The best restaurants serving British food in Brading, St Helens and Bembridge Isle of Wight South East

Kate helped us with catering for two dinners for eight people over a weekend on the Isle of Wight. From my initial enquiry, Kate was incredibly helpful with suggestions for well balanced menus using local seasonal produce. Both dinners were dropped off by Kate at our rental house and we were given perfect instructions to heat up the various courses for both evening meals. The detail and care that Kate put into both dinners was exceptional and everything was absolutely delicous. I couldn't recommend Kate and Angel in the Kitchen more highly.

Very warm and cosy place, great after a brisk walk

It's nice but has become less unusual, more set for tourists. But worth a visit

Excellent small breakfast, high quality ingredients, beautifully cooked and piping hot. Included toast and hot drink made it very good value. Lovely atmosphere.

What a gorgeous unexpected find Right on a small beach we sat outside on a patio area that goes straight into a small beach The ladies that serve you are a really lovely and chatty bunch nothing was too much trouble you order at the counter and they bring it out to you With a quirky little spade table no. lol We went here on a few days running as food was Devine We had toasted sandwiches. With all the trimmings. Plus barbecued chicken wings My goodness they were delicious Even had a soya latte which was a bonus as I’m milk intolerant My husband had a coronation chicken baguette which was delicious 2nd visit we had chicken burger with chips and bacon mushroom linguine which tasted divine Highly recommended we will def be back

Had the beer battered chicken burger just amazing

We went here for Christmas Day lunch. We were not at the table we were told when booking and put down the bottom of the big dining room. It lacked decoration and we felt like we had been put out of the way as we had two children with us. The starter and fish course were nice but the main event of the Christmas dinner was bland and lacked any inspiration. We all had turkey but there was no stuffing, only a crusty bit of bread sauce in a pot on the side of the plate. It had boiled carrots, undercooked parsnips (unsure how these had been cooked but tasted raw), boiled sprouts and roast potatoes. The roast potatoes had been part cooked and re roasted. They were hard and quite a few of the potatoes were devoid of potato. The sprouts were also raw and couldn’t be cut, at one point it shot off the plate when tried, onto the floor. It was a very simple undercooked meal that had no especial touches for Christmas Day. They usually do a carvery here and I personally feel this would have been better option. No Christmas pudding but pear and ginger cake which was ok but not traditional. My other concern is that we had to keep asking for the children to get their meals. We were told the children got all that was on the menu when I booked but it was different when we got there. They had cucumber batons, and ham batons on a plate like an afterthought. It was totally unappealing and it wasn’t eaten. We asked for the fruit which was offered only to be told they had had their starter and couldn’t have it. Their meal was equally uninviting and wasn’t eaten as the veg was not desirable. The children had tiny crackers so we gave ours to them, they weren’t made to feel excited or special, a really boring time for them so we refused mince pies and coffee so they could go home. We then fed them when we got home. A waste of £95 for each adult and £35 for each child. In total £640! The Worst Christmas meal we have ever had. Never again. If you wondered why we booked, we have had a lot of personal difficulties this year and thought this would cheer us up and give us all a break from cooking.

Best fish and chips on the Island

We popped in here for sausage rolls pasties and bread pudding on our holiday The best sausage rolls I've had for a long time and the lady who served me was so lovely

This must be one of the friendliest pubs I have ever stepped inside, dog friendly with bowls and treats on offer, staff were excellent made us feel very welcome, even the customers were very helpful with giving me recommendations for a garage as my car developed a small issue on the way down, meals were stop on, very fresh, my partner commented on how nice the calamari tasted and not chewy like other places, the nacho bowl with pulled pork also very tasty, mains we opted for hunters chicken and Gregorys tagliatelle with lemon meringue and deep filled apple pie to finish, all very tasty and if your in the area well worth the stop

We had a big family dinner for a 30th birthday, the tables were booked for everyone and we decorated them when we arrived. Everyone ate something different and all the meals were served hot and freshly cooked all the staff were friendly. Disabled access needs a little attention at the rear but we managed . Everything was great.

Highly recommended for the friendly service, clean and cosy atmosphere. Very reasonable prices. For our misfortune we only could eat french fries on that day (14/03/2025).Even that also was well seasoned & good portion wise. Toilets are very clean and well maintained too. Thank you very much for your valuable service. See you again.

I went with family for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised that they let dogs inside. The cooked breakfast was perfectly cooked and very nice too. The staff are very friendly and polite. The establishment was very clean and is worth a visit.

We found Kates Cottage last year and come here every time we visit the Island. The ladies who serve are very friendly and we get a warm greeting. Our little cockapoo is also welcome. We mainly have the OAPs roast dinner which comes with a dessert included in the price. On both lunch visits last week we had roast lamb, roast potatoes, green beans, peas and carrots. The beans and carrots both freshly cooked. With our desserts and two big mugs of tea our total bill was £19 each visit which was excellent value. We have always found Kates Cottage clean and a lovely atmosphere. We look forward to seeing everyone again when we are next on the Island. We recommend as there is a good choice on the menu for everyone. My husband is a coeliac and he was catered for.

Seating a little tattie but that is more than made up for by the friendly staff and good food (large portions.) We were made to feel very welcome unlike the other place across the road which I am not going to mention but the staff were very rude AND ignorant. Well done Daisy!
