The Hambrough Restaurant in Isle of Wight

Hadn't been back to the IoW for over ten years but last time we visited The Hambrough and it was superb.I'm glad to say it's still #1 of IoW restaurants with lovely ambience, staff and food.Mustn't leave it so long next time!

I love this hotel. Me and my husband stayed for 6 days. I can't say enough good things. The staff are amazing, the breakfast was the best I've ever had. The room was lovely with a great view of the sea. I would highly recommend it. The location is perfect for the beach and shops/restaurants A*****

The good food guide is SO RIGHTHaving read the glowing article by the good food guide a committed foodie like me just had to visit!Its important to me that I gave a balanced credible review after 1600+ reviews with 105 michelin stars.The menu isn't huge but it didn't need to be.Starter was a superb cured trout with delicious dressing.Main was one of the best halibut dishes I have ever eaten. Stunning cookery and beautifully crisp skin.The dessert was a dark chocolate milk feuille texturally superb with amazing flavours too.Toilets clean and well presented.If I was to offer any criticism at all, the waitress is hugely enthused by her role that she generally does well, but maybe tone her engagement down one notch?Huge kudos to chef, wonderful food

Everything about our evening was lovely. Absolutely wonderful staff and lovely ambience; classy without being stuffy and a very knowledgeable team. We absolutely loved the food and the drink and would highly recommend trying it out. Thank you :)

Went with my other half and our dog (they allowed our dog in the bar) and had a wonderful meal with great service. For the quality of the food very good value. We are also vegetarian and the chef specially prepared a menu for us in advance. Best food we’ve had on the island so far!

Lovely afternoon tea with probably the best scones I have ever tasted (and believe me. I have tasted a lot). The service was excellent, very friendly, unlimited tea and coffee and a box to take our leftovers home. To top it all the view from the table was fantastic

Great lunch with a lovely view.Booking required but definitely worth it!

Just had a lovely afternoon tea here, generous portion, all home made and really delicious. Staff really friendly and can't do enough for you. One star dropped only for lack of parking.

We stayed at this hotel on a couple nights' package with a meal in the restaurant on our second night. What a fantastic find! Lovely small boutique hotel with sea views. The studio room was very comfortable, the staff friendly and professional. Breakfasts were superb and the small restaurant was transformed for the evening meal with candles and subdued lighting. Once again the staff were attentive and friendly. The meal was absolutely fantastic under executive chef Matthew Tomkinson. If only we lived closer....

Me and my husband went for lunch last week and had the set menu, I had the risotto to start the salmon for main. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the pork main and loved it and the raspberry bakewell (best pudding he's ever had). The lady serving us was so wonderful. We had such a fantastic time. Great views, great service and great food!
