Seaside Café with View of Sandown Bay

More about the views than the food, but they did do a veggie breakfast and an OK (average) coffee (I'm a coffee snob).

Tip by

2.54 km

This old barracks at Puckpool is an interesting place to run through if you are running along the coast between Ryde and Seaview. In complete contrast to its history as a mortar battery, a children's playground now sits within it.

Great seafront Cafe with Restaurant level food. Enjoy the views over Ryde Sands and the Solent towards the mainland.
