The best restaurants in Totland Isle of Wight South East

We hired these guys for a post-covid wedding party and they were brilliant! Food was incredible, people kept talking about it for days! They were kind, flexible, quick to reply and affordable! Can't reccomend more!

Amazing place with amazing food and staff

Well what a fantastic service we went for. Yes it comes with the high price tag, but when you go for a treat date afternoon and make it a special occasion its worth the splurg. We were looked after from the minute we arrived. A cute placement card to our lovely presented table. We enjoyed the prawns bowl and taco starter with the lemon sole main washed down with some fizz and cocktails. Becs and rhys went out of their way to give us top notch hospitality. The dishes had a good wait between the courses and the cocktails james made were fab. Every part of the menu was described perfectly. We will be back, thankyou

We stumbled across Warren farm shop and coffee on our way to the needles. What a find! The owners were absolutely lovely, the coffee was divine, the food was freshly made and delicious. Great setting for kids and older adults alike. We left our cars and walked over the hill to the needles which was so much nicer than had we parked in the Needles car park. Could not rate this place more highly we came on consecutive days as we loved it so much!

We stopped here for a welcome break on a rainy walk to the Needles. We followed the cheery sign from the footpath and were delighted to find the cafe kiosk and outdoor/indoor comfortable seating area. We had excellent barista coffees and locally produced soft drinks with homemade cakes (including a fantastic gluten free chocolate shortbread). Cheered us up for the last little bit of the walk!

Amazing views. Straightforward no frills menu serving good honest pub food. We had scampi, kids sausage & chips, southern fried chicken burger, fudge cake, sticky toffee pudding and chocolate sundae. Polite and helpful staff. Food appeared quickly.

I put off writing a review as I thought my experience was a one off issue, however after speaking with others over Xmas about some good (and not so good) places to eat on the island, I found that apparently it wasn’t a one off issue. The waterfront is blessed to have one of the most beautiful locations to dine out at…that’s the last PRO comment. I went to TWF with my husband for a special occasion, we both enjoy fish dishes and being near the sea, so It made sense to go there. We ordered some fish dishes, when the food arrived, the presentation was impressive but the taste was meh. The meals all seemed as if they had been microwaved just before being sent out. Here was the final straw - since the food wasn’t amazing, we left a far bit, we waited over 30mins for a waitress to remove our plates, we asked 2 more times for someone to remove them and were always told “sure let me just do something” then seeing the same waitress cackling away with another waitress in the main room. Got to a point where I waved over to them and asked for the bill. SUDDENLY she was free… I’ve worked as a waitress and understand how busy and stressful it can be running around but the waiters at TWF are rubbish, they don’t care about good service and it shows. The gag was that even as we paid at the table, the plates were still there not being moved. I wanted to try a dessert but that feeling changed after waiting over 30mins. As I mentioned at the beginning, I’ve heard from others how the staff at TWF are shockingly bad, apparently the manager as well (not from my experience but from others) I love the island and can think of many amazing restaurants in the area that are doing a great job at offering beautiful atmosphere, delicious food AND great service. You won’t get all 3 of those at TWF.

Dived into this cafe bar restaurant because of the bad weather on New Years day. It was busy and well staffed. Nice menu. Four of us had the fish and chips lunch special which was excellent. They make a very good capuchino too. Friendly and efficient staff. Pay and display parking out front. Access via narrow road so take care. Over looks the sea and from here you can see the wreck of the crashed speed boat from 3 odd years ago. A must place to eat if visiting the IOW.

This little cafe sits right by the sea. The staff are really lovely and welcoming, despite finishing food for the day they still agreed to cook for us. Ham, egg and chips was amazing and our little one was very happy with his sausage, chips and beans. The menu is pretty extensive and there was some lovely cakes on offer too. Reasonably priced with proper mugs of tea. Toilets were also spotless which is also imperative!

What a great evening with friends sharing our amazing takaway. Best chinese on the Island. The spring rolls are king size and delicious.

Fish was dry, chips were hard, and the batter very soggy. Pay good money.. not happy at all. Shame as been before and has been very good.

The food was delicious , the staff were polite and friendly , definitely worth a visit. We had lunch on the Saturday and roast dinner on the Sunday.

The peas were not green and the chips were solid and cold. The atmosphere was awful. A totally unpleasant experience all round.
