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.

Having eaten here 3 times over the last few months my overall impression is underwhelming. The food, on the whole is fine, but the menu doesn’t seem to change, as a non meat eater this means a fairly boring choice. We have no plans to return in the near future

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.

A gem of a place. The food is all home made with ingredients sourced locally. A good menu of light bites, sandwiches etc. I had a pork & leek sandwich & my wife had a large sausage roll. Both were delicious. They also run a charity “Kafuta Tumbung School Trust. Building a nursery school & another school for the local children of the village in The Gambia. An amazing story. Beside the cafe they also have a gift shop, with proceeds going to the charity. Well worth a visit.

A good little burger spot. The onion rings were nice, and the burger was pretty good (I got the spitfire). The fries were okay, and the price is reasonable for burgers. The opening times were confusing - as the website says 4.30pm and the sign on the door says 5pm, and Google maps said 3pm (I suggested an edit to change it to 4.30, so maybe it's changed now)

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.

As in most years, myself and a friend went to the Island for five days in October to attend the Isle of Wight Bus Museum's running weekend. One evening, we were heading towards the Crab Inn for an evening meal (it was around 7.30pm) and passed this cafe on our way. We were aware of it being there, but assumed that like most cafe's it would have opened early in the morning and closed in the middle of the afternoon. Not so. This cafe stays open till around 8.00pm. We decided to give it a bash. We were warmly greeted by a most personable lady (presumably the owner) and sat down. The menu was as expected, not pretentious in any way, but quite comprehensive and with a number of daily 'specials'. We were served with a couple of very nice meals, both delicious and hot. Just what the doctor ordered. The added bonus was the sheer value. We honestly think you will struggle to find such reasonable prices anywhere else in Shanklin, or indeed the whole Island for that matter. We will certainly return when we are next on the Island. Thoroughly recommended.

Gorgeous cafe. Lovely staff. Very clean Every tea you can think of and homemade cakes...thanks ladies ♥️

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

Lovely lunch in the sun with a mocha. Good value for money with friendly and attentive staff. Having last been here some 15 years ago I was a little worried that it may have gone downhill. This concern was un-warranted. Great place.

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

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.
