Bayside Cabin in Gosport

Fantastic location serving first class food, overlooking the Isle Of Wight. Food was superb and the staff are warm and welcoming, dogs are offered a warm welcome too. If your in the area it’s a must 👌5⭐️

Delicious and amazing! Ava-go-go smoothie was profound. Surfer’s Paradise Baguette was a complete bargain and hit the spot. Halloumi fries and Curly fries are highly recommended. Thanks!

Often meet there with friends and colleagues and it seemed logical to have my Dad's birthday celebration there. Always been delighted by the staff and quality of food. There was a bit of an issue with Dad so we had to cancel and the genuine empathy and sincerity by the owner, Sue, was heart warming. Thank you so much and you will always be our go-to venue for everything in the future.

Dont ask for extra bread! Had pate for £8 which came with 4 small pieces of bread and thd salad was just a few leaves of something green, no dressing. Asked for extra bread and was Charged £2.50 more for half a roll of dry crusty bread. Service is appalling, staff just plonk food and run. No smiles or thank you. Don't even look at you

Honest Review. Used to come here a lot and won’t again here’s why. The basics have been forgotten. I’ve seen it over the months. Table of 5 1) Given ketchup and Mustard - both empty 2) It was quiet, no menus so we had to ask and told to go get them. 3) Asked if we wanted water, yes please. 3 glasses for 5 people to share. Had to endure the embarrassment asking for 5 in total after it was not clicking. 4) Asked for our food and drinks in good time that’s great. The food arrived but no drinks in sight after we have already eaten half the food. No one to ask. Staff looking busy in a quiet room. 5) Simple coffees followed by 2 oranges juices missing. Asked for them, didn’t arrive. Asked again they finally arrived at the end of eating. 6) Ordered toast with butter and marmite. No marmite. 😂 lack of butter to make up for that. 7) No sugar or spoon for the cup of tea. Had to ask. 8) Staff were friendly until we asked for the bill after all their mess ups. Was told: We done? Thankfully our journey here came to an end and we had got out. So overall, the site isn’t deserving of the service that is given. There are far better places to eat locally however you won’t get the sitting areas this place provides. A very unsatisfying visit, the front of house service has plummeted. A real lack of common sense when it comes to table service. Simple necessities missing.

Beautiful location, great place for a family breakfast, staff friendly and attentive, food was amazing, quick service will definitely be back (especially for the pancakes!)

We had a brilliant time at Bayside Cabin today. We could tell it was busy (by the high number of customers) but the staff were amazing even during peak time. Our food was lovely, so quick and the coffee was incredible!! We absolutely love it there and look forward to every visit :) Table 7 @ 12.30ish 😌

I came here for a quick lunch after a beach walk. However, we were felt disappointed. Straight away, we were greeted with great customer service. The women we spoke to were all friendly and happy. As we sat down we ordered our food. I had the all day brunch. It came out looking miserable and dry as it could be. The 2 rashes of bacon, overly chewy, dry, overcooked and ludicrously salty. The sausage was overcooked and dry, beans congealed together and chips were small and tasteless. My partner had the surfers paradise (?) which looked very unappealing. Dry, paper thin steak stacked with a mountain of tiny prawns resulted in disappointment and a stomach ache! The toilets were unspeakably dirty also, however this is more down to the customers. Overall, I shalt be coming back as the food was very poor. It’s a shame really, as the customer service was pretty good. I imagine it’s more of buying cheap supplies rather than a kitchen staff issue!

I organised a surprise 50th party for my husband and boy was it a rip roaring success ! The venue is perfect, the dj was ace, the barbecue food was awesome and the staff were amazing ! Fantastic service even when i had firgotten 3 more vegetarians Suzy was immediately on the case sorting everything out. I found her to be so professional, organised and helpful and the service was absolutely impeccable! I could not have got anything better anywhere else. I fully recommend this venue for functions absolutely spot on ! Thank you so much to Suzy and the team !

Thank you so much to Neon (chef) and the team for being so accommodating and adapting to my complicated allergy needs. You all went above and beyond to ensure I was able to have a delicious lunch. Your allergen information is excellent and organised very well. I felt so calm and welcoming compared to other cafes and restaurants I've visited. Thank you all so much again. 10/10 :-D

Arrived after a long walk needing a drink . two ladies very busy getting ready for the evening trade but a very warm welcome from them snd nothing to much trouble , very polite and friendly . Cakes amazing coffee the best I’ve had for a long time definitely worth a visit Natasha and Tegan were amazing thank you

Lovely visit for lunch. Location is lovely beach views at stokes bay. We enjoyed really nice food which was hot,tasty and enjoyable. Staff and service was brilliant.We enjoyed our visit⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went into the cafe and was told to find a seat and someone would take my order soon. A few mins later and our order of Tea, coffe, Pepsi and a lemonade was taken. We received the tea and coffe quite quickly but then after 10 mins we asked about the cold drinks to be told they come from the bar in the other room ( it was a can of Pepsi and a glass of lemonade) should that really take 15 mins to sort out. Meanwhile I asked for our food order to be taken - that never happened as it had been so long we gave up and paid for the drinks and walked out. The say the food is lovely there, I wouldn’t know I waited 30 mins and after asking if my order could be taken still never was. Goodness know once placing an order for food how long it would take to arrive at our table. Don’t think I’ll be going back !!

I was with my Mother in Law, we were early so decide to have breakfast rather than wait, I had Eggs Benedict which were amazing the best I've had for a very long time, and my Mother in law had Pancakes and maple syrup which she also said was amazing and best she had , will be back. Staff always polite and very speedy service, Thankyou.

Visiting family in area and like to stop here for lunch gorgeous views. The outside marque was closed for private even so had to sit inside which was noisy but warm. Had beef chilli & rice. Big pieces of beef slow cooked not enough beans and no chilli spice at all. Must do a dog menu as a miniature poodle on next table had a pupaccino then a sausage. So cute, thought I spoilt my dog!!! Worth a visit just to see that.

Popped in for a family breakfast and it was lovely. Menu is varied and the food came out fairly quickly and was clearly cooked to order. My daughters said the American pancakes were the best they have tasted! There were a lot of well behaved dogs in the conservatory part so if you are not a dog lover just be warned.

We went to eat in the cafe, went through the front door, was not greeted by anyone, so we sat ourselves. A waitress walked past us and told us to grab our own menus! My partner went to do so and another waitress told him they bring them over! We then overheard the staff complaining about us and the fact we had sat ourselves, it needs to be clearer that you need to wait to be served. Anyway looked at the menus and the prices were quite expensive, more than pub prices. I don’t mind paying for quality, but having seen some dishes come out and the portion sizes, we did not think this was value for money. We got up and left and went elsewhere. Also felt very cramped in there, tables very close together. Very disappointed

The food was really average and we waited 30 mins for our drinks (a tea and a coffee) which didn’t turn up until after we’d finished eating. We ordered a takeaway coffee which also took ages to turn up. There was plenty of staff and it wasn’t overly busy but reading the reviews I can see this is a reoccurring theme. It’s a shame because the location is great!

We visit frequently for lunch but sadly today was not up to scratch. Took ages for our order to be taken then when food arrived it wasn’t that hot and the crab cakes were very hard and over cooked. My latte never did arrive despite asking twice for it. Staff far from helpful today which is a shame. We have come to expect better.

Thank you so much to Susi and the rest of the team for making my Mum's 80th birthday family gathering so special. From the initial enquiry and planning with Susi nothing was too much trouble. There were 28 people in the party ages ranging from 4 to 80, we were all looked after so well, everyone enjoyed themselves and my Mum had an amazing time. Thank you so much

Really decent breakfast with lots of options on the menu, friendly staff nice and clean and cosy place and a fantastic outlook onto Stokes Bay, plus a huge car park.

The service was so slow, we ordered a hot chocolate and coffee only but waited 30 mins. I spotted our order on the side so offered to carry it to my table. I was told someone will bring it over immediately but still waited a further 10 mins. I thought this might be a one off so tried again, but this time I asked for takeout (same 2 drinks). I had to wait 15 mins and it didn’t appear too buy inside. Worth the wait? No, never again!

Great lunch stop. Reasonably priced with high standard of food and friendly staff. Describe themselves as a cafe but TBH rack of ribs is not the average cafe food. Nice beach walk over looking the Solent too.

The venue for my Mother’s wake. The tables were dressed beautifully with the family additions of fluorescent flamingos and napkins. The afternoon tea was plenty for those who were there and we felt no push to eat up and clear off. The staff were all wonderful and respectful of the occasion.

Don’t go here on a Sunday! Waited 20 mins and was not served….went up to the counter and asked to order, was told we were on ‘list’….sat back down and waited a further 10 mins and asked again and was told someone would come over but waited a further 10 mins and still no-one took our order so we left.

Our sincere thanks go to Susi and her team for making our family get together such an amazing experience. The consevatory was perfect, the food was great, the scones were superb!! The staff were brilliant and could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone enjoyed themselves which was in no small part due to your attention to detail before and during the event. Thank you so much and we will hopefully see you again soon.

Young female staff with bad attitudes. Witnessed 3 young men leave, an older man and usAlso on Friday no milk not enough staff Slow rude poor service Definitely gone down hill - such a shame Keeping your back to the shut door where customers try to get in is pretty grim

I'm so angry and disappointed by my experience here again. The first time I visited I ordered pancakes and maple syrup, which was served with golden syrup. When we complained we they offered no alternative or apology. I decided to go back today after a long gap and ordered their baked eggs. Sounded lovely. Baked eggs in a spicey tomato sauce with crispy potatoes, sourdough toast and fresh coriander and chilli. Yum! But in reality I got a chopped up sausage in tinned tomatoes with what I think was a very soggy hash brown mashed on top. The toast wasn't even sourdough. There wasn't any chilli or corriander any where to be seen and finally the biggest insult of all is it was topped with an over cooked FRIED egg. The name of the bloomin' dish is BAKED EGGS! I will not be darkening their doorway again. I feel sorry for the young staff they employ that obviously have had little training. I complained again today and they offered no apology or solution. The people who run it are obviously tryibg to increase profits by substituting what's advertising on the menu for cheaper products and paying staff minimum wage. Truly awful.

We love this place. The food is great, even more so now with the new chef. The service is quick and polite. There is an outside area which is great in the summer. The views are great looking over the solent to the Isle of Wight.Parking is easy with a massive car park directly outside and is priced at about a pound an hour, which is great for its location.

Witnessed terrible staff behavior. The manager or staff member from this cafe followed a lady with a disabled child in a wheel chair out of the cafe and started shouting at them in the car park. Something about uncooked food, like she dared to complain. It was awful, the child had clumps of hair missing and looked like he was having treatment.

Had the fish and chips for lunch better than Rick stein in Falmouth and half the price would highly recommend. Sorry couldn't take picture as it was wolfed down.

Had a lovely breakfast in the Bayside this morning x Great fresh cooked food as usual. It was nice to see Suzie back with her lovely warm manner coordinating staff and putting safety at the top of the agenda. It’s a delight to go out in these times and feel that the environment is clean and safe. It was nice to see lots of senior citizens relaxed and enjoying themselves as-wellThank you for a lovely time x .

Today, Sunday, 30th August 2021 my husband and i did our usual walk and visited your cafe as we have done numerous times. Today was different. We arrived at 14.10pm and ordered the following:1 milkshake, 1 cappuccino and one cherry shortbread. The shortbread arrived after 10 minutes, the milkshake followed. After 20 minutes there was no sign of the cappuccino, so we asked the server and she said she would check on it. A second time we had to ask again as nothing was coming our way. We finally received it after 25 minutes. When we decided to leave and I went to the bar area to pay I had expressed my disappointment and the lady that took my payment of £9.40 responded with ' well it is bank holiday weekend'. No apology, nothing. I responded with 'that doesn't justify the poor service' which in return she responded, 'we are in a pandemic you know' and then said to me, 'don't bother coming back then'. Absolutely appalling service. The cafe was in fact half empty. First and foremost we are locals and have never been treated in this way and will certainly never be coming back.

Have eaten here a few times for breakfast and had some good visits and one or two just ok visits.This review is for a visit for what they call FISH FRYDAY! I would call it Forget about Friday!We ordered whitebait (overcooked)Main was two Fish and Chips and when it came, the batter was so over cooked that the batter was so dark and hard. The fish within was very little and for the price (very small) We gave it a chance and started eating, but tasted over cooked as well as looked, so we told the waitress who said she would tell the chef.No one came back to see us and in fact we were simply then just offered the sweet menu!We could have quite easily just refused to pay but assumed the cafe would take up this responsibility and deduct the food from the bill, of which they didn't and charged us full price...knowing we were unhappy and in fact left 2/3 of our meals.We got home and emailed the company with a similar email to this and received no reply back! very poor indeed I must add.We have our own rules when eating out that if a cafe/restaurant messes up in any way that we give them one more chance.... But in this case to further ignore our email was their second chance so will not now ever return.It is a shame for them as we would have visited 1-2 times a week and even taken friends, but not now, so for the sake of not rectifying the problem have now lost many more sales for the future! An establishment as this cannot assume to produce such rubbish is acceptable and to further expect a customer to pay for it also is extremely wrong! Lessons to learn, but the hard way it seems

Not sure what’s happened to Bayside as the experience and food we had recently was far from what we have experienced on past visits. The service to get our order was slow and and it wasn’t busy from what we have seen before. Then the order when delivered was incorrect and to make matters worse the cooked breakfast was awful, the bacon evidently had been sat under a hot lamp for a while as it was virtually inedible it was that hard and the chips cold. I should have called the waitress over to complain but we were in a hurry and after the error with the order in the first place and slow service we didn’t feel we could wait any longerIt’s a shame because we as a family are up for supporting local businesses to help them get back on their feet but not at our expense. We decided rather than holidaying in Cornwall, the Lakes or Scotland we would stay relatively local and so we had our family holiday on the Isle of Wight and what a stark contrast most of the eateries over there offer in terms of quality and customer experience than that of what we experienced at the Bayside.It might have just been a bad day in the kitchen and front of house for the team at The Bayside and we’ll just have to leave it at that

We hired the room upstairs which has a balcony overlooking the beautiful bay, which was absolutely ideal for pictures of our occasion.The room was clean, spacious & modern with a toilet very close by for the guests convenience. The staff were friendly, bubbly & waited on us hand & foot, service was seemless & the food was & always is delicious. The menu is always up with the times & fairly priced. Highly recommend Bayside for all occasions.

We sat at the table for 10 minutes before I got up and asked if someone could take our order. A while after taking the order 1 drink was brought over, 5 minutes later my tea arrived but still no drinks for the kids. We waited a long time for the food, which all arrived separately, at which point I reminded them the kids still didn’t have their milkshakes. For the price the food was mediocre, my skins on fries were regular oven chips and my friend said her prawn baguette was not worth the money. We will go elsewhere in future

Nice variety of food and drink, right on the waterfront. Staff smile and are helpful and polite. Would definitely recommend.

We popped in here at lunchtime after walking our dog at Gilkicker point beach. What a surprise. Best milkshake I've ever had in my life (I'm 64). Fab lunch, rib eye steak panini, wife had brie, bacon and cranberry panini. Fancy lemonade. All for £23. I'd have happily paid double. Lovely waitress got us a nice table so our dog was comfy in the shade. We will definitely be coming back. Definitely 5 star.

We are staying in the area and have visited most days, either for breakfast, coffee or lunch. We have not been disappointed on any visit. The staff are so lovely, cakes are delicious and the best breakfast. Delicious local produce. Oh did I forget to say how amazing the view is.

Great food and good service, reasonable value for money, but best thing is the location brilliant. Ideal lunch stop followed by a seafront walk ?

We were regulars at the Bayside Cabin prior to covid. Sadly no longer.They have a new chef and a new menu, and it is due to the menu changes that we will no longer be regulars, like many of our friends who used the Bayside Cabin regularly who will no longer go as the menu does not cater to their tastes.The staff are brilliant and working their socks off in sometimes difficult circumstances, so on the odd occasion may need to be cut a bit of slack (referring to some unkind reviews). This is a lovely place to go, but the lunchtime menu now reads more like the specials board, with main plates starting at £12. The meals are excellent, and what I would normally look as an evening meal out. When you want a smaller meal at lunchtime, the menu is very limited. (Breakfast menu is excellent.)There are no salads or baked potatoes on the lunch time menu - this is a big challenge especially for customers watching what they eat.My favourite dish of surfers paradise is also no longer available. This was the griddled sandwich steak and prawns in garlic and chilli sauce, usually in a baguette, which could be swapped for salad.If you want a pub style well cooked and presented special meal at lunchtime, you will be very happy.Just adding salads and baked potatoes (even if I can't get my surfers paradise back...) will increase the customer base.

We arrived, checked into NHS Track & Trace at 10:30, shown to our table and at 11:00 still hadn’t been served. We left just after. Quite disappointed really. They weren’t even operating at 50% capacity so it does make me wonder how they cope when busy. Very unhappy experience!

The downward spiral of this cafe continues. The level of customer service is truly appalling.I visited with my mother who is 88 and unable to stand for very long. After 10 minutes of waiting to be seated I approached a senior member of staff to ask if we could be seated and she looked daggers at me before pointing to a table. This typifies the customer service I have received on my last 3 visits.The toasted sandwiches were so overdone we barely ate them.You need to read the myriad of bad reviews your customer service receives and re train staff to focus on their customers.The views are lovely and that is the sole reason for visiting.

My husband, mother-in-law and I went there for lunch today. We sat outside in the shade, in one of the “huts.” I was little surprised there was only one small hand sanitiser that I saw.Lunch was nice. My mother-in-law had the simple salad and skin on fries and we shared a simple salad, skin on fries and chilli calamares. The skin on fries were good. The waitress asked if we wanted onion with our salad, which seemed a little odd to me. I asked for no tomato with our salad and my husband asked for lots of red onion. It came up as requested but very little dressing so we asked for more. It took a while for this to arrive but really made a difference to our enjoyment of the salad. The chilli calamares were very tasty.The waitress was very obliging and found a bowl of water for my mother-in-law’s dog.It was a nice setting for lunch, and we enjoyed looking at the beach. Loads of seats outside and in the conservatory. Loads of parking but you do have to pay.

Had a lunch here with two friends and was really pleased with the revamp of this place. The new menu was excellent, three different dishes chosen and each were very good. There was a slight misunderstanding about the order but the staff were very efficient in rectifying this and politely apologetic . Will return.

Very impressed with the covered seated area. Sadly, poor service. Waited so long to be served I had to go up to the counter & request to order, despite it not being particularly busy.Very good choice on the menu. I ordered Isle of Wight Tomato salad with Burrato although very nice, it actually comes with Mozzarella, and there is a difference between the two so would like to see menu amended.I will definitely go again and despite a couple negatives, would definitely recommend .

I visited this morning and was so disappointed with the attitude of the manager on shift - everything seemed to be too much trouble. The menu clearly states optional extras can be added to a breakfast. Due to alligies I can’t have the sausages or the beans in the small breakfast so I asked to swap it for an extra piece of bacon and an extra egg instead. Apparently this was far too much trouble and after this the staff were unpleasant to deal with. I asked if we could choose how to have the eggs and I asked for poached eggs and so did my friend - unfortunately hers came fried - the manager offered to make her a new one but said it would have to be charged for because ‘the new girl got confused with all the changes.’ Not fair to blame a new person for a mistake and the problem was not dealt with - the egg should have been replaced free of charge. When I asked for some tomato sauce the manager was rude and trying to rush away from the table. I have messaged them to give them the opportunity to apologise and although they did apologise I was also given loads of excuses - including how the chef can get angry when simple changes are made to a breakfast.

We had a delicious lunch here today. It was our first visit to Gosport and we decided this looked a good choice for lunch. I had the fish and chips which came with really tasty mushy peas with mint. I normally don’t like mushy peas but these were delicious. My wife had the falafel with quinoa, and a portion of skin fries which she also really enjoyed. Service was really quick and all the staff were very friendly. We sat in the garden which was great in the sun looking across to Ryde. We will definitely return.

I would normal put 5stars for bayside cabin as we love coming here but.......We drove all the way there after lockdown to find our favourite surfers paradise baguette had been taken off the menu due to a new cook. In fact there were no steak sandwiches on the menu at all anymore. Very disappointed.

Went here today for lunch on there first day reopening after lockdown, apparently they are offering a new menu and it was very good! We had Crab Thermidor, it was really tasty (quite rich as it should be), good portion, served with a fresh side salad and well seasoned fries. We also had a side of halloumi fries that came with Cajun mayonnaise, again very yummy with the right amount of chilli kick without overwhelming the dish. Overall the menu appeared varied with “small plate” options, vegan and vegetarian choices too and the cake looked nice but we were too full for pudding! Location is great as you are just in front of the beach over looking the Solent. Service was attentive and they were very considerate of Covid safety precautions.

We visited here for a birthday lunch. We had pre booked, and requested a specific table, unfortunately that had been given to someone else.The food was plentiful, but mine was rather greasy & lukewarm. They were exceptionally busy, but I was not a fan.Had a nice walk along the beach after to blow away the cobwebs.

At these times and with being asked to wait to be seated at the door, you need a dedicated greeter to deal with the large queues. We were stood outside for 10 minutes waiting to be seated. And we were first in the queue! Several waitresses passed by with a ‘Be with you in a minute’ but still we waited. And it wasn’t because you were busy, there were three empty tables that I could see. If I hadn’t already paid for the parking, I’d have gone elsewhere.

Unfortunately this is not my first visit in recent weeks and nothing has improved. I used to use Bayside when it was just a caravan and up to recently was completely satisfied.Having been in a queue outside waiting to be seated for at least 20 minutes in the pouring rain, and all the time watching staff whizz by endlessly totally ignoring those outside even though there appeared to have many tables empty. Lack of staff organisation and pleasantries find many customers frustrated and disgruntled including myself and friends!Appreciate we find ourselves in this awful pandemic and it’s wonderful we still manage to take coffee etc in our local restaurants and cafes but if the standards drop any lower are we really missing out all.

After waiting to be seated we were taken to a table outside as requested. We were just ordering drinks and a friendly dark haired waitress soon took our order. We were impressed with her attempt at second sales. Alas that was the last we saw of her. Luckily it was a sunny day so we enjoyed the view whilst waiting for our drinks. After 40 minutes we got the attention of a blond waitress who just said they were busy. We asked her just to check and let us know how much longer we could be expected to wait. Off she went to find out, or so we thought. We waited another 15 minutes during which time no waiting staff entered the garden area dispute other tables also requiring service. We saw the blond girl inside keeping herself busy and it was obvious she had no intention of returning to our table to enlighten us. So after waiting 55 minutes for a tea and a coffeE with no apology for the delay we left. Reading other posts on here and the lack of response by management it is clear this establishment does not deserve the trade. I suggest you take a flask and picnic if you decide to use this cafe, I really don’t think they would notice. This also is not Covid safe as tables and chairs not wiped between customers. Avoid at all costs if you value your time.

Had a lovely cooked breakfast at the Bayside this morning x Great service lovely food x All Covid protection in place x Waitresses working hard to keep to all new measures x Thank you

My husband and I visited here for lunch at the weekend and I can honestly say that we will not be returning. People who came in after us were served before us and after a long wait I had to ask for our order to be taken. We waited ages for our sandwiches but no drinks. After asking 4 times we were told that they were waiting for cups!! Joke!! Finally when my husband had finished his lunch our drinks were brought to us. My tea was like warm! Went to pay the bill and they had tried to charge us for another table alongside ours. They didn't appear bothered by any of this, extremely disappointing. A place to avoid!!

Service and food was awful.. took them 20 minutes to seat us despite not being particularly busy. Our food was served without cutlery, condiments and napkins. Nobody came to ask if we were satisfied or if there’s anything else we needed. Our food, the hummus and falafel wrap, for £7.50 each, was literally a tortilla wrap with one small squished falafel and a teaspoon of hummus. The side salad was dried lettuce, tinned corn and one slice of tomato. Absolutely disappointed with the experience.

Arriving mid afternoon in a quiet period only to ignored at the door for some time, finally lead to a table in the garden.Order 2 drinks from a waiter who was very stressed.A young lady delivered the drinks both wrong! She went back and confirmed this was the case. I accepted my drink but my wife asked for her order, another waiter delivered a pot of tea, no extra charge we were told, but can we have a cup to drink it from?Waited and waited no cup, my wife went inside and was given a cup! I had to ask a member of staff to back away as he was in our face without any face covering we never saw any cleaning of the tables.Sadly I have to post this as we have been customers for years.

We stopped for lunch while out and about, big mistake that was!!! First we waited by the sign saying please wait to be seated. Several members of staff walk past totally ignoring us, we should of walked away then. After finally being seated in the garden by the young blonde waitress she said she’d get us a menu, she has no aware of social distancing as several times stood right in between us. She then came back a minute or so later with some meals asking if they were ours. How could they possibly be ours when you have just seated us. She just wondered around with orders the whole time we were there not knowing where she was going with them. We sat for quite a while before our order was taken but other people were ignored and treated the same with the same blonde girl wondering around. She brought us our knifes and forks in a Pepsi cup with serviettes and condiments which was ok but she tipped it all over the table then walked off to another table. As tables weren’t cleaned between people leaving and new ones coming I asked for new ones, she stared blankly at me then tried to take the old pot away but I didn’t trust her not to bring the same ones back. We were asked if we’d like draught coke or bottled, we chose bottled and it was given to us in a plastic bottle but no offer of a glass. Food came and was brought over by a different waitress, some chips had fallen off my husbands plate onto the tray and he was asked if he wanted them as the tray was clean. Obviously he said no but we couldn’t help but laugh as this is just ridiculous. Food was ok but nothing special. Several people got up and walked out as they had been sat there ages and no one had come back to take their orders. Considering we are in a pandemic you’d think they would be extra clean but I guess some things never change. This is not a covid safe place and we will not be returning.

As they have not opted to bring business in with the £10 Boris bonus, we were really disappointed that the Bayside Cabin did not offer a better experience to compensate. The service was SO slow. We had to go up and ask to put in our order, to ask for cutlery and to ask for coffees (and they even got that order wrong). The waiter actively avoided making eye contact until I stood up, waved and yelled ‘yohoo!’. If this is their way to get their business back, I don’t think we will be rushing to return!

With signs outside asking you to wait to be seated we did just that, all the time watching staff walk past not acknowledging us! When we were seated we were promptly forgotten about. There are no signs to explain how to order (btw it’s table service) so twice we went to the bar and on the second time we managed to place an order. Unfortunately the food didn’t do the location justice. It’s a nice place for a drink, with a nice sea view but the food lets it down and despite there being quite a lot of staff, the service was poor. Sorry Bayside Cabin.

This cafe has really good views, with panoramic views. My son and I had a full English breakfast, while the bacon was tasty, the rest (especially the sausages) were rather bland and lacked taste.While I appreciate it can be difficult to social distant in a cafe, this is an area we’re this cafe needs to improve e.g.1) there is a table near the entrance in the middle of main restraint, EVERYONE whom comes in/out of the restaurant can not social distances. We were first given this table, but requested to move, which the staff did move us.2) when the staff moved us to a table towards the side, they did not sterilise the old table before new customers sat there.3) appreciating Covid is spread via water droplets and people are not wearing makes (as it’s a restaurant)... ALL the clean cutlery was right by the main entrance (touching distance) completely exposed to everyone.If Covid was not around, I would consider coming back here again. However in the current climate, We felt this was NOT a Covid safe environment, which the restaurant needs to urgently address.

Visited with my wife and our two rescue dogs. Fab location looking onto the beach. The food was nice and the staff were very friendly. If staying locally this is a great place to visit for afternoon tea, while enjoying the beach or visiting the Diving Museum (which we didn’t visit due to co19).

We brought 2 baguettes, 1 sausage and 1 bacon. Bacon baguette was perfect, sausage baguette only had one sausage in, for the size of the baguette and price it needs to be doubled up.

After a day on the beach, my sister and I were pleasantly surprised to see that the Bayside were doing takeaway food. We ordered a fish finger sandwich each and some cheesy curly fries. I don’t think it’s possible to make bad curly fries so we weren’t surprised that they were great. But the sandwiches were awesome! Big chunky fish fingers, thick bread, proper butter, will definitely go down as one of the best fish finger sandwiches I’ve ever had! I’m going to take my husband down today as he was a bit jealous when I told him about it.

I met up with a friend for a coffee and a sandwich. Unusually, we waited some time for our coffee.A waitress passed by and we queried where our coffees were."There's only 3 of us on" she replied somewhat curtly.The coffee and sandwiches duly arrived and were of the usual standard.On looking around, there were at least 5 members of staff.This is the first time we had encountered a reaction like this, but didn't let it detract from our meeting

Menu good, servings on large size and hot. Good selection of beverages tea to larger. Dogs allowed and children as well.Both were there when we were there Conservatory/ Marquee and outside seats, car park great lots of Disabled spaces nearby.Staff very friendly and smile not forced.

Decided to go for lunch today. Arrived in the dry after what we guess must've been the breakfast rush. Several tables to choose from.New menu (new to us) with a fair selection to choose from. Hubby not over the moon with his chicken thigh burger. But the rest of us loved our wraps and panini. Fresh and hot. Quick service.

Another great time at Bayside Cafe. Weather was awful but welcome and food was warming. Areally good family experience.

Lovely Cafè, brilliant food and good service. One downside is the new build part can be quite cold and requires sitting in your jacket.

Whatever you are looking for this is the place to go. Wide choice of seating in very clean surroundings - inside and outside. Great views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight. Wide selection of food all freshly cooked and at very reasonable prices. Take a walk along the seafront and then settle down for either a very filling breakfast or excellent lunch - and in the summer, evenings too. We are lucky enough to live only a couple of miles away - so walk there and back - takes away the guilt of eating so well. This is our go-to place all year round!

Stopped here for the last 2 Saturdays. Coffee and cake just fine but this place lets dogs in and it was absolutely crazy in the beach view area. The cafe shouldn’t allow customers with dogs in the cafe,that bark and growl at each other, which upset a family with twins and the babies started crying.The dogs and the owners should stay outside in the covered area so as not to annoy guests.Well give this one more chance and see what happens. Would these dog owners like it if they were out for a quiet coffee and had to put up with other peoples dogs noise?

I've been here before and complained that the cutlery, more often than not, needs a good clean but today has finished me!I ordered pancakes, maple syrup and bacon whilst hubby had a fry-up. We Ordered black coffee and then asked if they did decaffeinated. 'Yes' was the reply so I asked for two of those.I paid the bill and when I got to the table and saw the menu I realised that I'd been charged 80p more. Upon questioning this I was told that decafs are charged at 40p extra!! No mention by the girl at the till though or on the menu!!As hubbys mushrooms and beans were barely tepid - which has happened before - I'm done with this establishment! There is a much better one in Gosport High Street where the food is always hot and they don't mind substituting one item for another which the Bayside will NOT do. Bye.

Beachside cafe with great sea views. Breakfast very tasty and served within minutes by the friendly, helpful staff. The cafe is clean and well looked after. What more do you want?

Sat inside as cold wind blowing & mom is elderly. We had baked potatoes one cheesy beans & one cheese & coleslaw. Hot tasty & arrived quickly. Just wish they’d use larger plates as food tends to fall off! Had two cans fizz & it came to £11.50. Felt bit cold because door to marque constantly left open, shame but good food.

Went for breakfast on Monday after a recommendation. The staff were lovely, polite and efficient, but one of the breakfasts was dire. Hubby had the Gosport ferry breakfast which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the "special" of eggy bread with mushrooms. If the mushrooms had been cooked the previous year,frozen and then reheated just before serving, they couldn't have tasted worse. The eggy bread looked and tasted mass produced. Consistency and taste of plastic. So disappointed

Whenever I visit My family in Gosport we always come to the bayside for brunch. The food is amazing and value for money. The views over the Solent are stunning. Every visit is a delight and we can’t wait until the next time.

It was busy on the day we visited and the staff are pleasant and helpful, very prompt response from staff to our requests. Good choices on the menu and the food was very tasty. Lovely views from the restaurant and easy to park close to the restaurant.

This was my 1st visit today & it was a great eating experience. The staff were both friendly and helpful & the food was very tasty & well cooked. The service was also great. Don't stop what your doing as you are doing a great job. Thank you.

Visited here today over the bank holiday, it was extremely busy just like it always is, that that speaks volumes for itself. Staff although rushed of their feet couldn't have been any more polite or helpful and as usual the food was excellent. Love the new extension they have had put on a real asset to Gosport

Very nice avocado fries with chilli. Fresh tasty salads. We enjoyed halloumi fries and New York Deli. Good service. Beachside view.

We have visited this place on many occasions and the food and service have always been excellent. However having visited with family a few weeks ago the menu had been changed and choice of food was limited and the whole place was scruffy and could have done with a good clean.

This used to be a lovely place to go to for lunch etc. I visited a few weeks ago with my husband and was sad to see the menu had been reduced greatly. I visited again with a friend a couple of weeks ago and we were both really disappointed with our food. We won’t be returning.

Visited today with family,met by a cackling rabble of young rude girls, more interested in themselves than customers. Lots of eye rolling and huffing and puffing.

Great lunch fantastic location. Staff are really helpful and friendly and the food is always good. Only downside though no fault of the cabin is having to pay to park

Impressive varied menu for all tastes and appetites.Comfortable seating area with good sea views. Great having an ice cream parlour attached. Good service and pleasant staff.

We often pop in here for a cuppa or a sandwich. Lovely friendly staff, in a clean environment. Today we had a BLT which was freshly made with real bacon and amazing brown bread. Never disappointed here 👍🏼

Lovely on a nice day. Seemed clean and tidy lunch came quick and was tasty . Will visit again. Not to costly

Booked a table this time for a group of us all former work mates who enjoy a get together regularly Decided on the breakfast. Eat in the roomy airy extension with the wonderful view of the bay and the Isle of Wight. Ordered from the breakfast menu - pancakes' bacon and maple syrup with mushrooms and sausage. My other half had a bagel with scrambled egg and smoked salmon whilst friends chose their own from the extensive menu. Service was quick and food on the table in less than 10 minutes. All brought to the table with a smile. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they had and we agreed the Bayside is a great place to get together , as locals we are so glad its not far away

Visited the Bayside Cabin Café today with my lovely wife and her elderly father. There's plenty of parking, including disabled bays, in the pay & display car park next door and wheelchair friendly access. We sat in the conservatory area, which is bright & airy with nice sea views. There's also plenty of outdoor seating. The menu includes light meals, sandwiches, baked potatoes and the like. It's nothing fancy but it seems to work as it was very busy for a weekday lunchtime. I enjoyed my mushroom & halloumi burger with curly fries. My wife had a fish finger sandwich, which was pretty sizeable, while my father-in-law tucked into an egg & bacon sandwich. Throw in a couple of coffees & a glass of wine and the bill came to around £25 which is reasonable value. Suitably replete we headed off for a pleasant stroll along the seafront. A nice day out!

bad service bad food and very expensive dont complain they dont care my sausages were under cooked when i complained i had to have a disscussion about temp. control rather than just offering to put them back under the grill as i am local i will let everyone i know how bad this so called restauraunt is if you bok a function or wedding i feel soory for you

Been here quiet a lot but last Sunday morning was the warst ordered breakfast waited over half an hour for coffee waited another half an hour for breakfast when it did arrived my sausage was raw. When we complain the staff argued with my husband and said wasn't in the end we walked out. This is a very experience place to have breakfast it cost £16:00 for a uncooked breakfast ..you are better of going to asda

Can't fault the staff or the food, lovely and very helpful. Food arrived promptly and was lush.

We were taken here by people who frequent the restaurant. They apologised as worst they’d ever had.

Very reasonably priced. Outside garden caters for dogs. Quick service. Freshly prepared food and friendly welcoming staff. Great location. Ideal after a walk on the beach.

A good beach cafe with outdoor facilities and conservatory area. The food is always freshly cooked and reasonably priced. The cafe can be noisy when full as sound tend to bounce around the walls. One slight downside (not the fault of the cafe) if you are going there specifically for the cafe and wish to use the car park it resides in you have to pay the council parking fee.

Impressive varied menu for all tastes and appetites.Comfortable seating area with sea views. Great having an ice cream parlour attached. Good service and pleasant staff.

Saturday brunch for two, 30 March 2019. Great location, clean & tidy, good service, polite staff. A vegetarian option for me - and the sausages were delicious...!

Must say a bit disappointed today . We’ve been here a few times before and always been happy.
