This place I'm afraid was awful came here sat 31 march Easter sat ordered at 8 pm starters arrived 35 mins later mains then a further 25 later chips were cold wife's chicken breast had seen better days and was hard n overcooked and food very bland busy hence while there was at least 4 items missing off the menu our table was near to entrance and cold due to number of people in n out

Having spent a long weekend in shanklin we decided to go for a walk around the centre and came across this pub in a beautiful setting. Good pub food that was cooked perfectly and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a pub meal in a friendly atmosphere

Ate at this busy restaurant on an Easter weekend for dinner. Food arrived around 45 minutes after ordering which would be average. Served hot and it was surprisingly tasty as it was from the 'super saver menu' and I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. My first experience of eating at one of this restaurant chain locations. The Inn was very busy and obviously popular as 'walk-ins' were having to be turned away.

Whilst in Shanklin I thought I would visit the Crab. After placing my food order and purchasing a drink from the bar I glanced at my food receipt. I found that on my food order I had an extra bowl of chips. Firstly I thought that maybe the main order did not come with chips but would wait for the order to arrive. I was away from the table and got back to find my food order had been left there with two portions of chips. I had to leave my food (getting cold) return the extra chips and ask for a refund. This spoiled what should have been a treat as I can not always get out for a meal My advice to other fellow customers- check your receipt as you don't what added extras you might get

The Crab is a family, friendly eatery, we visit here at least 3 times a week and wouldnt go anywhere else now!>
The staff are all amazing especially Dave (affectionally known as Manky!!) as he goes the extra mile to make sure every thing is perfect for your visit, and is polite and helpful.
I could not recommend this place highly enough. The food is excellent and you have a choice of the cheaper or dearer menu which is all brilliant food!... actually we are heading that way tonight!!!
