The best restaurants in Newport Central Isle of Wight South East

As Aussies we are critical of coffee as our culture is addicted to it. Here we had a coffee we were amazingly thrilled with. It was a REAL COFFEE with flavour, depth, texture and truly made with love thank you Emma for creating the best coffee we have had in the entirety of the UK xx

Such a fun place to go! The service was exceptional and the waiter was very attentive. The food was good depending on what you got. I can’t complain overall but some elements were better than others. Game choices were amazing and some incredible snacks and drinks on offer!

Fabulous place. Top notch restaurant. Food to die for. Great atmosphere. Lovely, friendly staff. Very reasonably priced.

Great coffee and even better cakes!!

Hewitt was recommended to us by another pub on the island (who don’t do roasts!). With a recommendation from a chef we had high expectations… Hewitt didn’t disappoint. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, from the minute we arrived to when we left. There was more than just roasts on the menu, but we went for a shared feast! This was a combination of all the meats - lamb, chicken and pork belly. A huge portion of roasties, amazing yorkshires (nearly as good as mine!), fantastically prepared veg and pigs in blankets! Mash and cauliflower cheese were also included . It was a seriously huge serving for two and we bought home. Good sized doggy bag! But the size didn’t come at a cost to the quality… the pork was so tender and soft, the lamb flavoursome and the chicken moist and chickeny (as described by my husband!). It’s a well presented restaurant, has a lovely ambience and well worth a visit!

Great friendly staff. Just picked up a small yeti flask whilst in town.

This restaurant is so good that we promptly cancelled plans for the following week and booked again. The food is simply beyond expectations, the service is wonderful and the bill was much lower than expected. Look out for the Duck with Cherries and the Lemon Curd Eton Mess. We will be making the trip down from London just to eat here.

We had a lovely time dining here! The food was amazing—authentic Filipino dishes that truly hit the spot. Highly recommended whenever you visit the island. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner and chef, Ate Kristine, along with her husband. They were both incredibly warm, friendly, and accommodating. They even gave our son a free fried chicken takeaway because he absolutely loved it—thank you so much, Ate Kristine! The ambience of the restaurant felt very Filipino, with traditional games available to play while you wait, and even a karaoke setup if you're feeling brave enough to showcase your talent (we skipped it—didn't want to scare away the other diners, haha!). All jokes aside, we’ll definitely be coming back the next time we visit the Isle of Wight.

If there were 10 stars, I would have chosen them. 👏 Terrific food, wonderful service, made our birthday treat unforgettable. Thank you to you all. 100% recommendable by us. Dorado was absolutely delicious, and my seafood platter was unforgettable.

If you like real ale and small quaint drinking place this is good.

We ordered some cheesy chips, battered sausage and chips sadly the chips are just not edible, never seen such dry hard pieces of potato being sold as chips before, waste of £25

A fantastic spot I often go and have breakfast at on a Saturday.

Ali (with the braids) was extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The whole venue gave great service and the food was outstanding. Will deffo be back!

The building stood out among the run down shop fronts, it must be haunted with the age of the place, it definitely drew me in, lovely girl on the bar, we managed to get in just before they stopped serving food, I had the Tag Bol (Tagliatelle Bolognese) and my partner had the Steak and Ale pie, proper home made grub, reasonably priced and they even offer light bite portion options on some of the meals, a place I won't forget and hope to revisit.

We came here on a Monday lunchtime in April after a long walk. We found a table and got my husband’s mobility scooter in through the door the staff helped. Went to the bar and ordered some drinks and sat back down to look at the menu which is excellent a really good selection. We finally decided that the liver and bacon was good and the fish and chips with mushy peas . So we ordered at the bar, the girl behind the bar was friendly and very helpful a lovely lady. After a short time our food came out which was absolutely delicious both of them. The staff are brilliant and the food was delicious and hot the drinks were great too. We will be back soon an absolute pleasure and wonderful pub. No parking it’s on the high street there’s paid parking outside if you’re lucky enough to get a space.
