The best restaurants in Brading, St Helens and Bembridge Isle of Wight South East

What a gem beautiful ornaments and unusual gifts picked up a couple of bits to take back to Lincolnshire with us ..great value and myself and the wife thought very reasonably priced.

Very friendly welcoming place with homemade food and lovely helpful attentive staff. I brought my elderly relative in a wheelchair and she had the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on brown toast.very generous portion and delicious, and I had the excellent home made quiche and salad.

We called into the cafe on a wet and windy morning. We only wanted a snack and the lovely staff split a toasted sandwich and gave us both the excellent coleslaw and salad garnish. Carrot cake to follow and lovely cup of coffee.

I went here for lunch it was amazing, will be returning asap good value amazing prices, you get a lot of food for the price best sausage rolls by far!!

Huge plus for us as we can walk from our cottage but not a problem to park up in the village in the evening. Proper village pub that did so much for the community during the dark hours of the pandemic. Has undergone a very good overhaul of the whole pub which works well. Food was excellent and our table of 6 ranged from 17 years to 70 so lots of different dishes. 100% worked, from nachos to curries. (Always good as the special curry chef makes several and they are all extremely authentic) all those years of flying long haul makes me extremely picky. New management but retaining old and experienced faces, what could be better. Fish and chips naturally as we are right by the sea here, superb, and chipped potatoes right on the mark. Good value, great ambiance, can be a little busy on quiz nights but that is village life which cheerfully embraces visitors and tourists.

What a gorgeous unexpected find Right on a small beach we sat outside on a patio area that goes straight into a small beach The ladies that serve you are a really lovely and chatty bunch nothing was too much trouble you order at the counter and they bring it out to you With a quirky little spade table no. lol We went here on a few days running as food was Devine We had toasted sandwiches. With all the trimmings. Plus barbecued chicken wings My goodness they were delicious Even had a soya latte which was a bonus as I’m milk intolerant My husband had a coronation chicken baguette which was delicious 2nd visit we had chicken burger with chips and bacon mushroom linguine which tasted divine Highly recommended we will def be back

We found ourselves in Bembridge at 7pm on the wrong side of the marina with all the pub kitchens closing at 8pm. The team at The Birdham kindly allowed us to order over the phone and kept the fish pies hot until we arrived. Really delicious, very fresh and generously filled with big fat juicy prawns. The pub was a little on the quiet side hence just the 4 stars but definitely worth a visit.

Awesome little place. Cafe with coffee and snacks as well as a proper bar. All built in shipping containers.

Such a pretty old building on the High St Brading. Can't think why we never found it before but the welcome was warm , the staff were friendly and efficient and the food was superb! Difficult to get a Sunday roast just right but they nailed it ! From the meat to the veg and the giant Yorkshires everything was generous and perfectly cooked and just as a traditional home cooked meal should be.

I have eaten here before and the food was great. This time I'm afraid that the sauces were week with no flavour. The duck was undercooked. The veg was boring. The mixed grill was weird and we sreamed ?? No flavour no colour. Not good for the price !!

There do a lot of fun events so take a look at the website

Had a takeaway this evening. Everything was over cooked and chicken was very tough. Must of been cooked day before?? Far too expensive won't be going there again.

Visited for the Sunday Carvery. The choice of plate size was so easy to follow and well explained. Food was delicious - hot and freshly cooked. Recommend the Choux dessert. ALL of the staff (special mention to Ant) were cheerful and chatty. Such a nice relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely come again.

Excellent quality bread. Highly recommend focaccia and baguettes. Also basic pastries range pain au chocolat, croissant and palmier every day plus one suprise bake. Later there are often tarts which looks amazing. One tiny niggle the drinks are a little expensive especially a pot of tea at £4.20.

This cafe used to be known as ‘The Tollgate Cafe’, however, after the previous owners retired, it was bought out by the people who own & run ‘The Best Dressed Crab, a few hundred yards further down the beach, it is now known as ‘The Harbour View’. Sadly, what was once a cute, well managed & friendly café with very reasonable food, has now become a place with sometimes rude staff & extortionate prices. It’s still a lovely place to sit & watch the harbour from, but £2.00 for a can of Coke, no thank you, go elsewhere, I do now.
