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.

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.

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 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 steak and ale pie was a proper hearty portion, just what you want on a chilly evening. Gravy was rich and deep. Paired it with a robust red from their list, which cut through the richness nicely. Solid pub grub.

First time here, and I&rsquo;ll definitely return. I went for the ham and croissant&mdash;so simple but really good. The croissant was buttery and flaky, just right. My husband&rsquo;s club sandwich looked great too. Next time I&rsquo;m trying something a bit more adventurous from the menu!

Love that they offer gluten-free and vegan options. Unlimited tea for a quid is a nice touch! Just a heads up, it&#39;s cash only.

The full English is cooked just right. Good value for money in town. Coffee could be a touch stronger for my taste.

Came for a special dinner. The mussels were incredible &ndash; perfectly cooked, fantastic broth. Kitchen clearly knows what they&#39;re doing. Service was spot-on too. A really good night.

The full English breakfast was pretty good. The bacon and sausages were decent, and the beans were a nice touch. My wife enjoyed her scrambled eggs. It was a solid start to the day, though the coffee could have been a bit hotter.

They made a lovely chicken dish off-menu for a food allergy, which was really thoughtful.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The steak and ale pie was steaming hot, really hit the spot on a cold day. Nice to see a few dogs chilling with their owners too.

The staff here are always so nice. I love how you can just scan the QR code on the table to order&mdash;it makes everything super quick and easy. No waiting around to flag someone down!

Service was spot on, staff were really friendly and attentive. Food came out quick, which was great. Felt relaxed the whole time.

Lovely little spot with that rustic, trendy decor. The veggie full English was honestly the best I&#39;ve had. Just a really nice, relaxed place to sit and enjoy a meal.

The calves liver special had this intense sweet-savory sauce. Honestly, the portion was generous for the price. We left feeling very full, which is a win in my book. Service was friendly, no complaints there.

Nice to see solid vegan choices alongside the classics. The wine list had a good pairing for the mushroom dish.

Lovely spot on the deck for a sunny afternoon. The vibe was relaxed, almost like a little escape. I enjoyed a crisp ros&eacute; with my lunch&mdash;it paired nicely with the light seafood. A bit pricey for the portion, but the setting made it worthwhile.

Nice little spot, staff were friendly. Had to pop up to the counter myself for a second round of drinks and cake though, they didn&#39;t come back around to ask. Still, the cake slice was huge for the price.

Service is always quick, even when they&#39;re packed. The staff are just really friendly, you know? They remember your coffee order after a couple of visits. Makes the whole thing feel easy.

The quiz night was a blast! The host kept things moving and the questions were actually fun, not just random trivia. We didn&#39;t win bingo, but the whole vibe was so energetic. Definitely a solid spot for a laugh with mates.

Kitchen gets a bit slow when they&#39;re busy. Had to wait a while for the main course. The burger was fine, but I&#39;d stick with the seafood next time.

The fish and chips were spot on - super crispy batter and those triple-cooked chips were a game changer.

Got the burger on a local&#39;s recommendation. The patty was juicy and cooked just right, with really fresh local ingredients. It&#39;s up there with the best I&#39;ve had in town.

The Sunday roast is a solid choice. The beef was cooked just right, and the trimmings were generous. Gets busy, so book ahead.

Felicity was an outstanding hostess during our visit! The service was fast and friendly, making our brunch enjoyable. I would definitely come back for more!
