The best restaurants in Shanklin Central Isle of Wight South East

It is an incredible cafe in Isle of Wight. This is the more famous cafe with a good indoor ambience, friendly staff and an incredible soft spongy soft icing carrot cake. They roast their own beans which are from the Isle of Wight. I found this experience to be very good and suggest any one to visit it. Best place to walk to it is from the hope long stay car park. The walk is 3 minutes from this car park.

Made very welcome, lovely food. Great relaxed atmosphere. Very enjoyable.

All big thanks to the worker who gave me a poisonous food and gave me no drinks instead of apple juice, I hate no drinks!

Amazing food. Fish with sag rice was delicious and biriyani lovely. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. We will be visiting again.

Great cod roe really fresh ,pie nice meat ,chips crispy , boom !

The food is tip top best sandwiches on island. I have been going for 4 years and never had anything less than 100%

The welcome was first rate. I’m guessing that there was a little problem with staff communication. The young lady who served our drinks was struggling, as some of our party had to wait some time. The food came out at roughly the same time. We were a party of 21. Food. The mixed grill. You couldn’t fault the amount of mixed meats. Lamb and beef, I asked for rare and was told that it couldn’t be done as the meats were cooked in a “package”. The meats came out universally “well done. It seemed to me that they were fairly new to the business and training new staff at the same time. My wife and I, intending returning as a couple next year. Given the amount of effort they’re putting in, I hope they succeed.

What miserable staff! Almost throwing the plates in front of customers, murmuring something about condiments being inside!

Great location close to the sea and also to the center of Shanklin. Helpful and friendly staff!

Dirty tables, dirty floor, dirty toilet, cobwebs, Aircon unit rusty, cakes on top of counter with no covers, display units open at back so insects can get in. Cables from electric Till draping over cakes in cabinet. Ordered a chicken & bacon roll, (no ingredients poking out sides) when served to me it was egg mayo which the lady didn't notice egg smell, when opening the packet. Last month heard one staff member say "how many flies" Been in there times at 2pm, they Sweep up around you making you feel you shouldn't be there. Unfortunately, we won't be visiting again, but will go to the much nicer, cleaner, friendly stores in Newport & Ryde....

Takeaway was great and not too expensive

Dragon Pearl has always been our place to go for a Chinese Takeaway when visiting the island. Usually we would eat in but as there was only the 2 of us it was more handy to have a takeaway. We had chicken fried rice, chips, Chicken curry & bbq spare ribs & as always we were not disappointed. My husband is Gluten intolerant so we did ask questions on whether or not the chicken curry was GF which it wasn't but we still had it anyway & it was delicious. They do however have lots of GF options on the menu which other restaurants/takeaways do not offer so this is always good to know. Great friendly staff too.

Local pub atmosphere and welcome 👍

I live next door and I order regular food is always nice but this week I ordered two days in a row I had jacket potatoes this time and they are amazing the portion is massive and it’ tastes amazing 10/10 will be having it again very soon

We were on holiday and didn't feel like braving the bad weather, so we ordered dinner in. The menu had a wide variety, so everyone found something they liked. Food came quickly and everything was great. Would happily order again.
