Oysters are to die for! Great gem right next to the ocean. Definitely

Expensive, but such a great experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious-feeling, even with the roof closed on a March day ('24). Amazingly attentive and friendly staff. Great food and great cocktails. Some surprisingly good value wine too. Plant-based menu available. Dog-friendly. The "Hut Truck" from Yarmouth was easy to arrange, and flexible when thinking about the return journey. Just an all-round special and memorable meal. Highly recommended!

Came for our friends 30th, first day of the 2024 season and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing food and service. Michael was our waiter and he was so friendly, polite and patient with a group of 6 girls! So thank you for making it a special experience for us all.

great place in the summer season for fish and crustaceans ?

Starters were OK, too many obnoxious champagne boaty folk , mains overpriced ,staf moody , better food at smoking lobster in cowes, or the crab and lobster in bembridge ,

One of best lunches I've/we ever had! Booked for a friends birthday, we received a lovely warm welcome from all the staff, the whole experience, as that is what it is, an amazing experience was simply brilliant! we opted to share pretty much every starter followed by the best surf and turf around and a sharing bass for mains (and oysters). All of the food looked and tasted superb! The numerous cocktails we had were as good as they come, Personally I believe you get what you pay for and the Hut delivered and beyond! We're so lucky to have this place a short boat trip away, thank you team Hut!

Visited a few times this summer with friends and absolutely faultless every time. There really isn't any other place I know of in this country that compares. The staff enjoy what they do and it really shows, the food is outstanding whether its a burger or the lobster and the atmosphere is second to none. Thank you for all your hard work and I can't wait to return next year!

The first visit was disappointing so thought I would try again in the hope of a better experience as good seafood restaurants are few and far between on the Isle of Wight. But nope, this time was probably worse. I can only imagine that the people who can justify the prices here are those arriving in yachts with money to burn! As someone who enjoys seafood with a good idea of average restaurant prices, the food here is ridiculously overpriced and the service is pitiful. £70 for a lobster and £120 - 140 for fish of the day is just idiocy. The other less expensive dishes also overpriced. We came on 23rd October and the two female waitresses were poor. No knowledge of the food we asked about. Not exactly a huge menu to learn about for your job. Also being made to think you are asking stupid questions about the size of food you are paying for is just not on. Suggestion.. train staff up properly to meet basic customer service standards include natural friendliness and being made to feel genuinely welcome as customers. The staff were also overheard by us complaining to each other that we decided not to pay the service charge. Seriously, if you're gonna have a moan about customers do it discreetly, duh! Not that declining a large, undeserved service charge warrants any complaint. It's discretionary guys. Hut, up your game.
We were walking down Colwell Bay Beach and stumbled across this hidden gem. As a family of 5 we initially were just going to have coffee but their menu lured us into having one of the best meals we have ever had. We had lots of sharing starters, the gambas was out of this world. We all had mains, veal, tandoori bream and a couple of burgers. One or two of us even had desert. Drinks wise the kids had mocktails, which they loved and the adults tried a few of their cocktails. The hut Painkiller was incredible . Staff were very accommodating and friendly and service was seamless. Overall this restaurant was an amazing find and we can’t wait to visit again.

This place is by far the best restaurant and dining experience I have ever encountered. From start to finish our experience was fantastic. First off their friendly and conscientious tender team out on the water put your mind at ease when it comes to dropping anchor, they are a great welcoming party! The restaurant and bar staff couldn’t have done more to accommodate us and ensure we had the most magical experience. Catering in a unique way for a vegetarian in our party, along with some outstanding knowledge of food, wine and cocktails. The food on our last few visits has yet again stepped up a notch with some incredible fish options as well as the usual favourites. We have struggled to find a better restaurant on the south coast, or even the uk when it comes to menu choice, ingredients and overall standards. Top that all off with the feeling that you are nestled in the French Riviera or in an exclusive Côte d’Azur anchorage bay. When in fact you are only 30 minutes from Cowes! The views, location and vibe at the Hut continues to make it magical. We can’t wait for our next visit in 2024.

Our families favourite restaurant in the UK - we spend weekends In the Isle of Wight solely to have a lunch at the hut. Brilliant food, a great vibe but most importantly the best staff team I’ve ever come across.

From my first experience to my most recent, have always been so impressed with The Hut. The staff are always so very accommodating and efficient, the hut truck never fails to put a smile of my family’s face, the atmosphere is always spot on and the food never fails to impress. It’s the perfect setting with the perfect ingredients for a great lunch, dinner or night out. Having a place on the isle, I have been there enough times to highly recommend and rate it as a must to try… James

Had an absolutely fantastic meal here with the family. Food was superb and cooked beautifully. Service was fantastic - always there but not obtrusive. It really was a memorable experience.
