The best restaurants serving Default food in Sandown North Isle of Wight South East

This has to be one of the best establishments for hospitality I’ve ever been in. Today we arrived at lunchtime for a reservation I’d made and the promise of gluten and dairy free pancakes they’d said they’d make especially ( gluten and dairy free) only to be told they were closed —- BUT this is where a bad thing became an amazing thing.Instead of turning us away the owner checked the booking and realised an error had been made and they thought we were going tomorrow.He didn’t turn us away but welcomed us in and offered to rectify the booking error by still serving us. Oh wow did we all laugh and have some fun ( my husband simply stated he was waiting for me to get cross and walk out!). Instead we were treated to excellent service,delicious food ,choice of table,lol and marvellous hospitality. People never cease to amaze me with their actions and these owners deserve nothing but success in their relatively new venture. Perfect for special dietary needs and I should also mention the slice of gluten and dairy free cake I brought back with me,I literally waited for her to finish icing it ;can’t get much fresher than that. Thank you so much for having us,we will be back - on a day you’re actually open for customers.

Amazing food, went down last weekend to try the new menu and wow what lovely flavours and service by Richard. Fantastic burgers as well! will certainly be coming back

7 different, delicious flavours (personal favourite was the sour cherry🍒 😋) to choose from, £2.50 for a big filled palm tree cup and £1.50 for a refill! Lovely, helpful staff, beautiful location with seating and views over the beach. You can hire them for private functions, too!

Amazing food and amazing service! The deli is very cozy place on top of Sandown high street. The girls are very friendly and helpful. I highly recomend visiting thus little gem!

Small brewery doing their stuff in old shop. Definitely worth the visit if you like craft beer

Couldn’t fault the food ( lovely & fresh)we had the munch box between us & couldn’t finish it.. Good service for food, drinks service not so much Pornstar was a watery pre mix. Must add the food shack is a separate concern to the pub/hotel Tables chairs, benches & stools looked a bit tired but it’s coming to end of season. Toilets were a no go really very tired & old Parking opposite very reasonable

Freshly made loved the deli and the bbq hotdogs. Best chips in sandown!

We had the most amazing Sunday roast here today. The service was brilliant and the food was delicious - definitely up there with one of the best on the Island. Can’t wait to return!

Fab little place with a fantastic location on the beach. Walked the dog and stopped for coffee here every morning. Lots of people having breakfasts that looked good. A very relaxing place with friendly staff. Only downside is they closed Mondays and Tuesdays

Pleasantly surprised 😊 We all had a delicious meal at the Reef and the staff made the night. 10/10 for customer service and you guys deserved a 10% tip 😎👍🏼Great food and a lovely evening had by all of us. Many thanks guys 😀

Had breakfast here 5 mornings out of 7. Coffee is amazing and the bacon sandwich’s are fabulous. Lovely crusty brown bread and plenty of bacon. The views are priceless even on cloudy days.

I found this delightful pub by accident whilst looking for somewhere to eat. They happened to be doing an all you can eat curry buffet. It was delicious and good for money. The staff were lovely too.

I was served by a lovely lady saturday evening, soooo helpful, i wanted chips and a veggie burger, and she was honest and told me the chips are cooked in beef fat, i wouldnt have been impressed if i had eaten any after being a vegetarian for 42 years! Soooo much appreciated, i love honesty too, a big believer in it, also they did me some fries cooked using something else. Thankyou all again. Top notch service, after driving around what seemed like forever to try and park near, so all your kindness was very welcome. 😁

Popped in for a coffee and was made to feel very welcome. Used the gents toilet and it was so slean and pleasant smelling Sat outside and enjoed the atmosphere.

What a great Indian Restaurant ! Meant to write a review after visiting 4 months ago but circumstances took over. We are on a mission to dine at every Indian restaurant on the Island, rate and review them, so far 10 down and this ranks right up there with the best, on our scale coming in at a 9.5. Visited on a Wednesday night and surprised to see the place comfortably busy for October! Both the Staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming with a real desire to make sure you have an enjoyable night. Our meals: Crisp fresh poppadoms and chutneys, accompanied 2 very tasty Tandoori lamb chops for a starter, the obligatory bottle of Cobra to wash our meals down with. The mains: Naga chilli lamb (absolutely lovely, succulent and plenty of it with a great sauce and not all heat over taste , Chicken Madras again really good portion size plenty of juicy Chicken , Basmati rice, Saag Paneer perfect foil to the heat of the curries) and Cauliflower Bhaji (had a kick to it). Whilst still on our mission, we will be back again as could not really fault it.Well Done Eastern eye
