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

Charming Pub with Traditional and Delicious Pub Food! The Crown is a family favourite and we have been coming for years. It is a charming pub! The current owners have been our favourite visits and the menu has a fantastic choice. My mum and I had the special: mushroom linguine recently. It was delicious and tasted like high restaurant quality. We also enjoyed the chocolate mousse with a home made biscuit and the raspberry roulade. My toddler loves the chips every time he visits. Friendly staff and delicious comforting food. We also love the fact it has a well equipped playground for children to enjoy along with the stream.

I just had the best burger of my life it was so tasty and they opened especially for us to have a birthday meal would 100% recommend to everyone.

We visited today and brought a round of drinks. The pub was around 30% full of diners, very much for locals. We asked if we could just grab a seat, but we were told to go outside and sit as all tables were booked. This was not the hospitality we should have deserved. We sat outside in the rear yard, which needed tidying up. We didn't even finish our drinks and left while the pub was still 30% full. I won't be returning.

⸻ I recently visited The Merry Inn Farm on the Isle of Wight with a friend, and we had a lovely experience. It was a perfect spot to enjoy dinner in the sun, and it was conveniently located—less than a minute’s walk from the Premier Inn where we were staying, practically right next door! This was just a quick trip to the Isle of Wight, but we enjoyed it so much that we ended up returning to The Merry Inn on Sunday after an 8-mile walk for a much-needed and well-deserved lunch. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it was a great part of our visit. We’d definitely come back again

Stopped in for a coffee but as it was lunchtime decided to have a jacket potato. I chose cheese n beans and my partner the chilli, both were served with a nicely presented side salad and butter if you wanted it. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the food was hot, tasty and good value for money. Would definitely go back.

It's a good place to watch football

The Griffin were very accommodating when my husband (the birthday boy) saw that they had Lamb Shank Shepherds pie on the menu but it was part of their Easter menu and was supposed to have changed the day we were due to visit, I called up before booking & asked if there was any way at all he would be able to have it (as it was his birthday!) and lovely Sam who I spoke to said ‘when booking make sure you put it in the special requests section but there is a strong possibility that it might be likely to be able to happen’ I did just that and when we turned up the following day he was able to have his dinner of choice! Thank you very much to the Griffin for making his day & he said it was delicious and very filling! We were all very impressed with our choices so thank you once again! We have visited a few times over the years as we love the place and always recommend people to visit! See you again I am sure! The Taylor family! X

Please don't go. Don't need to say anything the pricing will be the end

Work on the Isle of Wight and have never been but will definitely return. Really good food friendly staff and amazing reviews definitely worth a visit

Worst fish & chips in Isle of Wight. No salt, no taste.. Too oily.. I, my wife and my daughter faced worst experience going to this Cafe.

A truly dreadful “salad” bowl that contained what appeared to be a whole tin of chickpeas, 12 French beans, 2 slivers of cucumber and a couple of bits of sun dried tomatoes. This was topped by a very small portion of dry chicken and a complete absence of any fresh salad vegetables. Definitely not recommended.

Have a walk along the promenade we called into Appleley coffee shop we had lovely takeaway coffee's a lovely blend with outside and inside seating an ideal venue for refreshments

We found Kates Cottage last year and come here every time we visit the Island. The ladies who serve are very friendly and we get a warm greeting. Our little cockapoo is also welcome. We mainly have the OAPs roast dinner which comes with a dessert included in the price. On both lunch visits last week we had roast lamb, roast potatoes, green beans, peas and carrots. The beans and carrots both freshly cooked. With our desserts and two big mugs of tea our total bill was £19 each visit which was excellent value. We have always found Kates Cottage clean and a lovely atmosphere. We look forward to seeing everyone again when we are next on the Island. We recommend as there is a good choice on the menu for everyone. My husband is a coeliac and he was catered for.

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.

Seating a little tattie but that is more than made up for by the friendly staff and good food (large portions.) We were made to feel very welcome unlike the other place across the road which I am not going to mention but the staff were very rude AND ignorant. Well done Daisy!
