The best restaurants in Wootton Bridge Isle of Wight South East

Order starter and main. Starter arrived in normal time and was fine but we had been in the restaurant for over an hour and a half before the mains arrived. One was totally burnt to the extent that the chef must have known it was burnt. Meat was rock hard on top and veg were solid black! Clearly they didn't care. No one asked if ok and they appeared surprised when I declined to tip. Safe to say that I won't be returning.

We’re here for the week, came to the Woodmans for dinner on Saturday night and ended up coming back again on Tuesday. Some of the best pub food we have had, the Cajun chicken burger is to die for, as is the steak and frites and the pork belly starter. Just absolutely delicious, fresh, generous portions and great service. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome as ever, good beer and plenty of people enjoying the food on offer.

My sister and I had a beautiful high tea at the Brasserie. Sandwiches and cakes were amazing served with excellent coffee, my sister said her pot of tea was good too. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Nice surroundings, we will certainly go again when my sister comes to stay.

This used to be our go-to restaurant - the view across the lake is great. The portion sizes are small - which is ok you can have a starter and desert but the prices are quite high. We got some shoddy service there and twice got charged for an extra main course - always get the bill - seems to be optional there. Not going back.

Hands down the worst Chinese in the area. Live local and ordered twice in the past couple of months. Never had Chinese food that is so tasteless. I'm Sure most of there sides are bought frozen and chucked in a deep fat fryer. I feel that this Chinese could improve massively. This is not Chinese food and the people that manage the take away shop need to realise that this food is not acceptable. Please improve. Hope you see this message! I am a nearby neighbour, from now on I will give you the look of disappointment until the next time I order, and the food has improved!

Food not as good as previous visit

A decent fish & chip shop, run by friendly people. The menu is reasonably extensive, although our fish and chips were okay.

We dined for a late lunch on a weekend out of season. The pub was rather quiet. Three of our party had the carvery which is reasonable quality and good value. As a veggie I wanted something else and expected to wait awhile compared to the others. After 25 minutes I had to chase and it hadn’t even been started! Another diner was in the same boat. Quality of the Leek fondue bake was okay when it eventually arrived. View of the river was nice and we liked the spacious dining area and plenty of parking

The carvery was amazing everything looked brilliant, meat was delicious veg was nicely cooked and the roast potatoes wow better than I can do at home so crispy and fluffy inside. Female chefs were very friendly

Second time we've ordered (for collection) from here and a really nice, clean Chinese takeaway. The first I've had in years that afterwards, I didn't feel yucky. Best chicken balls I've had in a long time! Crispy beef - really nice too. We live locally now so will be ordering often.

Ordered £50 takeaway for 3 people, tubs were 2/3 full, small tubs of rice, taste was completely average. Avoid

Lovely! We ordered takeaway from here while staying at the Woodside Bay retreat and it was perfect. Arrived in 15 minutes and it was so tasty! We also stopped for a few drinks in the Bistro Bar on our final night which was lovely. The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
