Stopped for a coffee/ Tea and cakes with my Dad but decided to try the award winning beer and was not disappointed. Sat outside listening to waves crashing and seeing the view.

A really nice little cafe right on the beach.

Wife and I arrived for breakfast at 10.15. This is the IOW Garlic Farm! Popular attraction. People tend to judge people/events/environments within 60 seconds or very much less than that in most cases. I arrived in the restaurant and very nearly immediately walked out. Why? The immediate initial welcome. There wasn't one. Two lady members of staff, + a guide(??) fanning guide books taking to these two waiting staff .... meanwhile for 38 seconds we were ignored whilst they carried on chatting. They saw us. We were three feet away......but they carried on chatting. Bloody infuriating. Eventually we were sat, ordered, the food was quite brilliant. Presentation, quality, taste. Wow. The kitchen performed superbly. Accent on garlic but the mushrooms, tomatoes, are a combination to die for. Crikey they were good. We spent £46 on breakfast and £63 in the gift shop, the latter after we'd walked round the garlic farm itself. Perhaps the "management" up the stairs in the corner holding court in a seemingly authoritarian manner of self importance might ponder my spend per head? You were lucky to get it, you nearly got nothing at all. Never forget the basics, people buy people first, if that happens, they might just buy your product. Tony Perrin, West Sussex.

Delicious cod n scampi bites with perfectly cooked chunky chips. With friendly helpful staff serving and a perfect beach view with the sounds of breaking waves.Even the seagulls were perfectly behaved!Well done and thank you ?

Not the type of place we would normally choose but it definitely does what it says on the tin! Younger granddaughter was taken on a tour of several places and their menus, and (rightly as it turned out) chose this one over other "smarter" places. Serves good fast food, toasties, ice cream etc as well as the necessary cold draught beer. Nothing fancy but that's not what's needed for a family day at the beach. We would definitely return.

Stopped off here for some Coffee, chips and Ice Cream. The coffee and chips were Fantastic and come in a decently sized portion. The ice cream was ok. Lovely views and staff were attentive.
We’re local and we love it. Relaxed atmosphere, full of sunshine vibes from staff and location. Love a breakfast here and son loves cheesy chips!

Avoid this place….. waited over 45 minutes for lunch having been told a 15 minute wait. Had to request the table to be cleaned following previous customers which was met with a huff and a puff. Having a hungry 3 year old we asked staff if our food was ready and was told they thought it was a take away and it was now cold, I asked if it would be possible to be re heated and the answer we got was “how am I supposed to do that” the only option was to get a refund which was eventually given with no apology from rude staff. Will not be returning to this place and will not be recommending

The food is here amazing. I had the chickpea ciabattas and chunky chips and it was probably the best lunch I had while I was in Isle of Wight. Conveniently located, welcoming staff and mouth watering food. If you are sunbathing and want to get lunch in Sandown Beach, highly recommend this place.

As our hotel was along the road, we had a walk along the esplanade and came across this gem of a café at the end of the beach. It was a late sunny afternoon so we treat ourselves to a bottle of wine, sat in the outside area and watched the world go by. Our only criticism is that is closes 5p.m, but we were allowed to remain seated and finish our drinks at a leisurely pace.
Just popped in for coffeeNice cafe on the beach.
