The best restaurants in Chale, Niton and Whitwell Isle of Wight South East

High quality self-catering accommodation in a beautiful surrounding

Stumbled upon this place by chance while driving and looking for somewhere to eat—and what a great find. The view alone was stunning and set the tone for the visit. At first glance, the menu seemed a bit pricey, so I was a little hesitant. But the food completely exceeded expectations. We ordered the chicken burger, tempura prawn poke bowl, and a couple of bao buns. Everything came out quickly, and every dish was top-notch. The chicken burger was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had—juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with an awesome slaw. The poke bowl tasted incredibly fresh, and the tempura prawns were crisp and light. I’m genuinely impressed by how they manage to serve such high-quality food so quickly from what looks like a small kitchen. A hidden gem that’s well worth a visit. Keep it up folks.

We really liked Chale Green Stores and it's fabulous café - but it's closed! I guess there are just not enough people actually living locally all year to make it viable - but we're really surprised, as it always seemed so lively and so community-focused, as well as great for us visitors.This is a great loss, and I hope it can be revived.

Fabulous meal at Castlehaven. It was a beautiful day and dined overlooking the sea. Sea bass was delicious and perfectly cooked. Staff were knowledgeable and lovely. A must in the sunshine. Thank you.

We stayed last week at the mouse, have done many times over the last few years and don't look to stay anywhere else on the Island when we visit. The staff are just great, you have Tony who always and without fail gives a smile and a warm welcome each time. Deb who can't do enough for you, Alex the same...everyone fabulous. The menu is extensive and has pretty well what you need. The rooms, which I think we must have stayed in all of them by now are comfortable..! Thanks again and we'll see you later in the year. Ash & Emma.

We arrived last minute with a party of 29, adults and kids after a football tournament. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming. The kids enjoyed the bouncy castle, and the food was delicious. When we come back to the island we will be definitely visiting again.

I stayed here with my daughter while walking the coast path. The pub is in the centre of the village and very convenient. The room was a good size and clean. We had the family room as there aren't any twin bedrooms. The bathroom was very nice, with both a claw foot bath and a large shower cubicle.

Lovely pub in a lovely place with a fantastic beer garden
