Whilst I have to say that the food we ate was ok for the price we paid I find it hard to get enthusiastic about the Inn. Maybe because there is such a large turn over of people there isn't time to give the place a good clean but it felt tired and inn need of some TLC. A wonderful... More

The last time i came here it was summer and buzzing. This time it was January and a bit Rainey and Blowey. For all that, its still a hell of a view. The Pub was shut last time but is open now but has clearly suffered both from exposure and visitors. Which i find a shame. The whole attraction of... More

Having not visited the Culver Haven for some years, we decided to give it a try after being told it had new owners. We were greeted by Debbie, Dan and Paul who made us welcome and put another log on the fire. The food was excellent, being freshly prepared and served with a smile. The portions were more than ample,... More

Views are gorgeous and well worth it even if you're not visiting the pub (especially on a cleat night to see the stars).... The... More

Never added a review before but I thought I should after seeing some bad reviews on here for this place. We have just moved to the Island from London and are very used to good food and a pleasurable dining experience. The staff were very friendly and made our party of seven feel very welcome. We all chose different meals... More

I feel compelled to write this review because I am so disappointed with the standard of food served recently. My family have always used and recommended the Culver Haven Inn to our friends, and have always looked forward to our visits there when staying in our nearby caravan. On our last visit, my mother and I ordered fish and chips,... More

Have just returned from a holiday on the Island, visited Culver Haven twice having already visited in July. The location is superb with extensive coastal views on either side of the Down. I cannot understand some of the negative comments as whenever we have visited, the landlord and his wife have been most welcoming. The food at the Culver is... More
