The best restaurants in Carisbrooke Isle of Wight South East

Lovely views, great cream tea and ploughman’s lunch! Staff and owner were lovely. Begrudge writing this review because I’d love to keep it secret!

Great food, great pints, fantastic kids options, would highly recommend to anyone living on or visiting the Isle of Wight!

Friendly local Italian in Carisbrooke which was walking distance from our holiday let so we gave it a try. Overall a pleasant enough dinner, £23 bottle of Sauvignon properly chilled, attentive service, free bread. Decor is rather dated though not as off-putting as photos had suggested, the pasta dishes were tasty and - oddly perhaps - came with a choice of salad or vegetables. The latter (including roast potatoes) would seem more fitting with a Sunday roast than a plate of penne but were nicely cooked and great if you want to really fill up. My chicken with pepper and seafood was a disappointment - somewhat dry chicken breasts in a gravy that wasn't nearly as rich as one might have hoped and generally lacked flavour despite some interesting ingredients. Perhaps I was unlucky. Certainly the place seemed popular and maybe I should have had a pizza.

Great food, absolutely perfect food and a heartwarming service. Thank you guys and good luck

Lovely evening meal and great service. Fish pie, burger and everything we had was excellent and enjoyed by all of us. Would recommend.

This was the best value hotel we stayed at in a recent walking holiday on the Isle of Wight. The room was obviously newly decorated with a large ensuite. Both food and ales were excellent and the reception was friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Popped in for another breakfast and I wasn't disappointed at all. This is my second visit before writing this review. my friend and i were very happy with the service and the breakfast was lovely. Definitely going back.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. They managed to get us fed and watered with not much time before the kitchen closed on a Sunday evening.

Perfect location for a relaxing break. The surroundings are peaceful. Coastal walks right outside the hotel with beautiful views. Ten mins walk to Yarmouth where you can catch a "hop on hop off" bus or local buses to different places. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful especially our waitress Maryna. She was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment was very good especially Badness who put on a great show. The chalet was clean and roomy. One thing I would say is that the island was plagued by Mosquitos which we were informed of when we arrived. It would have been good to send guests emails pre-warning of this so you could be prepared. I was bitten badly as was our neighbour! Overall though we had a lovely weekend

Very nice people, nice atmosphere, nice food. Never been to a Tapas Bar before and we were quite impressed with the standard of food!

Our first visit here and we loved it. They have truly nailed the ‘perfect guest experience’. From dog bics/blankets on arrival; warm and cosy atmosphere to stunning interior design and high-quality, well priced, tasty food. Staff were lovely and friendly. Cannot find any fault - well done! We will be back soon.
