The Taverners pub at Godshill is the first Island hostelry to make the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs guide.
THE owners of a Godshill pub, named as one of the best in the country, were this week toasting their success.
Husband and wife duo Roger Serjent and Lisa Choi were delighted to learn their 17th century pub, The Taverners, has made it into the prestigious 2010 Michelin Eating Out in Pubs guide — the first Island pub to do so.
The couple, who both grew up on the Island and now live above the pub with their twin daughters, bought The Taverners last year with the aim of creating a welcoming village pub serving rustic, hearty food.
Roger said: "We want people on the Isle of Wight to know they can come here for a great meal."
