We absolutely loved this place. The location really could not be better. Its on a lovely sandy…read morebeach. The place is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, child friendly and most importantly serves amazing food. We went back quite a few times. We tried a lot of dishes and every single one was delicious. They are famous for the award winning crab cakes but there is so much more to enjoy here. The fish and chips, the crab avocado crayfish stacks, the seafood medley, the seafood salad, the crab sandwiches. I could go on and on. (Tip: try their wonderful choice of prosecco- a stunner!)

The Willow Tree is an award winning tea gardens in the heart of the beautiful village of Godshill…read more The food here is nice (although not spectacular) but what makes it stand out is the beautiful outside eating area surrounded by fountains, water cascading down the walls and a variety of beautiful plants and flowers. It was put together by quirky owner Ian who has obvious pride in his work, which includes beautiful old stone tables he made from beautiful slabs that were discarded by their owner. He discovered them buried on the side of the road and after some negotiation with the owner and with the help of eight men per slab, these beautiful pieces of history were created into lovely dining tables. You have to come here to see it for yourself, particularly if it's a warm sunny day. Look out for their fresh crab. It's to die for.

What has this tea room won an award for? Maybe with the previous owners perhaps?? Certainly not…read moreservice or value for money or quality of food.; The woman who served us in half term was extremely rude and the toilets looked like they needed a thorough clean! Do yourself a favour, there are lots more good, welcoming tea shops in Godshill! We won't be back!!

The Garlic Farm is a classic Isle of Wight experience (albeit I don't think much garlic is actually…read moregrown on the farm or even the island) which is consistently enjoyable. A couple of times I've even got to watch red squirrels eat while I dined. The chowder is really good - huge mussels and I recommend the smoked garlic bulb to start it's a real mix of flavours. Chicken caesar salad also goes down well. My son ate his whole meal (garlic sausage and wedges with baked beans) with real enjoyment. The bloody mary with black garlic vodka is sweeter than my preference but they brought out the vampire slayer hot sauve which balanced thar out and gave a massive kick! Some horseradish would make it even better. Children will enjoy the play equipment and fancy chickens and it's also fun to try all the samples in the farm shop. I'm a big fan of the garlic mayo.

I can still smell the garlic. And guess what - its not a bad thing ;)…read more So we biked up a long road to get there - uphill on a very sunny day and in the back of mind amidst the sweat I thought - this had better be worth it. And I have to say - it was! You are introduced to a variety of garlic spiced flavours, garlic horseradish, garlic mustard, garlic mayo, garlic pickles - you get the idea! They grow some of the most intriguing garlic you will ever see, white , brown and even black. We tried the famous black garlic ice cream and it wasn't bad ! There was also a young gent selling garlic flavoured corn on the cob which was equally if not more delicious. You can pick up some great gifts here and most friends am sure would love garlic seasoned jars or sauces :) they can last a while and quite inexpensive. Anyone visiting the Isle of Wight this is a must go !!

Lovely place for lunch in Steephill Cove, with a decking area reminiscent of a Florida beachfront…read morerestaurant with pretty much all seats having a sea view. The crab salad was very nice, the tasty dressing on the leaves meaning I kept eating even after i devoured the meat. Boyfriend's crab sandwich was a generous size and he really enjoyed it. Carrot cake was pretty nice too. Tad pricey but fine for the location.
