The Ale and Oyster is thriving
T
he Ale and Oyster, situated in prime position on
Ventnor Esplanade, is thriving under the new
ownership of local team Sean Puttick and Jimmy
Brown.
Since re-opening the popular haunt, Sean and
Jimmy have worked to create a comfortable, stylish
environment, whether it be for a formal evening dinner
or a casual, social gathering between friends.
Sean,who has been in hospitality for many years, said:
“We always wanted a seafront location, and Ventnor was
the obvious choice as we feel it is fast becoming the food
capital of the Island.”
The Ale and Oyster are pleased to have Daniel
Mitchard on the team as head chef, with his creative but
uncomplicated menu. Sean continued: “We strive to use
local and seasonal produce where possible for our select
but varied menu. We aim to change our menu every two
to three weeks, looking for and using the ever changing
seasonal produce.”
The new-look interior of the Ale and Oyster was
designed and executed by Sean and Jimmy, and the
establishment serves a wide range of spirits, wines and
beers, as well as offering a range of cocktails. There is
also the facility at the front of the building to allow
customers to sit and enjoy coffee or lunch overlooking
the sea, or simply watch the sun
