You can't beat the Crab and Lobster for a good value Sunday roast! How they do it for this price amazes me, and just as good as any other pub I've been to.

Ventnor's local gem, The Crab and Lobster, offers a traditional pub experience with a friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and quality real ale. The pub is popular on Thursdays for quiz night and weekends, so booking is advised. Despite some unfair one-star reviews, this charming pub is a must-visit with well-priced meals, welcoming staff, and a warm community feel. Families with young children will appreciate the accommodating staff, while dog owners will love the pet-friendly environment. Plus, with quiz nights, local beers, and a fantastic Sunday roast, The Crab and Lobster is the perfect spot for a cozy, relaxed evening in Ventnor.
