There are a number of independent food retailers in the town and across the Island and we encourage our guests to use them as much as possible. There are three convenience stores within minutes of the house that are open until late. The Co-op tends to have a wider range of stock than the Tesco Express. Between the two on the one way system you'll find an excellent butcher plus fruit and veg shop.
isleofwight.co.uk is an excellent website and lists independent shops and local producers.
There are restaurants and bars catering for everyone in the town and again, we encourage our visitors to use them. Bars on the Esplanade will provide you with plastic glasses for use on the beach.
All the main supermarkets have delivery services across the Island should you need them.
