One of the joys of self catering is picking where to eat each night of your stay. On the island, there a wide selection of establishments to pick from, so we’ve pulled together this eating out guide.
There are a selection of restaurants, cafes, pubs and more open for table service and takeaway. We’ve been out and about checking on all of the various establishments in Shanklin and the surrounding towns and villages, Sandown, Godshill, Ventnor and more, to collate a list of as many as we could find!
As we continue our research, we’ll keep updating the page. We’d recommend checking on the provided links, mainly for the relevant establishment’s Facebook pages, for updated on hours, booking and service, as well as regular winter closures.
