Isle of Wight Distillery moved today (Wednesday) into its new premises at the former Wishing Well pub in Pondwell, and will reopen the old pub as a cocktail bar, named The Mermaid.

The venue has been transformed into a fully working distillery, cocktail bar and shop.

Visitors will be able to sip their favourite Isle of Wight spirits while viewing the inner workings of the distillery through a glass wall.

A spokesperson for Isle of Wight Distillery said: "Watch the distilling process in action from start to finish, then enjoy the fruits of the labour.

"If you're short on time and can't stay for a drink, there's an onsite shop where you can purchase everything in the Isle of Wight Distillery's range. It's the perfect stop for a great gift for any gin or vodka lover or even to treat yourself."

Tonight (Wednesday) is the opening night and anyone can join the team for a drink between 6pm and 11pm.

Throughout February, the distillery will be open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 3pm and 6pm to 11pm.

From March, it will be open 11am to 11pm daily.
