"This is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the menu was fantastic for both me (vegan) and my friend (coeliac). We both went for the Vish and Chips, and can honestly say this is probably my favourite meal I've had since turning vegan. Fish and chips is really the only thing I miss as it's hugely nostalgic for me (reminds me of my grandad) and I've never had anything come close to recreating it, until I ate here. The batter was so crispy all over, the banana blossom is so close in texture to fish, and the taste was absolutely spot on too. Even the sides were great the peas tasted spectacular, and the tartare sauce was delicious. The desserts were spectacular, and again, plenty of options for all sorts of dietary requirements. The owner even had a long chat with me about how to make the Vish at home, which she didn't need to do, and I can't wait to try it myself (I really wish I lived on the Isle of Wight so I could have this whenever). All in all, an amazing experience."

"I absolutely adore this place. I was on a spontaneous day trip to the island and couldn't resist stopping at what I believe is the best small cafe on the Isle of Wight. Many thanks to Kyle, the talented chef who prepared the perfect Jäger chicken burger that I highly recommend. The cafe is located right on the beach and has the most welcoming and friendly staff. It's such a beautiful spot."

"The staff was very friendly, they had no diary mills for coffee and made a delicious pumpkin spice ice-cold latte (in July vegan food options include; vegan sausage and cheese panini, vegan cheese and onion Chutney Panini, “vegan one” waffle (toms, avo, sausage, cheese, balsamico drizzle, hummus and avocado waffle, vegan chocolate waffle. We had the cheese and onion panini and the vegan a waffle. Both were beautiful, the waffle reminded me a bit like a Yorkshire-Pid, only drawback is that the waffle could have done with a bit of Saucy to go with it."

"I had passed this coffee 'shack ' everyday on my early morning coastal walks but it wasn 't until we were leaving that I finally persuaded his nibs to stop here. We will be back next time we are in IoW! Delicious raspberry white chocolate sponge for me the breakfasts though looked smelled delicious. Yes, there is a fantastic view but to be honest the quality of the cake I suspect the rest of the food sets this place apart from many coffee shops. The number of reserved tables demonstrates, how popular this place is well deserved."

"My wife and I have visited all of the Character Inns on the island and in each the staff have been very friendly. The Caulkheads is no exception, though this is our least favourite of the group. Despite being the nearest geographically to where we live on the island. It is perhaps because we have visited at quieter times, in winter, when the pub was still rather cold, that it has seemed less inspiring. Though admittedly, we have been disappointed by the food here too, which arrived slowly and less warm than I would have liked. perhaps again, due to being during colder weather, more difficult to keep hot. We haven't given up on The Caulkheads, we will try another visit sometime, perhaps in the Summer months."

"Had a lovely meal at the Coast bar, we had mussels which were delicious and steak which was also great! Cooked to a perfect medium rare, only problem was I hate garlic and made the stupid mistake of not asking for the garlic butter to be left off. But I ate it anyway as punishment for being so stupid. Service was great and we thought that the prices for such a nice restaurant where very reasonable, even the drink prices were great, would definitely recommend."

"Aquí tienes la reseña en inglés: Recently, I had an excellent dinner at The Lifeboat. From the moment I walked in, the experience was very good. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, which is always appreciated. Everything was perfectly in order, contributing to a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The service was another highlight. The speed and quality were exceptional. Not only was I served efficiently, but the food arrived quickly and in perfect condition. This combination of speed and high quality in the dishes really made the dinner memorable. In summary, The Lifeboat excels in cleanliness, order, and service that combines speed and quality. Definitely an experience I recommend for those looking for a pleasant and hassle free dinner. ¿Hay algo más en lo que pueda ayudarte?"

"Not been here for ages and think its maybe changed owners a couple of times since our last visit. The decor is good, not fussy, just clean lines and comfortable furniture/furnishings. Dog friendly and the pub dog an excellent example of well behaved pooch! We...didn't have a booking, but there was a table free for a couple of hours before the reservation and we only wanted a main course, so staff happily accommodated us. Varied menu with plenty of things we enjoy so we were spoilt for choice. There was also a specials menu and as it was Sunday, there were roasts or braised pheasant. Not something you see everyday and something I ordered and really enjoyed. Veges were perfectly cooked. Hubbie had chicken carbonara, he said it was the best he had ever had and I will have to step up my game next time I cook it for us indoors! Portions huge, so I couldn't try a dessert, but I'm certainly not complaining. Didn't need to eat again today. Staff were lovely, really friendly and helpful. We will be back. So will everybody else we think, so make sure you book!"

The Alamo

"We popped here for Lunch and were seated straight away. We ordered a few small lunch bits to share and drinks. Drinks arrived in good time, food took a little while to arrive but we weren't in a rush so no big deal. As we...were seated we soon realised there was some sort of family drama unfolding in-front of us, one of the waitresses stormed outside and was ranting and raving outside the window, there were what we assume were staff members kids crying. Staff telling the kids off or to be quiet, different staff members rushing around to talk to the girl outside and then back in. A man then came in with a drill and started doing some DIY on the bar, which was not ideal to listen to. To be honest, it was a bit chaotic and made us feel as we were intruding. It was like the restaurant was open, but they weren't ready to be open as it was just a lot of chaos. We soon ate up, paid and left. They seem to have great reviews so maybe we caught them on an off day, but it definitely wasn't a relaxed lunch as we had hoped for."

"Visited Ganders in St Helens for lunch today, our first visit though won’t be our last. The welcome we received was lovely and our experience got even better whilst we were there. The menu is varied so plenty to choose from, we chose a fish dish which was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection, served with amazing roast potatoes, so crispy with a divine soft centre plus a selection of steamed veggies and tartar sauce. All beautifully presented, very much enjoyed with a glass of white wine. For dessert we chose the pavlova and sticky toffee pudding both of which were truly yummy. Thank you Ganders for a wonderful meal and for the great service we received. 5 star for sure."

Michelangelo

"My wife and I dined in Ristorante Michelangelo on a busy Friday evening – the restaurant was packed and it was very noisy. We had an antipasto sharing board to start, which had a selection of cold meats with sundried tomatoes, and it was delicious....For our main course, my wife had a pizza and I had spaghetti bolognaise (you cannot get much more Italian than that Both were excellent, as were the tiramisu and panna cotta we had for dessert. It was a lovely meal, but rather spoiled by a very noisy party of six who were sitting right in the middle of the restaurant. One couple asked to be moved to another table to get away from them, but this was not possible as all the smaller tables were situated around the large central table. Perhaps the restaurant should consider putting large parties more out of the way to enable other diners to fully enjoy their meals."

"I am 58 years old and I have estimated that in that time I have had thousands of roast beef dinners, The Portland's roast beef is the best I have ever had, perfectly medium rare, perfect veg and a great selection of real ales. Now we have all been to a pub and had a nice meal then gone back a few months or a year later, the management or chef has changed and the quality has gone downhill, not here I have been going for the last 7 years and every time it's amazing, I think they have chained their chef to the cooker because it's the same one! I recommend this pub to all my friends and family and we keep returning. Thank you for another lovely meal and great service. Please could you move the whole pub to the mainland so we can go weekly : p.s. Please bring the same chef!"

That's good, so fleshy. the prawn salad is incredible and the isle of wight tastes so fresh. I think you sticky toffee pudding might be the best I cost. the owner is charming and the staff so friendly. 10/10"
