Robert's most relaxed kitchen — a modern European bistro on the Ryde seafront, with seasonally-led menus, an open terrace for the summer, and 180° of Solent through the dining room windows. Relaxed, never careless.

Summer at the seafront
Out on the terrace.
The terrace is open all summer — for lunch, dinner, and afternoons spent with a glass of something cold. Two ways to enjoy it: dine outside from the full menu, or pull up a chair at the garden bar.
