Went to see a play in the Minghella auditorium. Nice, intimate space and wholly appropriate for the production. Very pleasant café and staff. Will keep an eye on the website for future productions.

My partner and I visited the cafe during what was a quiet period with few tables being occupied. We ordered a cup of tea, a coffee, and a slice of shortbread. It took 23 minutes to arrive at our table. The Earl Grey tea was tasteless as the medium sized teapot was full with water and only one teabag. During the wait, the staff stood behind the counter talking among themselves and not actually working, and this contributed to the delay in our order being brought to our table. I will not be returning to Quay Arts cafe due to the abysmal service, and the unacceptable length of time for our order to arrive.

We went here for a special event. We ended up having breakfast here too. The breakfast was really fantastic. Staff were friendly. Tables inside and out by the quay. There is a car park opposite. There is a step to get in the entrance into the shop but if you go round to the quay side you can go directly into the cafe with flat wheelchair accessible entrance. There is a lift up to the upper floor but it's only for those who need it really. There are toilets including disabled next to the cafe. There website is very good at telling you about accessibility.

Superb local multi arts centre. A real hidden gem with a spacious, welcoming coffee shop/cafe at street level, set amongst the wonderfully preserved surroundings of the original victorian quay side warehousing. The centre has a studio theatre for live shows/performance, multiple art galleries, individual workshop areas, a good sized, well stocked craft and related shop and a lovely quayside seating area for sunny days. Recommend a visit to all, even if it's just for a coffee and cake.

The venue is as bright and buzzy as ever, with a good feel. The food arrived promptly and was really tasty. Oddly, the "leek and potato" soup had very much the taste and appearance of mushroom - but luckily no harm done! It was a surprise to find the "white bread" I'd opted for was sliced "supermarket" style - I'm sure it used to be proper crusty bread once upon a time! The staff varied from morose to cheerful, so they kind-of cancelled each other out. A smile and a helpful approach certainly goes an awful long way - it makes things rather hard work otherwise!

Great music and entertainment last Sunday by Brass Volcanoes as part of the Isle of Wight Jazz Weekend. The theatre however was not fit for purpose. The tiered seating had less leg room than a budget airline, the ventilation system, (no air conditioning), could not cope with the heat gains from the audience, (approximately 140), and the lighting system. The only visible emergency exit sign, (from the audiences perspective), directed you to the main door that you entered by. Currently hospitals are seeing an increase in admissions in the aged population who are presenting with the latest strain of Covid. A well ventilated space and keeping your distance from others will reduce the possibility of catching Covid. I personally can now make an informed decision about attending future events in the theatre.

We had expensive sandwiches, £8:25 each, which were made with dull sliced white bread, and mine had very thinly sliced pressed ham. For that price we would expect good quality, crusty bread and baked ham. Need to raise your game, if you are going to charge premium prices.

We had our wedding here in April and it was amazing! Both Del and Shannon were amazing, as were all the staff on the day. The place was transformed, using the old style open brick work, really gave a lovely feel to the place. All of our guests said how wonderful it was and that the venue was ideal location for us. Would highly recommend this as a wedding venue.

A big thank you to the whole team at Quay Arts for providing us the perfect wedding venue. Our day was brilliantly organised and we didn't have to worry about anything. We were very lucky with the weather and so had the ceremony on the terrace. The food was fantastic, we had the hot supper buffet with a couple of ammendments as we had multiple vegan guests. I would definitely recommend Quay Arts if you are looking for a place with real character to get married.

Fancied a quick bite to eat and a member of staff was incredibly rude. The man at the bar with glasses and dark hair said in a rude tone that the kitchen is closing soon and we need to hurry if we want to order food. It was clear he did not want us to, even though it had not closed yet. I confirmed with him, if it isn’t closed yet can we still order now? He said yes but only if we know what we want, and he made it very clear he did not want us to order. We arrived and left all within the space of 2 minutes as we will not spend money somewhere that does not want it. Shocking customer service.

We got married at Quay Arts on 8th April and we had such a magical day thanks to the team. From the initial appointment to view the venue down to the day of the wedding, Del, Shannon and the team were all fantastic and nothing was too much trouble which was very helpful when we were stressed at points trying to work everything out! As for the day itself, it really was just perfect. The room looked great, the staff were so genuine and friendly and every single one of them deserve recognition because our guests have consistently commented on how well the day was put together, how smoothly it went and how lovely the team were. The food was provided by the venue and it was top quality, very tasty, and very well presented! Thanks again Del, Shannon and the team!

We chose Quay Arts as our wedding venue this Summer and it was absolutely everything we dreamed of and more. The staff were incredible, helping the day run smoothly so we could enjoy our big day together stress free. Del was great every step of the way, letting us know that we were free to have the day run just the way we wanted, and communicated with the vendors which made planning the wedding very easy on our side. The food was amazing and we had many compliments from our guests who had enjoyed both the meal and the buffet in the evening. Overall, just a wonderful experience for us and we're both so thankful to the whole team for making sure the day was special.

Attended the IW Tattoo Convention (02/10/22) Friendly staff. Foods and drinks were fairly priced. Fairly small venue, could have been set out a little bit better, as there was a lot crammed in one room, and not much in another room which had a lot of empty space. Unfortunately, the sinks in the women's toilets needed a good clean, they looked like they hadn't been properly done in a while.

While moored up for the weekend attending the Isle of Wight festival we popped in on the recommendation of our friends. We sat down and ordered our drinks and food, after around 10/15 mins the coffee and milkshake arrived. We then waited for the breakfast and baguette to arrive. the coffee was finished and milkshake was struggling to be dragged out any longer and still nothing. We had waited roughly 50 mins when we asked the waiter how long it would be, we were told 'it's on its way, the kitchen are busy'. another 10 min went by and the couple who had been seated near us just 10 mins before had their food served. At this point we spoke to the waitress and said unfortunately we (myself being 7 months pregnant) were not willing to wait any longer, it had been over an hour and the couple who had been there a very short time got their food straight away. She was very apologetic and understanding. offered the drinks f.o.c and couldn't have been nicer about it! in fact she deserves 5*s.

One of the best pub Sunday lunches we've had in several years. The meat was succulent - and if you can't choose beef or port you can have half and half. The potatoes were crunchily roasted with soft interior. The Yorkshire puddings seemed a step above most pub versions being neither greasy nor, like so many places, perfect roundels straight from a freezer. There wasn't much green veg but the kale - normally not something I like - was salty and well prepared. Great with the beautifully prepared red cabbage. Big shared portion of cauliflower cheese included too, and - on request - extra gravy and really tangy horseradish. Frankly not much to criticise here and the desserts were brilliant too. We had heard someone say that the change of ownership a week or so back had caused a drop in standards but it's hard to believe that it was ever much better than this. Highly recommended.
