The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

I ordered the box of Halloween doughnuts with a price is eight voucher for the last day of term. Delivery sometimes isn’t until the afternoon but they arrived in time for break and made so many people’s days. Thank you so much. I should have taken a photo before they were eaten but they were beautiful

What a gem. A warm welcome on arrival tasty cakes and amazing gelato. They really have thought about everyone. From an area for the kids to vegan gelato to alternative milks. It's nice that they are staying open late in the summer on certain days. Worth checking their facebook page for updated opening hours.

Ordered a delivery. Efficient service but pizzas were chewy and toppings were pretty bog standard. Very disappointing.

Lovely room that was comfortable, great shower, complementary bottled water and the breakfast was devine. Pub in the evening was busy and served a good pint of HSB. Great value too. Definitely recommend and return again

Living nearby we are always on the look out for a new restaurant to add to our list of eating out places. My husband booked the Table for my birthday meal. First impressions were good, bright, fresh, clean and welcoming. With a lovely well stocked bar, a cocktail before dinner was most enjoyable. As for the meal itself it was a mixture of highs and lows. Possibly some of the staff are new to their jobs. The wine was opened and poured without being offered the chance to try, the waiter looked surprised when my husband said he would like to try it first. We had to ask for bread, but when it arrived, still warm, possibly home made, it was served with a delicious olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic dip. One of our guests first requested choice of starter was unavailable, as the restaurant was almost empty this was a surprise as I can’t imagine they had run out. I had a starter of mackerel, in my opinion this should have been thinly sliced as the gin cure hadn’t penetrated the fish completely so was a little chewy. But was still edible. A main course of whole plaice, or possibly sole, was pleasant but so undistinguished I can’t remember what fish it was! It was though bordering on the over salted side, but as someone who chooses not to use a great deal of salt this could be a personal choice. Served with what was listed as a Greek salad, although with the addition of mint rather than oregano, it was very tasty nevertheless. My husband had told them it was my birthday but alas no decorated birthday wishes plate, or even a candle in a sweet was offered. Overall a pleasant evening with friends, but I doubt we will be adding The Table to our list of restaurants to return to.

Had a great time after our Quiz Walk today at The Vine. Cheerful, helpful staff serving os all (36 of us) drinks & tasty food. With Thanks.

We visited the White Lion for lunch on a Sunday. Sadly, the carvery wasn't available as it was straight after Christmas. However, we were still able to get a plated roast dinner with veg served separately in dishes. The meat was both beautifully cooked and plentiful. Definitely no short portions. All the veg were cooked to perfection except the broccoli, which was still quite hard for all of us. The cauliflower cheese was perfect and to die for. The sticky toffee pudding was one of the best i have had in a very long time. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the staff were attentive but not intrusive.

Ordered hot chocolate which took 10 minutes when it arrived it tasted like water. I returned it and the lady looked at me as if I was mad. We were given a replacement which was no better so we left. Couldn't be bothered to complain

To be fair I am comparing to Ocean Village Southampton which gets 5/5 on all counts. Correo staff OK highlighted more by fact ambience in venue really not great. Don't get decor, if going for shabby chic they haven't achieved it. Numerous odd paintings on a wall that is made to look like plaster has been removed due to damp or mould. Food tepid but good apart from that.

Got a takeaway yesterday & it was really good. Onion bhaji's were great; not at all greasy like some can be & full of flavour. Both chicken main courses (balti & roghan josh) had succulent chicken & tasty sauces. A really good takeaway

It is amazing why go any other kebab house when u can go to this good service and food one

We ordered takeaway from the restaurant; waited about 15-20 minutes and food was still piping hot by the time we got home at 10 minutes walking distance. Egg fried rice could use some more salt, crispy squid was slightly too salty but really not bad, beef with garlic and chilli sauce was nice, mixed vegetable foo yung was okay. They gave us a bunch of free crackers which we love. There are of course much better Chinese takeaways in the UK but this isn’t the worse. £22 for those 4 dishes + crackers was unbeatable.

Our Boxing Day dining experience, shall we say, left something to be desired. The advertised vegetarian option, absent, left us feeling rather 'herbivorous' indeed. The leaflet handed to us before we sat down with all items out, appears to be easier to make a list and hand it out rather than rectify, replace, stock up, a shame board from the start doesn't show enthusiasm, awards, care, proactiveness , but instead a please don't ask about these items as we don't know what to do , Tested : When we inquired for maybe a replacement , after giving a substantial pause, the offered alternative lacked the enthusiasm one might expect from a kitchen that truly values its customers. "a plant based something stack" was suggested afterall that's exactly what every vegetarian wants "a plant something", dandelions and marigolds sound more inviting. The cheese fondue, while undoubtedly cheesy, was perhaps a tad too enthusiastic in its embrace of dairy. It lacked suitable accompaniments, 3mm of ciabatta slice, leaving us feeling like we were wrestling with a bowl of molten goo with just a spoon, dare we say, your need to love Chesse straight without the molten sickly nature overwhelming you, – a culinary experience that might be better suited to a Viking feast without the staple. The fish and chips, alas, were a study in contrasts. The fish, sadly, had taken on a rather ghostly grey pallor, resembling more a distant memory of a fish than the vibrant creature we had hoped for. One might be tempted to suggest that it had enjoyed a rather extended vacation in the deep oil, where tough crab sticks could be an appealing alternative and flakes are not expected. The roast dinner, while promising, presented a few curious anomalies. The roast potatoes, imbued with a peculiar over nuttiness, seemed to have developed a secret life of their own, soft golden exterior, from bathing after roasting, The stuffing balls, regrettably, had achieved a level of hardness that would have impressed a blacksmith, the Balance was more like the launchpad at blackpool pleasure beach, Yet the turkey, despite its best efforts, remained stubbornly chewy, leaving us feeling a bit defeated having to leave the predominant leather for cleaning, and I don't mean cleaning the car. expectations is that next years boxing day will have no issues not booking a table ahead of time, as the patrons today I'm certain won't be back next year of they had the roast or fish and chips. Overall, while we appreciate the effort, we couldn't help but wonder if the kitchen was perhaps under the influence of a mischievous culinary sprite, determined to inject a touch of the unexpected into our meal. Perhaps a little less 'sprite' and a little more 'chef' next time might bring locals back in? Honestly the only patrons I have witnessed are hotel customers, seems to slacking a local desire for dining. After everything I am reminded that It's important to leave constructive criticism also : Mushy peas were good, Undoubtedly a familiar canned product.

First time visit. All food was very tasty. Friendly staff . Would definitely return.
