Been coming here for years. The pasta dishes are just like what I had in Rome &ndash; simple, hearty, and you get a good plateful for your money. No fuss, just proper food.

The blueberry sponge cake here is just lovely. It&#39;s got that perfect, slightly dense crumb and the berries are still juicy. A really nice treat with a coffee. The place itself is spotless, which I always appreciate.

Been here a few times now. It&#39;s always spotless, which is nice. The owners are friendly, make you feel welcome. Just a comfortable, no-fuss place for a meal.

The owner clearly knows her coffee. My flat white was really nicely made, smooth and rich. A quiet spot for a proper brew. Just a bit pricey for the size.

Came here for a quiet dinner. The service was efficient and friendly, which made the whole evening very relaxed. I particularly enjoyed the okra side dish. The prosecco was a nice surprise, too. A comfortable spot for a low-key night out.

Good spot for a quick bite. Mussels were solid, dessert was nice. Service friendly but a bit slow.

No booking but got a table quick even at Christmas. Sophy&rsquo;s suggestions were spot on. Food came fast and hit the spot. Perfect for a quick bite when you&rsquo;re in a rush.

The new sharing chips were a solid menu addition. Decent portion, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. They came out hot and well-seasoned. A nice side to share, though the aioli could have had a bit more punch.

I&#39;ve been a few times now. What keeps me coming back is how fresh the ingredients always taste. You can really tell the vegetables are crisp and the proteins are good quality. It feels like a proper, wholesome meal.

Butter chicken takeaway had a good amount of chicken, really tasty. The naan was excellent too, soft and warm. Solid choice for a quick dinner.

I haven&#39;t been to the Fishers Pond so this was a trip back in time.  The setting is still as I remember, obviously the staff and menu wasn&#39;t going to be the same but I wasn&#39;t disappointed,  the menu provides a variety of dishes and the roast which we chose was probably one of the best i have had.  As for the staff, friendly and efficient, so big 10/10 to all!

Service was efficient for our group of 8. The waitress was attentive, kept drinks topped up and handled the separate bills without fuss. Made a busy Friday dinner run smoothly.

Service was really good, they were attentive without being overbearing. Online payment was a breeze, which is always a plus. The food came out fresh and hot.

Really clean and tidy when we popped in, perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

Really lovely meal out for four people. I can especially recommend the sea bass - great presentation and delicious. Attentive waiting staff as well.

Absolutely excellent roast dinner, we will definitely be back again soon! Everything was brilliant. The lovely new landlady, Rebecca, came around personally to introduce herself and check how our meal was, really nice touch!

The fish and chips were spot on, really fresh and crispy. The carbonara was lovely too. I appreciated the comfortable seating, made the whole meal feel very relaxed.

The carrot cake was a generous slice and paired nicely with a cup of black coffee. The chocolate chip cookie was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

Lovely little spot, feels like a warm hug. The staff were super friendly, really made us feel at home. Had a nice, relaxed lunch here.

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.

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.
