Ganders Restaurant in Isle of Wight

Wonderful food. Can't wait to go back. Thank you

Unbelievably good food, very covid friendly- an absolutely amazing experience. Will be back!

The best restaurant around! Starters, main and desert were delightful 👍

Sunday lunch was well presented and and delicious , with great roast potatoes but missing a Yorkshire pudding presumably as I had a lamb roast ; lovely genteel family run established restaurant ! If I lived nearby I would visit again but we were on holiday and could not get booked in unto the end of our holiday , so can’t visit again 😑the menus provided gluten and dairy free options 🙂

Very friendly family run restaurant, you can always rely on the food being spot on, highly recommended

Had a lovely meal with the family (6yo and 9yo)My 9yo ordered plaice and they returned to say the chef could fillet the fish for him, this was not requested and really appreciated, the sauce was also put on the side just in case, but he loved the sauce. My 6yo had a soup starter and really liked it. They have clearly worked very hard to be open during COVID and remain safe. Really tasty food, very good service and four happy diners.

We had a delicious take-away meal from Ganders this evening. My husband, Anthony, thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Supreme (the vegetables were up to Iain's usual high standard) and I enjoyed every mouthful of the Butternut Squash Curry. Take-away meals are a new enterprise for Ganders and I would thoroughly recommend them on our first experience.

BIRTHDAY CELBRATIONI cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Me and my family were attending a family wedding in Ryde on Saturday 31st August and it was my 60th birthday the following day on Sunday 1st September, so it was a great opportunity to get all of my close family together for a celebratory meal. It had been 35+ years since I last visited the Isle of Wight so I did not know of the best places to eat. I therefore looked at the on-line reviews and approached 5 local restaurants in the area to see what they could offer for a Sunday lunch time. Iain was the first (and only one of two) to respond and he quite happily put together a menu for me based on his popular Sunday dishes. The choice was fantastic and included catering for three under 5's and those that were vegan. As well as a delightful and attentive service the food was excellent. It was beautifully presented, extremely well cooked and delicious. Iain and his team certainly helped make the occasion. When I next get back to the Isle of Wight (hopefully not too far away) I will certainly be paying them another visit. Thank you again Iain.

I eat here every time i visit the island with my family, im vegan and eating our can still be a struggle! Not at Ganders!! with a heads up before hand im always delighted with the amazing tasting food and the worlds best roast potatoes! Lovely family run restaurant that i cannot reccomend enoughAimee

Lovely staff. Very friendly. Presentation is nice too. Food looks great, unfortunately, we did not feel the taste matched the quality of the presentation. We couldn't quite put our finger on what was missing from the dishes. But it certainly lacking something. Will try again another day to see if things improve.
