Puckpool Tea Gardens in Isle of Wight

We have been visiting Puckpool Tea Gardens also known as The Old Barracks for many years. The current owners have put a lot of effort into appealing to the locals as well as tourists and they allow well behaved dogs into the café which for dog owners is a massive plus. We have never had a bad experience in all the years we have been customers and it is the owners and staff that make a real difference. They remember their regulars and make time to catch up if they are not busy. My mum used to like going in with my dad for a cuppa but sadly passed away recently. The lady owner asked after my mum as she hadn't seen her on our last few visits and was sad to hear our news. She asked if it was ok to speak to my dad and give our condolences which she did. On our walk back to the car my dad remarked how nice it was for her to notice and take the time to talk to him. It only took a few minutes out of her time but it made a huge difference to my dad.

We were peckish and originally planned to eat a burger. We changed our minds and opted for baps as they were less expensive for a snack. We weren't expecting much for £4 but OMG!!! The quality was astounding! The best sausage and bacon baps we've ever had out. Hands down. We had to tell the proprietors who were passionate about their goid which was wonderful to hear especially in our current financial climate in general. Keep up the good work and thank you 😊

Good value drinks and food. It is a dog friendly tea garden but unfortunately owners allow their dogs on the chairs and on the tables. We left with our clothes covered in dog hairs. We won't be returning

My grandson had his first birthday party on Saturday and the venue was perfect. The hard working staff were helpful and provided a great selection of pizzas for our guests. There were lots of playthings and the trampoline was a bonus. We couldn’t be happier so Thankyou all very much!

Great place for brunch- excellent homemade soup, squash with a hint of chilli plus sandwich and chips. Great value, friendly staff and speedy service.

Things have definitely improved since many of these reviews and the photos! Cafe is lovely, very well priced, good sized portions. Nice space outside and inside. Staff friendly. We played mini golf and the golf course could do with a bit of maintenance but it was fun and we all enjoyed it.

Great menu, very reasonable prices and comfy seating. Thanks for a tasty breakfast ; perfect stop on route to ferry at any time of day. Also excited that summer outdoor cinema screenings happen in the park, with the cafe on hand serving food and drinks. The whole site is a fantastic asset to this delightful part of the island.

Stopped whilst out for a walk. It was reallyhot out so sat inside. Bad idea as it was hotter inside than out. To add to that, it needs a really good clean. Cobwebs, spiders, grease and goodness knows what else. Staff not overly friendly, but not rude. We had breakfast pizzas. They took ages to be made, which is understandable when made from fresh, but they came out burnt ... very burnt! They were tasteless and too hard to eat in places. Won't bother again.

Great place for an icecream / refreshment stop whilst at the park / beach. Nice gardens, friendly staff and some outdoor toys for our 13m old.

Staff is unenthusiastic and rude, food is extortionately priced, £7 for a tiny tray of cheesy mid af chips!!! Bloomin jokes mate Waiting time was longgg too

Came here with some friends while we were on a walk, we all had burgers and they were all so good!! The young lad that served us was very nice and friendly. We were all pleasantly surprised, definitely recommend.

Stopped for lunch today after walking our dog As usual it was excellent Winter special...soup, chips and sandwich or bap. Fantastic value for money and really nicely presented Well done to the friendly team

Nothing fancy, but sometimes 'junk' food is all you want. We had sausage and bacon baguettes, coffee and I was able to get a lager. The best things about this are the view overlooking the bay, value and friendly service

Called in here for pizza tea on a sunny day. Feel for this business having to deal with over zealous and deranged covid inspectors on the island who say you can get Covid by drinking alcohol on the front garden so our family had to walk through the indoor bit to get to the back. The pizza was fine though never relaxing when you have the kids in tow!

Visited today. Ordered some pancakes to be told 10 minutes later they had run out and the coffee served was only just warm. The full breakfast was served with stone cold beans and some of the orders didn't turn up and twice we had to ask where the food was and it arrived some 45 minutes later!!

Best advice I can give is to stop selling coffee. What we had today today was very thin, a bit like filtered coffee although I know it wasn’t. Now served in paper cups . This cafe has really gone down the pan. We have been here on numerous occasions over the years but never again. We threw our coffee in the bin and walked up the road to the Shack where we had a proper coffee.

I’ve visited here a lot In the past and I am flabbergasted of how down hill this cafe has gone. It is I n a great location but it is just ruined by the lack of cooperation from the “children” running this. The first thing that was out of order was the 2 hour wait. Their was hardly anyone there. It’s a joke !! I was in the queue waiting and 2 lads came to bring their food back one was raw and one was cremated. I just don’t understand how that’s possible. Furthermore if I wanted stellas with the fellows I had to go in THEIR back garden just to have a pint. Just can’t a bloke just enjoy the sun. And if you think I’m going to contribute to their monthly salaries by buying one of their mint choc chip cornettos you must be having a laugh. In conclusion I would definitely not recommend this monstrosity of a cafe their is much better cafes near by. Don’t come here! ABSOLUTELY APPLAULING

Nice spot off the beach with nice garden.There was quite a queue but fair enough sunny bank holiday. After queueing for 15 mins I made it inside. Another 10 mins and I move on. Then I see the sign - no pizzas. Ok so I call the family sat outside and burgers all round agreed.So after another 10 mins I reach the counter and upon ordering am told “sorry no burgers” this was at 1 pmYes of course things can run out but myself and several other potential customers were very disappointed to have queued for neary 30 mins only to find there was little to order,.IF YOU RUN OUT OS SOMETHING PLEASE FIND THE TIME TO PUT A NOTE ON THE MENU BOARD OUTSIDE - QUEUEING FOR AGES ONLY TO FIND MOST THINGS ARE UNAVAILABLE IS NOT THE BEST RECIPE WHEN YOU HAVE HUNGRY KIDSMOST UNPROFFESSIONAL AND AS A NEW IOW RESIDENT VERY DISSAPOINTING

This is an unpretentious family friendly place with plenty of outdoor seating on the attractive lawn opposite in a sheltered and sunny spot.We ordered two small stone-baked pizzas - crab and tarragon and the other topped with Isle of Wight blue chees, walnut and honey which was a truly inspired topping. Both were really delicious. The bill for the pizzas, 3 cappuccinos, and a sparkling water came to £24, which I thought was very reasonable for good quality food.

Given the trauma the hospitality sector has suffered, you'd have thought this establishment would have made some effort upon our return to indoor eating. Parts of meals missing, deep fried to within an inch of it's life, cold chips. Avoid this place if you can.

My husband and I live in Ryde. My husband has been enjoying a weeks holiday from work. Today being his last day of his holiday we wanted to enjoy lunch together as we dont know when we will get a chance again for a while. We both said it would be nice to come to puck pool and sit in the garden with a sandwich/baguette and a cup if coffee. Something we have always enjoyed here. We got in side and had a look at the menu. There was no sign of sandwiches but I thought perhaps they had another menu for these so I asked them if they did sandwiches. I was bluntly told no. At this point we had lost interest. As we were leaving a girl quickly said that they could make a sandwich but there was only three choices of filling. My husband didnt want to stay because as he said you cannot say no one minute and then say oh we can make a sandwich. How hard is it to make a sandwich and yet they made such a big deal out of it. Looking at their menu there was nothing on it for just a small lunch. Mucked about food nothing straight forward.

There’s not much good to say about this place... it is a building steeped in history, once being an army barracks before becoming a tea rooms in the 1920s and then back to an army building to protect the country during world war 2. The building has really been let go! I’m sure it looked better whilst there were soldiers living there!! The building deserves so much better. The staff are very slap dash, they don’t have a clue what they are doing and they get so much wrong. The hygiene isn’t very good, there’s flies everywhere and the staff have long hair which goes everywhere. We had a bacon bap and tea which was okay but nothing to write home about (link to the war there) personally I don’t think I will be back again unfortunately as it has a lovely setting and could be amazing! I wish I had the money to take it on and restore it to its former glory! I dread to think what those 1920’s families would think if they walked in today.

We went for a late lunch as the deal was in on the Wednesday. We had lovely big juicy homemade burgers. The best I think I've had for a very long time. So pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality of the meat and cooking too. Both meat and chicken ones as good as the other. Highly recommend

Ate at the Old Barracks cafe in Puckpool park yesterday. The choice of pizzas was very large and there was several burgers on the menu, there is also a children's menu and lots of extras, such as chips, onion rings and home made coleslaw. My young son wanted a Hawaian pizza, which wasn't on the menu but the waiter checked with the chef and they made one. I had a IOW blue cheese, honey and walnut pizza, which was delicious. My husband had a bacon beef burger and Cajun fries and said how delicious it was. We ate inside but there are 2 gardens with plenty of outside seating. There is a good playpark , which my kids loved with play equipment from toddlers upto tweenies, a tennis court and a mini golf, all next to the Barracks cafe. If you are in Seaview, pop into Puckpool park and try out the Old Barracks cafe!

We have been coming here on holiday for a few years, and we always pop in for food/meal, we have never been disappointed the food is always hot and lovely just about a 10/15 min wait. See you next year.

Visited the cafe today and really enjoyed the food and excellent service. Pizzas were lovely and I've creams were really tasty and fab generous portions. Most important was that staff were really welcoming and even though we stayed for several hours (we were waiting for a ferry departure), we didn't feel rushed and they were always friendly. We also visited earlier in our holiday and enjoyed some great old-school crazy golf and petanque (the petanque is free if you ask!). We will return again without a doubt!

No allergy guide, and very poor hygiene and service, avoid! As a family with children; 2 have severe allergies we were upset to not be able to buy ice creams due to lazy and backwards approach to allergies, having then noticed the hygiene approaches (or lack of) we were glad we didn’t!We found the lady ‘Marlene’ (well that’s what the receipt said you name was) who served us rude and offensive. She made my children cry, how crap to be told you can’t have an ice cream because...... ‘we’ve just had a delivery of candy floss and haven’t updated it’ we weren’t even asking about the candy floss, so no idea what that had to do with it. Insensitive and inconsiderate, you could have at least apologised and been helpful, instead you discriminated against my children and made them feel like freaks.Seeing as 10% of the U.K. population have allergies you’d of thought that it would make commercial sense to ensure you have an up-to date and readily accessible allergy guide - after all the food standards agency make it a legal obligation and have free easy to download and use resources on their websites.

I visit here a lot, very high quality ice cream and warming hot chocolates. It has an outdoor and indoor area in a very wide space. Very nice atmosphere, would recommend to anyone.

Really lovely place. This is our second visit in 3 days. Had a bacon and egg gap and a pot of tea for 2 in the garden. Great value. We are now back to watch the free outdoor movie on D Day Anniversary. Saving Private Ryan. We have ordered our meal and we are sitting in the garden drinking our wine. Very happy.

have been regularly for years with family and friends its trying to become a bit more upmarket with an evening menu and cocktails on sunday unfortunately it has lost its charm through raised prices young inexperienced staff and a surly manageress

This cafe is improving week by week. The renovations are very good and it now rates very highly on our list of places to have coffee, lunch etc. Dog friendly too.

Lovely place reminiscent of the good ol’ days. Lovely food and helpful staff. Went twice in the weeks holiday. Will visit there again next hols.

Pulled in here as we fancied a coffee,the good part,decent coffee at a fair price,nice polite staff but now comes the nitty gritty we felt like we had entered a bad day at Battersea dogs home,full of dogs with their owners,unwiped tables,crumbs over the floor,the soft furniture smelt of dogs,dogs kicking off....don`t know about the food but a couple of teenage lads left half a plate of chips each so that says it all i guess...

If you don't want to risk infection from the hoards of smelly canines, then definitely give this place a miss. Obviously a venue for elderly dog walkers to discuss the latest Daily Mail headines while their pooches lift their legs on the furniture. I can't believe this place passes inspection - AVOID !

An ideal spot (whatever the weather) in which to relax and eat. Close to the beach and with plenty of parking. Enjoyed spending time here, first with a lovely hot chocolate, and later with a delicious broccoli and Stilton soup. All sensibly priced. The cosy sofas and armchairs, the provision of outdoor seating, plus the spotless WC make this a very welcoming place.

After a very enjoyable walk around the gardens and beach which also houses old army defence tunnels it was lovely to sit in very comfy chairs and enjoy good cakes and tea.

As always, a great experience. Lovely teas and coffees. Well priced and served by cheery staff. Gardens are lovely, and we love the crazy golf.

We really loved this experience and went twice during the summer. The first time we just had drinks but the second time (which was less busy) we had some food. I had a chicken pizza and the people I went with had a chicken burger and chips and an ordinary burger and chips. The service was quick and the food nice and hot and tasty too. Would definitely do it again.

Not very nice I had a breakfast the other day the bacon did not taste nice & it was swimming in grease

We called in here twice within a few hours one day, we were on a walk from Ryde to Sea view &back.Visit; one we had a pot of tea & shortbread,visit two on our return from Seaview we had cold iced sparkling water very welcome on a hot day.Its a good place to sit outside , the staff were nice & friendly.

On our first day on the IOW we stopped here for breakfast. Both of us had scrambled eggs on toast and one coffee and a pot of tea. We thought the cost was reasonable and well cooked. The gardens are lovely and very relaxing. We always make a point of stopping at the café when we visit and have never been disappointed.

We stumbled upon the tea gardens on our first day on the island. "Tea garden" suggests homemade cakes and loose leaf tea to me, but this was not the case. We were hungry and didn't have time to look for another place to eat so decided to get some food to take away. We had 2 adult sausage and chips and one child portion, 2 drinks and this came to just over £20! We sat to eat in the park but it was so bad we didn't finish it, chips tasted like old oil and the sausage was the cheapest you could buy. On the plus side the service was quick and the lady who served us was lovely. Maybe the other food on offer is better judging by the reviews but our meal was the worst we have had in years and the price extortionate.

By a long way this was the best pizza I have eaten for many many years. Service was excellent and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Well worth a visit

Stopped here for lunch and it wasnt to busy which was nice. Plenty of comfy seating and large tables and menu was available at the counter.

We visited while playing at the park with the children and were delighted by friendly service and great quality food, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, soup etc and great cofffee.

Great coffee but sadly our experience was spoiled by the dogs. There were 4 in the small cafe, one of which made a great deal of noise. If you must allow them inside at least limit how many.

Still open on the middle of winter, a good place to eat and drink even out of season. The staff are always nice and keen to please

Really good coffee, good beer, good burgers & good variety of flavoured ice-cream. Does what it says really. Gets really busy but the service is pretty sorted so you don't wait long

My wife and I walked from Appley to Hersey nature reserve and back half way is this coffee shop, We were served by a nice smiley young lady who recommended chilli and jacket baked potatoe for myself and a macoroni cheese for my wife. The food was warm and delicious, great service, great food and warm and comfy. What else do you want? Will use this coffee shop more often.

Very nice for a cuppa and cake, friendly staff too. Good placebto stop on a walk for a break. Nice and warm inside in the winter too.

Good quality food and a nice place to stop after a walk along the seafront. The only negative is the council parking charge.

After waiting for almost 50mins for my portions of chips from this restaurant at a cost of £2.50 each,this is what i got 👇👇👇. Staff said its e standard measure for portions.

We only wanted pizza. Excellent choices for veggies - not just a margarita! Chips good too. Other food coming out looked good too. Pricey for a cafe (in my opinion - pizzas priced like Dominos) but nice to find somewhere open late enough to feed...

Sólo tienes que probar una de estas hamburguesas que están llenos de sabor y deliciosos. El cangrejo bembridge también es precioso y muy fresco. Mucha variedad en el menú. Ronda su comida con una maravillosa selección de helados.

Un salto en la Oportunidad y disfrutamos de una comida estupenda en este acogedor restaurante, el perrito. Después de un cansado mañana llamamos aquí algunos aperitivos y huevos revueltos huevos pizza y hamburguesas. El personal era muy amable y nada era demasiado problema. Todas sus...

La casa de carne hamburguesas son excelentes. Me hubiera gustado que tuvieran hamburguesas vegetarianas (no picante). Me encanta el pizzas. Personal muy amable y trabaja duro. Me encanta el Rainbow Whippys! Genial.

Normalmente, la comida está bastante bien aquí. Últimamente estoy un poco indeciso. Es una pena, porque la pizza parecía que iba a ser increíble. Olía bien, pero sabía muy poco? ¿Cómo ocurre? Los panecillos no están bien. Tocino o salchichas. No mantequilla y salchichas secas y barato todo. Bacon no todo parecía anémicos agradable y crujiente, como cabría esperar. Creo que el amor ha desaparecido o quizás el chef viejo?

Brilliant cafe in the heart of puckpool tea gardens, excited to return when the suns out, topping it off with a bit of crazy golf!

During our 4 nights in the Isle of Wight, we visited here twice, on this occasion, and have been a few times before. Well positioned for the walk along the esplanade from Ryde, and around the corner from Seaview. In the past we have sat outside, but as there was a cool breeze we were allowed inside with the dog, which was good. We ate our beans on toast, with dogs dotted around the place, and babies being attended to. Nice friendly family atmosphere, and lovely smiley girl taking the order. All very pleasant.

We wandered through the park to the wonderful Puckpool Cafe right on the beach. We had a yummy brunch of scrambled egg & crispy bacon on a (very generous!) slice of toasted soda bread. Huge mugs of hot chocolate & a stroll on the prom before we got on the ferry back to reality...a great light, airy cafe with a log burner for the colder days and smiley staff to take your order! Great dog watching if you have had to leave yours at home for the weekend - or bring yours along pooches were welcome!

We are regulars to this cafe in the park. Quite shabby inside but this doesn't deter us because it's not precious it's therefore dog friendly with free doggie biscuits and comfy sofas. Coffee is good and I have the veggie breakfast or poached egg on toast. They do very nice wood fired pizzas. They also host the nightmarish Park of the Dead which is brilliant and last summer we went to their open air cinema which was a wonderful event.

We are a trike club based on the island we meet there every Wednesday evening for a chat and a bite to eat i can say i have never had a bad meal here its cooked fresh and the staff are all very happy and friendly and nothing is to much trouble.

We visited today, ordered coffee which was good, Staff were friendly but we should of quit while we were ahead,as we then decided to ordered food which seemed to take an eternity to arrive even though the cafe was half empty. My large breakfast resembled a kiddies meal and the toast had been cremated with one tiny block of butter. . Which took me longer to eat as it was so dry. I even think the waitress was embarrassed when she put my food down in front of me. Considering the large breakfast cost £6.75 and didn't have one redeeming feature to it, which drove me go write this review.2 stars for coffee no stars for the food.

Only found the place earlier this year on a visit to the Island, as we stayed at Seaview, but never had time to stop off at there. So as we are now back on the Island and staying near by we stopped off and had some Isle of Wight Ice Cream. The staff were frendly, we sat outside to make the most of the lovely September sunshine and the staff were out clearing the tables quickly, the young lad was very frendly as well. We will be back and perhaps have a meal next time.

This is a reasonably priced café, serving fresh food. Much better value than nearby cafes. There is plenty of space to sit outside, with tables at the front and rear of the café.

Scorching hot day. Perfect location. Great service by smiling young staff. Incredible home made burger and cajun chips. The most delicious cheese scones I've tasted. Bit dated inside but part of its charm. Can't wait to return and try the pizza.Thank you.

I have visited here on many occasions and have come to get to know the staff and they even have my drinks ready before I have to ask (Emily and Zoe) the food is amazing and could not fault it in any way! The staff work extremely hard to keep all the customers happy and to serve everyone as quickly as possible but are still very polite and happy! I have never seen the girls standing around they are always busy, cleaning or chatting to customers making people feel welcome! Would highly recommend for an afternoon tea or an evening meal! One of my favourite places to go on the island!

Absolutely delicious beef burgers served with salad and fries and a pint of Bombadier ale. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere makes this a great eatery for these balmy summer evenings. Would highly recommend the 'Aztec' menu. Excellent service , menu and prices.

The staff are all young, hair worn down, wearing nail varnish etc etc. The Ritz it is not but it has a certain charm and the girls are very pleasant and friendly. It was okay for a quick cuppa but I don't think it is the cleanest of places.

We were on holiday and always visit Puckpool and Seaview as we are huge fans of the park especially. Strangely though even though we have visited IOW a few times and Puckpool Park loads of times we had never eaten in the tea rooms. Well what a mistake! We went twice during our holiday as it was so nice the first time. I had a stone baked pizza with goats cheese and pesto which was just amazing, hot fresh and home made. My oldest daughter also had a pizza and she really enjoyed it. The others had jam sandwiches. You never see that on a cafe menu and it was a very cheap welcomed choice for us as we usually fork out £50-£70 on a meal out for six of us. Hubby had a steak and chips which was very tasty. The puddings were the best bit! They have an ice cream counter so most of the kids filled their boots with that! They have homemade cakes in their display chiller, different things the two times we went. I had a scone with jam and cream, hubby had a millionaires shortbread and my oldest lad (8) had a slice of iced Victoria sponge and he practically licked the plate! Very friendly, helpful waitresses, quick service, highly recommended.

Rarely prompted to review food establishments unless their very good the dire quality of the food served here in hand with cleanliness & apparent untrained serving & cooking staff demands an urgent response. Management should take note & live in fear of a visit from local health & safely inspection..Strangely promoted as the Park Of the Dead one enters this dark foreboding place at your peril, walls plastered with weird pictures & photos with a death them. A TV plays a irritating short loop of some idiots holiday videos........Strangely you can get married here, but why would you want to. Dogs allowed everywhere roaming around and barking eating dropped food off the floor, dog bowls provided at various points in the café. Tables & cutlery dirty as was the floor which was covered in previous customers, food, we imagine through disgust by other patrons. A damp musty smell pervades the whole area. Various chairs & settees scattered around the café that truly looked life they had been salvaged from the local tip.The food, well best not dwell on that, suffice to say what appeared was sent back & a fresh alternative offered, no thank you for fear of our wellbeing.Best avoided at all costs.

Really struggled to find anywhere to play tennis and then we found Puckpool!Great historical place as well and has superb ice cream!!

The children in our family really loved this park and we cycled from Seaview to get there. The café/restaurant had scaffolding around the building, which was unfortunate, however the takeaway pizza was really good.

Love this place, pizzas are fab, and plenty of other tasty choices on the menu, prices are reasonable and garden is great to relax in! Also love the crazy golf

Superb pizzas, and the staff go the extra mile to make sure you're satisfied. Highly recommended. Also, lovely place to sit on the grass area opposite. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent cafe with a very vast collection of products.Nice menu, a menu for everyone.Great coffees and also licensed.Nice ice creams and good range of gifts.

Went with my family and a friend to The Fawlty Towers Dining Experience here and what a hoot! Well donefor taking the trouble to organise a fun and unique evening in Winter to cheer us all up. We had a great time over a wide range age group.The 3 course meal under such chaotic conditions around the actors was really very good and plentiful...don't know how you managed it, WELL DONE!I wish other food establishments would go that extra mile to entertain us especially in these dreary dark, wet Winter nights.You truely deserve 5**** :-)

Wonderful place to sit and have anything from an ice cream to a full meal. Set in Puckpool park it is perfect for families or dog walkers who just want a cup of tea

fantastic location and great value big pot of tea with views of a lovely sandy beach and the whole of the solent ,portsmouth etc

this is ideally suited for boating pool and beach a good family resturant but a little pricy for me .

Lovely great value café with comfortable sofas. Had a fresh cream tea with a homemade scone, highly recommended. No Wi-Fi though.

We pulled in to take a look at Puckpool Park and found the great tea rooms just by the entrance. Good selection of tea, drinkable coffee and cakes with options for light lunch, snacks and endless flavours of ice cream. Nice seating area to the back or in the extensive seating opposite. And a fun park to enjoy as well.

I popped in to Puckpool Tea Gardens to by some drinks and snacks with my children. Sadly the children wouldn't come in. The Park of the Dead photos around the cafe scared them too much. The staff were friendly and the snacks were well priced, but I won't be going back with my children.

Visited whilst on a recent holiday after reading the reviews on here. Nice location but I personally dont get the rave reviews?.Went at lunchtime on a saturday and admittidly it was fairly busy.Lenghty queue inside and no menu to look at which meant you had to queue and look at the only spare menu at the till meaning you couldnt really make a decent informed choice as you felt rushed.My daughter wanted a kids meal so i opted for a cheese sandwich for her. £2.50 for cheese and bread. No drink and no crisps or fruit included so by the time you added these on it came to a fairly pricey kids option.I ordered a hot dog and chips and my wife had a 'posh' fish finger sandwich.Some 40 minutes later my hot dog arrived minus the chips served lukewarm in a bowl a further 15 minutes later.My wifes fish finger sarnie took about an hour so she sat and ate on her own as we had finished our meals way before.The bill was around £20 by the time you added coffees and in my opinion was not great value for money.Nice outside area and park nearby so i have given an average rating based on its location. Perhaps i just made bad food choices due to being rushed at the till area so would perhaps give it another go.Get some more menus printed!!!!!!

We visited this tea room twice during our recent holidayThe first visit was a just arrived , just off the ferry excuse for a all day breakfast, Amazing, lovely breakfast was had by all, My husband who has a wheat allergy had a great, rather large chilli jacket potato which looked amazing!really friendly helpful staff who helped us withdirection to our holiday park!On our last day this was our first choice for a afternoon tea. I had a very tasty cream tea and some nuts which i loved!Would recommment this tea room, very family friendly!!

These tea rooms were within walking distance of our holiday cottage and we ended up visiting three times. There was plenty of indoor seating but also plenty of tables outside for when the sun came out. The menu was very good, ranging from sandwiches to pies to burgers to pizzas and even a range of cakes for afters. The staff on all occasions were friendly and the food was always served quickly and never disappointed.

Lovely little gardens with a nice little tea shop, children's playground with ample parking and a short walk to a lovely beach and sea front. Definitely worth a visit....

Puckpool Park is a beautiful little park with crazy golf, an excellent playground, and tennis courts. The cafe is really nice and overlooks the park. Good cup of coffee too.

We had lunch here, when the weather was good, which enabled us to sit outside in the pleasant gardens. It is set in a historic building and there are many photos inside of the location in days gone by. There is a good choice on the menu, prices are very reasonable and the food we had was very nice.There is disabled parking close by and easy access to the cafe and outside seating area.

Good choices on menu.Friendly staff.Opening hours more accommodating, if you have been out all day.

Chose this venue for a surprise Diamond Wedding Anniversary, The staff we so very helpful, nothing too much trouble and excellent value for money. The cafe was warm and comfortable, plenty of parking and easy access. We had a buffet, all the food was freshing made and topped up as we ate. The owner went out of his way to make the occasion very special. Whatever we suggested the response was " we can do that". Well done and thank you Puckpool Tea Gardens.

I always enjoy a latte and scone here and although I am not a dog owner, I do not mind that many owners have their dogs with them.The furniture is a strange eclectic mix, but there are very interesting historical photos of Puckpool Park around the walls. Whilst many Island cafes close for the winter, this one braves it out well beyond the summer season. In fact, later in the year, the cafe hosts its own "Park of the Dead" zombie-fest.

This is the place to go for the kids to let off some steam while you watch them with a cuppa and chat to a friend. Obviously if they're tots you'll need to accompany them as the play area is outside and not an indoor floor cushioned one. The cafes food has improved over the last year or so and it caters well for all age groups. It has plenty of tables inside and you can sit outside by the play area. There are toilets right next to the play area and lots of grassy banks and spaces to run around with the kids or walk through to the seaside a few minutes through the park. A great family place to go and good as a mums and children meet up point.

Love coming here! Specially the food is very good quality and the pizzas are amazing! The staff are very polite and always happy!

Breakfasts are excellent and good value. Coffee was wonderful. Outdoor seating is charming.Free parking on site.

Crazy golf, near the beach, pitch and putt, tennis, play park and open spaces. Love it!Good restaurant, well priced clean and old fashioned.Lovely walk to Ryde from here. Good for scooting and cycling.

This is a much-loved friendly cafe located in the Puckpool Battery. The pizzas are pretty good and there's homemade cakes daily. There's a great kids park, tennis and miniature golf course near by so it's a great family destination. At the moment it's free to park there :)

Ended up here by accident. Had planned to eat a 'Big Kahuna Burger', but as usual, they seemed to have shut early.Walked down to the Dell cafe, and that was doing ONLY Tapas in the evening. Poor.So, ended up at the Puckpool cafe. Wow.The kids had kids meals, with chips (£3 for chicken strips, sausage, fish finger etc). The wife and I shared a small cheese burger/chips and a medium pizza.The burger was served in one of the best rolls we've ever had. The meat was tasty, and obviously of very high quality.The pizza was amazing. Simply great. Lovely thin, homemade pizza. we opted for the BBQ chicken. Loads of chicken, and nicely seasoned with herbs.Will be going again before the end of our holiday!As someone else wrote, a hidden gem!

Not your usual park cafe. You will find pizzas along with the burgers. Beers next to the soft drinks. In the evening there is entertainment. Food is cooked to perfection. There is a good choice of meals for adults and children alike. Prices are fair. A great place to be either in summer or winter.

Amazing homemade pizza, lots of other choice too. Freshly made, lovely inside/outside eating area to enjoy it in. Happy staff in a great location.
