Festival Diner Bar — Restaurant in England

Wet and windy Monday with 12 of us needing breakfast before heading for the ferry. Some of us want fry ups, some hope for healthy options, we've got 2 small kids and a dog. Hmmmm....challenging situation that could easily turn tense. This place dropped like a blessing from heaven right down in front of us. Fry up sorted. Healthy avocado seeded wholemeal bagel sorted. Dog welcome. And - amazing - porridge with banana for the kids. Smoothies, coffees, alt.milk options and everybody was happy. Great welcome, excellent service, clean and tidy and ... don't miss the history dotted all around the walls. Don't pay at your table, jump up and pay at the desk so you can see the original 1970 posters and newspaper reports about isle of wight festival. Hendrix, Dylan, naked news cameramen and spaced-out NME staff reporters. Atmosphere by the ton here. Met Annie Liebovitz in the toilet,...

Everytime we visit the island we come to this place to eat, we have been about 5 times now as the food is so so good!! The Decor is nostalgically amazing too, which is why we love it so much...... but I have to say that everytime, we have been served by a seriously unfriendly female member of staff that let's it down. Its a shame that she greets us with such attitude every time, when it really doesn't take much to smile and make ppl feel welcome! But on the whole this place is great and we would recommend it...

Retro 50's America inspired cafe/diner on Union Street, Ryde. Lovely decor featuring red upholstered booths that could have been lifted straight from the set of American Graffiti. A warm welcome and attentive service. Dirty Harry Burgers were great and welcome on a Monday afternoon in early March. A big feature of the decor is a fabulous collection of posters and memorabilia of the Isle of Wight Festival from 1968 to date. Good music playing - everything clean and tidy. We look forward to returning next time...
