Viv's cooking in Isle of Wight

Great lunch in friendly cafe in Sandown High St. Excellent food. Generous portions and very friendly service. Jerk chicken, goat curry, chickpea and veg curry all sampled and declared delicious. Friendly cheerful service. Rum cake for pudding and a sticky toffee pudding with custard were both great desserts.

We were on holiday in the Isle of Wight but decided we would be visiting here before we set off. We had seen the café on the Jewel of the South TV program. The food was amazing - just perfect. Between the three of us, we had the BBQ chicken, the brown stew chicken and the veg lasagne & would recommend any of them. Viv & Paul are such a lovely couple and we're so glad we visited. We have already recommended them to others and will be doing the same if we know anyone that will be visiting the IOW. And thank you both for the "ferry cookies". They went down very well indeed. Sorry - no pics of the food. We only remembered once we had eaten it all!

Had to check this place out having seen it featured on a tv documentary earlier in the year! Absolutely faultless experience. Viv and her team really engaging! Viv's personality and warm smile an absolute winner! Food exceptional. A true Jamaican experience! Will be back next time we visit the island. An EXCEPTIONAL FIND !

Be assured of a friendly welcome and a great lunch of Caribbean food. If I lived on the Island I would go there often as the welcome, food and atmosphere was excellent.

Our first visit to Vivs and it was amazing. Its an English cafe with Vivs added caribbean twist. I ordered a veg pasty which was homemade and sooooo good, chips and salad. Hubby didn't really know what he wanted, so Viv made suggestions and bought him a goat pasty and dumplings which he thoroughly enjoyed. Coconut and banana cake for desert was just wonderful. Prices are so reasonable. Viv is a lively, energetic bundle of energy, with great personality. We will be back often.
