We loved it and will definitely visit again, the service was friendly, the venue was clean and offered a range of meals and beverages depending on the time you visit which was prepared with finesse and were of decent proportion, using fresh produce. The rock buns were homemade and delicious. Food was made to order, the view is stunning and offers a range of activities.

We usually try and visit here when on the IOW as the location and craft salads are really great! It's not easy to reach but a short walk is all it takes. We have seen it busy at lunch times and it's not possible to reserve a table so we try and get there early. A good range of freshly made sandwichs, a soup of the day and salads make a no nonsense menu, as mentioned the crab salads are lovely. Oh and it's Ventnor crab which is good to see. We'll be back for sure.

A wonderful little spot which used to be just your bog standard beachside cafe serving ice creams and bad coffee, which has now been transformed into a much more upmarket affair with excellent food and decent coffee. The menu could have been wider and the crab sandwich was quite simple for the price.

My wife and I had one of the best meals ever here, I had a full crab salad, and my wife had a half prawn salad, endless cups of tea from a teapot that never seemed to run out, lovely location, great service and great cost, never pressed to finish quickly, best kept secret on the Island.

Possibly the only Reason to struggle down to steep hill cove, although they don't do chevetts ( large prawns) , In all honesty there are more equal quality sea food restaurants at Bembridge (3) ,and without the hassle parking & heart busting struggle back up ,& beach isn't great compared to other island beaches either.

A real good, busy cafe near the beach. The food was very good and the service was quick. Seating was limited, and it fills up quickly. Toilets are situated about 50 m away, and we're reasonably clean. A nice lunch after a pleasant walk from town along the coast walk!

A hidden gem of a place, you have to walk down a steep ramp or stairs so not suitable for those with access requirements and there is no nearby parking but for those who don't mind a walk it's a beautiful place to visit.

Cracking place for fresh produce in Steephill Cove. Quite a rustic place with a decent selection of local produce!
