The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Absolutely shocking (pardon the pun). Went in here with my partner after a party and ordered a drink each before heading to a wall opposite the bar to drink and chat (you can see the wall in question in the attached photo). As we were chatting we went to lean against the wall and were hit with an electric shock. Accidentally I then touched the wall again and was promptly hit with another pretty painful electric shock. I looked at the wall in question and it was clearly damp and appeared that touching any part of the wall around the light switch would electrocute you. Obviously not wanting anyone else to experience this I informed a member of the bar staff and we were told that they were aware of the issue and that was it. If you’re aware of the issue why are not blocking off that wall immediately and making sure no one goes near it?! Irritated by his lack of response we then informed a bouncer who gave another nonchalant response and said they were also aware of it but nothing they could do currently. Absolute rubbish. Block the wall of so no one gets zapped!!! Disgusting attitude by the staff who clearly don’t care about the clientele. I wonder how long this wall has been in this state and I fear for the next person who brushes against it.

Only stopped for coffee but have to say it is the best I have had on our holiday so far. Highly recommend.

Breakfast baps are lovely. Good price and quality Some staff aren't very helpful though? Let the cafe down but the baps are worth it!

We had an amazing time, celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. The 5 courses were all beautifully presented and each one was explained to us in detail by the very attentive waiter. One course was not to our liking (raw fish, sushi style) but that's just down to our personal taste. The other 4 courses went down very well! We just had one flight of 5 wines between us, again explained in detail by a knowledgeable young sommelier, and all very palatable. The head chef came out to us to explain the final course - an incredible sticky, caramelised, apple tart, served with Isle of Wight blue cheese - a great combination. Just one niggle - I advised in advance that my husband couldn't eat salmon. However, the chef didn't get the memo (!) and 2 courses included small salmon additions that should have been omitted/substituted with something else. The chef did apologise to us at the end. A superb evening. We'll be back!

Reasonable prices and a lovely choice of snacks and drinks but better in the fine weather as the majority of seating is outside. The shortbread is to die for!

We stopped here as we were on the Island visiting family for a pit stop and some tea. Well all I can say is the food was delicious. I could not fault the service. The menu choice was really good. I have not been into the Prince of Wales for a long time. Thank you.

Excellent food, friendly service. What more could you ask for. Very welcoming and great choice of food for lunch. We’ll definitely be returning.

Amazing atmosphere. Local food produce and Wellcoming staff . Amazed by the deli buchees and frozen foods. This institution sells every fine dining you could get. It is a bit pricey for everyday shopping bit overall is amazing

We had read previous reviews about service so we’re prepared.. we were sat straight down and given menus, quite a few bookings came at the same time. Food order was taken quickly and drinks brought. The waitress was very busy but dealt with it well although there was a young waiter passing the floor but no interaction with the customers not actually sure what he was doing. We didn’t get offered the dessert menu but had enjoyed our meal so didn’t need one. Excellent food and good portion size.

Visited today for a cream tea. Drinks served in dirty mugs, scones on polystyrene plates with one pot of jam and cream to share. Scone was like rubber. We only had one mouth and left. Disgraceful!!

Absolutely gorgeous food , best Chinese in years , have had a mix of different meals from here and all have been great , favourite is the mixed meat curry and salt and pepper chips . Highly recommend.

Excellent food and great service from all the staff especially Leanne from the bar. Staff friendly.

Only a short stay in Shanklin, but fancied a Sunday Roast. Pleased we chose Tommy Bradshaw's . Superb plateful of lovely roast beef, with roast pots, a huge Yorkshire & stuffing ball. Also Gravy & some mash, maybe Celeriac, very tasty. Then the side dish of vegetables was served, enough for at least 3 if not 4 between 2 of us. Splendid lean, tender beef, and so many vegetables to accompany, we did struggle somewhat, but gave a good account of ourselves for a couple of OAPs. Highly recommend, would certainly visit again when we are on the Island.

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff, would visit again. Made to feel very welcome at this gem of a cafe. Nothing too much trouble. One of the best breakfasts on the island. Ask for the trains to be switched on and see them, it was lovely.

yates. what a classic. seriously, it's an absolute classic and staple of newport's mean streets, but it's time to mourn the sad death of yates as it is being replaced by a new restaurant of the same franchise owners.i went to yates recently but i am very sad to hear it is shutting down. value was special. food was special. everything else was a little special, it was sort of like a sprinkle of specials all around since it did have a good place in mon heart.very sad to hear it is shutting down. hacked off at whoever made the decision. bun them fully, bun them 100 and 10 percent.
