The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

The food tasted like, it was cooked by someone who has worked at the restaurant since it opened its doors, and no longer cares! lose the kitchen staff, appreciate the hard working Front of House more, and get rid of the manager who has little man syndrome

Stayed the night on the island & raced my bike half way around to catch the ferry back at Ryde. In a hurry and Hungry for breakfast & being gluten free I was not overly optimistic about food, there did not appear to be any outlets other than the pier cafe. How wrong I was. The Pier cafe " Yes we have gluten free bread" ' Yes we know what time the ferry is" Not only was my bacon & egg roll gluten free and the service quick. It was delicious ! If not for the others I would have got the next ferry and had another.

An interesting hotel where we went for dinner, although the food was ok it was a rather limited menu and the restaurant had no ambiance. The portraits in the hotel reception are fun though and worth a look. We did not stay at the hotel we just ate there and it was a shame it was too windy to eat outside

After reopening again in 2023 after its closure in 2022 everything seemed to be going well until late in 2023 when despite not having any information that it had closed, it shut one night never to reopen. No notices in the windows. No announcement like last time to tell their loyal customers that they'd decided to close down. And now it seems it HAS closed down & is being turned into flats! Well, there's a lot of unhappy people from over the last 30 years who would have liked to have been told 😔 Bad form Chip Ahoy....

As an islander I love getting a sandwich & a cake and sitting eating watching the world go by! Great sandwiches & cakes - especially the buttercream split doughnuts. Good prices too with friendly staff, what’s not to like ❤️

Visited for an afternoon tea. It was delicious, really well presented and great value for money. The owners were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family ☺️

Perfect location for a relaxing break. The surroundings are peaceful. Coastal walks right outside the hotel with beautiful views. Ten mins walk to Yarmouth where you can catch a "hop on hop off" bus or local buses to different places. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful especially our waitress Maryna. She was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment was very good especially Badness who put on a great show. The chalet was clean and roomy. One thing I would say is that the island was plagued by Mosquitos which we were informed of when we arrived. It would have been good to send guests emails pre-warning of this so you could be prepared. I was bitten badly as was our neighbour! Overall though we had a lovely weekend

It's no longer there. Keep up!! Turned up to find it empty but redecorated. No idea what it will be replaced with.

Great service and environment - right across from the beach on a lively warm late summer evening - Food was also great value for money and good sized portions

Popped in for a coffee and was made to feel very welcome. Used the gents toilet and it was so slean and pleasant smelling Sat outside and enjoed the atmosphere.

We came here for afternoon tea - the place was nearly empty, but we did not get to pick a table by the window because they were supposedly booked and apparently you cannot have afternoon tea without prior booking, so all we had was the scones. We also ordered two glasses of champagne which we never received. We had to go up to the counter because no one checked on us again. All in all, very poor service, the furniture and atmosphere are canteen-like and the scones were below average. Definitely wouldn’t come here again.

Brilliant food, staff are always lovely friendly and very helpful, been going her years love the place.

Very nice people, nice atmosphere, nice food. Never been to a Tapas Bar before and we were quite impressed with the standard of food!

I couldn’t possibly comment on the food/drink. The cafe looked really nice and we thought we’d give it a try. Unfortunately we were turned away at 3.30pm and offered takeaway only! Shocking that a business in the centre of town would turn down business at such an early hour. Just gives the impression that they can’t be bothered.

Great takeaway filled rolls and eccles cakes. Value for money, quality and excellent service. Can't go wrong. Try a cherry pie?
