The best restaurants in Cowes West and Gurnard Isle of Wight South East

The Food Shack is a great little local bar, sadly it is unable to remain open after the end of March due to not enough footfall. We have had a lot of great evenings here. I wish anyone who takes over good luck getting many of the residents to use it as Stuart the current owner has tried everything but still only gets a core couple of dozen regular users who will miss it terribly.

What a wonderful find!!! We had a superb "special" afternoon tea here yesterday, which we thoroughly enjoyed We WLL be back!!

Good value food and huge portions. Staff friendly and helpful … menu varied, catering well for a mix of tastes and allergies

Stopped in for a coffee but as it was lunchtime decided to have a jacket potato. I chose cheese n beans and my partner the chilli, both were served with a nicely presented side salad and butter if you wanted it. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the food was hot, tasty and good value for money. Would definitely go back.

Had a meal today with my friend and we both had homemade seafood pie. It was interesting, it described it as having a creamy dill and parsley sauce. Obviously the sauce had split as it was like water and as for honey roast parsnips, no taste at all in fact think they were just boiled. Sad experience.
