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

What can I say but absolutely fantastic place the staff are amazing very friendly and welcoming every time we go in the food is excellent and always delivered to the table fast and hot using great quality produce. So sad they close for winter but always excited when they open again, one of my favourite places on the Island and so glad its local to me too xx 😁😁😁😁

Excellent fish and chips recommended.

This is a great 'out of the way' place to stop and have a quick bite to eat or drink, the cafe is set in the grounds of the abbey and there is seating inside and out. A lovely location on any day. There is a small menu of food available. Plus homemade cakes and hot drinks

Excellent tea and cakes. Tea was full of flavour - both the English and the Earl Grey. The Bakewell Tart was superb - one of the best I’ve tasted. Very pleasant service and dogs welcome. The building is C17th and has real character.

What a fantastic place. Great food, excellent service (thanks Louise), great venue. Definitely recommend a stay or meal. Thankyou to all

Well stocked deli, located close to the ferry, and full of interesting, and very enjoyable produce. We can definitely recommend the quality wholemeal bread, as well as the pastries and particularly the cheesecake, and the delicious range of Pork pies. We loved the shop, and the staff were helpful - great customer service.

We have been visiting Puckpool Tea Gardens also known as The Old Barracks for many years. The current owners have put a lot of effort into appealing to the locals as well as tourists and they allow well behaved dogs into the café which for dog owners is a massive plus. We have never had a bad experience in all the years we have been customers and it is the owners and staff that make a real difference. They remember their regulars and make time to catch up if they are not busy. My mum used to like going in with my dad for a cuppa but sadly passed away recently. The lady owner asked after my mum as she hadn't seen her on our last few visits and was sad to hear our news. She asked if it was ok to speak to my dad and give our condolences which she did. On our walk back to the car my dad remarked how nice it was for her to notice and take the time to talk to him. It only took a few minutes out of her time but it made a huge difference to my dad.

We had an amazing time, celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. The 5 courses were all beautifully presented and each one was explained to us in detail by the very attentive waiter. One course was not to our liking (raw fish, sushi style) but that's just down to our personal taste. The other 4 courses went down very well! We just had one flight of 5 wines between us, again explained in detail by a knowledgeable young sommelier, and all very palatable. The head chef came out to us to explain the final course - an incredible sticky, caramelised, apple tart, served with Isle of Wight blue cheese - a great combination. Just one niggle - I advised in advance that my husband couldn't eat salmon. However, the chef didn't get the memo (!) and 2 courses included small salmon additions that should have been omitted/substituted with something else. The chef did apologise to us at the end. A superb evening. We'll be back!

Reasonable prices and a lovely choice of snacks and drinks but better in the fine weather as the majority of seating is outside. The shortbread is to die for!

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.

Only a short stay in Shanklin, but fancied a Sunday Roast. Pleased we chose Tommy Bradshaw's . Superb plateful of lovely roast beef, with roast pots, a huge Yorkshire & stuffing ball. Also Gravy & some mash, maybe Celeriac, very tasty. Then the side dish of vegetables was served, enough for at least 3 if not 4 between 2 of us. Splendid lean, tender beef, and so many vegetables to accompany, we did struggle somewhat, but gave a good account of ourselves for a couple of OAPs. Highly recommend, would certainly visit again when we are on the Island.

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff, would visit again. Made to feel very welcome at this gem of a cafe. Nothing too much trouble. One of the best breakfasts on the island. Ask for the trains to be switched on and see them, it was lovely.

yates. what a classic. seriously, it's an absolute classic and staple of newport's mean streets, but it's time to mourn the sad death of yates as it is being replaced by a new restaurant of the same franchise owners.i went to yates recently but i am very sad to hear it is shutting down. value was special. food was special. everything else was a little special, it was sort of like a sprinkle of specials all around since it did have a good place in mon heart.very sad to hear it is shutting down. hacked off at whoever made the decision. bun them fully, bun them 100 and 10 percent.

We recently enjoyed dining at Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa. The hotel has a warm and inviting atmosphere and all the staff were welcoming. We dined in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful gardens and stunning views of the lake. Our meal was delicious and the presentation was fantastic. Our server, Dom was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you for recommending the irresistible sticky toffee pudding. Overall, we enjoyed a memorable dining experience at an elegant setting. We look forward to returning.
