Welcome to my guidebook to the house and Cowes
Places to eat
This is a list of different places we love in Cowes. Most places really do need booking in advance. They range from basic pizza places, sailing clubs, fun vibe dining and pubs to slightly more formal. Suggest you check out their websites for yourself though!
Great vibe, food and service. One of the best places to eat in Cowes but you'll probably need to book because its very popular.

We love Mojacs. It's quite small but as its privately owned they really do look after you well and the food is great. Never had a bad meal here and in "lockdown" they did home deliveries and takeaways. One of my favourites.

Great outdoor space for lunch and evening drinks. Slightly more formal/expensive than the rest of Cowes but as with all place Cowes they don't expect jacket and tie, it's just a bit more special. We love it for drinks and/or dining.

Great for pizza takeaway (they sometimes do food to "eat in" - in conjunction with the Island Sailing Club opposite but this will depend on their seasonal agreement). In my opinion (and I don't usually like pizza) this is the best pizza ever and doughnuts too. Just off the parade.

Michelin star Chef Robert Thompson, this one is definitely worth a trip for a special evening (short 10min trip from Cowes by bus or taxis). Excellent and a bit different. We love it.

Ryde Beach
EsplanadeGreat long beach especially at low tide.
So you must do this. I can't understand why the The Royal Family don't use this amazing historical Palace but because they don't we get to. Truly fab place and gardens.

Great walk from Cowes and back along the esplanade with views looking over to the main land towards the New Forest. Stunning walk and you can watch the boats as they sail by.
