The Bandstand - Isle of Wight

Fresh and fillings sandwiches served with fresh salad and crisp which is a lovely touch. My daughter loved her desert and even asked for more. The range of food offered her is incredible and they cater for all our families allergies with dignity

Beautiful views over beach. Food and service excellent. Mussels from specials board outstanding. Perfect will def return

This was our second visit for lunch during our week-long vacation. The service was excellent, with very helpful staff and beautiful food. The fish and chips were amazing, definitely worth trying. The kids menu was also surprisingly good. Overall, a visit to this restaurant is highly recommended.

Had a great Sunday lunch there, having two of the choices on the specials board. Good food, friendly staff and a terrific view over the beach and sea.

I visited this small restaurant in Sandown in September 2022 while on holiday. The staff were welcoming of our last-minute booking and provided me with an allergen matrix when I asked about dairy-free options. The food was good, though a bit basic. Some dishes seemed to be trying too hard, and the menu would benefit from either keeping it simple or elevating it. The service started off attentive but faltered when a large table arrived, leaving us struggling to get the team's attention for more drinks. We skipped dessert due to the slow service. Overall, a decent meal, but I would rate it 3.5 out of 5. I would consider returning, but the team needs to improve their service, and I would probably try a different dish next time.
