The Folly

The Folly stands beside the River Medina and you can, if you wish, travel here from Cowes on the pub's own waterbus. In the bar are timbers from the hull of an old barge, and even the restaurant tables are named after boats. The menus offer a wide choice of sandwiches and wraps, jacket potatoes, gourmet burgers, and classics like beef and ale pie; breaded wholetail Scottish scampi; pan-seared Barbary duck; and spinach and ricotta cannelloni. There is a large beer garden and patio, and a new sheltered area.
