Enjoyed lunch in the lovely Beach Cafe yesterday but it's so much more than a cafe. The food was delicious and plentiful, the staff although busy were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely go back.

The Yarbridge Inn.

Brading, Sandown

Review of the Yarbridge Inn, Yarbridge Cross, Brading, Isle of Wight Six years since we had dined in the Yarbridge Inn - the last time that we were on the island. Check out the earlier review (28June17) with all those references to the cherished memories that (typical of families) cover all those places much loved and appreciated from the time that we were all kids on those long summer holidays in Brading and the surrounding country with Mum (and sometimes Dad too). There are not many early family times that are remembered better. In June 2023 we’d shared a table at the Yarbridge Inn with the same couple from earlier – a much treasured brother (and his wife) – with whom we had once shared those early summer months - on the Downs above Brading, on the beaches at Sandown and on the steam trains that once serviced the Ryde to Ventnor line. None of your ex-London Central Line tube trains in those days. (Who would have believed it – if you’d have suggested as such – the tube trains followed the electrification of the line in 1967 – that’s almost 60 years ago!) Our previous review had been highly complimentary and the restaurant, table, food, etc. was exactly the same this time too; comfortable dining room in which to eat, prompt/friendly services, high quality presentation/foods and great eating. We’d chosen to share lunch – a couple of easy hours relaxing in the corner with a relatively empty dining room around us and the bar to one side. There was time to reflect upon those earlier times – well, the original two of us – and to appreciate the changes from the perspective of lives subsequently led in different parts of the world. The one who had become a resident of the island and the other who had moved away permanently – and then chosen to shift countries on a fairly regular basis – as life/employment opportunities changed. As kids the Yarbridge Inn had always been there at the end of the village where the cross-roads lead to Brading Downs in one direction and to the long route up-and-over the Culver Downs through Yaverland to Sandown in the other. We’d sometimes walk this route in preference to the easier direct (and much shorter) route Brading-Sandown. Earlier in the week three of us had visited the Roman Villa south of Brading – a first time for us. The museum features a map of the Isle of Wight (called ‘Vectis’ by the Romans). It shows Brading Haven with access to marine shipping – sea route that effectively isolated Culver Downs and the surrounding country as a separate island that was called ‘Bembridge Isle’ through to the medieval period. In the 16th C. the seaways became unusable. Then a causeway was built and, in the late 19 C. the estuary/marshland was drained for access to the land/soil. Lean out over the bridges of the railway or the Yar river next to the Yarbridge Inn and reflect upon the sea inlets that once dominated the country. Choose from a menu of options – whether those that determine life, location, routines or, in the case of the restaurant, the meals provided. There were four menus available – two chalk boards for the day and two formal printed cards. On offer were light/smaller meals (for a set £10.50) and also larger plates with more varied choice of lunch meals (in the range £10-£20). There were also starter and dolce options for those who enjoyed their food (and could space the dishes with time in between to thoroughly enjoy the food/table/company/time.) Our approach came with age/experience – following the mood of the table. It was a pleasant place to be and, crucially, we didn’t know when we’d be back. Go for the moment then. We talked and ate, and talked more. Eat regularly at a place and, typically, you get to know mine host and those in the team that front the public interface – taking orders, serving, covering the cash desk, etc. Twice in six years doesn’t provide that kind of opportunity, but there’s a public ‘Welcome’ note available that introduces Family Fox and the key people running the restaurant/bar. Check out the photo attached … and, of course, complimenti to management and those wh

The Culver Haven Inn

Culver Down Rd, Sandown

Lovely pub, great Sunday roast, and good service even though it was busy. Definitely book a table if it's likely to be a busy day, we didn't but got lucky and only sat outside for a few minutes for a space inside to open up.There's a car park just beyond the pub, so there's no need to park along the road as some people were doing.Keep your eye out for the turn on the way up the hill. It comes up quickly, and there's nowhere to turn around before the end of the road if you miss it.Parking: Just beyond the pub, there's a free car park and some spots on the roadside.

The Garlic Farm Shop And Restaurant

Mersley Ln, Newchurch, Sandown

Loved this little farm shop. We didn't tour anything other than the shop but we really like the selection and the fact you can taste before you buy. Like all small farm shops it's a little pricey so being able to taste before you buy really makes a difference. We spent about £30 and it was money well spent. If we visit the Isle of Wight again we will definitely pop back. Its also worth mentioning that the the only reason we went to the Garlic Farm Shop in the first place was that it was recommended by family who had visited before.

Did what it said on the tin. Reasonable pub food in a comfortable place. My partner had gammon which he said was exactly what he expected and enjoyed. I had scampi and chips and there was definitely a decent portion. Liked the table service with the call button. Average price, the only thing I was surprised at was £4.20 for a pint of coke... That's too high imo.

Nice hotel . Lovely professional staff . The room I stayed in was dated and you could hear generator day and night. The cabaret was mediocre some good some not so good. With the hotel having such a huge dance floor and very big room it was cold at night . The food was amazing shame no cocktails only one per night of hotels choice.Over all we had a nice time . This was a coach holiday.
