This fish and chip shop at the end of the road is so handy when the fridge is empty or after a long day sightseeing. The curry sauce is seriously good! Check the opening hours as it's not open super late

This is a great country pub, close to the beaches of Brighstone, Brooke and Compton with great views and a lovely beer garden. Book a table in advance.

I totally fell in love with this place - great for dog walking and a coffee from Drew's brews who's there Wed - Sunday. Hang out by the estuary do a spot of bird watching.
