Description:

17th century stone built single bar pub abounding in flagstones and beams and full of character.  The two guests normally include one from the island. It was reputedly the last pub in England with cock fighting and was authorised at one time to conduct marriages.   The area of Castlehold in which it stands refers to nearby Carisbrooke Castle and was once the home for every thief; rogue and beggar in Newport. Two big public car parks within 100 metres; families welcome with food served all day.
