We were served really quickly and the portions were very generous. The staff were friendly and helpful and Elaine cleared our plates super quick. Still a bargain to eat here.

Wonderful staff, amazing views, as much breakfast you can eat, and tea to drink. Everything clean, food hot. Chef promptly restocked the breakfast dishes for my unbooked party of 9 this morning. Great way to start our couple of days on the Island.

A wonderful buffet breakfast. Very nice and well cooked food, great selection and loved the tea and coffee refill station. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Would have liked to see some gluten free sausages but other than that it was lovely. Elaine who took our plates was very polite and friendly.Dietary restrictions: Some gluten free sausages would be nice.

I visited Sloop inn on IOW (aka slop inn) - as a fan generally of stonegate pubs however the roast here was tasteless and everything tasted the same - potatoes hard - veg boiled to death - beef full of fat - turkey seen better days - pigs in blankets uncooked! it was a 60th birthday and we booked a table of 18 and spent a lot of money and this was such a let down- I can?t believe stonegate are happy with this establishment plus the lady chef had no customer service skills and was rude to many of our party when certain items of the meal were missing at the buffet- must say however bar staff were very good if a little slow removing plates - sorry but this is not good enough - avoid all costs

Called in for dinner but car parking was so confusing, after trying to work it out we just drove off as did two other parties arriving at same time. One area of the car park is designated "Patrons Parking" and the other is "Guests Parking". There is nowhere designated "Customer Parking". Am I a patron or a guest? No idea and there were no staff to ask. There is a penalty of £85 for getting it wrong so I left and enjoyed a good meal at an alternative establishment. I will not be returning anytime soon.

Tried to grab a breakfast. Spoke to staff. Advised that they were flooded. Tried later to book for Sunday roast. After getting soaked and walking through filthy water. No spaces.

We visited in both 2022 and returned in 2023 when we came back to Isle of Wight in hope it would be better - it wasn?t! In 2022 we tried the carvery, but was served a load of fat instead of meat - and some dark slimy stuff that not really sure what of the turkey this was from! I?m 2023, returned to see if changed and still seems a lot of what is served on the plates is fat. It is not a nice carvery experience at all. It was also disappointing that the place ran of turkey and gammon, leaving a rather nome existent carvery that they tried to substitute with some chicken breast pieces. Ordered the Above and Beyond burger - but was given the beyond burger instead a cheaper version of what I ordered, and which took far too long to be served in an almost empty restaurant. Puddings were really nice, and the staff were really lovely. There was a table behind us that had booked a carvery in May for a birthday party, and yet couldn?t have carvery or had a very limited carvery due to very little meat being available. Really poor experience from what could be a really lovely pub in a really lovely place. Unfortunately, don?t recommend and probably won?t return after giving this place a few chances.

We are on holiday here and fancied a roast so the 8 of us, including 3 children, went here on Monday 11th September 2023 for a carvery. I have to say it's the worst carvery I have ever had. The chef carving the meat was so miserable. I asked for turkey and beef. All that was left on the turkey was the carcus so he was pulling little bits off and put on my plate so I said I'd rather wait for a fresh one. I then went to the vegetables where the beans were dried out and shrivelled at the edges, the stuffing was so dry it was like a rock and couldn't be eaten, the mash was full of lumps, the peas were like bullets and the carrots almost raw. The best bit was the roast potatoes and even they weren't ideal. I then went to put gravy on which was so thick and lumpy you couldn't pour it. We complained and was told the veg was replenished constantly. Well we saw no one else having carvery so that's why the veg was so dry and inedible it was getting eaten and who could blame anyone. We got a refund and left. My advice would be to stay clear of this place. If I could give a zero score I would it's not worth even a 1!!!

We were looking forward to the evening carvery but it turned out to be very unsatisfactory. There was shortage of meat and most of the veg could only have been frozen not fresh. The women in the party had gone up first to no gravy and was told to wait 20 minutes with their plates full of food. By the time we had queued about 15 minutes the kitchen had run out of beef and it seems there were just scraps of pork and gammon left. The carver had to keep running to the kitchen for gravy, stuffing and other veg. Unfortunately we could not wait for remaining scraps and left the queue. We then saw the assistant manager who issued us with a refund. We are sorry but can not hand on heart recommend The Sloop as a place to eat. The staff were good but the food, service and hygiene was really bad. We will not be going back.
