The staff were so friendly and helpful, giving us great tips on what to see nearby. It really felt like the heart of the neighbourhood.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always well-stocked with Isle of Wight products. Nice to know the shop supports the Abbey.

Spacious, clean, and comfortable. The orange colour scheme is quite nice. A solid spot for a relaxed business lunch. Service was efficient, food arrived promptly. The grilled sea bass was well-prepared. Good for a straightforward meal without fuss.

Love how much space there is here! Plenty of tables inside and out. It&#39;s perfect for catching up with a group - you never feel cramped. You order at the counter and they bring it over. Staff were really nice.

Great spot by the seafront. Drinks are cheap and they&#39;ve got a massive selection.

Stumbled upon this cosy spot in Shanklin. The wine list really impressed me - found a lovely local white that paired beautifully with my fish. Staff were friendly, food was tasty. A solid meal.

The fish pie was absolutely packed with flavour, really generous portion too. Just found the mash topping a bit too thick for my liking, but still a solid dish.

Booked for three nights, right on the Shanklin seafront which was ideal. Ate in the restaurant each evening. The portions were really generous for the price, which was a pleasant surprise. My partner and I both had the fish and chips one night &ndash; very filling. Good value for a seaside stay.

Huge portions here, perfect for a quick bite. The seafood platter is massive, easily enough for two. They even threw in a free bottle of wine. Got in and out fast during my lunch break.

The homemade cakes and scones were lovely. I really appreciated how fresh everything tasted, you could tell the ingredients were good quality. The scone in particular was so light. A nice spot for a treat.

The chicken and ham hock pie was a proper, hearty dish. I had it with a glass of their house red, which cut through the richness nicely. A solid choice for a cold evening.

The Full Monty burger here is a proper feed. Had it for a takeaway last night, it&#39;s massive. Couldn&#39;t finish the extra portion of chips we&#39;d ordered. Solid choice in Shanklin if you&#39;re really hungry.

A relaxing spot with comfy armchairs. The vibe is spot on. I enjoyed a well-made cappuccino with my pastry, though the coffee was a touch on the strong side for my taste. Staff were quick and friendly.

A very clean spot, and the staff were so friendly. The service made the whole meal feel relaxed and easy.

The QR code ordering was a lifesaver on match day. No waiting at the bar, just scanned and got my burger and pint. The system didn&rsquo;t glitch once even with the place packed. So handy.

The food was really good, but the personal touches from the staff are what stood out for me.

Food was tasty and portions were generous. The staff were really friendly too, made it a nice spot for a casual catch-up.

Tapas menu is the standout. Octopus and mussels had good flavour. They brought them out at a steady pace, which worked well.

Food&#39;s always good and fresh. The app deals are a nice touch, makes it feel like a fair price.

Got a free prosecco and cake for my birthday! The chicken Milanese was spot on, really tasty and came out piping hot. Nice touch.

Decent curry for a Thursday night. Good portion size, tasted fine. The lounge area is nice for a quick pint after. Bread was a bit greasy though. Does the job for a quick bite.

Tried the Sunday roast for the first time. That beef just fell apart, honestly. The spot by the water was lovely for a lazy afternoon, lots of space outside.

Busy Tuesday night but they squeezed us in. The menu&#39;s huge, had a hard time choosing! Went for the lamb shank, fell right off the bone. Good spot for a spontaneous dinner.

Popped in for a quick bite, got the ostrich silsia. The cheese naan was a great call with it. Nice little spot for something different.

Sat outside on a sunny afternoon, perfect for people-watching. The beer selection is the real draw here &ndash; tried a local pale ale that paired nicely with the fish and chips. A solid choice for a casual pint.

The coconut rice is rich and creamy, with a really authentic coconut flavour. Best I&#39;ve had outside Thailand.
