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

Having seen and read about this cafe on Facebook, we just had to come along and see for ourselves. We weren’t disappointed, it’s a fantastic little place, the food was absolutely delicious, the staff totally wonderful and I’m going to say it, the toilet is brilliant, so many artifacts in there with the bombs and sirens going off whilst your in there!!! Brilliant. Highly recommend

Simply the best on the island. The Cream Teas are perfect. Choice of scone plus a choice of jam. Scone warmed up to the right temperature accompanied by a lovely pot of tea or a coffee. Staff very very accommodating and friendly. Dogs welcome too. What a great place

Crab and mackerel right by the sea. What more could you want? Not cheap, but nobody wants a cheap crab pasty and everything is here is top quality and is really good value. The wine is good quality too and compliments the food. Also, the setting is fab and with access a bit challenging you feel as if your meal is well earned.

We had a wonderful lunch in the garden for a birthday celebration, we had done the same last year and had a wonderful time so hoped this year would live up to our expectations from last year. It really didn’t disappoint. A wonderful setting, great staff and top quality food. You never feel rushed or over crowded, so it’s very relaxing. A real gem!

The home cooked food was fresh, well present with excellent service and amazing value. We will be returing and would wholeheartingly recommend anyone to visit the Mill Bay Inn. The location is perfect with an uninterrupted view of the sea.

We enjoyed a visit to the botanical gardens & decided to stop in to their cafe /restaurant for a bite to eat I must say that the views were stunning looking out onto the gardens , we were lucky enough to get a table on the veranda where a local choir were singing & it made our day The food menu is quite limited but there were a nice selection of cakes available & lots of unusual teas too The food we did order was delicious .. but they were small portions for the price ( I must admit it was one our most expensive eats while on the isle of wight!) All in all a great setting to enjoy a cup of tea & drink but maybe wouldn’t go back for food

Enjoyed all areas of this characterful establishment many times over the years. On this occasion a family gathering in the adjacent "boatshed" was just the ambience we needed away from the (enjoyable though it was) bustle of the bar. Good pub grub in generous portions, and well kept local ales. The staff were all so accommodating to any dietary foibles, and were exceptionally friendly and welcoming (as were other customers too). I nearly forgot to mention the stunning sunset views across the sea. Not much out there until you reach the Caribbean. Look forward to returning.

This place has sooooo much potential, but the owners let it down. They've let it go to ruin and it's such a shame. The vibe is great but it desperately needs investment. No food either.

We had a super Sunday lunch here after strolling through the botanical gardens. the chef Michael Jackson (yes, really!) cooked a delicious roast beef for my husband & did a special sea bass for me. Very attentive service from friendly staff & really good wine by the glass in pleasant surroundings, with the sun streaming into the restaurant.

Beautiful fresh sea Bream brought today. Really helpful and filleted one for me as my mother in law doesn't like it whole. Very tasty and we have a lovely chat with the lady behind the counter about the trade and the buisness. We will return when back 🙂
