针尖小屋

It’s not just the open fires and friendly service that make this such a warm and welcoming pub – the delicious beef fat crumpet and the sticky toffee pudding also help! The traditional building has origins dating back to the 11th century, so it's a place full of character, with the garden also supplying super-fresh produce for the clean, well-executed dishes. While there are more informal 'light' and 'large bites' on offer at lunch, the à la carte is available at all times to show off the kitchen's skills.

Head to the Wightlink ticket office, go up the external staircase and you will find yourself at this lovely harbourside restaurant. It's a large space with, as the name suggests, a wonderful terrace that's perfect for alfresco dining in the summer. Fish is to the fore on the classically based menu that makes the most of the island's ingredients and incorporates some dashes of creativity – such as the tongue-in-cheek 'crab and chips' consisting of crispy polenta fingers topped with fresh picked crab meat.
