Good coffee and service. Dog friendly. Right on the beach.

Wife and I arrived for breakfast at 10.15. This is the IOW Garlic Farm! Popular attraction. People tend to judge people/events/environments within 60 seconds or very much less than that in most cases. I arrived in the restaurant and very nearly immediately walked out. Why? The immediate initial welcome. There wasn't one. Two lady members of staff, + a guide(??) fanning guide books taking to these two waiting staff .... meanwhile for 38 seconds we were ignored whilst they carried on chatting. They saw us. We were three feet away......but they carried on chatting. Bloody infuriating. Eventually we were sat, ordered, the food was quite brilliant. Presentation, quality, taste. Wow. The kitchen performed superbly. Accent on garlic but the mushrooms, tomatoes, are a combination to die for. Crikey they were good. We spent £46 on breakfast and £63 in the gift shop, the latter after we'd walked round the garlic farm itself. Perhaps the "management" up the stairs in the corner holding court in a seemingly authoritarian manner of self importance might ponder my spend per head? You were lucky to get it, you nearly got nothing at all. Never forget the basics, people buy people first, if that happens, they might just buy your product. Tony Perrin, West Sussex.

Amazing location, great coffee, great staff, and that's all you need. Would most definitely recommend. Been there twice since returning to the island and still as good, will miss me morning coffee there looking over the beech.

Delicious cod n scampi bites with perfectly cooked chunky chips. With friendly helpful staff serving and a perfect beach view with the sounds of breaking waves.
Even the seagulls were perfectly behaved!
Well done and thank you 😊

We’re local and we love it. Relaxed atmosphere, full of sunshine vibes from staff and location. Love a breakfast here and son loves cheesy chips!

Stopped off here for some Coffee, chips and Ice Cream. The coffee and chips were Fantastic and come in a decently sized portion. The ice cream was ok. Lovely views and staff were attentive.

The food is here amazing. I had the chickpea ciabattas and chunky chips and it was probably the best lunch I had while I was in Isle of Wight. Conveniently located, welcoming staff and mouth watering food. If you are sunbathing and want to get lunch in Sandown Beach, highly recommend this place.

I've been a frequent visit over the last 6 years or so. Big English never disappoints whilst sat pretty much on the beach.
On my most recent visit I had a bacon bre and cranberry sandwich. Oh wow it was warm and so so tasty I want to go back just for another one.
I also had a very tasty carrot cake. And coffee with oat milk.
Lovely friendly staff too. I highly recommend.
