The Crispin
About
The Crispin in Isle of Wight is a pub at 8-10 Carisbrooke Rd, Newport PO30 1BL, United Kingdom. Newport sits centrally on the island, with Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth all within reach.
The Crispin is known for its 4.2 out of 5 average across 236 reviews, a record that reflects steady local trade rather than passing visitors. Doors open at 15:00 Monday to Thursday and close at 23:00, while Friday runs from 14:00 until midnight. Saturday trading begins at noon and continues to midnight, and Sunday finishes earlier at 22:00.
First-time visitors should expect a traditional pub setting, with the island's vehicle ferries from Portsmouth, Lymington and Southampton and a foot service making arrival straightforward. Seafood landed by small boats, including crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters, features widely in island cooking. Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, so booking crossings ahead helps. English is the main language spoken across the island.
Weekday afternoons stay quiet until the 15:00 opening, while Friday and Saturday extend the evening well past the usual hour. Newport's central position means Ryde, Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin sit within easy reach for anyone moving between towns. Winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, so a crossing timed around the pub's Sunday 22:00 close leaves room to spare.
