We go here for lunch if we get hovercraft to Isle of Wight. It’s about 40 minute walk along the beach from Ryde and it’s a good place to stop to eat or drink. Check out Dads Army in the garden

This is good for a fancy dinner or also a great spot for cocktails before going on anywhere for the night. Quite a grown up classy decor.
