The best restaurants in Cowes North Isle of Wight South East

The food was fabulous, on Tuesdays they currently offer gluten free which was perfect for my daughter. The menu was a giggle to read and the service quick and friendly. They also offered great chicken nuggets for our non fish lover as well. Really great - would heartily recommend.

Good food, limited menu. Flat iron steak a bit on the small side. Pork Mac and cheese a little too big. 2nd floor a good spot for view. Worth a shot.

Absolutely shocking (pardon the pun). Went in here with my partner after a party and ordered a drink each before heading to a wall opposite the bar to drink and chat (you can see the wall in question in the attached photo). As we were chatting we went to lean against the wall and were hit with an electric shock. Accidentally I then touched the wall again and was promptly hit with another pretty painful electric shock. I looked at the wall in question and it was clearly damp and appeared that touching any part of the wall around the light switch would electrocute you. Obviously not wanting anyone else to experience this I informed a member of the bar staff and we were told that they were aware of the issue and that was it. If you’re aware of the issue why are not blocking off that wall immediately and making sure no one goes near it?! Irritated by his lack of response we then informed a bouncer who gave another nonchalant response and said they were also aware of it but nothing they could do currently. Absolute rubbish. Block the wall of so no one gets zapped!!! Disgusting attitude by the staff who clearly don’t care about the clientele. I wonder how long this wall has been in this state and I fear for the next person who brushes against it.

Only stopped for coffee but have to say it is the best I have had on our holiday so far. Highly recommend.

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.

Called in 2 real ales to choose from didnt stay for another :(. Only seemed to be locals in dont think visitors got much of a welcome. Wont be back.

After reopening again in 2023 after its closure in 2022 everything seemed to be going well until late in 2023 when despite not having any information that it had closed, it shut one night never to reopen. No notices in the windows. No announcement like last time to tell their loyal customers that they'd decided to close down. And now it seems it HAS closed down & is being turned into flats! Well, there's a lot of unhappy people from over the last 30 years who would have liked to have been told 😔 Bad form Chip Ahoy....

Lovely room that was comfortable, great shower, complementary bottled water and the breakfast was devine. Pub in the evening was busy and served a good pint of HSB. Great value too. Definitely recommend and return again

nice chill amptosphere the coffee i got was top tier service was fast and the people were lovely will be returning

I would just like to say a massive Thankyou to the Landlords Andy and Nicola for the support in accomodating at short notice 2 lovely ladies who were staying in an air b n b above my shop which they had to vacate due to flooding.The landlords went above and beyond to support them and myself and to make us feel welcome and supported by our local pub ...THANKYOU for your kindness

We had a poor dining experience, one meal in particular, the stir fry chicken was very strange with slices of raw tomato and bottled silverside onions. The other meals were indifferent, chips not really hot, a real bugbear with me as it's something that's so easy to get right. They close tomorrow until March so were obviously just not that bothered and keen to get off home. It's a shame as it's an attractive venue with live music and a real nautical vibe.

Rude staff, cold food, dripping wet in juices, was given salad when we asked for the food to come without… over priced slop, served with a bad attitude. Would never give them my custom again.

Booked a two nights stay here (weekday) during half term for myself and two children. The rooms had recently been refurbished and there was the nice new carpet smell. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed, Tea making, TV, Wi-Fi etc. The en-suite was lovely although the bathroom door could have done with a squirt of WD40 as it was a little squeaky. We didn’t use the Bar, only to check in and the staff member was very polite and kind, offered to carry my bags etc. there’s a separate entrance for guests so you don’t have to go thru the bar area unless you want to. I was a bit dubious booking a room in a pub in the centre of town, I was concerned about noise but, I needn’t have been, we weren’t disturbed at all. Perfect location, we used the Red Jet to get over to the Isle and it’s not even a ten minute walk to the pub. Very central and surrounded by eateries and supermarkets Would definitely recommend. Would stay again.

I had the Pollo Al Masala and all I can say is wow. Absolutely amazing, service was great. I would highly recommend Toninos to anyone.

We called ahead to book a table which we were pleased to find was ready when we arrived (particularly as a bigger party on a Saturday night) - however, we were seated on our own on the first floor in a room with no heating and the windows had been left open so it was very cold. The service was reasonably quick and the waiters were polite and friendly. We ordered a range of items from the menu and unfortunately found that all of the food was exceptionally disappointing. Everything had a sweet taste to it but had no other flavours or spices (and most things had heavy red food colouring). The only decent thing was the butter naan (but even this was sweet). The portions were very small which was surprising given the price for each dish. The restaurant was quite narrow to get in and out of (with tables very close to the door) which meant we struggled to get in and out with the pushchair - and suspect it would be difficult for someone with a wheelchair or difficulties with mobility. We would not return to this restaurant again and wish we had paid attention to the reviews before deciding to eat here.
