Perched along the banks of the River Medina and round the corner from Osborne House, you'll find The Folly Inn; a rural pub serving up traditional, reasonably priced foods to yachtsman and tourists alike. As legend would have it, The Folly started up in the 1700s by a French smuggling barge selling illegal alcohol after running aground. After realising the success, there came the Inn.
The Folly Inn is all about providing a massive welcome to anyone who walks in the door and with a grand menu selection and a specials board that changes daily, it is sure to satisfy everyone's taste buds. This open-plan pub is great for families and groups, providing a relaxed atmosphere and rustic feel. The pub is great for a summery day with a large picnic area leading onto the river, but if the weather fails, the pub is well-equipped with plenty of room indoors.
The food is delicious and varied - extremely popular for groups of sailors, friends and families. Large groups of workmates always book The Folly Inn early for their Christmas parties - knowing how quickly the excellent three course Christmas meals on offer will be snapped up!
The evenings bring a lively, fun atmosphere for people of all ages. There is often live music and once the tables have been cleared, the large sturdy tables have been known to turn into a dance floor for some groups... And don't think its just the young ones!
Osborne reflects Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's passions, tastes, and style. Ornate furnishings and artifacts from The Royal Collection fill rooms and corridors where Victoria entertained important guests and ruled the vast British Empire.
