Fox's Restaurant in Isle of Wight

A combination of a well cooked breakfast made with local ingredients, friendly staff and spotless dining area, has made this restaurant an inspired choice. It was pleasure having the order cooked how we wanted it. The free top up for the filter coffee was welcome. I intended taking a photograph of our breakfast, but was carried away by the taste!

Only one word to describe this cafe! EXCELLENT with both service and food being well above average, would highly recommend it, if you can get a table

Stopped here for lunch while exploring Bembridge and so happy we did! Nothing was too much trouble and they made a special effort with the kids. Had the scampi which was delicious, the kids had a tuna baguette and the egg and chips. Empty plates all round. Reasonable priced and a great atmosphere! Will try the breakfast next time!

We had breakfast here on the last day of our holiday. The owner was very helpful and considerate in meeting our toddlers dietary needs . Very friendly atmosphere and good was delicious. I would suggest you book .

Nothing is too much trouble, and Mark cooks each plate to perfection. As an aside, I struggled to swallow my medication with the cappuccino (why would I do that?!) ; Nicola saw this and gave me a glass of water. PS Great sausages Thank you Mark and Nicola.

We always look forward to a morning trip to Little Fox's for breakfast. We are always greeted by Nicola with a friendly smile and there is a great atmosphere with the locals. Mark always cooks up a storm and serves up a fantastic breakfast each time. Thanks again and see you soon.

A great little cafe, well loved by the locals. It’s right in the heart of Bembridge, is spotlessly clean and very welcoming. They have a good range of hot and cold food including breakfasts and also a lunchtime menu with daily specials. At lunchtime I chose the cooked breakfast and it was lovely, all freshly cooked and well-presented with a minimum of grease. My partner picked the cheese omelette with salad and that was also delightful.

Discovered this lovely cafe yesterday on a visit to Bembridge. Absolutely first class food and lovely friendly service. Started with a coffee and cheeky cake whilst waiting for my wife and ended up having breakfast. Will be a regular haunt.

Lovely place for lunch. Staff were very friendly and service great. Food was delicious, home cooked and piping hot. We will definitely return.

Spotted Little Fox`s when it was time for lunch. What a find! Spotlessly clean, welcoming and great value. The soup was piping hot (we were offered cream in it) and the bread was just right. Along with a big pot of tea or the two of us, we left very happy. The toilet facilities are excellent too. Very highly recommended.

Very friendly couple who run the business - the food is lovely and GREAT coffee - make sure you visit this cafe in a very pretty area

A gem of a place, spotlessly clean, great service, quality produce, lovely couple, shall be returning when we're next on IOW

Visited at lunchtime and had the all day breakfast. The quality of every item was excellent and served on hot plates. The tea and coffee were also first class. The cost was reasonable. We were served by a lovely lady who was so helpful, friendly and attentive. The place is so clean and bright. A truly great experience. The only downside for us is that we are visiting the area and cannot attend this lovely establishment regularly.

We were cycling round the island and stopped at this fantastic cafe. The lemon meringue drizzle cake is superb and the coffee was very good too. Highly recommended and nice staff too.

A perfectly competent little cafe in Bembridge village centre. Breakfast was freshly cooked from quality ingredients and represented fair value. A civilised family atmosphere. Recommended.

Mark and Nicola have made the place welcoming. Smaller but manageable for them. Menu and Special board most interesting, food as normal, excellent.

Friendly service. Very helpful with local knowledge and the freshly cooked food was of high quality and well prepared. It was a pleasure to eat here.

This continues to be our favourite eatery in Bembridge. Great atmosphere, lovely food , friendly owner , nothing too much trouble.

Excellent food and really well looked after by the staff. Could not fault at all. We also had some of the homemade chocolate cake which was delicious!

Popped in today after the revamp and found it to be really nice and we'll appointed and busy. Lovely breakfast and looked at the lunch menu which also looked really nice. Well done to the owners for making the changes and I am sure they will do well. Little tip BOOK IN ADVANCE.

It was evident that only top quality ingredients made up the excellent breakfasts at Little Foxes. The whole breakfast menu was sensibly priced and the free coffee and tea top ups made the visit very good value. Empty plates were evidence of how much we enjoyed the tasty breakfasts. A very pleasant lady served us and we were made to feel most welcome. Image of small traditional breakfast.

We have been visiting Little Fox's for a number of years, and the food is always fantastic. Little Fox's is dog friendly, and we sampled a delicious lunch and breakfast during our stay last week. Thanks for such great hospitality Nicola, and Mark for the fantastic food. See you next year. x

We visited Fox’s whilst on our family holiday to Bembridge. Although they don’t advertise a vegan breakfast they were so accommodating and adapted the vegetarian option for me and it was delicious! The ladies working their were really friendly and welcoming and the food was...

Food choice was fabulous and service so friendly. The option to sit in or out was great and all of our plates were left empty as the food was delicious

Went to Fox's Tuesday evening, and once again the food was very tasty. First time my sister gad been there with me and she was very impressed. Never had a bad meal there. Brilliant as usual. Thank you

Really like this restaurant. After 22 years Mark and Jane are easing into retirement by turning it into a breakfast and lunch only cafe. Need to get back for one last meal before that happens on 20th September.

We were a party of 8 and I must say we felt that we were a bit of a nuisance to the staff! The menu was very average, but ok and the food was well cooked. The waitress/owner definitely wasn’t a happy lady. However, we...

My family really enjoyed our meal here. The food was very tasty and fresh. I enjoyed a lovely grilled chicken in roasted garlic with crushed new potatoes and vegetables - it was delicious. My sons enjoyed their burgers and sausages from the kids menu -...

Son and I had dinner after cycling to Bembridge (from Winchester) - deliciously, fresh, nicely prepared sea food (as well as lots of other choices inc nice meat dishes), and friendly, attentive but relaxed service. Highly recommend.

We both had the Sunday Lunch! Was lovely thanks to the chefs who prepared and the front of house staff. Would recommend to all, good value for money and more importantly such quality food and well prepared - all fresh food, THANK YOU

Everything about Fox’s was PHENOMENAL, the food, the service, the atmosphere, the people…. Just PHENOMENAL…. Can’t wait to return

A fantastic place to eat an excellent variety on the menu above all staff were very accommodating as we did not book just turned up . The food was excellent well cooked home made great value for money above all the place is spotless. We...

My mother, wife and I always often enjoyed eating at Foxes. Good food, well prepared and cheerfully served piping hot. Generous portions too!

A really memorable meal. It tasted fresh and clean. Really good simple food cooked well. The vegetables were standout. A really delicious 5 star meal

Delicious food beautifully cooked .Friendly efficient service and prices very fair . The lamb special was absolutely superb as was the sirloin steak . Prices very fair

You won’t realise just how understated this restaurant is until you go in and try the food . From the moment we walked in the door the service was very friendly and perfectly timed. You could tell how fresh the ingredients were and the food...

Great restaurant good selection. The lady and young man were very attentive. Good menu fish and steak were enjoyed. Well presented. Must have a good chef.

We were toying with somewhere for lunch and a passer by suggested that we try Fox’s. We were pleased we did. The welcome was warm and the food was great. They were particularly accommodating for our small family and helped make us all feel happy...

We had a lovely Easter Sunday lunch at Fox’s today, and both the service and food was great! The staff are always so accommodating, friendly and helpful, and the food is fantastic. There’s always a good selection of food on the main menu and on...

Was served a beautiful Sole with fresh veg and potatoes. Would highly recommend. Wonderful staff and run very well. Thank you

Had an excellent breakfast on 13/04/2022 with my girlfriend, both ordered a full breakfast with toast and coffees. The size of the breakfast was perfect and the breakfast itself was delicious as were the drinks. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made sure that our...

This is a very nice restaurant to come in for dinner. The food tasted and looked really good. It is a well looked after establishment. The staff are friendly and professional. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again

Our final meal before the end of our family holiday in Bembridge. Very friendly staff and excellent service. We didn’t have starters but between us had fish cakes, goats cheese, plaice, sea bream, lamb and steak & ale pie. All was very tasty and everyone...

Lovely family restaurant. Fantastic service and amazing food. Lots of delicious specials to choose from and everything was served with lovely presentation and a smile from the friendly waitress. Also, dog Friendly. Highly recommend.

Outstanding, exceptional, superb are just a few superlatives which come to mind! From the very first email contact they were fantastic. The initial proposed menu looked so lovely I agreed it immediately and what a treat. Great food, beautifully presented and plenty of it. The...

Visited this evening for a family meal. Friendly staff and conducive environment. Good selection of food and drinks- rose Pinot was fabulous. Food was excellent, waiting for lemon meringue ice cream to arrive! Wishing we lived on the island so we could visit again.

What a wonderful little find, the owner and staff where very welcoming and attentive. Great food, but the dessert was my highlight. A biscoff cheesecake, omg, I was the happiest person on the planet. Our group of four all left with a full belly and...

We only stopped for coffee and teacake (or ice cream in someone's case!) and we were getting close to their lunch service. It should have been another place where we returned for a larger meal but it did not just work out. The menu looks...

The food takes a little longer than some other places but it is definitely worth the wait. Its cooked to order. Have been twice while on holiday and both times excellent food and service. Will be going again at next opportunity!

Although short staffed the breakfast was worth waiting for! Served by friendly people. Advise to book in advance as people being turned away.

We sat in the very pleasant garden at Fox's today for and outstanding lunch. The grilled plaice was exceptionally fresh and the deserts were excellent. Top marks for the service too.

Great find! We had a full English breakfast and this definitely won’t be our last visit! Our local house boat B&B serves continental brekkie and so has an arrangement with Foxes for anyone hankering after a fry up. We’ll be back for regular treats and...

Visited Fox's a few times during our stay at the beginning of September, super food, service, cleanliness. So very friendly, even let my son charge his phone while we were there. Excellent, thank you .....

Visited Foxes restaurant in August 2021. Brilliant service, very warm welcome, excellent menu and food.

We popped in for a coffee a couple of years ago and promised ourselves a meal the next time we visited the island as the food that was coming out looked good. We had Sunday lunch and it was lovely. They openly confessed to not...

Our booking was for 7.15pm and we were welcomed into the restaurant. The staff were quick to ask if we would like a drink and gave us adequate time to choose our meal. The interior of the restaurant was warm with nice fresh with tasteful...

Very nice, very friendly staff, very clean and inviting. Excellent food, best we have had on the island. Thank you.

Went for breakfast with the family and were blown away by the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff.

The food was great here, just the right size portion and the pricing was really good. We are two meat eaters and two veggies, a veggie sausage would have been great, definitely better than a hunk of avocado, but that was the only possible improvement....

Family of four all with different meals. Outstanding food, lovely service and the bill very reasonable. This is a must if you are in Bembridge.

Visited for breakfast with family. Reservation was for 1030 on a Saturday and was genuinely surprised that it wasn't busier. Lovely and clean, staff were fab and breakfast was delicious (see pic). Coffee was yummy too. Really glad that I did some research and found...

Speed of service was very slow and a bit more cheeriness wouldn’t go a miss, it made up for by quality of food and pleasant garden setting.

We had only just arrived in the island and were really lucky to find a parking spot just outside this place. What a lucky coincidence. After a walk on the beach with our dog we returned and saw this place was happy to allow dogs...

Very busy when we arrived but we were seated at our reserved table and given menus to browse. Excellent choice on the lunch menu and it arrived in prompt time. So delicious we forced down a beautiful dessert as well. Good service.

An unassuming looking little bistro from the outside, but don't be fooled by its low-key looks! The service was efficient, friendly and prompt and the food was outstanding. Whoever does the cooking at this restaurant really knows their stuff and we couldn't fault any part...

I was offered a garden table and the offer of the overhead heater if I was cold. The service was friendly but polished. The atmosphere radiating from the restaurant was full of chatter and harmony. in other words great. I ate the king prawn smoked...

Excellent ambience and food and charming and attentive service. Attentive to COVID restrictions. Parking on street.

We booked this restaurant before arriving in Bembridge for a week's holiday and we were not disappointed. One of several eateries in Bembridge, but it was an excellent choice. We had a small family group of six of us, ranging four generations ages 5 to...

Popped in for breakfast what a lovely place excellent food service value have booked for next Saturday dinner. How nice to find non corporate food for a change.

We came for breakfast 2 weeks ago on the last day of our holiday and we both had the English breakfast. It was so good. Everything on the plate was so tasty and it just tasted of good quality produce. It was well cooked and...

Lovely atmosphere - delightful service - we had the Goujons and the crab salad - both delicious - equally tasty desserts and a nice wine - excellent lunch

Rocked up as a walk in third day after lock down and it was as if there had not been a lock down. Full range of menu, specials and choice of indoor/outdoor, great. It was one of those occasions when you arrive thinking I'll have...

So happy our local restaurant is open again for inside dining. As always the food was excellent. Starters of Bembridge Ledge crab, prawns and smoked salmon was delicious as was the antipasti. The pork belly as a main was outstanding. Always a friendly welcome and...

We visited 15th October for lunch, very friendly welcome from the host. Place was well prepared for Covid and we felt very safe. Good menu and choices, we had a crab salad and the fresh catch of the day lemon sole. Both were very tasty...

Before we walked in I had hoped to eat a crab salad while here and the Fox didn't disappoint. A nice if expensive menu, but I suspect the prices are normal for hi efficient service and they are taking the Covid situation very seriously. It...

We had dinner here after cycling on the island for the day. The waitress was very helpful and service excellent. We were very disappointed with the food however. The sea bass was soggy and bland and the ‘crab risotto’ it was served on was more...

We booked a table for our first night in Bembridge and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. The host and owner was delightful ... friendly, helpful and good humour!!! We were shown to our table which had pretty fresh flowers and a candle. Our drinks...

We had a terrific Sunday lunch here. Everything was wonderful. Welcome. The exceptionally nice lady running front of house had been very helpful when we reserved ( we have a small dog and she found us a time when an outside table was available). On...

Family run, friendly, well run restaurant with locally sourced (when possible), freshlycooked English styled food. Generous meat/fish portions, freshly cooked al dente veg ( lI would like a few more) beautifully presented. We had plaice yesterday’s dinner traditional Sunday roast today. Gluten free catered for...

Welcoming atmosphere friendly service Excellent food flavours freshly cooked Thank you chef great menu choice of fresh fish

Spent a most enjoyable evening meal at this lovely restaurant ,warmly greeted superb food and would love to visit again. For the man who questioned the validity of the flowers, I can assure you they are real . If ever we are lucky enough to...

We visited this restaurant whilst on holiday in Bembridge. We didn't boom so no room at the Inn but we were made very welcome in the garden. Excellent bembridge crab and fish specials plus a very good wine list.

We visited Fox's one evening whilst on holiday nearby and really enjoyed it. It is run by a husband and wife team and Nicola was very friendly and helpful. We liked it so much that we returned another day for breakfast, which was also very good.

Really nice traditional breakfast and reasonably priced, very clean and tables are distanced well. Good fry up and good coffee and really nice staff. Only thing that gave it 4 and not 5 was the vegetarian offering was limited to ‘fry up’ with bacon and sausage missing. Veggie sausages included would give this place a 5! Definitely worth booking as it’s popular.

Absolutely lovely meal. Wish we’d discovered it before our last night as would have returned. Felt very covid safe as tables well spaced out nicely. Food was fantastic - especially desserts! Very nice friendly atmosphere. Staff were very sweet with our small children. Definitely worth a visit.

My family had a lovely evening here. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

Visited with our two boys whilst staying in Bembridge. The menu was enticing and varied. I enjoyed the lamb and so too our Camembert starter. My wife and the boys had the meze (not certain is was hugely authentic, but it was nice) chicken and leak pie and chicken breast with bacon. Deserts were nice too. It felt a little like we were in our dining room at home and the cooking smells were somewhat strong at times, so quite ‘homely’. Very nice people and quite reasonable. Could have done a bit more with some background music as unfortunately my wife’s ability to hear another diner criticise her for explaining from Wikipedia some of the IOW history was a little unfortunate.

A lovely meal with great service. We visited, pre booked with a mixed group of 12 people with a baby during covid. The owner explained that there may be a delay with our food due to reduced kitchen staff. Very friendly and knew the menu very well. I had the poached salmon which was amazing, there was also a crab salmon and prawn salad which looked immense. The restaurant was relaxed and comfortable with an outdoor seating area for warm evenings. We had a very good meal and the service couldn’t be faulted. Highly recommended and would definitely go back.

Hi,We dined there last night. My partner has been there before but it was my first visit.The place is well set out given the current Covid 19 situation.The staff are friendly, the service was very good and the food fantastic.We had three courses including a steak, a bottle of vine and a pint which came out as just under £75.We wouldn't hesitate to return.

We went for a Christmas Lunch on the last visit but have eaten at Fox's several times in the past year. Every meal has been a delight. The freshest vegetables, excellent quality meats and incredible service. Can't recommend one meal over another, they're all great.Fox's also make some of the best desserts, so if you're at the end of your meal and wondering 'Should I.........when the dessert menu arrives, give yourself a real treat and go for it.

I'm from the island, but recently moved back after years of living in London. Now, while I was a fan of Whitecross St's Market Cafe's Set Number 6 (known as my "usual"), it was pretty standard greasy spoon fare. The best bacon sandwich I ever found was the three-rasher doorstep number from the Blues cafe (now sadly no longer there) on West Smithfield. But none of that, nothing, compares to the full breakfast at Fox's. It's a hearty fry-up for sure, yet it's elegant too. The bacon is always cooked to perfection; the sausages are just enough, they don't overwhelm and there's something about the toast and/or perhaps the butter they use, or perhaps it's becuase it comes in a homely little wicker basket that makes me feel like I'm eating in a farmhouse on a meadow. It's always the just the right amount and sets me up for the day. Coupled with the welcoming staff and great service, this is the finest breakfast on the island. Come at me!

Well we had a party here sometime back but as there was a lot of us it was not top class and put it down to the large number of people ! Well we thought we would try lunch alas plastic flowers on tables drinks served in awful glasses,My starter was over cooked as well as my main also had to ask for water !! Portions very small,Special board so small you can hardly read it but on a brighter side the deserts were good ! The owners have been here a long time and I feel have lost that edge a great shame. Also the decor needs upgrading sorry my views !,

Went here with my uncle for lunch, we sat in the garden and I also had my dog with me who was very welcome. The staff incredibly helpful and polite, food absolutely delicious - happy to recommend for lunches and we have been back for their delicious and generous breakfasts.

We managed to get a table for 2 last thing on a Sunday lunchtime. My sister and I are vegetarians and didn't want a roast dinner but the owner was very accommodating and we had a delicious goats cheese salad. Friendly atmosphere and nice decor.

During a visit to the IoW we went to Fox’s for breakfast.... very diverse menu available, we went for the smaller full breakfast, egg, bacon, sausage, beans and tomato with a slice of toast, locally sourced and delicious. The restaurant itself is very welcoming and dogs were allowed too. The evening menu looks great too, well worth a visit if you’re staying in the island

Spent last week on the isle of Wight.

£7.50 for the large full English Breakfast and £5.50 for the small full was very good value. A big pot of fresh tea and a basket of toast included. Contrary to another review we found the service most friendly and efficient. We really didn't have to wait long for our breakfast platters to arrive. The food was nicely presented and very tasty. It is very close to the excellent wet fish shop, perfect for a break whilst waiting for the fish to be prepared. Reasonably easy to park close by if early enough. Opens at 9.30 for breakfast

Hadn’t been to Fox’s for some years, but we were delighted on our return. Great food, good ambience.

My 3 year old said they are the best sausages ever and thoroughly enjoyed them. Me and the wife really enjoyed the food as well. Gammon, egg and chips was delicious. Lovely well kept garden for the little people to run about on a beautiful day. Great start to our holiday. The manageress is particularly lovely and very welcoming.

These guys could help themselves by learning the first rule of service... never return to the kitchen empty handed.Ignore this and you have tables filled with dirty plays and you double up on your time and steps.Food nice, service terrible - staff in dreamland and unable to multi task.
