The Dark Horse

With stone walls, original beams and enough character to woo even the most devout traditionalist, The Dark Horse in lovely Brading also boasts the light, bright feel that you might expect from a more contemporary establishment. The combination results in the most comfortable of settings in which to partake of good food and drink.

This 17th-Century inn welcomes all to enjoy its fine wines, excellent ales and extensive menu of wonderful homemade food. There is a varied à la carte and two specials boards to choose from. Opt for a classic pub grub dish, like a homemade burger or pie of the day, or delve into crayfish cocktail to start, followed by pork steak with a white wine and mushroom sauce. The lunchtime menu comprises salads, sandwiches and jackets, with plenty for vegetarians, as well as some light options. Sunday lunch, with three local meats to choose from, is a treat not to be missed; and there's even a 68oz steak challenge for the very hearty of appetite.

With themed nights throughout the year, varying from casino evenings to live music events, The Dark Horse team is working hard to keep patrons entertained, as well as fed and watered.
If you just can't get enough of all The Dark Horse has to offer, then book the holiday apartment above the pub and indulge for as long as you like
