The outdoor seating is a real plus, especially with the blankets provided. It made a cool evening much more comfortable. The cocktails were lovely, and the whole vibe was very relaxed. A nice spot to unwind.

Gets super busy on sunny days, so definitely come early if you can. The vibe is really lively, love the energy here.

The family running this place are so welcoming. Service was spot on, they really made us feel at home.

Our go-to for the first night on the Isle of Wight. Everything&#39;s cooked fresh when you order, so there&#39;s a bit of a wait, but it&#39;s worth it. The food comes out piping hot and really hits the spot.

Perfect spot for a quick seaside bite. Grabbed a table outside, super relaxed vibe. Food came out fast, which was a plus. Had the fish and chips, decent portion. A bit pricey for what it is, but the view makes up for it. Solid lunch stop.

Lovely little shop, the staff were so helpful and let me try a few things before buying. Ended up getting a small box, and honestly, for the price, I was hoping for a slightly bigger portion. Still tasty though.

The dim sum selection here is solid. We tried the har gow and siu mai, both were fresh and well-made. The rest of the menu was a bit average, but I&#39;d come back just for the dim sum. Good for a quick business lunch.

The staff here are lovely. They took the time to chat about the wine list and suggested a really nice pairing for my steak. It made the whole evening feel relaxed and well looked after. A bit of a wait for the main, but they were apologetic.

The lunch deal is decent - haddock and chips, a side and a drink. The fish was fresh, but the portion felt a bit small.

The set menu for two was a good deal. They even helped with a birthday surprise, which was a nice touch.

The mackerel starter was fantastic, and the wine list had some great pairings for it. Service was as good as I remembered.

Been coming here for years. The arancini are consistently spot on - crispy outside, creamy inside. It&#39;s the one thing I always order. They&#39;ve never let me down.

Coffee&#39;s top notch, and Sue is a gem. She remembered my usual order, which is a nice touch when you&#39;re in a rush. Quick service, perfect for a fast lunch break.

My go-to spot in Cowes. The fresh food selection is fantastic. It gets packed but they manage the crowd well, so you&#39;re not waiting ages. Staff are on the ball.

The grilled white asparagus special was spot on. The forerib was a bit pricey but cooked just right.

I took my daughter for lunch as a school holiday treat and we had a lovely meal.  She loved the salad cart and choice of children&rsquo;s meals.

Always great food, fantastic service and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended Set in a beautiful building with a great bar area as well as well maintained gardens that are lovely to sit out in the summer months

Popped in for a flat white. Really good coffee, strong but smooth. Staff were nice and chill. Just a solid, friendly spot.

Service was spot on. The staff had a good sense of timing, attentive but never hovering. The sommelier&#39;s suggestion for a glass of red with the steak was exactly right&mdash;it really tied the meal together. A very smooth evening.

Staff were friendly, service was prompt. The outside seating is a plus on a warm day. It&#39;s a convenient spot for a straightforward lunch meeting.

The front garden is a total sun trap. Grabbed a pint out there on a sunny afternoon and it was just the spot. Could&#39;ve sat for hours. Nice little escape.

Such a welcoming, no-frills pub. It&#39;s always buzzing with a mix of students and locals, which gives it a great vibe for catching up with friends. The bar staff are young and super friendly, which really makes a difference. A proper spot for a relaxed evening.

Tried their roast. It&rsquo;s the best thing on the menu, honestly. Juicy, crispy skin, proper gravy. The rest was fine, but I&rsquo;d go back just for that.

This place gets busy, and I see why. The staff are lovely and the food is always just as you expect it to be. A solid, reliable spot when you want something familiar.

The mixed grill is huge, easily for two or three. The adana kebab was the standout for me &ndash; so flavourful and juicy. The rest was good too, but that one really hit the spot.

Been coming here for years. They know me by now, always friendly. Even when I&#39;m just grabbing a takeaway, they&#39;ll sometimes offer a little something while I wait. It&#39;s a nice touch.

The BBQ pork taquitos here are the reason I keep coming back. They&#39;re always perfectly crisp, and the pork filling is just the right balance of smoky and tender. Honestly, it&#39;s the one thing I order every single time.

The staff here are so lovely, especially with kids. Ruby and Daisy were really sweet with my little one, making her smile. Laura and Leah were also friendly and helpful. It&#39;s nice to see a team that genuinely seems to enjoy their work and connects with guests. Makes for a relaxed meal.

Perfect for a quick bite before work. Got the breakfast plate, added black pudding. Food&#39;s fresh, good portion for the price. Free coffee with Ikea Family before 9am is a nice perk. Gets the job done.
