The best restaurants in Central Wight Isle of Wight South East

A wonderful place to eat; such a pleasure to visit and find a place that was so welcoming and being able such enjoy top quality food. Nothing was too much trouble; we had delicious sandwiches freshly prepared from local ingredients. Coffee that was fully flavoured, but refreshingly not bitter. All the cakes were definitely home made; tasting well and looking gorgeous. The cafe was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Our first visit, but definitely not the last.

Laurel and Alex catered for our wedding this year and we can no recommend them enough! We love Mediterranean food and wanted something as a tapas style and they came up with the most amazing sounding menu....We were absolutely blown away when we went for the tasting session with them and they made the whole process really stress-free. There was not 1 person at our wedding who was not bowled over by the food we had on our wedding day and we still have friends and family talking about it now and wanting the recipes!!! We just want to say a massive thank you to Alex and Laurel for going above and beyond to help make our day unforgettable and we will definitely be recommending you to everyone!!!!

Wow, what a find. We called in here while collecting some items from the pottery and were so glad we did. We’ve been visiting the island regularly for 4 years and this is by far the best breakfast we’ve eaten in all that time. The produce was of the highest quality, the lovely lady behind the counter was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our son said it was the best bacon sandwich too - so much so that he ordered another to eat on the go when we left. My daughter asked for cheesy beans on toast which wasn’t on the menu but they had no problem with making it for her. Absolutely excellent find - would highly recommend taking the trip to enjoy it.

We visited on my birthday for lunch and it was very cosy and seemingly quite popular. We enjoyed tuna mayo baguettes and the crunchie milkshake I had tasted great and was fully loaded. The only disappointment was they didn’t have any chocolate cake which I’d set my heart on, so I opted for the next best thing which was a brownie. I would gladly return in the future.

Grabbed some drinks from here whilst in Ventnor. The lattes were great and the strawberry milkshake was amazing.

The staff are amazing, so friendly and accommodating. We went with my elderly, disabled parents, and they couldn’t do enough for us. The home-made cakes are to die for and the view. I could’ve sat there for ever.

My hubby travelled five miles from our rental, where he ordered fish and chips and I had chicken and chips. The chips were ok but the chicken looked like it had been heated from frozen in the microwave then ?fried? with very little skin on it. The wing had been burnt to the bone and the outer meat on the breast was solid and even my pooch had to chew it like a pigs ear once I had separated it from the more edible meat within and passed it on to her. It would have been returned to you immediately had my hubby not driven back to us 5 miles away from you, before it was checked once out on a plate. This was Tues evening (last night). He also was put out by the cash only situation, but I understand that is your choice due to the cost of the service. He also tried to persuade me that chip shop chicken is always a bit hit and miss, but once he took a look at how much was inedible he agreed that it wasn't fit to sell.

Wonderful, great value little cafe that I would absolutely go back to. Portions were very generous and ingredients were fresh and good quality.

We had yummy cake and hot chocolate today, enjoyed with a fantastic view and the staff were very friendly. Lots of fresh cake selection or smaller meals on the menu. Always love popping by when we visit the island

What a lovely friendly place both owners and customers. Excellent full english breakfast and other home cooked food. Dog friendly.

We were told about 'The Best Dressed Crab ' from our host where we stayed 👍 According to Google Maps, only a 7 minute drive from our location, we picked a day and phoned ahead to make a reservation ( don't visit without booking prior to going ). Because of local roadworks in place, it took nearly an hour to reach our destination 😩 We parked up alongside the river and proceeded to walk down the jetty to what looked like a mobile home in the river🥺 When we entered the hut, we were pleasantly surprised at how cosy and welcoming it was. We were shown to our table, and menus were received 👍 The menu was well put together with various dishes to tempt you from a crab sandwich to a full seafood platter🥲 We chose the seafood platter, and boy was that a great option, we had clams, prawns, crevettees, dressed crabs, mussels, lobster, and crab claws, all on top of a fresh salad tray with leaves, rocket and baby tomatoes, and two large chunks of baguette ( see photos ) all washed down with some prosseco and English ale it was very very tasty. It satisfied us thoroughly, so there was no room for dessert . Cannot recommend this place highly enough just wish we lived closer as I think this would be where I spent most of my hard earned English pounds in❤️ Please be aware that they can run out of seafood as they are governed by what they catch fresh that morning

Great food, great service and I will definitely be visiting again.

We stayed here with our two children 2yrs and 6yrs, the family room was plenty big enough for all of us and space for the children to play. The bathroom was equally spacious and the children loved the huge bath tub! There's a substantial play park in the garden and a games room. The food was exceptional, even if you don't stay here I would highly recommend eating here.

A wonderful cosy pub. We visiting friends here as we live in Cornwall. Our Sunday Roast was absolutely fantastic and delicious, one of the best we have had in a pub.. plenty of food, well cooked, lovely Homemade Yorkshire pudding. A credit to the Chef and His team.
