Appuldurcombe Restaurant at The Royal Hotel

If you're planning a trip or a romantic weekend getaway to The Isle of Wight, you have probably already heard of The Royal Hotel. Set in the coastal town of Ventnor, with outstanding views of The Isle of Wight's breathtaking coastline, it is also the only AA 4 star hotel in the isle. Lodged in this magnificent Victorian style edifice, is the Appuldurcombe Restaurant - an elegant space that presents exotic cuisine in truly outstanding ways.

Head Chef Alan Stanley and his team of chefs have been awarded 2 AA Red Rosettes for their culinary skills in the last 11 years. A smoked duck and fresh orange salad with apricot and ginger chutney makes an excellent starter. The roasted fillet of cod on crushed new potatoes and crab, served with saffron and mussel cream sauce could tempt even the most dedicated carnivore, to be followed perhaps by a passion fruit tart with raspberry sauce. There is also an extensive wine list and the service is perfectly in line with the four star rating. Relax, and revel in every bite. You're in the veteran hands of the award-winning Appuldurcombe Restaurant.
