The best restaurants serving British food in Nettlestone and Seaview Isle of Wight South East

Sunday roast is very good and the service excellent

great relief to find this place as the breakfast at the B&B was poor. the breakfast was good value of tasty. we went a few times

What a shame this restaurant is going down hill . The four of us visited, not having dined in our previous local for a few years and how disappointed we were. After asking about a previous member of staff we soon got the vibe of the current work force. We will take our 10% tip and offer no customer experience or service whatsoever. When we asked for salt after seeking some ourselves we was given the same empty one back with the girls behind the bar laughing. We had paid in advance so I suggest you don’t pay when you order drinks and food in advance. Lessons learnt I know. to the two brothers who I believe still own the establishment the quality of products and service are appalling. I see from the trip advisor reviews you fail to comment so enough said. How on earth this place has won awards is beyond me, unless it’s for the views. Mr & Mrs Rivlin Mr N W Sprengel Ms L Smedley Starters we had two crab ramekins, served in small bowls that had no crab, was microwaved to death and not even placed under a grill to slightly crisp the top. I’m not sure where the crab was but it wasn’t in the ramekins, these were spiced heavily with Tabasco and something that tasted fowl. Being near the sea you would have thought a couple of fish n chips wouldn’t be too bad , but the cod father in Ryde is ten times better. Batter was soggy , peas looked like they had been scrapped from the bottom of the pan. We left the risotto and pasta as it tasted bland, and we couldn’t be provided salt or pepper to season ourselves. The waitress (used to work in the yacht club) obviously saw our dismay, so did the young girl who served the food , so we didn’t get asked if everything was ok, either during or at the end of the meal. Luckily a bowl of chips from the hotel up the road was ten times better , at ten times less the price , with better service.

Stopped for a quick sandwich and coffee, smallest sandwich I I’ve had in a long while, served on thin sliced bread. Cost for 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees was £24.20, extortionate in my opinion

We had the all day breakfast and it was OK but pricey compared to other places on the island who, in fairness, also serve up better fare. The service was also OK but not particularly efficient but the staff were more attentive than on our last visit a while back which was good to see. However it's a cafe in a garden centre and it is what it is e.g. a good place to grab a bite and a drink if needed whilst shopping for your gardening essentials so, from this viewpoint, it's fine we just wish it was a bit more reasonably priced for what is offered.

From the outset the bar staff were friendly and helpful and could not be faulted the food was exquisite and the portion sizes were just right , the value for money was spot on. The ambiance with the view over the Solent as the sun went down was captivating Thank you Seaview Hotel for a memorable evening

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!
