This place is great! A hidden gem. Don’t be fooled by the exterior, which sadly needs a lot of work and has been left to deteriorate. Inside this place is lovely. Lauren and Mark who run the place are extremely welcoming, friendly and deliver great service! The food is super cooked on site and locally sourced. I can recommend the soup and the delicious cream tea fruit scones. The inside of the building has a lovely feel to it with art deco vibe. Added to this the views are amazing!
Ventnor Winter Gardens was the perfect escape from the rainy weather outside! Inside, it felt so cozy and welcoming, like we were stepping into a family-friendly haven.
The decor was a delightful mix of modern and vintage, and the comfy seating made us feel right at home. We all enjoyed our meals - from the hearty full English breakfast to the cheesy goodness of Mac and cheese, and the satisfying fish and chips. My daughter loved the sausage sandwich and couldn't get enough of the garlic bread!
The best part was the friendly waitress who made our day even brighter with her helpfulness and warm smiles. And the chef was not just an expert in the kitchen but also a walking encyclopedia about the restaurant's history.
Despite the dreary weather outside, our time at Ventnor Winter Gardens was filled with joy and laughter. It's definitely a place we'll come back to for more wonderful memories!
This place has awesome views from the windows and outside space of Ventnor Bay!! We both had a Burger and chips which was very nice and filling while looking at the view! This is a real ale pub with local real ale! It was quiet when we were there but got busier as we left! Recommend it and the staff, who are helpful and friendly!!
Stopped off for a nice cup of coffee served with a smile and friendly chat. Nice views across the sea and surrounding gardens and a great example of art deco architecture, if sadly looking like it needs a little TLC. We didn't have anything to eat so can't comment on that side of things but we certainly enjoy our time here.
Attended The Winter Gardens for a wedding reception today. This venue has a great location looking out to sea. To outside terraces and one roof terrace. Fantastic for parties. The food was great, and catered for Vegans as well. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definately come here again and hear they do a lovely Sunday Roast.
Was greeted by friendly attentive staff the moment I walked into the building, I ordered the calamari, and was probably one of the best I’ve had and for such a competitive price too! not to mention the view to go with it… would highly recommend !!!
Parked in the town and walked to the front good variety of shops and eateries.
Nice walk along the front plenty of coffee shops and a good pub at the end we had ours in an art deco hotel that's halfway down/up the hill overlooking the harbour and sea scape
Nice location with lovely views of Ventnor. Popped in whilst walking the dog for a beer and sat in the sun enjoying the peace, warmth of the sun ☀ and the sea.
Top top top time!!
The organizers were stellar!
The friendliest people you could wish for the atmosphere was electric and of course the general smashed it what a night WELL DONE 👏
We were pleasantly surprised - delicious food with a 25 per cent discount. Bit of a wait but the fish cakes were home made and absolutely lovely. Burgers were great too. Would definitely recommend and the views are perfect as always.
Great play, lovely breakfast, recommend

Very pleasantly surprised on Saturday morning in the Winter Gardens. Very warm welcome and quick service despite having a few customers in front of us trying to get out of the rain. We will certainly go back again and try a meal there rather than a quick snack.
I hope you can keep going Winter Gardens. Thank you very much for your good service.
The cake and coffee for a fiver drew us in and we weren't disappointed. Mark made us feel so welcome and the views are amazing. Would highly recommend
I had creamy garlic mushrooms with baguette. Everything was fresh and very tasty
Sunny terrace area and smart tables and chairs inside. Quick and efficient service. Pleasant atmosphere with lots of events going on. the
Popped in to try the pie of the day ( chicken and vegetables) which was enormous, wholesome and very tasty. Really good chips too. Just a bit sad that I couldn't eat it all, but my dog is very happy 😁
Great place to call off, choice of food some gluten free and dog friendly.
