The best restaurants in Ryde North West Isle of Wight South East

This cafe was amazing for Gluten free cakes. There was a choice of at least 5 fresh cakes which is wonderful. Lovely staff, clean and comfy.

Had their full breakfast which is the usual one of each (2 bacon) with a drink and toast. The portion sizes were acceptable but not generous, and it was padded out with too many diced potato pieces, as well as being slightly overcooked/overheated. However their Breakfast was certainly okay, and the accompanying choice of Tea was really good, and made over two full cups. On the downside the cost of £9 was expensive for what was served, especially in comparison to many similar venues. It was clean inside and the service prompt and efficient. Unfortunately it was also too chilly in there and needed to be much warmer to be comfortable.  

We all loved the food we ate here in this relaxing, chilled out vegan restaurant with lovely service. Nothing to fault! These were our last moments spent on the island and I realised that Ryde was very fortunate to have such a place. If I lived locally I’d be there a lot for coffee and cake which they also do. Vegans and non vegans, do try them out!

Being a local I did not stay at the hotel but I thought I'd try the food as eating out in Newport is limited to say the least (unless you like pizza/pasta, there are at least 4 of these). I fancied traditional pub food which today is a scarce as all the pubs seem to be in the Gordon Ramsey mode, posh food, very little of it and expensive. The Wheatsheaf’s menu included real pub classics including Steak and Ale pie, Pork Belly, Steak and Chips, Lamb Shank to name a few. For starter’s I opted for the chilli prawns, a generous portion, cooked perfect and presented shell off which saves all that peeling and messy fingers! Starters are all priced at £5.00. I followed this with a perfectly cooked 8oz sirloin steak (med-rare) with lovely crispy chips and a blue cheese sauce accompanied by a nice crisp fresh salad, (which was not just a bowl of leaves like in most places). Although the chips were frozen they were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, perfect, I almost mistook them for the latest fad (3 times cooked chips). The chef must have a trick up his sleeve. The steak was cooked perfect. A field mushroom would have been a nice touch. Here's the good bit, all main dishes are only £10, if you fancy steak you do pay a £4.00 supplement which is fair. Even though I was stuffed I could not resist the homemade Rhubarb Crumble with cream. I managed to eat ¾ of it. Again, all the desserts were priced at £5.00. All I can say is although this pub has had a bad reputation for food in the past this is certainly not the case now, it’s really worth giving it a try.

Friendly staff, good menu and efficient service.

A great family run business and a fantastic place to eat. I love the deli counter and fresh produce. Highly recommended 💜

This is the best value breakfast we’ve found with good hot food friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere

Excellent food and service, in a lovely atmosphere and location.

We booked a cocktail masterclass at Artisan Cocktail Bar & Grill back in early February, but when we arrived, our booking wasn’t in their system. To make things worse, they don’t usually run cocktail classes on Saturdays, so we were worried my mother’s birthday celebration would be a bust. Thankfully, Kieron saved the day! He arranged cover for the main bar so he could still run the masterclass for us. From start to finish, the evening was brilliant - plenty of laughter, learning, and delicious cocktails. If you visit, make sure to ask Kieron for The Solero - it tastes exactly like the ice cream and is absolutely delicious. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is that the food was pretty standard and took forever to order and arrive. This is definitely more of a cocktail and drinks spot, but the masterclass is highly recommended. Huge thanks to Kieron for making my mum’s belated birthday treat so special!

The variation in quality makes it hard to give 5*. Normally the meal is scrumptious but today it was all overcooked, I suspect chips were cooked again.

Really impressed with this place, great deal on cocktails from 4 to 7pm 2 for 1 cocktails, I had jungle juice and long island ice tea both were lovley. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & beans, the chicken was two big leg's and it was juicy and tender, the sauce had a mild kick not to spicy and really flavourful, decent portion size filled my boots. Great service too very friendly. Would definitely recommend on an evening out!

Lucky to stumble across this place. It’s just lovely and quirky and the owners are the nicest.
