The best restaurants serving British food in Shanklin South Isle of Wight South East

Having seen people recommend here on Facebook we looked forward to our visit. Whilst the food was okay we felt that price wise, paying £55 for a seafood platter for two it was rather expensive, when the platter was put on the table my son initially thought that it was just his. Plus side the salads were lovely and fresh, no limp lettuce, it all looked freshly prepared. Taste wise the prawns were of the small previously frozen variety, the crab was bland, he enjoyed the mussels and the crevettes were nice. Found it strange that pickle is served with a prawn ploughman’s. Ham in the baguette was average. Paying over £30 a head for lunch , only one course each, not sure if we will return. The gardens and setting are beautiful, with lovely views of the bay. The website needs updating, as prices are very different now.

Extremely attentive and friendly service; absolutely delicious dishes at fair prices and good portion sizes.

We all love Rios burgers but since my daughter had her first one she hasn't stopped going on about it. BEST BURGERS EVER! Enjoyed by all of us! Thank you

We have been here many times over the years and looked forward to our visit again this year. What a disappointment. We had a cream tea which consisted of a pot of tea, 2 scones, butter, cream and jam. The jam and cream pots were half the size they used to be and the butter was barely there, adequate enough for one scone but certainly not two. The jug of milk supplied did not have enough milk for one cup of tea and we had to ask for extra. I do not drink tea and asked for my tea to be substituted with coffee, big mistake, it was undrinkable. Went we went to pay we were told 'cash only' and I was lucky to find some cash in the bottom of my bag. This should be made clear when you enter and before you order as a lot of people do not carry cash. Our experience was so different to every other visit we wondered if there were 'new owners' but overheard the owner telling other visitors that she had been there 17 years. Sadly will not be returning.

What an amazing tardis of a place which draws you in with its thatched roof and promise of Wight shaped scones. It has extensive seating both inside and outside with an adjacent council car park. Bit pricey to park there ☹️. Visited three times:lunch, afternoon visit and early evening meal. There is a small bar inside and this room is the lively one in terms of engaging in conversation with one of the owners or other guests. The menu is varied and everything is freshly cooked. The scones are light and fluffy!! It is very easy to eat a lot here 😀 Very easy to reach by bus and a wee walk from the station We thoroughly enjoyed visiting.

What a fantastic little tea shop and very interesting to find out about their charity work. They catered extremely well for allergies and there was even a choice of deserts. This staff were friendly and kind and helpful with making choices.

If you go to the Isle of Wight you have to visit the lovely late night Donut Hut. It is perfect for a visit after a visit to the Chine. The litte huts have twinkly lights creating a magical atmosphere after dark. The pancakes are especially great. Highly recommended.

A great find! Quality food, comfortable seating, a friendly welcome and great prices! Would certainly recommend highly!

Delicious place for Lunch , delicious cakes, quiche, coffee, alsorts. Friendly staff and always a smile.

Good selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. Packed lunches available for coach trip home.

Por estar na praia e ter garantido volume de visitantes, não precisam se esforçar muito para terem o lucro esperado; ainda mais com o preço bem alto por bola de sorvete! A variedade é grande e chama a atenção, porém nem todos os sabores são naturais e os olhos enganam. Recomendo, entretanto, o de mel com gengibre.

Stunning cocktails and mock tails. Staff couldn’t do enough for us. The pink beach cocktail is absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely recommend this place. Just lovely sitting out in the sun here

Tasty food and great service albeit anonymous location, lacking ambience, but happily no background "music".

Visited today for a cream tea. Drinks served in dirty mugs, scones on polystyrene plates with one pot of jam and cream to share. Scone was like rubber. We only had one mouth and left. Disgraceful!!

Excellent food and great service from all the staff especially Leanne from the bar. Staff friendly.
