He said it was 'lovely jubley' and will have it again. I had the pulled pork and apple with cider pie with chips. All delicious, with special mention to the wonderful chips. All followed with homemade mince pies. The service was very friendly and welcoming. We will return.

Oasis is a fantastic shop that I have visited on a couple of trips to the Isle of Wight…read more They sell all sorts of furniture, ornaments, gifts and much more. Some of the teak furniture they import from Indonesia is just stunning. I have also bought some well priced and unusual items such as ornamental cars made from wire, and candle lanterns made from recycled bottles. Prices are very reasonable and stock changes all the time. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are on the island and is well located between Sandown and Bembridge

We got tea lights, 2 packs of simmering scented beads (for burning in an oil scent burner) and a Indian inspired oil burner for £8!!! I would have expected the burner to be at least £10 on it's own!

It overlooks a busy bit of sea; one can watch ships in the distance entering and leaving Portsmouth and Southampton with local sailing boats racing in the foreground and the perennial small lobster catching fleet always busy.

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!)

There's no place like home?…read more I came here for a stop in coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the gimmick coffee they had on. Lavender Flat White. Amazing. I've also had a latte from here and it was lovely. The decor is the expected hipster chic and. While maybe that will look a bit ordinary what these guys and girls have done here is also focus on layout and so nothing is too bustling. So, to quote Arnie McMuscles, I'll be back.

The store offers a wide selection of drinks (catering to dietary options with milk substitutes also). If you're a real coffee lover though - try the single origins menu (these regional Coffee's rotate seasonally according to availability). Why not grab a slice of vegan banana bread or cake to accompany your hot drink? The banana bread here is honestly hard to beat (sourced from Bread Addiction). Perfect for a first date / catch up with a friend. Garden access too for sunny days
