The best restaurants in Sandown North Isle of Wight South East

This spot is so homey as it reminds me of home. The workers were so friendly and sweet! Would definitely go there again!!!

Amazing food, went down last weekend to try the new menu and wow what lovely flavours and service by Richard. Fantastic burgers as well! will certainly be coming back

7 different, delicious flavours (personal favourite was the sour cherry🍒 😋) to choose from, £2.50 for a big filled palm tree cup and £1.50 for a refill! Lovely, helpful staff, beautiful location with seating and views over the beach. You can hire them for private functions, too!

Amazing food and amazing service! The deli is very cozy place on top of Sandown high street. The girls are very friendly and helpful. I highly recomend visiting thus little gem!

The beer offered at this establishment can be described as satisfactory but lacks any standout qualities that would make it particularly memorable. However, the real disappointment lies in the service provided by the staff. During our visit, we observed that they appeared quite disinterested and were often preoccupied with their phones rather than attending to their duties. For instance, there was a delivery driver unloading kegs of beer, and yet none of the staff offered to lend a hand or provide assistance. They simply watched, glued to their phones, displaying a lack of initiative and motivation. This level of complacency suggests a concerning lack of enthusiasm and dedication, which may very well lead to the downfall of this establishment in the near future.

Couldn’t fault the food ( lovely & fresh)we had the munch box between us & couldn’t finish it.. Good service for food, drinks service not so much Pornstar was a watery pre mix. Must add the food shack is a separate concern to the pub/hotel Tables chairs, benches & stools looked a bit tired but it’s coming to end of season. Toilets were a no go really very tired & old Parking opposite very reasonable

Freshly made loved the deli and the bbq hotdogs. Best chips in sandown!

Unusual little venue, with small but creative menu. Good vegetarian and vegan options (in fact about half the menu choices are vegetarian or vegan). For lunch, we started with some garlic bread and cheesy garlic bread which was a very generous portion, and in hindsight we didn't need it! My partner had the Vegan Chili Pot, which was impressive and tasty (not massively spicy, tasty). My daughter had the mushroom risotto which was divine! Our little one chose off the children's menu and had a hot dog and chips! My seafood chowder was also very tasty. The food was creatively presented! Nice coffee also. It's a really nice atmosphere sitting in an ex-bandstand building, great views up and down the sea front.

Fab little place with a fantastic location on the beach. Walked the dog and stopped for coffee here every morning. Lots of people having breakfasts that looked good. A very relaxing place with friendly staff. Only downside is they closed Mondays and Tuesdays

Brilliant experience at The Reef. Food was excellent and service was great would highly recommend a visit. The lamb and mint pie is absolutely delicious Must visit!

Incredible beach side cafe Lovely food (vegan options available), friendly staff, great coffee and cakes and a fab ice-cream selection - a great find on a dog friendly beach ❤️

Just visited for the carvery roast using a price is wight voucher two roasts for £16.95. Very impressed with our visit. Lots of meat carved for us, and an array of help yourself veg. Beef was delicious and cooked perfectly, slightly pink in the middle which you don’t often see at carveries. Roast potatoes crispy and fluffy and veg options of cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, white cabbage, green beans, sliced carrots and carrot and swede mash. Chef carving was very helpful and friendly and offered to bring my gravy to the table as we had our baby with us and I asked to use a jug, nothing was too much trouble. Considering it’s the festive period and more busy than normal, all the staff were so accommodating. The young waitresses were attentive, we also visited last night for a festive meal and it was jam packed and again great service from all staff working. I had to leave early into the festive meal and asked for my pudding to go and waitresses were helpful and polite and quickly brought it to me in a tub. So lucky that we have this as our local, and will be returning very soon.

I was served by a lovely lady saturday evening, soooo helpful, i wanted chips and a veggie burger, and she was honest and told me the chips are cooked in beef fat, i wouldnt have been impressed if i had eaten any after being a vegetarian for 42 years! Soooo much appreciated, i love honesty too, a big believer in it, also they did me some fries cooked using something else. Thankyou all again. Top notch service, after driving around what seemed like forever to try and park near, so all your kindness was very welcome. 😁

Popped in for a coffee and was made to feel very welcome. Used the gents toilet and it was so slean and pleasant smelling Sat outside and enjoed the atmosphere.

Very warm greeting, lovely atmosphere, very relaxed & beautiful tasting food, piping hot. Best Indian restaurant we have eaten at in a few years. 100% recommend to all. If it’s not on the menu, they will bend over backwards to create your dish. Thank you to Abdul 👍
