The Sloop Inn

About

The Sloop Inn – now re‑branded as Tide Mill – is a storied 150‑year‑old public house perched just beside Wootton Bridge on the Isle of Wight. Historically a landmark for local travellers and a touchstone of village life, the inn has transitioned into the Mitchells & Butlers Crown Carveries family while retaining its original charm. Visitors are drawn to the classic pub atmosphere, warm hospitality and a menu that celebrates hearty, locally sourced fare. Whether stopping for a quick pint after a stroll along the historic bridge, enjoying a family meal, or simply soaking in the century‑old architecture, the Sloop Inn remains a beloved gathering spot for both residents and tourists alike. The newly adopted name, Tide Mill, nods to the inn’s maritime heritage and the nearby tidal millpond that shaped the village’s history.
