The Lounge at Monkton Arts in Isle of Wight

What a great cafe. Relaxed, cosy atmosphere. Good coffee and cakes. The lunch menu looked good too. It was a real treat to have an excellent pianist playing when we arrived. Lots of art displayed and adverts for upcoming music events - just wished we lived closer.

A vibrant little place that brings fun with a friendly smile and a warm welcome for everyone and good prices.

We visit this venue two or three times a month for music events, drinks and food. The entertainment available is eclectic and NEVER boring. Prices charged are very reasonable in these inflationary times.

We went to this cafe while visiting Ryde beach. The food was lovely and the staff were great. There was even a box of toys and some board games to keep my kids amused.

What a special place..It is An anachronism with regard its current Cafe counterparts. I last frequented a similar Cafe ,when I was 20 ,and this reminded me of the one i had the best of best times ,from a life eons ago.And here it is reborn in Ryde,together with a superb evening of Music and Song .The folk running it make you feel welcome .The entertainment for the evening one could not find better ,and I hope M A continue this standard Will certainly return .
