map_freshwaterKings Manor Farm has recently opened an excellent shop and cafe on the outskirts of Freshwater. Dispite being almost impossible to find it has a large and loyal following who come for the very best fresh food and local produce.

The cafe is great place to enjoy lunch and on sunny days one can sit outside in a courtyard and enjoy a pleasent rural scene. The menu includes hot and cold dishes such as soups, sandwiches, and simple hot dishes such as home made burgers and pies which include vegitarian versions and are all made with farm or local produce.

This friendly and welcoming tea garden is a hidden treasure on the Isle of Wight. This secluded sun trap garden over looking the sea is the perfect place to enjoy the range of  excellent home made cakes and light lunches. The fruit cake may well be the best on the Island (we are open to other recommendations).

map_yarmouthWinners of the "Best Island Cream Tea"

chessellpotteryThe delightful pottery, shop and café are a delightful experience and offer a whole morning or afternoon of activities.

The pottery is a small operation with individual hand made items decorated in attractive patterns.  The walls are lined with tempting items in both bright an subtle colours. Collectable items like beautiful little milk jugs could be a reason to return time and again to keep up the collection.

Hands on pottery activities take place daily and both adults and children enjoy hand painting their own pottery and maybe creating a collectors item of their own. Children seem instantly swept up by pottery enthusiasm of the place and can barely contain their excitement as the glazes come out.

The café is a major part of the pottery and offers good espresso coffee and a range of teas.  Cakes, flapjacks, brownies and much more provide good sustenance for hungry potters. Their speciality is the cream tea which is award winning and described as the “Ultimate Island Cream Tea”.  

In the summer the patio area outside the café is a beautiful suntrap and out of any wind and the adjoining grassed area with scattered trees and bushes allows children (and spritely adults) to run off some excess energy.
