Welcome to Taste of the Wight 2019. We know you can’t wait to 

get your face around the foodie offering here on the Isle of Wight 

and with good reason! Our Island boasts plentiful produce thanks 

to the extra hours of sunshine and its unique microclimate. It’s 

almost like a mini-Mediterranean with our juicy tomatoes, fresh 

garlic, an abundance of seafood and artisan producers every 

which way you turn. We have rounded up the items you simply 

can’t leave without trying, find out which ones on page 10. 

The Island truly has a foodie offering that punches well above its 

small size – our pubs, restaurants and cafés make the most of the 

amazing items right on their doorstep, turning them into delicious 

dishes in some of the most stunning locations around. Inside this 

edition you will find our guide to places to take the kids, places 

to visit when the sun is shining, where to get the ultimate burgers 

and cream teas (although probably not at the same time!) and 

much more. 

You will also find a jam-packed foodie calendar with many events 

for the whole family including the world-famous Garlic Festival 

and the legendary Classic Beer, Buses and Walks Weekend and 

many more on page 92. 

So go forth and discover all of the food and drink that the 

Isle of Wight has to offer. 

Bon appétit!

The Hit-List 2019 

Get your face around a whole host of new eateries to try on the 

Isle of Wight in 2019. Here are a few of our top picks… 

Page 6 

Aptly named, The New Inn, Shalfleet has been given a new 

lease of life. If you visited last year you will have noticed 

that it sadly had closed its doors, but the previous 

landlord of 20 years has stepped back in to reopen the 

popular and much-loved pub. 

NEWINNIOW.CO.UK 

Tansy's Pantry is a brand new vegan restaurant in 

Godshill. Opened by husband and wife team, Jamie and 

Ollie, they have been feeding hungry revellers at events 

across the Island for years. Their vegan dishes have 

proved so popular that they've realised their dream of 

opening their own place. Expect tasty dahls, curries, 

roasts and vegan fish and chips! 

TANSYSPANTRY.CO.UK 

x tasteofthewight a TasteIW b /tasteofthewight

Get the Mediterranean experience at recently opened 

Cibo in Wootton. Housed in what was once a local 

butcher's shop, there is a relaxed and welcoming vibe 

inside. Whether you are popping in for a coffee and 

pastry, a light lunch or a full-on three-course dinner 

with cocktails, Cibo's the place to be. 

CIBOIOW.CO.UK 

An Island classic has been given a new lease of life. 

The George Hotel & Beach Club in Yarmouth, now run by 

London nightclub legend Howard Spooner, has undergone 

some refurbishments to bring it back on the map. The 

previous chef, Robert Thompson, is overseeing the menu 

as executive chef, with Tom Axford from Kynges Well in 

Brading on board. 

THEGEORGE.CO.UK 

The popular Beach Shack in Sandown has opened 

The Sky Bar. You won't have to go far, it's literally 

right above! Showcasing some of the best views on the 

Island, relax with a coffee or a glass of wine and treat 

yourself to some mouth-watering dishes, gazing out 

across the English Channel. 

BEACHSHACKBAR.CO.UK 

The King's Head has new owners at the helm. 

Recently acquired by Character Inns who have 

an excellent reputation for local pubs across the 

Island, the pub sits in the heart of the historic 

market town of Yarmouth. 

CHARACTERINNS.CO.UK 

Page 7 

Stripped is the latest offering in Ventnor _ a town 

renowned for its eclectic foodie offering. From 

the brains and bellies behind the popular Cantina, 

Stripped focuses on chilled-out eating where 

simple dishes take centre stage. 

STRIPPEDVENTNOR.CO.UK 

There's a Blumenthal in town and it's Heston's son Jack, 

who has opened members-only restaurant, The OTTO Club 

(Oblivious To The Obvious) in Ryde. Think food alchemy, 

smoking cocktails and a truly decadent interior. 

THEOTTOCLUB.CO.UK 


e Bugle Coaching Inn, 

e Crab and Lobster and 

e Yachtsman are three 

of the Island’s most 

beautiful waterside pubs. 

Specialising in seafood (along with 

many traditional hearty favourites) they 

really do offer something for everyone.

DON'T MISS OUT ON! 

— 

The Island is famed for an abundance of local produce, grown in our fertile 

soils, reared on our lush landscape or in our crystal waters. 

Here are our picks not to miss out on... 

#1 TOMATOES 

Page 10 

You can actually taste the extra hours of 

sunshine that go into The Tomato Stall’s 

famous fayre. Tomatoes have been 

growing in the rich and fertile Arreton 

Valley for over 30 years. Each year, over 

40 varieties are grown, from the hearty 

beef to the naturally sweet Piccolo. 

Buy from local farm shops including 

Brownrigg’s and Briddlesford Lodge 

Farm Shop. 

#2 GARLIC 

The folks over at The Garlic Farm have 

been growing the pungent bulb for over 

50 years in Newchurch. What started out 

as a kitchen garden has grown to a large 

farm with many varieties of garlic available 

to buy. Visit the on-site restaurant to try 

some of the tastiest dishes (featuring 

garlic, naturally) or take home garlic 

products such as mayonnaise, butter 

and even ice cream! 


#3 CHEESE 

Rich at Isle of Wight Cheese Co knows 

more about the stuff than Wallace of 

Wallace and Gromit fame. Having made 

cheese at Queen Bower Dairy since 

2006, they have recently acquired the 

dairy and herd behind the multi-awardwinning 

cheeses. Pick up your favourite 

at the weekly farmers’ markets in Ryde 

and Newport, local farm shops or 

direct from the dairy. 

Page 11 

#4 CRAB 

#5 GIN 

Seafood features heavily on plates across the 

Island, with crab being a top choice. Ventnor 

Haven Fishery is a great place to buy your 

freshly caught crab and the Blake family have 

been fishing these local waters for decades. 

The Crab Shed at Steephill Cove is so famed 

for serving up crab pasties, that they have a 

queue all day long. 

Well, after all that food, it’s nice to wash it down 

with a local tipple too. Mermaid Gin is the Isle 

of Wight Distillery’s first spirit and remains the 

most popular. Locally foraged rock samphire and 

elderflower, fresh citrus zest from Sicilian lemons 

and grains of paradise are complemented by 

Boadicea hops grown in the famous Ventnor Botanic 

Garden, all perfectly blended to create a unique 

flavour. Look out for their recently launched pink 

gin, infused with Isle of Wight strawberries.

CAFFÉ ISOLA 

At the forefront of the Island’s artisan 

coffee scene... 

The Burgess family opened Caffé Isola in 2004, as 

a flagship store for The I.O.W Espresso Co. In 2010 

they launched their ‘Island Roasted Coffee’ which is 

stocked Islandwide and further afield. 

2018 saw expansion into a new site in Upper St James 

Street, Newport. The former Beavis building, once a 

church lecture hall, became the perfect space to 

expand the artisan café and incorporate even more 

local retail products. 

The menu showcases local produce and is inspired 

by the family’s Sicilian heritage. Expect paninis, 

hand cut sandwiches, salads, pasta specials and 

plenty of homemade cakes! 

Caffé Isola is fully licensed and open in the evening for 

events and coffee courses. Upstairs you’ll find some 

of the Islands great cottage industry producers and 

their products. Soon, you will be able to experience 

a small scale version of the roastery – from green 

coffee preperation, to drum roasting and packing.

QUARR ABBEY 

Quarr Abbey has the perfect balance between field and fork, 

with parts of the Abbey’s 200 acre estate being worked 

to produce a huge array of food stuffs... 

Page 16 

The style of growing here is definitely traditional 

and in keeping with the overall ethos of the 

Abbey – that you get back what you put in. Head 

Gardener Matthew Noyce takes this literally with 

traditional growing methods, nothing is artificially 

grown, nor are any pesticides used. This results in 

a far more labour intensive growing plan, but the 

taste and variety on offer make it all worthwhile. 

Following the traditional theme, much of the fruit 

and veg grown here are of a heritage variety, 

although they look anything but traditional! 

From purple carrots to the aptly named Turks 

Turban squash, heritage and legacy vegetables 

allow a range of flavours to be grown. 

The tea and farm shop sits within a beautifully 

maintained garden with the imposing Abbey 

creating a picture-perfect backdrop. Chefs 

work closely with the gardening team to create 

specials showing off what is on offer. Sharer’s 

boards are a favourite and it’s easy to see why. 

Using freshly picked salads and produce taken 

directly from the Abbey’s vegetable plot, with 

choices of meat, fish and ploughman’s, creating 

a delicious lunch for two. 


Add in some of Quarr’s own chutneys or 

preserves and wash it down with a Quarr Abbey 

Ale you possibly have the most ‘local’ lunch 

available on the Island! 

The range of products in the farm shop that is 

either grown, made or farmed on the Abbey’s 

grounds is staggering. Jams and chutneys jostle 

for space next to eggs – freshly laid by the 

rescued ex-commercial hens you can find in the 

walled garden – and Quarr honey, harvested 

from the Abbey’s own busy bees, who collect 

their pollen and nectar from the specially created 

wildflower meadow.

THE SPYLASS INN 

Head to the world-famous Spyglass Inn, where you are sure of a warm welcome. 

The location is second to none, with panoramic views out across 

the English Channel and Ventnor Bay. 

In the warmer months, there is nothing 

better than sitting outside on the terrace 

overlooking the sea. 

Famed for its hearty, homemade pub menu 

and regularly changing specials board, 

with an emphasis on fresh seafood, caught 

by neighbouring Ventnor Haven Fishery. 

Complement your meal with a glass of fine 

wine or a pint of real ale from the extensive 

bar list, featuring many local tipples. 

The pub is decorated in an array of fascinating 

sea-faring memorabilia and has live music on 

most nights of the week. Stay in one of the 

four self-contained apartments, all with a 

view across Ventnor Bay.

Tom Bull, Head Chef, 

The Seaview Hotel, Restaurant and Bar 

What is the best thing about the 

Isle of Wight foodie scene? 

It has to be Living Larder. The vegetables they 

produce are amazing and so fresh – they get 

picked in the morning and delivered within hours! 

What is the one dish on your menu 

you keep coming back to? 

Since I have taken over as Head Chef, the dish 

that I return again and again to is our hake dish 

with shellfish bisque, leek marmalade, confit 

tomatoes, samphire and fresh dill. I love it. 

What is your local tipple? 

It has to be Mermaid Gin from the 

Isle of Wight Distillery. They have recently 

launched it in a new bottle too and it looks amazing.

The Seaview Hotel, to eat on the Island?

chutneys and relishes to compliment any dish, 

most of which we stock here at The Needles. 

Likewise, our southerly location makes for great 

chilli growing conditions and we’re proud to 

purvey ‘The House of Chilli’products, from 

chilli-infused sauces, chutneys and chocolates.

We love a good blackboard – PO41’s drinks offering! 

Here at Taste HQ, we love a cup of 

coffee to get us through the day. It 

comes in many guises, from black to 

soya lattes and iced to espresso, 

plus everything in between! 

So yes, you could probably call us a bunch 

of coffee nerds and we wouldn’t argue. 

In fact, we would agree and urge you to 

read this guide to some of the best coffee 

shops on the Isle of Wight...

Paul Thomas, The Tomato Stall 



The sheer quality and diversity of products available. 

There are also some great venues on the island that 

champion local produce. We have put together a 

Tomato Trail on page34-35 of some of the best spots 

to eat and enjoy our tomatoes. 

What is your local tipple? 

It would have to be an Island ‘Bloody Mary’ 

made with the Isle of Wight Distillery Rock Sea 

Salt Vodka, Isle of Wight Tomato Juice and touch 

of Isle of Wight Garlic. 

What is your favourite dish 

you cook using Isle of Wight Tomatoes? 

A simple tomato tart using puff pastry, a selection 

of heritage tomato varieties, sliced and layered on 

to the pastry base and topped with Isle of Wight 

Cheese Company Blue Slipper. Served with a simple 

green salad. 

Where is your favourite place for a cuppa 

and a slice of something nice? 

It would have to be Quarr Abbey, 

such an amazing spot. 

Page 37 

What is your favourite event 

on the Island? 

That’s really difficult to answer as there are 

so many great events but I particularly enjoy 

Cowes Week.

Foodie Vacations 

There are plenty of places to 

stay here on the Island, many of 

which can combine a love of food 

and drink with the perfect setting 

for your foodie-break… 

Page 38 

A treat for all the senses, 

The Seaview Hotel Restaurant 

& Bar is a beautifully unique 

venue. Set in the picturesque 

sailing village of Seaview which 

has a distinctly nostalgic feel, 

the hotel is a mere hop, skip 

and a jump from the sea. So 

it should come as no surprise 

that seafood features heavily 

on the menu here, with dishes 

including stonebass in Madeira 

sauce or langoustine bisque. 

As well as the restaurant you 

will also find a ‘proper’ pub set 

inside the hotel. The Pump Bar 

has a laid-back atmosphere, 

with a wealth of local ales on 

tap and serving a traditional 

classic bar menu.

If it’s character a-plenty you are after, then 

stay at one of the most iconic pubs on the 

Island, The Spyglass Inn. There are four selfcontained 

apartments, all offering far-reaching 

views over Ventnor Bay and the English Channel. 

Spend time in the pub, famed for its hearty food 

offering, with a good sprinkle of local seafood 

and in the morning, cook up a storm using 

the local produce provided.

meet the fisherman 

Ed Blake, Ventnor Haven Fishery 



There is a real hunger for local produce, particularly 

from second-homeowners. With the recent emphasis 

on food miles, the Island is a brilliant example 

of what can be achieved in a small area. 

What is your favourite dish 

you cook using local seafood? 

My favourite dish to cook is crab linguine. It’s 

incredibly easy to cook but has wow factor. 

Fry off some garlic and red pepper or chilli 

until cooked, mix through some cooked 

linguine (spaghetti works just as well). Take off 

the heat, add some cream cheese, then add 

50/50 cooked crab meat, stir in some spinach 

and allow the residual heat to warm the crab 

through and wilt the spinach. Perfect. 

Where is your favourite place 

to eat seafood on the Island? 

Page 44 

Ventnor Haven Fishery supplies cafés and 

restaurants across the Island and they all 

do a fantastic job, but I still believe my 

mum cooks it the best. I suppose she’s 

had a bit of practice over the years! 

What is your favourite 

event on the Island? 

There are plenty of fantastic parties 

on the Island, but my favourite event is 

one put on by nature. On certain summer 

evenings, the beaches on the south-west coast 

of the Island turn shimmering silver with whitebait. 

The mackerel herd the whitebait into foreshore 

until the waves chuck them up the beach and it 

provides one of the most beautiful sights you’ll 

see anywhere. If you’re lucky, you might spot a 

dolphin or two enjoying it as well.

meet the landlord 

Tim Green & Humphrey the pub dog, 

The Culver Haven Inn 

What is the best bit about being a landlord? 

The ever changing trends in the food and drink 

trade. I have worked in pubs for 28 years now 

and the whole industry has changed beyond all 

recognition. It’s not like working in accountancy 

for instance, where the most exciting thing 

is a change in tax law. 

What is your favourite local tipple? 

The HMS Victory Gin from the 

Island Distillery. I love selling 

real ales but haven’t quite 

got the taste for them, but 

luckily my customers love them! 

Other than your pub, where 

would you go for a drink? 

Page 48 

I would go to a decent country

warm sunny day, a cold drink

Burger Hunters 

The burger. It is such a simple concept, 

but packs a real punch when it comes 

to taste (and, unfortunately, calories) 

but it is a staple choice for many (come 

on, who hasn’t gone to a really fancy 

restaurant and just wished they 

could order a burger?) 

On the menu at cafés, fine dining restaurants, 

bistros and everything in between, the humble 

burger is a ubiquitous, dependable dish. 

Here’s our round-up of some of the best 

places to get your fill… 

Winner of numerous burger-related awards, 

The Cow Bar & Restaurant at Tapnell Farm is 

a must-visit. Choose from classic burgers to 

smoked or burgers with chorizo. Can’t choose 

between them all? Thankfully, the folks at 

The Cow have prepared for this dilemma with 

a burger sharing platter consisting of three 

small burgers and two sides. Delish. 


Burger-lovers should flock to The Bargeman’s 

Rest in Newport, for the sheer amount of 

options available. You might have to factor in a 

fair bit of deciding time as you have a whopping 

13 burgers to choose from! Try the Gourmet 

Burger made especially for them by a local 

butcher which includes three super-tasty 

cuts of beef. 

bargemansrest.co.uk

Left: Activated charcoal burger special at The Blacksmiths. 

Right: “Cluckin’ Awesome” chicken burger from The Smokehouse. 

Such a simple concept, but packs a real punch. 


The Cow Co Bar & Restaurant at Tapnell Farm. 

Brought together by a love of all things smoky, 

meaty and delicious, The Smokehouse Burger Co. 

in Newport is regularly jam-packed with burger 

fans. All of the gourmet Isle of Wight beef 

burgers are made on site, to the chef’s top 

secret recipe – a combination of steak mince 

and spices. Try the ‘Clint Beastwood’ a 6oz 

IW beef patty, slow-roasted Southern-State 

BBQ pulled pork, onion rings and 

smoky BBQ sauce. Wowzers.

Uncomplicated and unfussy delicousness from Stripped. 

The Blacksmiths, Newport, does one of the

from Rowridge Farm, a mere mile or so away. 

Served with crispy bacon, Applewood Cheddar, 

lettuce and tomato, all served on a brioche 

bun alongside skinny fries, plus garlic aioli and 

tomato salsa. It keeps many a burger lover 

coming back for more.

Plastic-free 

We are all becoming more aware 

of the impact our habits can 

have on the planet... 

320 million tonnes of plastic was produced 

globally in 2016 and this is set to double by 

2034. Society’s addiction to plastic has come 

about largely due to making our lives more 

convenient. Food and drink on the 

go, takeaways, grabbing a coffee etc 

but convenience has a consequence. 

Page 56 

LEAVE THE LID OFF! 

Save 

us!! 

Caffé Isola are one of the list of businesses tackling plastic pollution. 

Left Clockwise: The impact single-use plastic has is lasting. Middle: Surfers Against Sewage‘s 

mission is to save our oceans. Right: Swap plastic straws for paper or don’t take one at all. 


If you get as sad as we do when you see rubbish at the beach, why not take it away with you and help with the mission! 

Single-use plastics are used briefly and only 

once, but their impacts are lasting. Plastic is 

durable, cheap to produce and we’re consuming 

it at a staggering rate – current estimates 

show that at least 8 million pieces of plastic are 

entering the oceans every single day. 

A plastic bottle or coffee cup lid can last for 

450 years in the marine environment, slowly 

fragmenting into smaller pieces which eventually 

end up microscopic, but never truly go away. 

This means that every piece of plastic that has 

ever been produced is still with us, in some 

form. Imagine if Queen Elizabeth 1 watched the 

Spanish Armada with a takeaway flat white in 

her hand, that cup and lid would still be 

floating in our seas! 

Simple changes in a business can make dramatic 

differences. Getting rid of sachets and offering 

condiments from bottles; eradicating plastic 

straws but having paper straws available (only 

if required) and offering alternatives such as 

glass bottles or cans. 

There are some brilliant Island businesses doing 

their bit to tackle plastic pollution…

When the sun 

is shining 

Page 60 

There are certain spots on the Island 

that really seem to bloom and come 

into their own when the sun is 

shining brightly in the sky. 

Take your pick from these places where you 

can enjoy the great outdoors and soak up 

some vitamin D whilst you tuck in… 

The Driftwood Bar, Sandown. 

The Spyglass Inn’s unbeatable location makes for the perfect suntrap. 

On a sunny day, there is little better than sitting 

with a cool drink, looking out over golden sands 

to a twinkling blue sea. You could easily think 

you have landed on a Greek island but in fact, 

Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown does the job 

just as well! Sit outside on the large decked area 

and enjoy a cocktail from the extensive menu 

(we recommend the new Dark & Stormy). The 

menu features plenty of fresh seafood as well 

as light bites, breakfasts and kids’ choices. 

Want to make a night of it? Why not book one 

of the brand new party booths which seat 14 

people? Watch the sun setting whilst listening 

to some live music. Absolute bliss. 

Any closer to the sea at The Spyglass Inn, you 

will need to have your cossie on! Locations don’t 

come much better than this – perched right 

above the sea at the end of Ventnor Esplanade, 

you can easily lose a couple of hours sitting 

on the terrace gazing out across the English 

Channel. Enjoy proper pub favourites coupled 

with fresh seafood landed just along the beach 

at Ventnor Haven Fishery, or just relax with 

a cold pint, many of which come from our 

local breweries. 



Page 62 

If you find yourself further inland, Quarr Abbey 

Tea and Farm Shop provide tasty, home-grown 

and home-cooked produce in stunning surrounds. 

Combine a trip to the historic abbey with a 

walk around the beautifully maintained grounds 

where you can feed the abbey’s own pigs before 

relaxing in the pretty tea garden. Here, you may 

get a visit from one of the friendly free-range 

chickens that roam around the garden. 


Local seafood restaurant 

Country family pub | Bed & breakfast 

A beautiful example of a traditional country 

pub set in outstanding surroundings. 

Select your meal from the daily specials 

board, and enjoy an excellent meal either 

in the bar, restaurant or patio garden. 

We’re noted for our local meat, seafood 

and shellfish. Complement your meal with 

a wine from our extensive wine list, or a pint 

of real ale. Walkers and cyclists welcome. 

Pub Beer Festival 

Friday 5th – Sunday 7th July 

Sit in the beautiful grounds and enjoy something from Quarr Abbey Tea and Farm Shop. 

You can dine right on the water at The Best 

Dressed Crab in Bembridge, the Island’s only 

floating restaurant. This houseboat-turnedseafood 

café is known for serving some of 

the best crab and lobster on the whole Island, 

caught mere metres away at Bembridge Ledge 

and surrounds. Served simply, the flavour speaks 

for itself. Sit outside and watch the boats go by 

in this working harbour.

For a pub where you can literally 

feel the sand between your toes, 

it has to be Fisherman’s Cottage at 

the bottom of the historic Shanklin 

Chine. This beautiful thatched pub 

sits right on the beach at Shanklin. 

Built in 1837, it has been welcoming 

fishermen and patrons for years. 

Grab a seat outside and you can 

watch the kids play on the golden 

sands, before tucking into a hearty 

meal of fish and chips. Made with 

the Fisherman’s secret recipe batter 

which features local Isle of Wight 

beer, it keeps many coming 

back for more.

Taste’s Top 10 

Picnic Spots 

Page 66 

There are so many beautiful spots on the Island to relax and enjoy a picnic, 

that it’s hard to pick our definitive top 10 but we gave it a good go! Here 

(in no particular order) are the Taste HQ’s favourite places to head for when 

the weather is good with a basket of food and a tipple or two… 

#1. CULVER DOWN. The views here are spectacular 

and you can even see as far as Chichester on a clear day. 

#2. COMPTON BAY. Possibly the Island's best-loved 

beach, the warm reddish-brown sands make it the perfect 

spot for a picnic. 

Just don't leave anything in the 

car as it's a bit of a hike back. 


#3. BRIGHSTONE FOREST.This is a great spot when 

the weather is a bit iffy, thanks to the shelter of the 

trees. Kids can make a fort, dogs can run about and 

parents can chill. 

#7. BLACKGANG VIEWPOINT.If you don't fancy 

sitting on a blanket on the ground, grab one of the 

picnic benches here and if you are lucky, the Chale Farm 

locally-made ice cream van is here most of the time! 

#4. THE GREEN AT GURNARD. Sit here and watch 

the local sailing club zipping around and during the 

summer months, spot yachts and catamarans in the 

water for the many regattas. 

#8. ST HELENS DUVER. A great spot for the whole 

family, explore the pretty sand dunes and the beach plus 

there are plenty of amenities nearby. 

Page 67 

#5. BRADING DOWN. The favourite haunt of many 

a "sit in your car with a sandwich"-style lunch, Brading 

Down provides a spectacular vista. On summer days, there 

is normally an ice cream van for afters too. 

#9. MOTTISTONE GARDENS. Managed by the 

National Trust, combine a visit to Mottistone Gardens 

with a family picnic in the warm and sheltered gardens. 

The plants, flowers and wildlife are a sight to behold. 

look out for the green tiger beetle 

who shines like a jewel. 

#6. RED CLIFF. Yaverland. If you fancy a BBQ on the 

beach, this is a great spot when the tide is out and the 

Isle of Wight Council does allow BBQs here. 

#10. DEVILS CHIMNEY. Halfway between Shanklin 

and Ventnor, at the top of the "chimney" is a small 

wild flower meadow complete with picnic benches. Rest 

your legs after exploring the surrounding area in this 

sheltered suntrap.

VENTNOR BOTANIC GARDEN 

With its magnificent location in the Ventnor Undercliff, Ventnor Botanic Garden 

has an unparalleled collection of plants and regularly 

utilises these in its edulis restaurant... 

Head Chef Brad Roe, who has an AA Rosette 

Award to his name as well as 20 years working 

in Michelin star restaurants, can often be seen 

foraging both the nurseries and the garden itself, 

looking for unique salad leaves, edible flowers 

and new and exotic plants and micro herbs that 

he incorporates into the edulis menu, ‘edulis’ 

meaning ‘edible’ in Latin. 

The dynamic pairing of Brad with the garden’s 

curator, Chris Kidd, marries fine dining with the 

creative use of garden-grown plants, from garden 

to table. Together they are continually adding new 

plants to the kitchen, exploring individual and 

combination flavours and creating new and exotic 

tastes. The garden has also introduced evening 

dining in edulis, comprising a series of themed 

tasting menus including Plant Based, Isle of Wight 

Produce, South American, Carnivore and Seafood. 

Try the garden’s own produce including chutneys, 

relishes, preserves, oyster mushrooms and salsa. If 

you like a beer, try an organic ale or lager, brewed 

using the varieties of hops grown in the garden. 

The Plantation Room Café is open throughout 

the day from 10am until 5pm serving teas, barista 

coffee, homemade cakes and light lunches.

THE STEAMER INN 

Situated on the beach at Shanklin overlooking Sandown Bay, 

The Steamer Inn enjoys some of the best views on the Isle of Wight. 

The Steamer Inn offers a changing menu 

in accordance with the season. Using locally 

caught fish and meats from local farms, the 

food will excite and delight you. Offering a great 

selection of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian 

options. Complement your meal with a drink 

from the extensive wine list or try a real ale, many 

of which are brewed locally. Live music is a key 

part of a visit. Experience talented local musicians 

playing everything from jazz to folk music most 

Friday and Saturday evenings – and Sunday

in one of the en-suite rooms. 

A perfect location to explore the

meet the forager 

Alex Richards, Forager, Island Wild Food 



There’s lots of small unique companies on the Island 

doing amazing things and making some excellent 

local produce. 

What is your favourite item to forage? 

That’s hard to answer as it depends on the season, 

but it would be elderflower or wild fennel in the 

summer, sea buckthorn or elderberries in autumn, 

sea beet in winter and wild garlic or nettles in spring. 

What is your favourite dish to cook 

using foraged ingredients? 

I’ve got really into making nettle pancakes recently. 

I like them with my home-made foraged crab apple 

jelly or gorse flower syrup. 

Where is your favourite place to go out to eat 


Page 74 

I usually like to eat outdoors at the beach or make 

something somewhere by the sea in my camper van. 

If I had to pick somewhere to buy food though, 

I’d say Wightwood Pizza van. Can’t beat a pizza 

on the beach at Freshwater Bay. 

What is your favourite event on the Island? 

Rhythmtree Festival as it’s nice and small, with lots 

of friendly people and tasty food, but I do have to 

escape each day for a swim in the sea!

More Tea Vicar? 

The cream tea has been a UK holidaymakers’ staple treat for decades 

and its popularity shows little signs of waning with plenty of 

options on offer. A good cream tea will keep people 

talking and coming back for more. 

Dimbola Lodge – home to Julia’s Tea Room. 

Page 76 

Here’s our round-up of some of the best 

places on the Isle of Wight… 

The Pearl Café is a real hidden gem (sorry) of a 

place. Prepare for some of the most breathtaking 

views on the Island as you sit down with your 

cream tea. Choose from a classic sweet or a 

savoury option served up with a slightly curryspiced 

chutney that is out of this world. 

iowpearl.com 

Julia’s Tea Room is housed in the iconic Dimbola, 

the former home of Julia Margaret Cameron, 

one of the most important early photographers 

and a pioneer of photography as an art form. 

Cream tea, country pub style, at The Highdown Inn. 

The cream teas and cakes here are legendary. 

Enjoy them in the cosy tea room, once the 

salon of Julia Margaret Cameron and where she 

entertained guests, or in the pretty, sunny garden 

with views to Freshwater Bay and the sea. 

dimbola.co.uk 

Enjoy a cream tea in a traditional country pub 

setting at The Highdown Inn. Set in an Area of 

Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the 

Tennyson Trail, it’s the perfect stop-off for walkers 

and cyclists who have worked up an appetite. 

Take your cream tea at the bar or in the adjoining 

restaurant and when the sun is out, the garden is 

perfect to relax in. 

highdowninn.com 

Make like celebrity chef James Martin and visit 

Bluebells Café at Briddlesford Lodge Farm 

Shop. He recently popped in whilst filming the 

popular ‘James Martin’s Great British Adventure’. 

Enjoy home-made scones, served with their very 

own golden Briddlesford butter plus raspberry 

and loganberry jam from The Fruit Bowl in 

Newchurch. The part that makes it really special 

is adding their own clotted cream made in the 

Bluebells’ kitchen with the cream from the awardwinning 

herd of Guernsey cows. Couple this with 

a refreshing pot of breakfast tea, served with 

Briddlesford milk (naturally).

Vegan Island 

From the garden to the plate – Ventnor Botanic Garden. 

Page 78 

Unless you have been living under 

a rock, you cannot have missed 

the rise of veganism into the 

mainstream eating trends.... 

Gone are the days when vegan eating was 

restricted to in the ‘middle of a field at a slightly 

off the wall festival’. These days, your local pub 

is as likely to serve a few vegan choices as having 

roasted peanuts behind the bar. 

With a fantastic, just launched vegan menu, The 

Anchor in Cowes is a great place to visit. One of 

the most popular pubs in Cowes, it’s famed for 

its laid-back vibe, live music and now, its varied 

menu. Try dishes such as sizzling spicy fajitas as 

recommended by the chef. 

theanchorcowes.co.uk 

The Anchor, Cowes have their own vegan menu as well as specials. 

Tansy’s Pantry, Godshill will blow your mind with tasty, completely vegan, food. 

A new restaurant, devoted solely to vegan food 

and drink, opened its doors just this spring. 

From the people behind Tansy’s Pantry (a lovely 

green double-decker bus full of vegan treats and 

tastiness, a regular feature at events and festivals 

across the Island) set in the heart of Godshill, it is 

fast gaining a must-visit reputation. Try the spicy 

chickpea and lentil dahl or the mouth-watering 

clementine chocolate orange cake. 

tansyspantry.co.uk 

For pub grub, places such as The Sun Inn, 

Calbourne, The Waterfront, Totland and 

The Steamer Inn, Shanklin all offer a wide 

range of meat and dairy-free home-made 

dishes, plus puddings too. The Quay Arts Café 

(quayarts.org/cafe) has a new chef and guess 

what, he’s vegan. Their usual veggie-friendly 

menu has been even further uplifted with all 

sorts of savoury delights and the hot chocolate 

even includes dairy-free whipped cream! 

sun-calbourne.co.uk 

waterfrontiow.com 



Fuel up on vegan treats in The Cow Co Restaurant & Bar. 

Tapnell Farm Park walks the line between 

something that pleases carnivores (the main 

restaurant is called ‘The Cow’ so pretty obvious 

what you can get there, beef at its best) but the 

Farm Park Café offers a whole host of vegan 

items, including cakes, light bites and loads 

of treats for the kids too. Dairy-free yoghurts, 

hot chocolates and lattes are served alongside 

vegan burgers. 

Page 79 

tapnellfarmpark.com 

ComiCoffee in Newport has its own vegan menu 

with a range of sweet or savoury waffles, paninis 

and non-milkshakes. This hybrid coffee house/ 

comic store offers a warm, inviting space to hang 

out where you can drink speciality beverages 

whilst reading your favourite comics or novels.

Above: Rosemary flower soup at Ventnor Botanic Garden. 

Below: The view from the balcony at Three Buoys in Ryde. 

Vegan nights are popping up all over the show 

too, whether at the local pub, or restaurants 

such as edulis at Ventnor Botanic Garden who 

regularly host themed nights and have a great 

range of vegan dishes on the menu. For posh 

nosh, places such as Three Buoys in Appley and 

The Seaview Hotel serve spectacular dishes 

free of meat. 

Check out the vegan waffles at ComiCoffee – they won’t disapoint.

Lazy Sunday 

Afternoon 

Page 90 

One of the nation’s most-loved dishes, 

the Sunday roast is synonymous with 

family – it’s a time for everyone to 

get together, share stories of the 

week gone by and look to the week 

ahead. From casual pubs to high-end 

restaurants, the roast dinner 

is one of the most important 

dishes on the menu… 

In the heart of the pretty village of Shorwell, 

The Crown Inn is a great place to take the whole 

family for a roast dinner. If the weather is fine, 

the garden really comes into its own with a 

freshwater trout stream and duck sanctuary, plus 

a play area for the kids. Inside, you will find a 

cosy and traditional pub, complete with its very 

own resident ghost. As for the roast itself, there 

are usually several meats, including a locallysourced 

option and a veggie choice. 


The Crown Inn, Shorwell, the perfect spot for a roast. 

Combine a river walk with a tasty roast at 

The Breeze Restaurant. Set in Island Harbour 

Marina, you can sit outside on the large terrace 

and watch the boats bobbing about with some 

ambient live music in the background. Kids can 

play on the outdoor play area with climbing 

frames and swings. There are plenty of choices 

for your dinner with sirloin of beef, lamb and 

turkey regularly on the menu, plus nut roast 

too. Super hungry? Why not upgrade to the 

extra-large meal? 

island-harbour.co.uk 


For a roast dinner with a view then try The Culver Haven Inn. 

For a grown-up, sophisticated take on a classic, 

Artisan Bar and Kitchen in Ryde is a great spot 

to relax and let someone else cook the roast 

dinner. Here, you can have two roast dinners 

plus a carafe of either house red or white wine 

for just £30. The Yorkshire pudding alone 

is worth booking for! 

artisanbars.co.uk 

Page 91 

Artisan, Ryde’s blackboard menu for Sunday roasts. 


If it’s a roast with a view you are after, then look 

no further than The Culver Haven Inn. Perched 

at the very top of Culver Down, look towards 

the cliffs of Shanklin in one direction and down 

towards Whitecliff Bay in the other. If you are 

bringing your four-legged friend, dogs will be 

welcomed by resident pub-dog Humphrey. 


The Chequers Inn, Rookley has been serving up 

roast dinners for decades. A real family-friendly 

pub in the heart of some of the Island’s most 

stunning countryside, you can enjoy the popular 

carvery every Sunday. Local meats are served 

alongside seasonal veg and you can wash it 

down with a local pint (or two).

Pooch Perfect 

The Island is a paradise for dogs 

(and their owners) with plenty of 

beautiful walks, places to explore, 

designated dog-friendly beaches 

and a whole host of places to take 

pooch out for a slap-up meal… 

Page 112 

The Buddle Inn, Niton, is 

one of the most dog-friendly 

pubs on the Island. Here you 

will find a mini-menu for your 

four-legged friend featuring 

Oscar and Pet’s Bistro food 

and treats. On the menu for 

owners, there is plenty of local 

produce and seasonal specials. 

Afterwards, you will also find 

a lovely walk right opposite, 

down to St Catherine’s 

Lighthouse and Castlehaven. 


The Buddle Inn, Niton where the whole family including the pooch are welcome. 


The Sun Inn, Calbourne, goes above and beyond to make your four-legged friends feel at home. 

So with so many dog-friendly places to choose from, bring the dog along too. 

After a spot of sightseeing along Winkle Street, 

The Sun Inn, Calbourne, is the perfect pit stop 

for tired legs. Dogs are warmly greeted by the 

landlord and resident pub-dog, with a dogfriendly 

menu and blankets for cold or wet 

doggies. You can relax with a bite to eat and a 

glass of something nice. 


Take your dog to meet The Cow at Tapnell 

Farm. Dogs are welcomed in the restaurant 

with treats and water bowls, as well as blankets 

and cushions to keep them comfy. Whilst they 

are being looked after, you can tuck into some 

delicious dishes including steaks, burgers and 

some classic restaurant favourites. 


For a dog’s dinner with a difference, Off The 

Rails in Yarmouth is the place to go. Walk the 

old railway line before settling down in the 

converted station building with a bite for you 

and one for the dog too. Puddings are not 

limited to just human customers either, thanks 

to the range of Billy + Margot dog ice creams 

on offer. 

offtherailsyarmouth.co.uk 

Dogs are welcome at the popular Seaview Hotel 

situated in this pretty seaside village. Although 

not allowed in the main restaurant, they are 

welcome in both The Pump Bar and The Naval 

Mess. When the sun is shining, take your tea 

outside to the terrace and look out towards 

Seagrove beach – where dogs are allowed 

all year round.
