Monthly Meetings
Monday 7th October will be at The Wight Mouse Inn, Chale, PO38 2HA
The Wight Mouse Inn offers a range of high-quality foods of generous proportions and a choice of traditional beers. The pub is well known for its pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. The Wight Mouse Inn and Clarendon Hotel was named after the shipwreck of the Clarendon which sank in Chale Bay in 1836 claiming 25 lives. Some of the timbers from the wreck were incorporated into the hotel and it was a popular destination for the upper classes in Victorian times. I am sure this makes it suitable for our members
Monday 4th November will be at The Taveners, Godshill, PO38 3HZ
Welcoming 17th-c pub with good food cooked by landlord-chef, emphasis on fresh locally sourced produce (some home-grown). Offering well-kept ales and plenty of wines by the glass. Good friendly service, spacious bar and two front dining areas, beams, bare boards and slate floors with a lovely woodburner. Parking is limited, so late-comers may need to search for a suitable parking place.
