What a fantastic place to eat the most delicious vegan food. Very kind and knowledgeable staff who make sure you have a tasty meal. Both the drink and food menu are really varied and well thought out. There are regular specials and tapas ideas to pick from.
Portion sizes are good and the meals are skillfully cooked and prepared. We have been a few times recently and will definitely be making it one of our regular places to visit. The decor is well designed and feels cosy and welcoming. There is a fair sized inside area with tables and chairs and a covered area outside with benches.
Thank you again for a wonderful meal and experience! Well done to all your lovely staff!
Give The Bay a visit you will not be disappointed!
Lovely place!
Delicious vegan soups, tapas, and coffee. Everything I’ve had here has been delicious and I’m excited to try more. Accommodating service and laid back atmosphere make you feel welcome and at home!
Brilliant vegan breakfast and coffee. Also taken cake home to eat later. Lovely friendly staff too. Recommend a visit.
Lovely vegan cafe with a nice selection of menu & specials. Food excellent.

You know when you've fallen in love; that feeling of sheer joy that draws a big smile across your face... I had that at The Bay.
This is a wonderfully female-led business in a cosy space - wood paneling lines the walls and floors like a log cabin with flourishes of subtle colour from the lighting, wall décor and food displayed in glass cabinets.
Stepping into the rustic setting, you're immediately greeted by a staff member who'll gladly assign you to a table - reservations are possible but wasn't necessary on the wintery afternoon I was there. Staff are friendly and show a keen interest to meet your dietary needs and avoid allergies.
There were many options in the way of food, but because it just so happened to be a Sunday, I had to have the Sunday roast experience. And I can tell you it's the best I've had by miles - not only is everything vegan but the very generous proportions are likely to have you downgrade from a 3-course to a 2-course meal - and such a shame because I would've been so pleased to test out the dessert!
The soup of the day was tomato, wonderfully blended with the right amount of thickness, accompanied by a couple of bread options. The roast itself has a few options of its own including the roulade and tart - both were very well received with crispy pastry surrounding the tasty filling. Lots of roasted vegetables are included and with variety too. But my favourite bit: the gravy was astounding. I think gravies can make or break a roast but they've absolutely cracked it with the consistency and savoury/umami flavours!
I made a special order for a Lotus Biscoff shake which they fulfilled but I think it could've been thicker - maybe go for another option if you're getting a drink.
Overall, a fantastic food experience and the best on the isle in my humble opinion, all at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!
This is a gem of a place. The food was great and the staff so accommodating. We visited twice during our stay and bought food to take away for later each time too. Can highly recommend the roasts, so many delicious vegetables to accompany the pasty or roulade on offer, never had gravy like it, so nice. The cakes there are yummy and a large variety to choose from. Their hummus was amazing, so want to recreate it at home. Even the hot chocolate was perfect. Go visit!
I was looking for a dairy-free iced coffee and could not find one anywhere in Sandown that offered them. We got to the Bay as they were locking up for the day and had switched off the coffee machines. So expected to be turned away.
To my surprise (and absolute delight!) The ladies invited us in, switched the machines back on, and made me a delicious iced coffee. Whilst there I also brought some cakes to take-away which tasted amazing!
10/10 for customer service and the food was top notch! I think I may have to visit Sandown more often now!
I had a double burger with dirty fries which was fantastic. I'm not a vegan but heard good things. Wanted to try it out while visiting family and the burger was easily one of the best I've ever had and the fries were delicious.
My partner had a light breakfast with avocado on a croissant which she really liked too. Unfortunately she was feeling ill before hand so we did have to rush out. This in NO WAY was a reflection on the food though and I felt a bit guilty I couldn't complement before I left the venue. So thought I'd leave a review.
100% will be back when I visit again.
Another perfect vegan eatery. The ‘bay sharing plater’ was outstanding and more than enough food for 2 people. The staff are very friendly which only adds to the venue. Will defiantly be a revisited place when we come back to the island
Ended up here purley by mistake,but decided to give it a go as we like to try somewhere different, but did not realise at first it was a vegan restaurant. Staff friendly, and food delicious, so pleased we decided to stay, 4hrs later we left, after a very enjoyable vegan experience . So thank all so much xx
