NEW LOOK BUDDLE INN TO RE-OPEN ON MOTHERING SUNDAY

Following a period of careful refurbishment, The Buddle Inn at Niton will reopen on Sunday 10th March – just in time for Mother’s Day. The Buddle Inn, 1 of the Island’s oldest pubs, has been closed for the winter to allow owners to undertake a careful uplift of the pub’s interior and kitchen. An 18th-century smugglers inn, preservation of The Buddle’s unique character and charm has been at the forefront of the refurb, enhancing the Grade II listed pub’s flagstone and oak flooring, bar area and rustic barn. Comfortable bench seating has been installed throughout the pub, with new life breathed into The Buddle’s décor with the aim to add light, while maintaining the cosy and traditional feel of the olde world inn. Behind the scenes, improvements have been made to The Buddle’s kitchen and back-of-house area, providing a better working environment for staff and enabling additional service covers. Works are also underway to turn disused staff accommodation into 4 bedrooms, opening up the opportunity to become a boutique B&B later this year, further securing the pub’s future. Alongside the improvements made to the pub’s infrastructure, The Buddle is pleased to introduce a brand-new kitchen and hospitality team for the year ahead, led by talented Head Chef Mike Carley. Bookings are now open for Mother’s Day celebrations on 01983 730243, with a special 3-course menu available.
