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

My sister and I took our Mum for her 91st birthday. Staff were so kind and afternoon tea excellent. All made her a very special birthday. The memorabilia brought back many memories for her. Thankyou so much.

Lovely place, beautiful spot facing the sea at Ventnor. Very pleasant staff. I had a cup of tea, my friend had a coffee. Tea & Coffee served in very nice, good quality Bone China Cups & Saucers which were Made in England! There is so much rubbishy, imported crockery about it's good to be given good quality china to drink from. Thank you very much!

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.

My family and I stayed for 3 nights over Christmas 2024, The hotel is like Downton Abbey .Stylish yet from another era .Loved the heavy brass bedroom keys .The staff and food Could not have been better . Loved the whole experience .Living on the Island I have only heard great reviews . Can highly recommend this hotel and staff .

Lovely food, attentive staff and lovely views

Didn't stay in the rooms so can't comment. Just popped in for food on a Tuesday night. Food was really good, there's a good range of options, a specials board that's updated and a good offer for vegetarians (who have their own section on the menu). It's good pub food, done well. Service staff are polite and attentive.

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

Cool vibe in the summer blasting out tunes on the stereos, bit pricey for the drinks though

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.

I went in today for the first time, and I bought two large seabass and some salt salmon for tomorrow ! I have got to say tonight Seabass was the best I have ever had. I shall definitely be going back. Louise
