The best restaurants serving British food in Arreton and Newchurch Isle of Wight South East

Seems a great place and everyone raves about the food (only popped in for drinks ) but be back for food soon

Had a fabulous meal this evening. Two of us had the vegan wellington, it was amazing, the others had the steak and ale pie, and chicken and leek pie. all very good. Staff lovely and very friendly

Nice family pub restaurant. Small bouncy castle for kids & outdoor playground. Good portions & the food was served hot & also they have a call button on the table for service so very quick service.

The food was lovely though almost cold by the time we were given it. We then waited almost 30 minutes before our plates were cleared. Then again a wait of almost 10 minutes to get the desert menu to be told that they’d sold out of one of the two deserts. There were other options of cheese or ice cream. None of which we wanted. The waitress came to take our order after another wait of 10 mins to announce she had no idea what deserts were available. We ordered coffees instead of desert. Waiting on coffee whilst I write this review. Whilst the garlic farm is lovely in many ways, the setting, the food when it’s hot, the extremely poor service lets it down - every time I have visited for a meal

It was great. Be sure to try the blueberry muffin. Thank you very much 😊

An excellent lunch with everything just perfect. I have been looking for a pub offering roast meals with genuine roast potatoes, not those that have been boiled and deep fried and taste nothing like a real roastie. This is is the place for the genuine article! Everything about the meal was perfect. Huge homemade Yorkshire puddings, beautifully cooked turkey, carrots amazing with a hint of star anise and mustard cream leeks too. It is so nice to be offered vegetables that have been prepared to be a treat in their own right and not just a sidekick to the main component of the dish. My partner enjoyed a jerk chicken burger which he loved, accompanied by a truly delectable salad which was a bit different with cashew nuts etc. A tribute to the culinary skills of the chef in the kitchen who must be congratulated for turning good, honest and basic ingredients into a mouthwatering delight. A nice peaceful atmosphere and excellent service means as locals, we will also now be regulars. There is nothing like a well kept cellar and a skilled chef to tempt us back.

Haven’t been here for probably 7 years as we moved into Bristol! I wished we’d stayed so we could come here more often. Excellent food and great value too! Staff were super friendly and a good laugh! A must for locals, passerby’s and cyclists! Will be back soon!

Managed to seat us even on a busy Sunday lunchtime, staff were friendly and efficient, food was tasty and hearty.

My husband and I eat here every Sunday. The White Lion is the best of the best. We had Christmas and Boxing day in their excellent company. We felt we were a part of an extended family. Beautiful home cooked food. We cannot fault this family run business. They have had lower class clientele that were abusive. But rubbish always comes to the top of the pond. So ignore negative comments, if they want fast food then they can go elsewhere. This is quality food not junk food. FEB14 VALENTINES DAY 2025. WOW!!! Beautiful food and lovely touches with real red roses and heart shaped candles. I just have to show you my pudding. Lovely homemade meringue with that gorgeous chewy bit. Cream islands under all the meringues and huge strawberries. Three flavour meringues, plain, pistachio and raspberry. This was SOOOO good. We so love this place and I really really wanted the Tri of meringues with Chantilly cream again that I had them on the following Sunday. Now with edible flowers and raspberries. Picture added below.

This is a great 'out of the way' place to stop and have a quick bite to eat or drink, the cafe is set in the grounds of the abbey and there is seating inside and out. A lovely location on any day. There is a small menu of food available. Plus homemade cakes and hot drinks

Brilliant meal last night at the Hare and Hounds service was quick and the food hot and delicious much improved since last spring when we visited. Beautiful location next to Robin Hill and the peacocks are are a great attraction. We will be back again in the summer.

My partner and myself quite often have lunch, also drinks and cakes at the Bear Cafe. The Staff are so friendly, most of the food is homemade and delicious. Nothing is too much trouble, the ambience of the Cafe is lovely and they have a Wood Burner going in the cold months which is super. The Bear Cafe is at the very Top of our list to go to which is often Two very happy customers Wendy and Steve

The cafe team were struggling to meet demands, you could see they were trying hard. Breakfast was ok. Like the refillable drinks. Ok for a cheap breakfast.
