Nataly Frolova My husband booked dinner to celebrate my birthday, and he chose the set menu. I honestly cannot praise the food enough — it was a true work of art. Every dish was beautifully presented, incredibly delicious, and thoughtfully sourced. Each course was carefully explained to us, and it was fascinating to hear how much preparation goes into creating every sauce. It’s clear that the chef genuinely cares about the food and the restaurant, not just about making money. The flavours were unbelievable — a perfect balance of creativity and skill, turning every bite into an experience. Everyone who served us that evening was warm, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole evening even more special. The restaurant itself is lovely, and the food is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. P.S. I even received a complimentary extra dessert with a birthday song and candle — such a thoughtful touch! I’m definitely coming back.

Pieter Eksteen Classic country pub with outstanding gastro-pub food. Really enjoyable experience for lunch - the three of us each had a different dish, and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. Helpful, friendly staff and an easy reservation made the Gamekeepers a must visit again.

Rhonda Williams We went for New years Eve and it was a great decision. The set menu was filled with enticing choices. We started with a gin based aperitif which was included. Very nice. Then there was an amazing amuse bouche, followed by a delightful selection of starters. I had an outstanding lamb dish. A mid course beetroot cake with house made fruit ketchup was a perfectset up for our main courses. I hade grilled Tiger Shrimp which was out of this world. There was naan, raita and dhal for the table. Finally I finished with a chocolate ganache accompanied by a lime basil sorbet that I will try to reproduce at home. The service was never rushed, and was impeccable. There was also a small jazz band with a great singer playing all evening. We ended with a glass of sparkling wine each before heading home after midnight. A thoroughly enjoyable evening! It was pricy when wine and beer and a tip were added.

Deniz Choudhury Looks very nice inside, very calm atmosphere, was not busy when we went, lots of seating. Food was nice, will definitely go again to try other dishes.

Laura Howarth Fabulous meal here this evening! Lovely little restaurant in the High Street in Ventnor, with great service, great service and wonderful food! I had the caprese salad to start, beautifully presented and tasted superb - I told chef I could never have caprese again because it would never be as good as that was. Crab linguine to follow, in a garlic, tomato and chilli sauce. The sauce was full of flavour, perfectly seasoned and a very subtle note of chilli. Everything is cooked to order, so it takes a little time but the wait is totally worth it. Im just sad we dont live in Ventnor so wont be able to visit here again. If youre in the area and love great cooking with fresh ingredients then put this on your to do list.

The London Guy Great sushi place, I always think the test of a good sushi place is the rice and the rice is good here. Nice texture, moist, and full of flavour. The Katsu curry is nice as well. Service is excellent, especially Harishwar, always very attentive and friendly.
