Fabulous menu. Quality food. delicious taste and great service !
Highly recommend
Visited 4 years ago,then I would have given it a 5*..... went tonight being, Thursday 12 October 2017.. again even better service, food was amazing, a must if on the Isle of Wight, may need to book as quite a small restaurant only about 7 tables... 5 � all day long...
If you're looking for a overall fantastic dining experience then you should get yourself down to ganders in St Helen's.
The food is totally delicious and the staff are friendly. You can't beat it!!
It will always be my choice for a lovely meal out.
Lovely, relaxing lunch today. I had a wonderful mackerel starter with sweet potato chips and then Sea Bass with crab risotto. I also stole a few roast potatoes which were easily the best restaurant roasties I've had for ages!
Lovely home cooked food with wonderful flavours. Cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Our first visit (shame on us!), but it certainly won't be our last. Delicious meal, thank you all very much :-)
Once again my husband and I had a lovely meal. The food was beautifully presented, taste and quality was perfect and as usual, hospitality was warm and welcoming.
Very special. We had a table for 6 and the food was truly excellent. The main courses our table had included Beef Medallions, The liver, a vegan curry, the fish curry and the Duck. Everyone was impressed and delighted. Lovely service. It was our second visit and this time we took friends and we were not disappointed. We will be back. 👌
Excellent menu, unmarketable food, great service attention to detail.
Each time when we dine in Ganders I am coming back with more inspiration for a new dishes and incredible taste combinations.
Loved, loved, loved....
Lovely little restaurant, excellent food and really attentive staff. Our favourite place we’ve eaten at on the island.
The whole menu sounded delicious, everything homemade and the dishes we had were brilliant - the dessert was a particular highlight.
Our first time on IOW and found this lovely little Restaurant only 2 miles down the road from the touring park we are staying at. Absolute little gem of a place, great that they allow dogs, really accommodating, Staff and owners are amazing, food is superb, they will also adapt to suit your palate. Would highly recommend. Many thanks
Our first visit this evening.
Food was delicious, highly recommend the seafood bisque and sea bass & tiger prawn curry. Absolutely lovely meal, atmosphere, and service.
Ganders restaurant on the Isle of Wight offers a culinary delight! Intricate flavor combinations wowed my taste buds, and the service was top-notch. A must-visit for food enthusiasts.
Fabulous family run restaurant. Unfortunately no kiddies' menu but always have a lovely time.
We stayed in Nodes point, just round the corner and a 15 min walk from the restaurant (via the beach road!) and ate here for Sunday lunch. Absolutely top class, in fact the best roast beef we’ve had! It’s only a small restaurant so booking is recommended. Service was brilliant. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, esp on a Sunday. 10/10.
An absolutely wonderful little restaurant
Looked after so well, a must place to visit but make sure you book.
Had a lovely meal here - food was amazing and the owners and staff lovely. Thank you!
Our first visit this evening for about 4 years due to Covid etc and not being able to stay on the IOW but still as great as ever. Lovely food, great service, wouldn't go anywhere else for a special meal. Thank you.
Family over, wanted to treat them to a lovely dinner, we were not disappointed, in fact they were amazed at the beautiful food at such a good price and the great friendly service. The Fillet Steak medallions were so tender and tasty, whilst the Raspberry and White Chocolate Bread and Butter pudding was to die for. Highly recommend and thank you for a great dinner 😁
Good food but a bit to expensive to go regularly
The best restaurant around! Starters, main and desert were delightful 👍
Had a lovely meal with the family (6yo and 9yo)
My 9yo ordered plaice and they returned to say the chef could fillet the fish for him, this was not requested and really appreciated, the sauce was also put on the side just in case, but he loved the sauce. My 6yo had a soup starter and really liked it. They have clearly worked very hard to be open during COVID and remain safe. Really tasty food, very good service and four happy diners.
Sunday lunch was well presented and and delicious , with great roast potatoes but missing a Yorkshire pudding presumably as I had a lamb roast ; lovely genteel family run established restaurant ! If I lived nearby I would visit again but we were on holiday and could not get booked in unto the end of our holiday , so can’t visit again 😑the menus provided gluten and dairy free options 🙂
We had a delicious take-away meal from Ganders this evening. My husband, Anthony, thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Supreme (the vegetables were up to Iain's usual high standard) and I enjoyed every mouthful of the Butternut Squash Curry. Take-away meals are a new enterprise for Ganders and I would thoroughly recommend them on our first experience.
What a wonderful little gem in St Helens had a excellent meal, the staff were very attentive & professional. If you want something special visit Ganders. Thank you..
BIRTHDAY CELBRATION
I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Me and my family were attending a family wedding in Ryde on Saturday 31st August and it was my 60th birthday the following day on Sunday 1st September, so it was a great opportunity to get all of my close family together for a celebratory meal. It had been 35+ years since I last visited the Isle of Wight so I did not know of the best places to eat. I therefore looked at the on-line reviews and approached 5 local restaurants in the area to see what they could offer for a Sunday lunch time. Iain was the first (and only one of two) to respond and he quite happily put together a menu for me based on his popular Sunday dishes. The choice was fantastic and included catering for three under 5's and those that were vegan. As well as a delightful and attentive service the food was excellent. It was beautifully presented, extremely well cooked and delicious. Iain and his team certainly helped make the occasion. When I next get back to the Isle of Wight (hopefully not too far away) I will certainly be paying them another visit. Thank you again Iain.
