The Old Thatch Tearooms

Visited the tea rooms for lunch. Staff were very friendly and the tea for one was lovely. I had the egg mayonnaise sandwiches with scone and Victoria sponge. One friend had the pancakes which they also enjoyed. The sponge cake was as tasty as it looks.

This restaurant is simply delightful. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful experience. They serve tea in pots with high-quality tea, and their traditional, old-fashioned red shop food is top-notch. Overall, it was a lovely experience.

We popped in after a wet day out to find a very warm welcome we had some tea and the most amazing apple and cinnamon scones and jam and cream and the tea. My partner went out the back to the fairy garden and said it was amazing. Such a great place we'll worth the visit

Having seen reviews for this place, we were determined to visit whilst on holiday. It was busy but we were shown to a table in the pink room, which is cute cosy. My husband had the cream tea I had the savoury tea which was various cheese scones…it was delicious all served with a pot of tea. Definitely recommend

This café is absolutely charming with its quaint atmosphere and adorable teapots and china on display. The cakes and meals were delicious, and the service was excellent. The garden outside is filled with whimsical fairies, making it a delightful place to visit. There is so much to see and enjoy here, I would definitely recommend it.

A lovely afternoon tea in a beautiful spot. Staff couldn't have been more helpful as my partner was recovering from an operation, and the egg mayonnaise sandwiches outstanding. The thatch cottage itself is a charming place of great age with flagstone floor, and well maintained secluded garden with a fairy dell. Hope to visit again soon.

Popped in during our holiday on the island we were delighted that the quaint tea rooms lived up to our expectations exceeding them in fact. Lovely cream teas great fun for the kids with themed cake dishes. The picturesque setting featuring a hidden fairy garden was also a lovely bonus. Thoroughly recommended for both the quality friendly staff. Thank you!

What a lovely find this quaint tearoom on visit to Shanklin with my daughter. We sat in the garden which had nice umbrellas to provide shade on a hot day. We decided to have sandwiches followed by a cream scone. The sandwiches egg mayonnaise, and brie, grape and cranberry) came with salad and crisps and were delicious. The two fruit scones which we shared came with butter, clotted cream and jam and a pot of tea. The food was nicely presented and fresh. Food was reasonably priced. A lovely find and would recommend trying.

The restaurant has a cute concept but it is poorly executed. Everything is cheaply done, from the neon-colored foliage to the tacky plastic tables and chairs. The seating in the garden is crammed together, making it difficult to move around. The owner, a woman, seems unstable, and her male coworker appears terrified of her and the customers. Despite claiming to be dog-friendly, they did not allow a dog with health issues to sit on a lap. The owner charged extra for a different tea, showing a lack of understanding and hospitality. The service was nervous and the food was average.
