The Old Fort in Isle of Wight

Had a really nice meal here whilst visiting the Island to see family. The service was prompt and efficient. The food was excellent - beautifully cooked, fresh and well presented. It is most certainly not the cheapest - but perhaps this is a case of getting what you pay for. However, I really could not fault it. I hope to be back on my next visit to the Island.

Amazing, busy atmosphere. Attentive and speedy service. great variety and quality of food and healthy wine list. Great local gin.I had the Burger, which was high quality, well seasoned and well constructed. However it was slightly overdone and dry, would have benefited from a burger sauce or relish for moisture and sweetness. The fries were amazing - perfectly crisp and seasoned, just delicious. Pricing is reasonable for a gastro pub, views are amazing over to the mainland.

What a lovely place for aeal with friends or family or even just a drink. The staff are so friendly with nothing too much trouble. There is bar seating down stairs and a restaurant upstairs. Some seats have a lovely view out too sea. There's a good choice on the menu and the prices aren't too high. The food was really well cooked and had lots of taste.

Just had a wonderful meal at The Old Fort tonight with my two sons. The dishes on the menu and specials were all really interesting - making it really hard to choose. Nothing bland here!The food came very promptly and it was really excellent - as was the service. Very friendly vibe in the restaurant.Highly recommend this place.

We had lunch here on 2 consecutive days whilst we were touring the Island. Both days, we hadn't booked, and were warmly welcomed and had great tables. We both ate huge sandwiches with salad and fries on the first day. On the 2nd day, we chose something more substantial as we were catching an evening ferry. My Wife had the risotto which she said was superb, I had a chicken and mushroom pie from the specials board. What a pie - absolutely huge with mash and loads of lovely vegetables to accompany it. Unfortunately, I was defeated and couldn't finish it. It really was one of the best pies I've ever had. We weren't rushed on either day- we were glad to sit and enjoy a coffee whilst overlooking the amazing view. We had a great time at The Old Fort- lovely people, and brilliant food. It's a real gem- we love going there whenever we are on the Island. Many Thanks !

Delicious lunch, nice surroundings. I had Roasted Mediterranean Veg on couscous in filo pastry basket.

Lively little pub, serving food and drink, where you'll be lucky to get a table or a parking space most of summer. Nice location right by the sea so great place towatch the world go by. Can't comment on the food since the new management, but the changes look interesting and will edit my review when I visit again.

lovely pub, unfortunately when our party of 6 visited (3 of whom were visitors to the island) 14.09.21, niether service nor food was as good as other people have reported in their reviews.one meal had to be returned because it was served burnt & the sea bass was surprisingly tiny!...not all bad news though, the majority of our meals were ok, but pricey for what we got.(maybe they had a staffing problem when we went?)

I literally can not say enough about this gem in Seaview.We were never rushed. The food is great with a selection of specials that changed during the week.Something for everyone on the menu

We visited The Old Fort in a party of 20. We normally expect some issues when we visit restaurants in such a larger number but the guys at the old fort absolutely nailed it. Food came out all together, it was delicious and piping hot. Our server, Conner delt with 20 Mancunians professionally and was on the ball all the way through. Thanks guys for giving us another lovely memory of this beautiful island.
