Fish tasting Friday

Go fish at the Seaview Hotel
If you are in search of crispy batter,
succulent fish and the perfect
mushy peas, then it’s about time
you tried the Seaview Hotel’s
fish and chips. “There’s nothing
as British as fish and chips, so I

wanted to make sure that we serve
fish and chips to be proud of. I use
island ale in the batter and all our
chips are homemade and the fish is
responsibly sourced,” said head chef
Bruce Theobald.

Share a platter at
the Ocean Deck
Summer is here, and the popular Ocean Deck
Seafood Sharing Platter offers fresh local whole
Ventnor Bay lobster and crab, courtesy of Ventnor
Haven Fishery, Greenland prawns, locally smoked
Scottish salmon and honey bread crumbed
Calamari.
The platter, available at the Ocean Deck on
Sandown Esplanade, is served with homemade
tartare sauce, seasonal salad, buttered new
potatoes & crusty bread.
The Island Wine Company recommends a bottle
of our Sauvignon Blanc 2013 – Reserva Nostros
Valle de Casablanca, which complements the
sharing platter beautifully. The Seafood Sharing
Platter is £45 for two, and enquire at the bar on
how to receive a 25 per cent discount on a bottle
of the Sauvignon Blanc. Telephone: 403960.

Starting Friday September 26 and running on
the last Friday of each month throughout the
winter Bruce will be creating a sea fresh four
course fish tasting supper priced at £45 per
head.
“I like to buy fish from the day boats wherever
possible and source fish sustainably. Since
coming to the Island I have been amazed by
the quality of the local fish, it has to be some of
the best in the world,” said Bruce, who hopes to
turn the Seaview Hotel into one of the best fish
restaurants on the Island.
The menu will be available with matching
wines for an additional £20 per person.
Booking is essential [phone]. During
the summer the Seaview Hotel serves food all
day, 12 - 9.30pm. For more information visit
