Long John Eater - Ryde

What a beautiful fund on our last trip to the iow. the young lady who served us was amazing, so polite and helpful, a great advantage for this beautiful caffe. eating was nice and the wetar sauce was the best we ever had. will definitely return on our next trip to this great little place.

Had a quick bite to eat today. Had the scampi dip. The tartare sauce was perfect for the salad that came with it. Such a polite waitress. Will visit again when we come back to Ryde. Thank you

A super little olde world cafe with a huge menu selection. They also have an extensive children's menu. Everything covered from a mean breakie to roast dinners, they even do jelly and icecream (which takes you back to to childhood birthday parties). You can get tea and scones at any time of the day. If you think school dinners then this is about the mark. Portions are plentiful and the hot choc drink is delicious. It is situated on the seafront so good views out to sea. Toilets are upstairs. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Lovely place clean friendly staff,. breakfasts spot on and the menu was good too ,lots of choice better than some pub menus !! Couldn’t fault the place ..will definitely be going back there :

The guy who served us was absolutely lovely! I feel that the way he spoke to us delivered the food service, he should be working in a 5 star restaurant, not there! Unfortunately the decor completely let's the place down. It's so dated smells pretty bad upstairs. Such a shame as they have a fantastic location the seaviews from upstairs are beautiful! I do feel with abit of money invested, a freshen up with some paint new flooring, this place could be something amazing! It's also very quiet in there, even with other customers talking, you do hear every word they are saying so you feel you have to whisper to have abit of privacy. That being said, it is always busy in here when we've walked by, I think this is due to the low prices great service. The food wasn't bad you get alot for your money so I can't give it any lower than a 3 star Hope this review doesn't come across too negatively!
