The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Fabulous looking interior, great food as always, lovely staff, but... and the reason i am writing this review, the music was absolutley awful, the fact there is speakers by most tables there was no escaping it... I went to the bar asked if they can change the music, gave some advise like Indie folk or something, but they told me they have no control over the music and cannot change it, ONLY the owner can who was not there. This is bizarre that their is not choices, they were playing something most odd maybe mexican, i dont know but i heard other people also commenting negatively, to be honest it kind of ruined our experience. Come on OWNER sort this out, there needs to be a wider choice for the staff to control, whatever was playing was literally pitiful and awful and ruined the entire atmosphere. Please listen to your customers and staff, they are who matter.

Before we headed home took a stroll along the beach front in Ryde, came across this place, young chap behind the counter very friendly and chatty, good range on the menu, ordered medium and large fish with chips, cooked to order, small seating area, meals came short while after, shop started to become very busy as we waited, fish was lightly battered and chips cooked to perfection, not disappointed, highly recommend

Olde world pub..very informal..good food, great service and decent prices.

Great location, within walking distances for many bars and restaurants.

Stopped for lunch on a Monday in early March, having visited the excellent farm shop and already tasted their burgers and chicken - both first class. Food at Bluebells today was extremely good- huge portions - my jacket potato with egg mayo was enough for a main meal. Others in my group had a couple of the Specials: Halloumi Hash ( grilled halloumi, beetroot, poached eggs and sautéed potatoes); the Briddlesford Burger. One of my group also had a chocolate milk shake - 'the best ever'. Service was very prompt and there was genuine interest when asking how our food was. Would have loved one of their cakes or desserts but we were so full! If not for just visiting the Isle of Wight for a holiday, we would visit very regularly. Thank you to all at Bluebells.

Rather an odd place, some of the plants and surroundings are magnificent and other plants and areas are dreadful! They seem to be trying to achieve a "natural look" but it should not mean just leaving plants without care. We noticed that in some areas the plants are being strangled with bindweed which is sad to see and is going to be very destructive to many plants. Also some very big safety issues with paths close to the hot house blocked by branches and one path with steps going up a fairly steep hill where the handrail is totally hidden by overgrown plants. In the valley at the bottom there is a large pit about 10' deep where the only safety barrier is made from wooden planks some of which have rotted in the ground and are only held together with the rope at the top of each plank, only a matter of time before someone has an accident there and drops into the rocky pit! The hot house is interesting, again planting running wild and escaping from the inside to outdoors. Interesting to talk to a structural engineer who was visiting and reckoned the plants would wreck the structural integrity of the building within 2-3 years. An interesting visit, sometimes for the wrong reasons, if you go take care and be careful on the overgrown sections, especially the paths and steps. A machete and a hard hat might be useful! And if anyone working there reads this... Please get some of your safety issues sorted, if anyone falls down that very poorly protected hole or hurts themselves on your overgrown paths and steps then the damage to your reputation and bank balance could be big indeed

Food and service great 😊 Only downside was the ladies toilets, could do with a deep thorough clean

It's lovely, a nice chilled out proper public house

The location for the hotel is really good. It is next to a river, the river was a bit dry when I went. I really like the rooms for premier inn, the hotels rooms, cleanliness and very good and the value for money is incredible. We had a very good sleep and breakfast from the nearby beef eater restaurant. Beef eater provides meals to hotel guests. There is ample parking close to the hotel.

First time visit for quick breakfast. Polite staff and prompt service. Breakfast very nice and well cooked.Coffee nice too. Would return.

The food is superb. Spacious and bright. Helpful and friendly staff. Recommendation to management is to get new baby high chair.

We last came here quite some time ago, so decided it was time to go back! We were not diappointed. Both mine and my husband's meals were absolutely delicious, each a good portion size made with fresh ingredients, tender meat and served piping hot by friendly and attentive staff Fully recommended and we'll definitely be back.

Went with a coach party. Hotel was clean and staff were very attentive. Cleaning lady was very good. Only real fault was the food. Soup was lukewarm. So was breakfast. One night we had lasagne. It was awful. No taste . Looked like sick on our plates. Worst meal ever been served in hotel. Had abba tribute band and disco whilst we were there. Both very good

Great food and service, good music.

The burgers were delicious as was the scampi excellent portion size. The drinks were delicious too.
