The Brasserie in Isle of Wight

Being a local I did not stay at the hotel but I thought I'd try the food as eating out in Newport is limited to say the least (unless you like pizza/pasta, there are at least 4 of these). I fancied traditional pub food which today is a scarce as all the pubs seem to be in the Gordon Ramsey mode, posh food, very little of it and expensive. The Wheatsheaf’s menu included real pub classics including Steak and Ale pie, Pork Belly, Steak and Chips, Lamb Shank to name a few. For starter’s I opted for the chilli prawns, a generous portion, cooked perfect and presented shell off which saves all that peeling and messy fingers! Starters are all priced at £5.00. I followed this with a perfectly cooked 8oz sirloin steak (med-rare) with lovely crispy chips and a blue cheese sauce accompanied by a nice crisp fresh salad, (which was not just a bowl of leaves like in most places). Although the chips were frozen they were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, perfect, I almost mistook them for the latest fad (3 times cooked chips). The chef must have a trick up his sleeve. The steak was cooked perfect. A field mushroom would have been a nice touch. Here's the good bit, all main dishes are only £10, if you fancy steak you do pay a £4.00 supplement which is fair. Even though I was stuffed I could not resist the homemade Rhubarb Crumble with cream. I managed to eat ¾ of it. Again, all the desserts were priced at £5.00. All I can say is although this pub has had a bad reputation for food in the past this is certainly not the case now, it’s really worth giving it a try.

Este lugar encantador centro de la ciudad presenta un menú sencillo brasserie que oculta la complejidad de la oferta de platos maravillosos. Entre los cuatro de nosotros pudimos probar más de la mitad de la carta y que no había nada que me decepcionó, sino todo lo contrario. De igual forma, la lista de vinos era igualmente con lo último de esos intentamos de calidad y ejemplos de su tipo. En general, es un lugar encantador para un regalo especial.

I was looking for somewhere special to take my wife on our anniversary and I found it at The Brasserie. The service ,the venue and especially the food was excellent.The price was high end but still good value.Definately going back.

Fui a la brasserie del trigos con dos de mis hermanas, tía y tío en un viaje a la isla. Fue la noche de la inauguración, pero nunca se han conocido. La comida era increíble, la habitación que anfitrión en es muy encantador y el servicio fue genial! Sin duda volveré en una futura visita a la isla!

Fuimos a la noche de la apertura del nuevo restaurante fino y fue increíble. La comida fue absolutamente deliciosa y el servicio fue increíble. La comida estaba cocinada a la perfección y tenía diferentes sabores y nos dejó una sensación de satisfacción.Recomiendo encarecidamente este es si estás de visita en la isla de Wight.
