Here at The Steamer Inn we pride ourselves on the freshest food, a great selection of beers and wine and of course a warm and friendly welcome.

We are taking table reservations for seating inside the pub but not for the terrace. We are operating table service across the pub, please note that indoor and outdoor spaces are strictly no smoking.

Muddy boots (sandy toes in the summer) and well behaved dogs are welcome at The Steamer Inn. We do respectfully ask that dogs are kept on leads at all times and are not blocking walkways or doors to help us maintain a safe environment and adhere to social distancing measures.

During the summer months there’s nothing better than sitting on the terrace at The Steamer, soaking up the panoramic views across Sandown Bay, over the English Channel. Situated right on Shanklin Esplanade, the pub is just stone’s throw from the beach and the perfect spot to enjoy some of the Isle of Wight’s best, fresh seafood.

Enjoy a drink from our hand-picked wine list or sample a pint from our fine selection of real ales and beers, including some local brews. The Steamer is extremely family friendly and also has a dedicated kids menu. 

Nautical memorabilia adorns the walls of the entire pub, from the giant propeller that stands by the main entrance to the traditional fisherman’s glass floats that decorate the veranda and the ships wheel on the wall. 



The Steamer Inn is also an ideal base for your family holiday or short break. Take a look at our en suite rooms.
