Our pub is found just off the main street of ventnor. We serve 3 cask ales, often having a local ale on tap. We have a comprehensive stock of spirits and we are very proud of our whiskey collection. We serve traditional pub food which we are happy to serve in the main room of the pub or our very old quirky stable dining area. We are doggy and children frendly. Come and see us and say hello. But, don't get us mixed up with the crab and lobster at bembridge!

Please note that The Crab encourages sensible drinkers. A b**r before bedtime is fine.

As I write I'm listening to Harry Nilsson. He was pretty cool!

Phone and book your table. You could book through Facebook if you are ambitious!
