ith its fantastic beachside setting and extensive views to
Culver Cliffs on one side and Sandown Pier to the other,
the Driftwood Beach Bar and Grill is just about one of the most
relaxing places you’ll find to sit and take in the views, as you
enjoy a relaxing drink, leisurely lunch or romantic sunset dinner.
As its name suggests, the Driftwood is best known for its
classic grills – with everything from rump steaks to Cajun
chicken – but the varied menu also includes breakfasts and
lunchtime snacks and sandwiches, as well as a seafood bar and
delicious stone-baked pizzas.
You’ll also find a huge selection of cocktails to try, and during
the summer, a programme of live entertainment to look out for.
Also look out for a special offer of 50% off, when you return
for a second meal.
For the latest on the live entertainment programme, see the

he Beach Hut is a little al fresco seasonal seafood cafe right
on Forelands beach in Bembridge. They are a dog friendly
cafe based on a dog friendly beach.
Their food is Mediterranean in influence with lots of seafood
and local seasonal produce. They specialise in IW crab while also
featuring some rather lovely vegetarian dishes. Customers who
require gluten free are fully catered for.
From 3 till 4.30pm a lovely afternoon tea is on offer with
scones, clotted cream, fruit, a glass of elderflower fizz and little
sandwiches.
The Beach hut is not licensed, but are happy for you to bring
your own wine to sip with your food and don’t charge corkage.
Glasses, wine coolers and bottle openers are provided.
Reservations are a must as on a hot and sunny day they are
usually full for lunch. Call or text and they’ll pop your name in the
diary. To make a reservation for lunch, call or text 07832 127737.
