Had our Christmas eve lunch here. We had a nice table with a nice sea view. Very friendly staff and excellent customer service despite being a busy service for them. Food was really delicious,except the crab remekins should have more crab in it given the price for the dish. Other than this we definitely will visit again and is highly recomended if you ever visit Isle of wight..
We’ve eaten here a couple of times and sat and enjoyed drinks many more. Just love the location and views whatever time of year. Definitely on our ‘go to’ place to visit when on the island. Staff friendly, menu and food great, especially if you’re a fish foodie. We had the plaice which was pan fried and also the prawn and crab linguine. Both really tasty as w were the chunky chips. Love it and will definitely be back on our next visit.
Had a great meal before catching the ferry home after a fab week on the IOW. The perfect ending. The staff were so friendly, the service super quick, the food simply delicious and the view was stunning. Highly recommended!
Did not eat here as popped in for drinks on a walk from Apley with the dog, however the location was full and the food being served looked fresh and tasty. Had a couple of Island ales and chilled out in the sun on the outdoor seating opposite, enjoying the wonderful views in the sun 🌞.
Booked for Sunday lunch. Great relaxed atmosphere (despite it being very busy!) and friendly, attentive service. Really recommend the roast Sirloin of Beef, it was cooked beautifully and all the veggies super flavourful. Will definitely be back, thank you!
