The Kitchen at London House in Isle of Wight

Went for late opening in Ventnor. Is was quite. Which is a bad sign in my book. Either the food is bad or it’s expensive. I found it to be both. The owner was very unhelpful and look down her nose at us. Not sure who she thinks she is. Not a nice woman at all

Quite simply the best roast I have ever tasted !! Bloody lovely 🤤 Apparently I haven’t used enough words so I will just add that the staff and owner were all lovely too. Made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble

The food was delicious, the coffee was the best I’ve had, the staff were amazing, highly recommend 😊6 of us ate , all food arrived at the same time.

First time of visiting and certainly won't be the last. This was by far the best roast dinner at any restaurant. Huge portions and so tasty. Staff were friendly and great, highly recommend.

We stumbled across this wonderful bistro when we stopped off in Ventnor for lunch on our way back to Fishbourne to catch the ferry home after a few days away for our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere is so warm & friendly, the staff made you feel so welcome. The food was utterly amazing, it was so fresh & tasted incredible, it blew us away! We finished off with coffee & cake for dessert, apart from the fact the cake was so delicious the coffee was the best we’ve ever tasted! This really was the icing on top of the cake with regards to our holiday & it rounded off a great trip to the Isle of Wight ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic home made ravioli with poached pears and goat’s cheese. Such friendly service and very good price. Really enjoyed our unplanned lunch. Thank you!

Food was excellent and the service from Luchiano was brilliant! Highly recommend this spot for breakfast, will be returning.

We had been wanting to come here for some time & we decided that today was the day, and boy, we were not disappointed! It was my myself, my wife & my Mum, it was around 13:00, there were a few people inside but not many. Having read the menu posted in the window my Mum wasn’t sure at first, my wife loves her fish so she was good to go, I had limited choices, but I was fine, others might struggle though, it’s geared very much towards fish. We went inside, it’s a very bright & airy place with wooden tables and chairs, very comfy though, green & beige paint is on the walls & the theme is definitely Italian. My wife & I had a large glass of white wine each, don’t ask for French wine, they don’t offer it, Italian only, my Mum had a large glass of Pims, which she loved, the wine was good too. We ordered From an albeit somewhat limited selection of menu options, thankfully breakfast is available all day, so I had that, my wife had the crab ravioli & my Mum the catch of the day which was pan fried Hake with Dauphinoise potatoes. My wife was in heaven & said it was one of the best things she’s eaten in a long time, she can’t wait to go back! My Mum loved her pan fried Hake, and my breakfast was very good as well. The front of house guy was great, entertaining, funny, a very good host! Even though it looked good, we didn’t stop for coffee & cake. We’ll definitely be making a trip back here, my wife will make sure of that! 9/10

Quirky place, very good service, very good food. Worth a visit if you are in Ventnor. On the high street, not far from the walk, drive, down to the esplanade.

Amazing breakfast and lovely hot drinks on a cold day. Also Great to see ‘all day breakfasts’ now being served, my husband’s favourite. Brilliant experience once again and A* service from the lovely waiter.

Lunched here with my friend on a cold winters day. The welcome was very warm and friendly and the chatter of our host waiter very humorous. Food was splendid with home made breads, traditional recipe soup and paired with fabulous wine if you ask. The menu is slightly French but not pretentious or overpriced . There’s the added bonus of duck eggs for breakfast til 3pm. I just wish I could visit more often so I could try more of the delicious food ❤️

Fabulous cooked food served with passion and professionalism. I finally got to try a Matt Muffin and was not disappointed in the taste and presentation. The rest of the menu looked fantastic and I’ll be back again to try it!

Saturday late morning brunch , very lovely food along with a cake and tea. Luciano was a great host along with Sally , our favourite eatery in Ventnor. Beautiful Victorian Building as well. 40 High Street Ventnor..

Fabulous lunch, lovely atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff. Even the coffees were smiling :) We will most definitely be back soon, 5*

We were only looking for coffee. Most places were closed or very disinterested in serving customers. The gentleman serving here was welcoming with a 'can do' attitude. He was prompt to take our orders and to bring our coffees and hot chocolates. We didn't want food, but noticed a full English breakfast delivered to and eaten with relish by a couple near us, while other patrons obviously enjoyed the light lunches or cakes that they were having, Our drinks were good and the waiter's positive attitude made the whole experience a good one. We would definitely return here again for a meal.

Les plats sont délicieux. Il est possible d’avoir des plats végétariens et de qualité. Les produits sont locaux et de bonnes qualités. Le service est très agréable et poli. Un grand merci pour ce bon moment ! Nous recommandons fortement cet endroit.

DO NOT MISS OUT! Eat in or takeaway - I have tried both and I thoroughly recommend it. This is a clean and friendly place to eat with a really sumptuous menu. You’ll want one of everything. They make amazing take out sandwiches too, with fillings to die for. Try the pulled pork or the salted beef. And the cakes! And the scones! The staff go out of their way to serve, they’re really fab people. This place is the jewel in the crown of Ventnor … and we don’t need to eat again for a week! Thank you!

Great Service and Food enjoyed by the whole group. Even did a special dish for my husband ho has had to go Gluten and Dairy free. Friendly staff. Never rushed us at any point and made it a very pleasant experience. Will be visiting again. Do give it a try, am sure you will not be disappointed

A warm, vibrant atmosphere to a well balanced breakfast. Matt produces a mix of the best ingredients, freshly prepared. London House Bistro is an asset to Ventnor.

I stumbled across this one as one of my favourites was closing for lunch so I tried my luck and enjoyed a very good ‘catch of the day’ plaice. Great food, reasonably priced.

Exceptional McMuffin Breakfast, just delicious and pipping hot mugs of tea. Service was excellent.

Called in today for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back if we visit the isle of wight again. Matt, Sally and the wee man from Milan made us feel so welcome. Best steak sandwich I've ever had

Staying in Ventnor we stopped in at the Bistro to to grab some sandwiches and cake before heading to Blackgang Chine for the day. The Bistro had been recommended by friends and looked great. And they didn’t disappoint! Service was extremely friendly and quick despite people queuing out the door! Great selection of salads, sandwiches, pastries and cakes. Everything was fresh, huge portions, prepared in house and great value for money. The staff were lovely, they even took the time to chat to my young son which was extremely kind. I would absolutely recommend visiting for a takeaway amor lunch and will definitely be visiting when we stay in Ventnor again!

Hands down the best Sunday roast on the Island. Unfortunately we'll have to wait until Autumn for our next one. Sally and all the team are fabulous. Keep sure you save space for pudding.

Just to say I popped in for pork pies and sausage rolls… both uteeeky delicious - best I’ve ever tasted!!!! Went back the day after for more and tried a London house pasty too - fantastic ! We were only visiting family for a couple of days but next time we’ll book in for lunch in the bistro

Had a lovley steak cooked delicious 😋 staff very friendly will definitely return again. All the meat was excellent quality . Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

We really enjoyed the smoothies and the food here. Baguettes tasted Fabulously fresh. My son has a coronation chicken which was really yummy and I had the beetroot goats cheese wrap, Daughter tuna mayo and My Husband really enjoyed a breakfast wrap. Very good value for the quality Highly recommended

One of the best bakery’s with generously filled baguettes. Staff are always very friendly. My go to place every time I visit the island.

The girl who served me couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Friendly, engaging and very professional. The food and drink was spot on she even had honey Tom put in my cappuccino instead of sugar. What a wonderfully refreshing experience it was. Highly recommended!...

First time coming and the food was outstanding highly recommend compliments to the chef Matt !! Service was very good! quick and attentive will definitely be back again and telling all my friends about this hidden gem too!

Visiting Ventnor for the morning & on the walk into town purchased some of the lovely looking cheese scones & sausage rolls which we were able to leave & collect on the way back to the car. Lunch menu next door looked delicious so after...

We were fortunate to book a table to sample the new autumn menu. A delightful range of flavors with the influence of French Cuisine, also mirrored in the decor. A comfortable relaxing atmosphere, with gentle Bistro music in the back ground. Friendly efficient, cheerful staff...

All I had was Broccoli & Stilton soup. But it was incredible, served with focaccia and soft fluffy butter. It’s a lovely place, the staff are friendly and engage with you. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Had my first breakfast today at this establishment and I can say it was worth the wait after all I’d heard, full of fresh quality ingredients especially the mushrooms ! and the staff were very attentive, it will become a Saturday favourite now !

Amazing coffee (hard to find in the UK) and a divine croque monsieur! Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Dog friendly too, loved the dog watching!

A huge improvement on what came before, the environment is great and well thought-out. Good to see the connection restored with the neighbouring property. Efficient service, and whilst not the widest selection in the world, what arrived was very well prepared, and tasty. Not a...

Wow! Flavours were amazing. Good quality, well cooked food. Local produce used and homemade bread as well. Couldn’t get any better

Fantastic food, fantastic people, fantastic atmosphere. The brunch is amazing, will definitely be going back for dinner.

We had the warmest of welcomes and great food here, particularly the full English breakfast. The staff were most attentive and we spent more time than we perhaps should have done with our waitress reminiscing our childhood days in Ventnor and Bonchurch! The food was...

Our second visit within a few weeks and can't recommend this lovely bistro enough. Superb food, great wines and fantastic staff. Great to have a menu that doesn't take an hour to read and to know that everything is freshly prepared. No "ping" food here,...

Had a fabulous visit with my 2 granddaughters. Fabulous cakes, hot chocolate & the service was amazing. The staff even offered my youngest granddaughter a high chair for 1 of her dolls. Priceless 😘 Can't wait to go again. Thank goodness we live local.

There was a huge group of us and they were really accommodating. The full English breakfast was outstanding - probably the best I’ve had in a long time. Coffee was great and dog was well looked after. Perhaps more flexibility for kids orders and menus...

Delicious coffee and the best cheese & onion pasty I’ve ever tasted (lovely light pastry). The window display is very tempting. We will be back.

A very friendly welcome and fantastic food. Having dropped in for coffee during the morning we returned for supper. The menu offers a good range of choice and the dishes chosen by our family were all delicious. Earlier in the day we purchased a couple...

Just had another first class lunch at The Kitchen. The Linguine was absolutely superb and the service was excellent, as usual. Everyone should visit The Kitchen - you won't be disapppointed, whatever you choose.

I stopped by for a late lunch and was so pleased that I did. Service was so friendly, the menu had a range of tasty options and service was prompt. Definitely the best bet in Ventnor for a quality lunch.

We had the most amazing breakfast here, having sampled the food at The Kitchen at London House we knew we were in for a treat, but it was even better than that. A duck egg (so much more depth and flavour), bacon that words can...

My husband and I visited and were really impressed by both the quality of the food and the friendly service. It is a warm and welcoming environment and We cannot recommend this place enough.

Great find in Ventnor. Lovely staff and really nice decor and ambience. But overall delicious coffee, the decaf is very special and possibly the best chocolate fudge brownie I’ve ever had! Well worth a visit

Lovely shop filled with lots of yummy cakes and pastries. The sausage roll was out of this world and best I have ever tasted, washed down with a perfect latte 10 out of 10.

On arrival greeted with lovely chilled surroundings, and friendly staff and even the chef came out to say hello. The coffees were great an so were the freshly squeezed orange. We ordered the full bistro English breakfast which was amazing with wild mushrooms farm house...

Read the reviews online and had to visit whilst on holiday and came twice!! Have to say the cheese scone was the best I've ever tasted - light, cheesy, big!! Husband said sausage roll was was best he'd tasted too. Cake selection changes daily and...

The Kitchen at London House is the highlight of the Island... if not the South of England. I have a unhealthy obsession with cheese scones, I have tried making them, i have probably eaten my body weight in them, but if you want scone nirvana...

Flying visit to the I.O.W today while on holiday. Came across this lovely place. Loads of choice and gave some great recommendations. I had the salted beef with cheese A* from me. Loved every mouthful.

Lovely soup and cheese scone, pasties lovely and fresh. Staff very friendly. Very convenient just opposite the car park.

Walked passed and saw the three cheese scones in the window and thought WOW they look amazing!After looking around the rest of the town we decided to go back there for a bite to eat and am glad we did.Food was amazing and service was spot on.

The cakes and muffins in the window drew us in when were in search of somewhere to have coffee and cake. Eyes were feasted on the summer berries sharing sponge, but proved to be too filling, so have half a cake to look forward to...
