Bonchurch Inn
Situated along Bonchurch Shute on the outskirts of Ventnor is the historic Bonchurch Inn.
The pub began life as the Tap of the Bonchurch Family Hotel. An unusual pub as it has it's own secluded courtyard with a patio area and sun lounge. The hosts, Ulisse and Gillian Besozzi have been in charge since 1984 so they are possibly the longest serving licencees on the Isle of Wight.
As the name suggests, Ulisse (Nino to his friends) is from Italy and the pub boasts a menu with some fantastic Italian dishes. A must for the real ale drinker too as the beer comes straight out of the barrels behind the bar! The Bonchurch is featured in 'An Island Pub Tour, The Thirst Round' DVD.
