The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

A fabulously creative selection of choices as well as a full English option. All cooked to order and fresh, the quality was superb and the staff friendly and knowledgeable about the menu ingredients. Good coffee too - not an easy thing to find.

Best tearoom/food in Buttermere, fantastic food, lovely ambiance and the friendliest of staff. Just wish I lived nearer.

My first time trying this place. Just like Chinese and Indian food it’s westernised to cater for the western tastebuds, but I do love their fish cakes and coconut rice.

We visited twice. Once to have a drink and the other for food. It was busy both times. Staff were great. The pub had a nice feel to it with what seemed like a good mix of locals. Our pizzas were a little over cooked (burned in places making them hard crusts) for my taste but they were acceptable and good flavour.

Splendid , relaxed and delightfully informal . Excellent food and drink cheerfully produced and served ……. a live wire !

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

Been a few times great pizza 🍕 Saturday night special 😋 ploughmans was amazing and Sundays roast was perfect we always leave feeling stuffed 😋 😊

We had a wonderful seafood feast delivered by Emma last Saturday evening Potted prawns to start ( super yummy) Bouillabaisse to die for next ( we ordered for five but was very generous portion) Chocolate pots and strawberry pavlova for dessert! All completely delicious, we had a wonderful effortless dinner party thanks to you! Will be back to order again without a doubt! Thanks so much Emma x

Brilliant Sunday roast as ever. Arguably the best fish and chips in town, amongst many other menu options, all cooked on site. Dedicated restaurant area, separate dog friendly area for diners and a bar area where all can eat and drink also. This place has been called Sandow's hidden gem.... and how right that is.

Went here for lunch with our two sons 8&11) and my husband after they had played football golf at Tapnell farm and I walked the Tapnell walking loop with our dog. Shakshuka with feta was delicious; my husband and I both had it. Burgers on the kids menu and main menu were tasty and homemade. Our youngest wasn’t keen on the tortilla chips with his kids burger so only had the burger and two halves of cucumber. Oat latte was really good. Parking is available on the street but might be trickier in busy times. Would definitely recommend for lunch.

We had a wonderful lunch in the garden for a birthday celebration, we had done the same last year and had a wonderful time so hoped this year would live up to our expectations from last year. It really didn’t disappoint. A wonderful setting, great staff and top quality food. You never feel rushed or over crowded, so it’s very relaxing. A real gem!

Came in for a coffee after catching the service bus over from Shanklin and enjoyed the coffee the chocolates looked very tempting indeed

The food was certainly delicious in this cosy, very busy restaurant. Staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small and tables close together which gives a shared experience and intimate atmosphere. Definitely a dining must, with sming faces everywhere.

We were looking for a nice restaurant in Cowes for lunch on Saturday and found this one through TA. We had the most delicious meal served by the two sons (owners). They told us the restaurant has been in the family for over 30 years and you can tell this is an owner-run restaurant. They put such care into everything. Will definitely visit again.

What a fantastic little tea shop and very interesting to find out about their charity work. They catered extremely well for allergies and there was even a choice of deserts. This staff were friendly and kind and helpful with making choices.
