The best restaurants in Isle of Wight South East

Lovely views and food On a windy day lovely calm cafe with wholesome food - definitely recommend. Good facilities all disabled

a table was booked for a Christmas lunch, for a group of ladies who attend a local pilates group. The beefeater was chosen as it is quite central, so would suit everybody. When we arrived we were told that most of the food was not available, in fact we were given a list full of the foods that we couldn't order !! including most of the food from the festive menu, we had booked the festive lunch ! The food was finally ordered, when it arrived it was slightly warm and rather tasteless. The table was not set for Christmas, although there was a box of Christmas crackers near by, we were told that they were for the festive menu, which we were due to have if they had any food in stock !!!! The only saving grace was the lovely lady who waited on our table, had it not been for her we would have walked out.....Thankyou Beefeater for ruining our Christmas outing

We sat 13 down for a post party Sunday lunch, excellent service, great food. Enjoyed it so much we are all returning with more guests in December.

Fantastic place, working away, forget the negative reviews, food portions large, including the starters, tasty and staff, owners were fantastic, I will be back 😀

Coeliac / Gluten free friendly A+ Had fish and chips here yesterday which were freshly prepared. Having Coeliac disease i am always nervous when eating out as i get a reaslly bad reaction if i have any gluten. basically vomitting for 3-4 hours and out of action for the next 12hrs or so. Anyway, the chef assured me that they took lots of steps to ensure food would not be cross contaminated such as cooking in seperate oil etc etc. Really good food, no reaction and great value so thank you and i will be back. 100% recommended!

We ate here on a Saturday night, and it was great. The staff were very friendly. Although the menu was quite small the quality was excellent and well presented. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere of the Mortal Man

Service was a little slow and we had to chase a few things but I think the young waiter was new so he’s forgiven. We sat outside for the sunset which was spectacular but then once it got a bit chilly we came inside. Food was very good, well cooked and good choices. Would recommend

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.

Lovely little cafe, nothing was too much trouble. Extensive menu, something for everyone. Can’t understand some of the reviews on here as we loved it. Staff were very friendly. We had the sausage and bacon baguette, filled as much as it could be and served with salad and tortilla chips. I struggled with the size of the meal. Ham sandwiches were beautiful, lots of very good ham and served with crisps. Cream tea was more than ample, beautiful home made scone. Ice cream sundaes were HUGE, looked delicious. Dogs are allowed inside too. Can’t find a single fault with this little gem

Ordered a takeaway from here as we usually do. Have never had issues in the past however got our order home to find they had given us 1 dish wrong. Called up to have this rectified and a rude lady put the phone down on us. Called again and was asked for number so they could phone us back. At this point the 3 dishes we did order were now getting cold. Went back to collect dish that they didn’t give us and was met by hostile rude customer service. By the time this dish made it home the rest of it was cold. Won’t be ordering again from here.

Tasty fresh food at a good price. Very good portions. I’m intolerant to dairy and gluten but Tower Bank Arms bent over backwards to accommodate me for breakfast and dinner. Stunning food and a lovely atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Just had ‘fish’ and chips from Ocean View fish and chip shop, Ventnor. Fish was uneatable. Both the batter and fish were hard and greatly not worth the price. Terrible.

Stopped here for a quick drink ended up staying a few hours and enjoying a beautiful meal. Really yummyand excellent service , will be sure to head there again when on the island.

Very accommodating for a group of 13 hikers, provided an excellent meal and great drinks at the end of our long walk. Everyone enjoyed their freshly cooked meals. Great menu.

I've been eating at Ryde Fried Chicken for years. The name has changed but the staff and the food has not... Both are always excellent!!
