We always eat at TOF whenever we come to IoW, as you always know you are guaranteed a good meal, in a friendly and welcoming pub. The staff are excellent and the views are superb.

Brilliant. Food, service and atmosphere all without fault

Dish you order won?t match what you?ll get. Overpriced, at least for the catch of the day.
When I asked a member of the staff where my spinach were (see picture), she said the beans were cooked on spinach water (??). Sounded like a gaslight attempt.
Minuscule portion for 34£ + 2 small pieces of bread for 3.99£?

Great atmosphere
Food was average
Setting is fantastic, right by the sea.
Sadly every time we have been here, we have never had good service.
One time with a party of six, they even forgot my wife?s meal.
Could be a fantastic place but we have only ever been disappointed whenever we have been.

Great location, fantastic freshly prepared food, love the bright and cheerful decoration. A great place to have a relaxed lunch with the family (3 kids 13-9 yo)

We have always received a warm welcome at The Old Fort. I booked for 18 of us (a group walk from Ryde to Seaview and back) I had to change the numbers a few times and add a dog at the last minute but they were very accommodating. The food was efficiently served and very good. Hot and tasty.

A great pub to visit while on the island. A great selection of food and a lovely location. Crab and chips is a favourite. See you again next year.

Well regarded and popular high end but deliciously simple restaurant. Serves locals and the large visiting sailing community. It?s busy and noisy through the early evening and guests seek post sailing sustenance. We had a large family dinner. Starters and mains plus drinks. Service is friendly and relaxed and surprisingly quick given how busy it is. Lots of fish dishes on offer and they nail it. I had the crab bruschetta followed by the grilled plaice - both superb. Others had crab ramekin - excellent, and smoked mackerel pate. Only downside was the burgers main dishes which were run of the mill. Decent sized portions. It?s not cheap (£300+ for 7) but they do it well. Lots to like and a great location.
