South East Beach Cafe in Isle of Wight

We came here for a fish and chip lunch, with a sea view. We got both, but terribly disappointed to be served what was clearly frozen fish, as in the sort of stuff you can buy in the supermarket and cook yourself. Not the lovely looking fish and chips pictured on the website. Friendly people, great location, let down by the food. I get that places sell out of things, but we weren’t told it wouldn’t be proper battered fish. Was the biggest disappointment of our holiday.

First lunch in IOW and this is a superb place. Cod goujons with fries is an absolute ideal lunch. Fresh food with great views. Will come back again before we leave.

A great cafe right on the beach. We enjoyed a great brunch with fantastic service. Would highly recommend. Dog friendly.

Stopped here today and bought 2 lattes, a piece of Cappuccino cake & a piece of victoria sponge cake. It was all nice. The cakes were fresh and tasty, and portion sizes were really good. It cost £12 altogether but was well worth it.The man who served us was friendly and polite.Would definitely go here again :-)

Not overly impressed by any aspects of our visit. Thought the view was lovely, the coffees are weak and come in paper cups - so a single use product. The food wasn’t impressive and we felt the service lacked attention and a warming manner. We weren’t greeted or even smiled at by the lady working, she spent most of her time on her private phone within earshot of all the guests. After reading lovely reviews, we were very disappointed and won’t be returning.Sorry

Great location but food and coffee not up to much.Coffee served in cardboard cup and not great. Sausages used in English breakfast were the cheapest ones you could buy…Service was lack lustre in the extreme.Fantastic location when the sun is shining, a great shame the product or service is up to the place….A shame.

Nice location, but ordered a sausage bap for £4.50 which was filled with cheap & tasteless sausages, only made edible with plenty of HP sauce. There are better places locally for a good quality breakfast, with keener prices.

We enjoy coming down here on a sunny afternoon for a wander along the front or the beach and end up at the South East Beach Cafe for a coffee each and something to eat be it Cheesey Chips or a sandwich or a light meal. Nothing elaborate or expensive. We always have friendly service and good food. There is always plenty of customers to have a chat with, a lot of them local people - which to me speaks volumes about the South East Beach Cafe. Give it a try for yourself and see what you think.

Lovely place. Great views. Inside or outside seating. Delicious food! Friendly staff.

I ordered a Flat White with oat Milk this morning. Unfortunately,I was served by a very bad-tempered elderly lady and my coffee was firstly much too hot and secondly that had nothing to do with a flat white. It was a black coffee inflated with boiling water and a bit of milk foam on top
