Hi

I'm off to the Folly this weekend - do you know whether you have to book a mooring or is it easy just to tie up on the pontoon?

Thanks

you can usually turn up, I am not sure if they take bookings. But, you would be best to book the restaurant!

You will be fine just turning up assuming you are in a rib. They tend to get you to moor up at the end of the pontoon where the Taxi service drops off. Cracking pub, food is fantastic might be best to book a table as they are usually packed

[nigelt]

yes, in the RIB.

Thanks for the advice. Just need to hope for the weather now!

Don't forget that Saturday is the Round the Island Race. About 1800 boats all told. This may mean that the Medina is a little less full Saturday lunchtime but Cowes will be v busy from mid Sat afternoon thru Sunday.

Great place!!

i cant rate that place highly enough!!!

[Lewy]

sometimes when the pontoon is busy they put all the ribs on a buoy and the water taxi takes you to the main pontoon.
The food is always excellent, quick and reasonable, but like you've been told before i'd say it would be better to book.
have a good time!

Soon gets busy and can be rafted four or five boats deep.

[Rodan]

go straight for the bouy just to the north of the pontoon - avoids the rafting up...

So you clearly haven't been dancing on the tables??

It is surely one of the best places in the Solent?

OK, the food is the same as in The Fountain, but the saff are great and it heaves on the weekend.

If you go there on a bank holiday, you will often hear Andy playing the drums which is a real treat.

Tell me where else there is that atmosphere??

Fairly average pub, trades on it's position.

Food has improved marginally, at least it's an improvement on their menu offering chicken-in-a-basket a few years back, but thats probably a dissapointment to some.
