The best restaurants in West Wight Isle of Wight South East

Eaten here a few times, food is always nice and clearly made with love. Plenty to choose from! Always cooked fresh! Staff are lovely too!

Lovely warm welcome and all staff were really friendly and helpful. All the food was delicious from the salt and pepper squid, to the hot crispy chips, but our absolute highlight was the Chateaubriand, it was to die for ⭐️ Thank you so much Jan Stew Louie Monty and Hugo

We visited here recently with a party of 16. They had no trouble catering for us with orders being taken promptly and food all coming out hot together. Rump steak cooked perfectly. Couldn't fault it at all. Highly recommend the espresso martini.

A great place to while away time before a ferry, or, as the ladies were doing in the other pod, celebrate a birthday. When the sun is shining but the wind is blowing, the pods are a great way to enjoy the views and the booze, the Perrys cider is lovely and my friend was very impressed with their sparkling Earl Grey tea.

An absolutely delightful place with good food, great ambience and friendly service. A congenial spot!

Brilliant place for a night out! Great live music and great crowd

Stopped in for lunch whilst walking the coastal path. Very friendly service and tasty food. Didn't have a beer but good local ale on the pumps and in bottles.

Sunday lunch 29th September Decided to give their pub another go as reviews looked hopeful. Even spoke to a couple the next table who said you won’t be disappointed. Firstly the table was a little sticky and the reserved sign has dirt on it ! Looked like gravy. Chair was wood and no cushion so uncomfortable for anything longer than a few minutes. I had to go out to my car to get my coat as I was cold. My husband ordered at the bar and returned with a very flat looking beer. Apparently they are unable to get a head on it ! Something to do with the machine. Food arrived and I was shocked. The child meal or mini roast was on a the smallest plate yet they had piled it with vegetables that you couldn’t sort it so my son could actually eat with any decorum. There was a Yorkshire pudding on top that was limp and doughy- not crispy as they should be. Potatoes are clearly deep fried as crispy but just a tad too and no flavour as you wouldn’t want to ruin the oil would you. Mine and my husband’s Yorkshire puddings unfortunately looked the same so I asked for some cooked ones. They came out the same. The potatoes were appalling as well. No salt and pepper on the table to add some flavour. Had to ask. Both my husband and I had asked for double meat which you pay a little more for. Even when the server brought mine out he said ‘chicken ?’ I said I ordered ‘chicken and pork’ !! Oh yes he said there is pork as well. I’d have to forgive him for not seeing it though as it was almost non existent. No crackling which was clearly being eaten by half the other diners as you could hear them but not on our plates. To enjoy cauliflower cheese you can order this on the side at a cost. It looked like it had been dipped in mustard and there was little sauce but a dry coating of cheese tang to the cauliflower. It was just weird. You can order extra stuffing, potatoes and even limp Yorkshire’s at further cost. Thankfully we did not. So we spent over £60 and was left wanting. The server was in his own and not checking his diners. We left within 40 minutes. Shamefully I feel I have to write this as the other reviews are misleading. I really wouldn’t waste your money.

Recommended by a friend who lives on the island and wasn’t disappointed. Good service. Good coffee. Good cake. What’s not to like!

Very friendly staff, (always smiling),good beer, good food and they looked after myself and my two dogs (Janice and Mr Spock).

I use chessel cafe quite often as I think it has a nice feeling about the place very clean, friendly staff and nice ambience however i think the coffee is way overpriced as you only get a small pottery cup pour that into a normal cup and it wouldn't even be half full also had a toasted teacake very small and asked for some cheese to go with it was charged £1.50 for two small slices of cheese just think it's very overpriced

Excelente almuerzo del domingo con un amigo. Derretir en la boca solomillo de carne de res, enormes yorkies y patatas asadas crujientes, junto con un servicio agradable y atento en un ambiente de pub con carácter. Sin duda volveremos.

The team at The Llama Tree could not have been more helpful and friendly when we asked if we could host part of our wedding there. We love West Wight Alpacas, just over the driveway, and we thought how wonderful it would be to feed our guests pizza after an experience feeding (and walking!) the animals. We struggled to choose from the pizza menu because everything sounded delicious! So the team did an even split of all their topping options and honestly, I'm still struggling to pick a favourite! Us, our families and our friends all enjoyed their pizza and audibly agreed with an Aunt when she said 'this is the best pizza outside of Italy!' The Llama Tree team decorated their space with very pretty wedding decorations and set the table beautifully. They kindly boxed up leftovers which did not last long - enjoyed and complimented again as an evening snack... and once more for breakfast! Thank you to all at The Llama Tree and West Wight Alpacas for making our first day as husband and wife so memorable!

Very nice ice-creams. Would recommend. Good choice of flavours, lovely tasting ice-cream. Friendly staff. Not badly priced.

We popped in for a cake and the choice was outstanding BUT the taste was even better!!! My husband had a iced bun (it was huge) I had a caramel/ custard doughnut and it was the best I've ever had! We made sure to pop in before we caught the ferry home for fresh bread and more cakes. Well worth more than one visit.
