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 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.

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.

Stirring sticks are on the side to taste different dishes of garlic. Although it says "no double dipping" every person I saw put the same stick in every pot after tasting it!!!!!!! So, the saliva from every different person was transferred from pot to pot. Then a child sneezes over 3 or 4 pots with no hand or hanky over mouth. I have never come across anything so disgusting. Even after I pointed out to a man what he was doing he still carried on. This needs stopping or controlling by staff. If I coukd give this a zero score I would
