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

had a lovely evening meal in the pointer , salt and pepper calamari starter was very nice and the steak and ale pie was superb , washed down with a very tasty bottle of malbec , we will return

Great cup of tea,friendly staff and good for light meals.

Extremely attentive and friendly service; absolutely delicious dishes at fair prices and good portion sizes.

Lovely Inn situated in a great area, very busy I would recommend booking in advance. The service was excellent everyone were very friendly. The food was very good, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. I would definitely return and recommend.

We enjoyed our pre-Christmas gathering over the Crown and Bear Christmas special. Lovely food and happy to provide extra gravy for the roast dinners.

Good service, loverly food and very original menu. The views of the beach are great. Parking in the area is the only problem.

I never give 5 stars but today I am fab Sunday roast best we have had I think ever *****

Made very welcome, lovely food. Great relaxed atmosphere. Very enjoyable.

Good restaurant with a smallish but varied menu (most meals £15-20), just a 10 minute drive from the ferry port. Food for 5 took about 10-15 minutes and was very tasty. Only complaint was that they make you sit in the bar area if you have a dog. It wasn't too bad but definitely less comfortable than the main seating area.

Best jumbo sausage in batter I've ever had

Last minute decision to visit here for Sunday lunch and they were very good in finding us a great table. The service was also very engaging also. Really good roast chicken Sunday and chocolate mouse dessert, They made a fuss of my husband as it was his birthday also. It also has great views across the Solent and the outdoor pods are fun also.

Having eaten here 2 nights. The food standard was excellent both nights. The ambience in the restaurant would be better with more clients. The service on both evenings was attentive without being intrusive.. The trout small plate was delightful in taste and presentation. The lamb and duck dishes were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Both dishes were well balanced and filling. The cod dish was very filling and an unusual presentation of cod and crab. The meal was complete with great champagne and wine without a need for a pudding! Compliments to the kitchen brigade and waiting staff

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.

All big thanks to the worker who gave me a poisonous food and gave me no drinks instead of apple juice, I hate no drinks!

We have always loved a rios for the last few years. Latley it's been getting worse but still okay. Just thought we would give it another go and it's the last time we will be ordering. No longer are they nice fresh made burgers. Instead they are pre-brough slimy pattys. The dirty fries are no longer the tasty side they used to be. Now they just dump loads of sauce on. Abit of cheese and about the equivalent of 1 piece of streaky bacon cut up into bits n chucked on the chips. I don't know if the old owner sold up or its under new management or theyve just lost the love they used to have for presenting a bangin burger and delicious smoky fries, but the whole rios experience is gone. It's now basically a cheap shi××y burger with some can't be arsed dirty fries. I'm not one to moan but tonight's meal was lazy and ridiculous.
