    Fabulous food and service. Just in front of the beach in a relatively quiet location.

    Fantastic place for breakfast. The portions were very generous and reasonably priced. The ingredients were fresh and we'll prepared (runny eggs and hot crispy hash browns). The cafe is positioned on the side of a little hill overlooking the sea and the pier so do grab a window table to enjoy the view. The staff was friendly and welcoming, we had a lovely time. Thank you!

    Great place for coffee, ice cream, breakfast lunch and dinner. Lovely to watch the sea and weather and let time run away.. Friendly staff too!

    Delicious strawberry mojito 🍹on Sunday. Today we came back to try the Fish & chips. Comes in small or regular £9/£13, we had a small portion each which was perfect for lunch. Fish so soft & batter really light, no greasy after taste 👍best fish & chips I had in a long time. Meal 10/10 Service 10/10 Right on sea front 10/10 Definitely coming back for brunch before we head to ferry on Saturday

    Half term rainy day retreat. Amazing food and cosy service. Our girls loved guessing the flags around the edge of the restaurant, as did we. Owners were so kind and caring. Will be going back next summer. Absolutely recommend to all. X

    Fantastic location, lovely food cooked to order. Super friendly staff. Always a pleasure to visit, especially when the sun is shining - not many locations to beat it! Menu changes periodically so always something new to try. Their homemade pesto is delicious ☺️ breakfasts are really good too as is the seafood.So lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep 👍

  • 5/5 Sue C. 1 year ago on Google
    We had some very nice coffee here and it was brought to us whilst we sat and watched the views. The staff are friendly the seating is good as you can while away the time watching the boats out at sea.

    Stopped in for liquid refreshment after our walk from Shanklin, staff were polite and friendly. We carried on with our walk and on the way back, we stopped again for lunch. Wonderful service and great food.

  • 5/5 Argy D. 1 year ago on Google
    What a fabulous find! We were expecting 'everything with chips' but it wasn't. A great menu, very reasonably priced with excellent friendly service and a wonderful view, of course. If only I didn't live 300 miles away - definitely one of the holiday highlights.

    Went looking for crab and lobster. However none on the menu. That may have been due to the time we turned up (1530). meals were still very good. Had the sea food platter.

  • 5/5 J T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place to enjoy all types of food and beverages anytime of the day. Has a great location which isn’t in the busy side and great views. The food was a really good balance and taste fresh like they just plucked it out from their local supply (the English Channel). Convenient, friendly and would recommend. Been then several times during our visit.

  • 4/5 Trevor P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic location, good service, and food. Only reason star knocked off was because food was served in take away containers despite eating in. Small detail but it did make a difference to the experience.

  • 5/5 Ian C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic!! Service, Food & Atmosphere was brilliant. Would recommend highly 🤙🏾

    The yellow shack by the pier! Great guy runs this place. We called before hand just to check how busy he was and even though it was a scorching hot day there was plenty of things available to rent. Took some kayaks out for a couple of hours down to Shanklin and back. And a little later in the day tried our hands at stand up paddle boarding. Really pleased with the reasonable rates, the friendly welcome, the knowledge shared.
