The Isle of Wight is a paradise for food lovers. My Passion for cooking is influenced by the vast amount of local produce on offer. I have fresh fish just outside my door, organic vegetables growing in the fields near by and various wild herbs growing right outside the award-winning restaurant The Hambrough.

The incredible amount of local ingredients on offer have have helped me retain a Michelin star for three years as well as positioning The Hambrough at number twenty in The Good Food Guide “Astonishing food from a true artist.” and 17th in the Sunday Times, Hardens Top 100.

With so much to share; visit us here in beautiful Ventnor and join me in my passion for the Island. You can even stay and enjoy our 5 AA Star boutique rooms with magnificent sea views or if you like unfussy food in a unique atmosphere, try our sister restaurant The Pond Café; set in the picturesque village of Bonchurch just down the road.
