“This was recommended to us… so glad we took it up”

This was recommended to us from the owner of our holiday cottage and so glad we took it up. Peel has some really nice places to eat and this has to be rated up there. They specialise in fish and steak but have other choices to. Lovely friendly owners who obviously take a lot of pride in what they do.

- Shhh... it’s Peel's little secret

Experience the essence of fresh Manx seafood at The Central, a charmingly secluded bistro just a stone's throw from the harbour. Enjoy our daily specials and seasonal highlights, all served in a cosy, friendly atmosphere steeped in tradition. Our hidden haven offers an intimate dining escape; spaces are exclusive and availability limited. Shhh... it’s Peel’s little secret.

The Central Hotel, established around 1608, is one of the first pubs ever recorded on the Isle of Man, once one of sixteen pubs in this little narrow street. It would have had maybe a barrel of homemade beer and a barrel of rum (probably contraband) in the front room.

Old newspaper cuttings tell of an entrance to a smugglers tunnel that ran from the back door of The Central and down the street to connect with other pubs to avoid the customs men.

 

 

Have you found us yet?

Peel is a quintessential small fishing town, with lots of narrow winding streets that reward a slow wander around. You may just stumble across us tucked down in Castle Street, or you could just check us out on the Google map.
