The Plantation Room Café

Situated high above the Palm Garden, The Plantation Room Café allows you to sit back, relax and fully immerse yourself in the sounds, smells and views of the gardens. You’ll be visited by our resident robins, and you’ll hear the sea crashing into the cliffs in the distance.

The Plantation Room Café is open daily from 9am till 4pm. We offer a range of lunch options with our daily specials. Each morning, we also offer our breakfast menu that’s served until 11 am each day.

Our terrace area offers a sheltered overview of the Palm Gardens and beyond. With access directly from the main entrance, via the café itself.

The Plantation Room café provides a cosy retreat for visitors who want to relax, read or are looking for a Barista coffee, an elegant loose-leaf tea, a glass of fine wine or a light ultra-fresh lunch and catch up with friends.

The unique colonial architecture of the covered porch and the delicate windows of the best remaining building from the old Hospital are brought out throughout The Plantation Room.

Our Products

We grow or source as many of our ingredients locally on the Isle of Wight. We are currently growing four salads; red amaranth, mizuna, radish leaf and mustard frills. They provide the flavour accents that wake up our summer salads.

We also grow borlotti beans, courgettes, marrows and purple kohlrabi. You may encounter delicious fresh pesto mayonnaise whipped up with our own basil. If you walk along the coastal path, you’ll catch a glimpse of hop rows swaying in the sea breeze. They’re the very hops we use to brew varieties of our botanic ales and lagers, all on our menus.
