The Larder Pie House - Isle of Wight

When Im on the Isle of Wight, always take time to visit this wonderful cafe. Please try and make it too. Their fun is excellent value. Im coming back in April 2020.

Really disappointed in this place, unprofessional staff bad coffee, there are many nicer cafés than this. It used to be a really nice cafe but it has definitely gone downhill.

I like the food and very nice cup of tea and coffee and cakes why you wait for your train? If you want to go on your train that is and very beautiful views

Okay, it’s well over 2 years since my last Gaslight review, when I said then that it was a Superb Café, and worthy of attendance. Unfortunately since that time I did visit a few months ago for Coffee, and had an unimpressed time as a party of Women and their Children were noisily disturbing the peace, with the added inclusion of the Café’s owner who clearly knew them, but I put that visit down to being unlucky, so I didn’t report on it. However this visit was equally as poor inasmuch as although it was relatively peaceful in there, the quality of the Coffee I had was poor with little flavour, and it was not that hot. My Wife said that her Cappuccino was also tasteless and luke warm as well, added to which the Lemon Cake which she had, and that I sampled, lacked Lemon taste, and was dry going on stale. The fact that we left over half the Cake and most of her Cappuccino was testament to what we were served. All in all a very disappointing experience, and as such I don’t think I’ll be going out of my way to visit again.

Very friendly, kind staff, nothing too much trouble, locals use this cafe and they offer an excellent breakfast, toasted sandwiches are delicious, reasonable prices and you can sit and watch the trains come and go..free parking too.
