The Woodmans Arms

About

The Woodman’s Arms – a welcoming country pub in Wootton on the Isle of Wight

Tucked just outside Wootton Bridge and close to the ferry ports of Fishbourne and East Cowes, The Woodman’s Arms is a relaxed country pub full of character, charm, and community spirit. Whether you’re exploring the island or looking for a local favourite to return to again and again, the Woodman’s offers a warm welcome, hearty food, and a beautiful garden setting ideal for all seasons.

Rustic charm with room to relax

Inside, you’ll find cosy fireplaces, traditional pub décor, and flexible seating for everything from romantic dinners to larger group get-togethers. The pub’s flexible indoor spaces are also available for private hire, making it a thoughtful and accommodating choice for birthday celebrations, family gatherings, and respectful wakes.

The landscaped beer garden is a popular spot during the warmer months, where you can dine alfresco, soak up the sun, or enjoy the dog-friendly areas with your four-legged friends.

Live music and Summer events

The Woodman’s Arms also has a reputation as a lively community hub, especially in the summer months. A highlight of the calendar is the Sunday Summer Chill Sessions—a series of laid-back, family-friendly live music events held in the garden throughout the warmer season.

Seasonal menus with local flavour

The kitchen serves up traditional comforting classics and island-inspired dishes. Menus range from pub greats to cottage-style home cooked dishes made with locally sourced produce and even vegetables grown in the pub’s own gardens (Summer season).
