Location 28 Pier Street, Ventnor, Isle of Wight, PO38 1SX t: 0844 683 6509
The only traditional English café in the Victorian town of Ventnor, Tilly’s is a popular, family-friendly choice. Husband-and-wife team and Ventnor veterans, Jackie and Richard, guarantee an enjoyable visit with helpful staff and hearty, home-cooked fare using fresh local produce. Whether it’s a full English breakfast you’re after, a lunchtime baguette or something more substantial, there is a variety of options, each with a vegetarian alternative. Relax with a warm croissant and cream tea while perusing the morning papers, enjoy a ploughman’s or perhaps even a roast dinner. There are many favourites on offer, including steak, bangers and mash and traditional cottage pie, while the ‘hot crab toast’ with fresh, locally caught crab is well worth a try. With gluten-free alternatives, a takeaway service and children’s menu, there’s something for all. This long-standing café draws in locals and visitors alike – why not treat yourself to a homemade scone and a milkshake?

Harbouring some of the most beautiful countryside the Isle of Wight has to offer, Freshwater is also host to King’s Manor Farm. Set beside the River Yar estuary, this working farm is surrounded by an array of wildlife in an area of great biodiversity, so it’s a great place to catch some spectacular views. After your explorations, venture into the cosy atmosphere of the farm café. With fresh produce on display, amidst the delicious smells of home-cooked food, I sampled the signature beef burger served with dressed salad and Kettle crisps and my partner tucked into a delicious Welsh rarebit. Other highlights included the farm’s own Hebridean Salt Marsh lamb, homemade soup, baguettes, home-baked cakes and cream teas. Make sure you don’t miss out on the impressive selection of local produce, meats, homemade sausages and luxury handmade gifts to take home with you from the farm shop.
Open: Mon & Tues 10.30am-3pm; Thurs 10am-4pm; Fri & Sat 10am-5pm; Sun 10am-4pm (Call ahead on Wednesdays)
