Best burgers ever! We had double cheeseburgers and chips (also delicious), fresh, hot and very tasty. We were on holiday but would go there again if returning to IOW.

The Hut

Colwell Chine Rd, Colwell Bay, Freshwater

We weren’t exactly looking for somewhere to eat, more for somewhere to have a coffee since we had a cooked breakfast and it wasn’t quite lunch time. However when we came across the hut, my curiosity got the better of me when I saw the beautiful decor and the larger ceiling to floor windows over looking the sea. We were ushered in and when we looked at the menu we were a little speechless. This is definitely not the type of place you stumble into for a quick bite to eat.
Despite the basic name, this restaurant was far from basic and that was reflected in the prices. I watched another couple enjoying a £120 surf and turf and share some lobster with their dog. After some persuasion we agreed to splash out a little and order a main meal to keep us going for the journey home. I ordered the steak as I do not like fish and the menu was very fish heavy. The steak was heavenly, full of flavour and cooked perfectly. My husband had the fish curry with was a red Thai sauce, I had a sneaky taste and it was also incredible. It was worth the money we paid and the atmosphere (loved their playlist) and beautiful decor made it for a perfect meal out. Had I a baby sitter and had we eating in the evening I think it would be even more perfect.

Kid-friendliness: Probably wouldn't take the kids If it was an option but it worked out well.

The Beach Hut Cafe

7 Cliff Dr, Christchurch

We sat on the beach for a late lunch, in the sun in late October and had a good honest lunch. Ordering was quick, short wait for food but it was spot on. All enjoyed and clean plates all round.

The Rabbit Hole IOW Tearoom & Chocolate Shop

Little gem of a place. The coffee is so good, I don't need sugar at all. We had home made blueberry Victoria sponge which was yummy, surrounded by vintage books. Paradise!

Colwell Captains Cabin Cafe

22 Colwell Chine Rd, Freshwater

A lovely spot to sit and have a bite to eat and watch the world go by on the water.
Delicious food (the crab sandwich is to die for!!), great service and a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
Probably not the cheapest, but so worth the price. The food was fresh, tasty and very quick.
10/10 would definitely recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Not just a seafood restaurant, plenty of options for all tastes and appetites.

Wheelchair accessibility: A handy ramp leads up the the patio and a small bump over the door frame.

Great proper woodfired pizza's - thin base, great toppings and good value compared to the traditional (not traditional pizza) joints, e.g. dominoes.

The Red Lion

Church Pl, Freshwater

Had a fabulous meal at The Red Lion tonight. It’s been a few years since we last visited and decided to visit again. We’ve heard good things about the food and we were not disappointed. The chicken and mushroom suet pie and ultra creamy mash with a delicious sauce were fabulous, and the apple crumble tart was scrumptious. Well worth a visit with friendly, welcoming staff and atmosphere.

Rainbow Fish Bar

1-2 Avenue Rd, Freshwater

Having seen recent disappointing reviews, I was slightly hesitant. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The cod was fluffy and the batter crunchy. The chips were fresh and full. Service was a little slow but it’s what you can expect when it’s cooked fresh to order. It looked like they still take preorders over the phone. Would definitely recommend. Curry sauce was tasty too! They deserve more positive reviews if tonight was anything to go by.

Parking: On street parking available.
