Tapas nights at Dell
The Dell Cafe, ideally located
on the beach front in Puckpool
Park, invites customers to
tapas nights every Friday and
Saturday from 6.30pm, which
will be extended to Thursdays
as well during July and August.
The tapas has innovative
flavours, not necessarily
Spanish, and local produce is
used wherever possible. The
Dell Cafe is licensed and stocks
a fine variety of wines, supplied
by Island Wines, and frozen
cocktails as well as beers are also
available.
The Dell Cafe has idyllic views
over Puckpool Sands, Ryde
Pier and the Solent as far as

Portsmouth, and is accessed by
walking along the seawall either
from Seaview or Ryde. Even if
the weather is not as it should
be, the Dell can ensure a warm
welcome with customers able
to sit behind large panoramic
windows and watch the sun go
down as they enjoy their food.
The Dell is open every day
from 9pm for a selection of
breakfasts; followed by lunch,
with their tasty selection
of cakes available in the
afternoons. The normal closing
time is at 5.30pm, but then the
Dell re-opens for tapas nights.

Time to relax at The Reef
There are few better
places to enjoy a
relaxed drink and tasty
food, all with superb
sea views, than The Reef
on Sandown Esplanade.
The Reef is a bar and
restaurant, also with
accommodation, and
is just over the road
from Sandown beach.
It opens from 11am to
11pm daily, with food
served from midday
until 9pm. The food
is homemade, using
the freshest local ingredients wherever possible and catering for
all tastes with such delights as fresh fish, pastas, salads, steaks and
stone baked pizzas. Well behaved children are welcome throughout
the day, with even a healthy-option menu for them to enjoy, and
dogs are allowed on the outside decking area.
