The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Nice friendly pub, dog friendly with some good beers

Lovely location overlooking Shanklin beach. 2 minutes walk to the sea, 10 minutes back up, this is hill not for the faint hearted. Great massage treatments and spa sessions. Lovely clean pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Well stocked bar and friendly staff.

Excellent tasty freshly cooked dinner.

It's now closed and up for sale

3 of us came for coffee & cake yesterday. Good coffee and and an amazing cheese scone! We were served by Will who was excellent - very conversational and helpful. We will be back.

Now known as the veteran . Great place to be for bands and DJs especially ska fever

Amazing service, friendly people, always made to feel welcome by the lovely ladies behind the bar, all drinks at an affordable price.

As someone who live to the rear of this bar I and many others have complained about the excessive noise, anti social behaviour, drunks flowing into the rear car park as if it part of the bar's property . They also use the car to park their vehicles as if their own yard without paying for a ticket. The children's slide and climbing area (if approved) is monitored from a distance! With all the anti social behaviour around this area the owners do nothing to help improve it; especially the noise polution this bar and it's clientele create! The "new. Management " promotion is a joke! Just the same anti social crowd! No respect for any neighbour even after the recent "noise complaint" raised with the council! Close the place as it should not have rear access / facilities within a residential area! Gives Ventnor a bad image!

Have to go far to beat the Sizzler.

A regular haunt for us now. Food quality versus price is the best in the area, in our opinion. Brilliant fish and chip offering.

Just visited for the carvery roast using a price is wight voucher two roasts for £16.95. Very impressed with our visit. Lots of meat carved for us, and an array of help yourself veg. Beef was delicious and cooked perfectly, slightly pink in the middle which you don’t often see at carveries. Roast potatoes crispy and fluffy and veg options of cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, white cabbage, green beans, sliced carrots and carrot and swede mash. Chef carving was very helpful and friendly and offered to bring my gravy to the table as we had our baby with us and I asked to use a jug, nothing was too much trouble. Considering it’s the festive period and more busy than normal, all the staff were so accommodating. The young waitresses were attentive, we also visited last night for a festive meal and it was jam packed and again great service from all staff working. I had to leave early into the festive meal and asked for my pudding to go and waitresses were helpful and polite and quickly brought it to me in a tub. So lucky that we have this as our local, and will be returning very soon.

I paid £15+ for two drinks, and it comes in plastic. Band was tuneless and depressing and the outside area smelled like landfill.

My first stop on the Isle of Wight. Absolutely cracking place. The cheapest beer I had all trip. The staff were excellent easy to chat to and very helpful. The decor (apart from the Halloween stuff) is pretty straight forward- my only little whinge would be there are a few large tables rather than lots of little ones. On the good side it makes people sit together and chat, who knows who you will meet? The Guinness was excellent

Girl who served us was polite but the lady with blonde hair kept staring and giving a foul look made us uncomfortable and the ginger bread men are drier than an old newspaper sandwiches are fab tho

favourite place on the isle of wight. graham matthews sang songs for the bar. can't beat the Simeon
