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

Upmarket wine tasting. Sommelier Tom and his wine-panneled (!) room for an hour long tasting sessions are impeccable. For maximum enjoyment, book one of six rooms for an overnight stay and check out one of the local restaurants within walking distance.

Enjoyed an amazing cream tea here. Beautiful spot right on the esplanade, a real sun trap. The home made scones were lovely, and the service welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

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!

Get the pandan doughnuts, you will not regret it!!! Honestly, this place is now the top 10 places of delicious food I've ever eaten! We asked for a window seat so we could have nice sunny sea view, however a table of 5 was arriving so they had it booked. The waitress was very lovely and explained this nicely to us. We had half lobster, scallops, japanese coffee cocktail (served warm!!), and pandan doughnuts. everything was cooked to perfection, the lobster and scallops were melt in the mouth. the potatoes were so soft and buttery, and the dessert just entered to be one of my faves of all time!! I would get a day trip ferry just to eat here!

Excellent. Food was delicious. A very popular place on the Esplanade so worth booking in advance.

We visited on the opening day of the new season, and they were having a few technical problems but the lady who was obviously the proprietor was overcoming them smoothly. We had a crab pastie and a mackerel ciabatta. Both were utterly delicious, but small portion sizes for £7.50 and £9.50.

Best breakfast I’ve had in Ventnor and easily one of the best I’ve had on the island. Staff really friendly and helpful and a great view over the beach.

A nice visit for a champagne tea and cakes deal, which came by way of a retirement gift. Staff were lovely. Food was good, but glad we didn’t pay for it as there was not a lot of it for £43 per person.

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 .

A must for lunch ! We both had crab salad . A mountain of fresh leaves home made slaw and fresh crab on top served with crusty bread. Lovely Sea front table uninterrupted views out to sea

Should be amazing sadly quality was not with us today. Staff can be really pleasant. The outside is to die for, food just not where it should be . Toilets unsure.

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting The Plantation Room Cafe, which accommodated my gluten and dairy allergies exceptionally well. Graham, who assisted me, was not only attentive to my dietary requirements but also very personable. The salad was delightful—I could have easily gone back for more. The customer service provided by Graham was outstanding; he engaged us in conversation about the island and all the amenities the venue offers, clearly showcasing his passion for his work. Although we had already planned our day and were merely stopping by for a takeaway lunch, we are looking forward to returning to the Isle of Wight and visiting again.

Delicious, well made cocktails. Fabulous tapa. Really friendly staff. Great service and atmosphere. Lively atmosphere

A lovely visit - the cafe alone was worth it.

Very disappointing last Friday evening - the only place for the fish (rock hard centimetre thick batter, dry and tough inside) was the bin. Completely inedible and a waste of money. It's a shame, as usually it is OK.
