On our regular fortnightly Acoustic Nights Greg Barnes brings together some of the best acoustic artists in the south for an informal evening session.
This session features Leon C, a contemporary folk singer songwriter from the safest suburb in Hampshire. Leon C writes his own original style of 60s Folk Revival inspired contemporary folk music. His debut album Please, marks the beginning of a transition into adult life. The songs are what Leon has lived and felt and seen and thought. Expect realisations in strummed Epics and thoughts in Intimate fingerpicked ballads. Leon’s poeticism and 10 years of guitar experience has given the 17 year old comparisons to Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon. Well worth seeing before he makes the big time!
Admission is free and there will be an open mic session towards the end of the evening.

came out for a meal the food was fabulous homemade burgers and isle of wight beef the staff were very polite and friendly would recommend if u haven't been then give them a try u wont be disappointed thankyou for a excellent meal

Went to winter Gardens to pick up tickets for The Dick Taylor night ,12th Des. While there had a meal . Having cleared and opened up the bar floor is great.. Food excellent, sun came through the big glass front. The service was on the button . Did not realise the parking to the rear , which has put me off in the past. Hope more people realise what a great venue it is and that it is availiable for other than music , Hope to meet up with some old friends. Not been to Ventnor in a while dew to having both hips replaced. looking forward to Friday. Geoff Hughes.

Went there for Mothers Day and had a delicious meal. The poor staff were rushing around and still smiling. Lovely atmosphere, the food and service was Excellent. Looking forward to going there again. Highly recommended x

We recently had lunch at Ventnor Winter Gardens and were delighted at the service and the quality of the food. My husband and I both follow a grain free diet and the staff catered for us very well. My husband enjoyed the Ventnor Bay crab salad and I had chicken skewers with beautifully cooked baby white beetroot. Add the lovely view over the sea and you have a very enjoyable dining experience. We will definitely be going back!

We held an 18 th birthday party in the Balcony Bar at Winter Gardens, excellant service from start to finish.

Manager Teri couldnt do enough to help and guide us through what we would need !

Staff very friendly and helpful on the night, very good value and excellant venue for our party.

We will definately return and also recommend to others looking for a professionally run event site !

Thankyou all very much ,

Mandy and Lara Davis �

We filmed here in May for our teaser of T.I.M (This Is Me) lovely people greate service. #filmthisisme

Their weak bitter shandy are amazing and the atmosphere in there is fantastic definitely recommend for weddings and any events

Superb sunday lunch, tasted just like home.

Will definately be returning :)

So pleased we managed to catch the final performance of Cats. What a stunning show; beautifully choreographed with an immensely talented cast and a huge amount of energy. It was very hot in the theatre, and the performers must have been melting in their Lycra and fake fur, but their enthusiasm didn't flag for a second. Highlights for me were the dance routine to 'McCavity's Not There', the two girls were incredibly agile and beautifully coordinated. Paul Stevens' moving portrayal of Gus the old theatre cat ensured there wasn't a dry eye in the house, although there was a brief moment of levity when, during a momentary silence on stage, a child in the audience called out 'miaow'. The crowd laughed, and Paul looked out into the auditorium with the merest flick of an eyebrow and a well-timed dramatic pause, then carried on like the old trouper he is!

I was stunned by (and very envious of)Amanda Barnley's amazing voice. Her rendition of 'Memories' had me searching for a tissue and I suspect I wasn't the only one.

Really enjoyed John Abraham's portrayal of Rumpus Cat, and we were VERY impressed with his cartwheel and forward roll. Not bad for an old...I mean, a man in his middle youth�



An exceptional production; the cast well deserved the standing ovation they received at the finale.

Just finished having a fantastic Xmas meal here with friends! Food was excellent,lots of flavour and great portions,stuffed! Beautiful evening and very well looked after! Top marks to all,really enjoyed it,best I’ve had in a while! Thank you!

Incredible food . Amazing value. All staff were very friendly and accommodating. And price was cheaper than I would have thought. Not to mention the amazing views. Would recommend to anyone!

Had lunch here today with family. Very nice food reasonably priced and beautiful views

Had afternoon tea and cocktails here today with my husband , what a treat .. The food was absolutely delicious and the cocktails fab . Will definitely be visiting again . Cannot recommend this place enough

Great service. We especially love the kids parties such as the Valentine's Ball and Halloween parties!

Such hard work put in to them!

Great entertainment watching your securities eyes light up simultaneously. As the synapses in their brain sparked up to fuel the left over brain cells (maybe three, four at most) they checked their body language. Comparing primitive poses. Aggressive stances at the ready. This is critical for working out solutions, or pushing out trapped wind. Real pressing problems they’d be approached with that night like- what to do if their stamp runs out of ink and how to count to 10. The lack of intelligence made my night. THANK YOU WINTER GARBAGE!

Attended as a seller at Tanya's Networking charity awareness for Clapa event,

and will be back for the Decades of Decibels on the 27th May. We enjoyed super service with tasty food and hot drinks, looking forward to bar service next time. So pleased to see this lovely venue on the seafront being used again for community and music events.

Absolutely fabulous afternoon seeing Celtic Connections! Last Orders were great, The Crew really got everyone going and Wight Hot Pipes was the icing on the cake. It would be great to see this again , an evening gig would attract more people.

We stayed at Ventnor in 1963 for our honeymoon when it was a seaside town with a pier and a working railway. It was a little sad to find a few fishing boats and a town with shops closing and some in poor fettle. We would loved to have come back with our past happy memories and found it still thriving.

Sunday Roast Dinner was good and I was excited about a dessert that was included, however, they didn’t have my first or second choice and I was forced to have ice cream, not asked what flavour and when that came I didn’t like it, so didn’t actually get any dessert. It was very full, granted it was a Sunday lunchtime but there were not enough staff and a lot of people complaining, it seems to me that there needs to be a different system put in place when there is a matinee on, people were ordering drinks and food from the same bar, and the queue was very long, some people were panicking about orders they may not get that they had already paid for before the show started.

Very chaotic, needs a re-think.
