The best restaurants serving British food in Isle of Wight South East

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!

This is a great 'out of the way' place to stop and have a quick bite to eat or drink, the cafe is set in the grounds of the abbey and there is seating inside and out. A lovely location on any day. There is a small menu of food available. Plus homemade cakes and hot drinks

Excellent tea and cakes. Tea was full of flavour - both the English and the Earl Grey. The Bakewell Tart was superb - one of the best I’ve tasted. Very pleasant service and dogs welcome. The building is C17th and has real character.

What a fantastic place. Great food, excellent service (thanks Louise), great venue. Definitely recommend a stay or meal. Thankyou to all

Well stocked deli, located close to the ferry, and full of interesting, and very enjoyable produce. We can definitely recommend the quality wholemeal bread, as well as the pastries and particularly the cheesecake, and the delicious range of Pork pies. We loved the shop, and the staff were helpful - great customer service.

Breakfast baps are lovely. Good price and quality Some staff aren't very helpful though? Let the cafe down but the baps are worth it!

We had an amazing time, celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. The 5 courses were all beautifully presented and each one was explained to us in detail by the very attentive waiter. One course was not to our liking (raw fish, sushi style) but that's just down to our personal taste. The other 4 courses went down very well! We just had one flight of 5 wines between us, again explained in detail by a knowledgeable young sommelier, and all very palatable. The head chef came out to us to explain the final course - an incredible sticky, caramelised, apple tart, served with Isle of Wight blue cheese - a great combination. Just one niggle - I advised in advance that my husband couldn't eat salmon. However, the chef didn't get the memo (!) and 2 courses included small salmon additions that should have been omitted/substituted with something else. The chef did apologise to us at the end. A superb evening. We'll be back!

Reasonable prices and a lovely choice of snacks and drinks but better in the fine weather as the majority of seating is outside. The shortbread is to die for!

Visited today for a cream tea. Drinks served in dirty mugs, scones on polystyrene plates with one pot of jam and cream to share. Scone was like rubber. We only had one mouth and left. Disgraceful!!

Excellent food and great service from all the staff especially Leanne from the bar. Staff friendly.

Only a short stay in Shanklin, but fancied a Sunday Roast. Pleased we chose Tommy Bradshaw's . Superb plateful of lovely roast beef, with roast pots, a huge Yorkshire & stuffing ball. Also Gravy & some mash, maybe Celeriac, very tasty. Then the side dish of vegetables was served, enough for at least 3 if not 4 between 2 of us. Splendid lean, tender beef, and so many vegetables to accompany, we did struggle somewhat, but gave a good account of ourselves for a couple of OAPs. Highly recommend, would certainly visit again when we are on the Island.

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.

yates. what a classic. seriously, it's an absolute classic and staple of newport's mean streets, but it's time to mourn the sad death of yates as it is being replaced by a new restaurant of the same franchise owners.i went to yates recently but i am very sad to hear it is shutting down. value was special. food was special. everything else was a little special, it was sort of like a sprinkle of specials all around since it did have a good place in mon heart.very sad to hear it is shutting down. hacked off at whoever made the decision. bun them fully, bun them 100 and 10 percent.

We recently enjoyed dining at Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa. The hotel has a warm and inviting atmosphere and all the staff were welcoming. We dined in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful gardens and stunning views of the lake. Our meal was delicious and the presentation was fantastic. Our server, Dom was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you for recommending the irresistible sticky toffee pudding. Overall, we enjoyed a memorable dining experience at an elegant setting. We look forward to returning.

4 of us just went in for a drink & some sandwiches we ordered gammon ham sandwiches.then the lady came out and said they had run out of gammon ham.so we ordered mature cheddar cheese and salad.when it came out it was the thinnest bread you could get.the cheese had no taste to it at all.but you had loads of salad.when the lady came out to ask if everything was ok we said we have had a lot better.she just said sorry about that and just walked of we will definitely not going back.
