The best restaurants in Cowes North Isle of Wight South East

The food was fabulous, on Tuesdays they currently offer gluten free which was perfect for my daughter. The menu was a giggle to read and the service quick and friendly. They also offered great chicken nuggets for our non fish lover as well. Really great - would heartily recommend.

Good food, limited menu. Flat iron steak a bit on the small side. Pork Mac and cheese a little too big. 2nd floor a good spot for view. Worth a shot.

Absolutely shocking (pardon the pun). Went in here with my partner after a party and ordered a drink each before heading to a wall opposite the bar to drink and chat (you can see the wall in question in the attached photo). As we were chatting we went to lean against the wall and were hit with an electric shock. Accidentally I then touched the wall again and was promptly hit with another pretty painful electric shock. I looked at the wall in question and it was clearly damp and appeared that touching any part of the wall around the light switch would electrocute you. Obviously not wanting anyone else to experience this I informed a member of the bar staff and we were told that they were aware of the issue and that was it. If you’re aware of the issue why are not blocking off that wall immediately and making sure no one goes near it?! Irritated by his lack of response we then informed a bouncer who gave another nonchalant response and said they were also aware of it but nothing they could do currently. Absolute rubbish. Block the wall of so no one gets zapped!!! Disgusting attitude by the staff who clearly don’t care about the clientele. I wonder how long this wall has been in this state and I fear for the next person who brushes against it.

Only stopped for coffee but have to say it is the best I have had on our holiday so far. Highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff, would visit again. Made to feel very welcome at this gem of a cafe. Nothing too much trouble. One of the best breakfasts on the island. Ask for the trains to be switched on and see them, it was lovely.

Called in 2 real ales to choose from didnt stay for another :(. Only seemed to be locals in dont think visitors got much of a welcome. Wont be back.

After reopening again in 2023 after its closure in 2022 everything seemed to be going well until late in 2023 when despite not having any information that it had closed, it shut one night never to reopen. No notices in the windows. No announcement like last time to tell their loyal customers that they'd decided to close down. And now it seems it HAS closed down & is being turned into flats! Well, there's a lot of unhappy people from over the last 30 years who would have liked to have been told 😔 Bad form Chip Ahoy....

A traditional old English pub with good food , well worth a visit , nice friendly staff good beer and a minute from the water front and town centre

nice chill amptosphere the coffee i got was top tier service was fast and the people were lovely will be returning

Really central, amazing atmosphere, live music, amazing food and bar, on the seafront, overall amazing experience with the most kind staff

Food always on point, fresh salads, chips that actually taste like potatoes and fast delivery

We had a poor dining experience, one meal in particular, the stir fry chicken was very strange with slices of raw tomato and bottled silverside onions. The other meals were indifferent, chips not really hot, a real bugbear with me as it's something that's so easy to get right. They close tomorrow until March so were obviously just not that bothered and keen to get off home. It's a shame as it's an attractive venue with live music and a real nautical vibe.

Booked a two nights stay here (weekday) during half term for myself and two children. The rooms had recently been refurbished and there was the nice new carpet smell. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed, Tea making, TV, Wi-Fi etc. The en-suite was lovely although the bathroom door could have done with a squirt of WD40 as it was a little squeaky. We didn’t use the Bar, only to check in and the staff member was very polite and kind, offered to carry my bags etc. there’s a separate entrance for guests so you don’t have to go thru the bar area unless you want to. I was a bit dubious booking a room in a pub in the centre of town, I was concerned about noise but, I needn’t have been, we weren’t disturbed at all. Perfect location, we used the Red Jet to get over to the Isle and it’s not even a ten minute walk to the pub. Very central and surrounded by eateries and supermarkets Would definitely recommend. Would stay again.

I had the Pollo Al Masala and all I can say is wow. Absolutely amazing, service was great. I would highly recommend Toninos to anyone.

We had a take-away delivered and the service was bang on time. Good menu, great selection of dishes and the portions were generous, with quality ingredients. We were visiting and this restaurant was recommended by locals.
