The Famous Creg-Ny-Baa, perched at one of the most iconic corners on the Isle of Man TT course, is more than just a prime spectator spot—it’s a cherished family-run pub and restaurant with a rich legacy of warm hospitality, excellent food, and stunning views. Owned and operated by the same dedicated team since January 2007, the Creg-Ny-Baa has become a must-visit destination for locals, tourists, and motorsport fans from around the globe.
The venue sits proudly on the A18 Mountain Road, known for its sweeping bends and dramatic landscape, offering one of the best TT race viewing points on the island. During race weeks, the area bursts to life with fans gathering to witness the thrill of the event, but outside the racing calendar, the Creg-Ny-Baa continues to welcome guests year-round for hearty food, fresh air, and relaxing countryside views.
The ethos here is simple but heartfelt: “Our family catering for your family.” This philosophy extends to every part of the experience—from the warm, family-friendly atmosphere to the care taken in preparing each dish. Children, seniors, and everyone in between will find something to enjoy on the menu, with dedicated kids’ options and even a thoughtful senior citizens' menu.
Food at the Creg-Ny-Baa is proudly homecooked and made with fresh, locally sourced produce. Whether you're after a plate of classic pub favourites, something comforting from the Daily Specials Board, or a hearty meal after a windswept walk in the hills, you’ll be spoiled for choice. From pies and burgers to fish and chips, there’s no shortage of satisfying fare.
What really sets this venue apart is its inclusivity. The team takes dietary requirements seriously, offering a popular and carefully prepared gluten-free menu, which includes dishes cooked in separate fryers with their own utensils to avoid cross-contamination. Meals are even marked with a small gluten-free flag to give diners peace of mind. There are also vegan-friendly and dairy-free options available, making it easy for everyone to enjoy a great meal, no matter their dietary needs.
Dogs are welcome in the lower bar area, making this a truly inclusive space for every member of the family, furry or otherwise. Inside, you’ll find a cozy, welcoming interior, while outside, the panoramic countryside views provide a perfect backdrop to a leisurely lunch or evening drink.
Sundays are especially popular here, with a menu that changes weekly and features both traditional roasts and well-loved pub classics. The warm, relaxed setting makes it an ideal spot for a casual family gathering, a catch-up with friends, or a quiet afternoon with a view.
Whether you’re a TT fan, a foodie, or simply in search of a scenic and friendly place to eat, The Creg-Ny-Baa offers a little something for everyone. Rich in heritage, proud of its food and service, and surrounded by some of the Isle of Man’s most breathtaking scenery, it’s a place that truly captures the spirit of the island.
