The Canteen

Lovely, lovely food, most items can be offered with GF options which is great for Mrs B, coffee great too, friendly service. Very popular so you might have to queue but worth the wait. Take Covid compliance seriously which is important. Dog friendly too all in a very historic location

Great breakfast and good service. Cup of tea with tealeaves....Nice touch!

Lovely breakfast and service, foods are amazingly good. Highly recommended

I went there on a Sunday morning 10am, there was a queue about 6 tables in front of me. Thankfully didn't have to wait to long and i got my table after 20mins. I wasn't able to grab the seat outside or the one near the big window looking out to the oceon. I like interior design and how they use the retro type bulb. Typical breakfast brunch menu, i ordered an egg Royal and a latte. Reasonable price. Food came very quick. Everything was good classic but nothing to be overtly excited about 😅

Waited over 40 mintues for this waffle. Actually doesn't look waffle. Look at that warm chocolate. They just paste little bit chocolate on the side also waffle wasn't good. Their menu is basic. I mean not to many options so they should be quick there is no point to wait over 40 minutes for waffle. Never visit there again.

A lovely breakfast out in the sunshine! We say out in the sunshine out in front of The Canteen - no queue or wait for a table at 10am on a Tuesday. We had the breakfast stack (delicious and cooked perfectly) and the waffle (hands down the best waffle I've ever had). We also had a bacon buttie - I didn't try this but am told it was great! The staff were lovely and the food was great!

Came here this morning with my family. Delicious breakfast - I had the classic waffles while my wife had the Eggs Royale. Everything was superb. The cafe itself is in a unique spot with great views of the Solent. Will definitely come back!

Bangin little place to try....food and drink is epic and there service is pretty good to plus it's on the rite side of not being to expensive.....plus a fantastic location.

We've been to The Canteen 4 or 5 times now, and every time you're guaranteed to have a fantastic experience. The food is always fantastic and flavoursome, the coffee is always spot on and the setting is fabulous.
Make sure you have the breakfast stack, it was utterly delicious!

The Canteen Classic Waffle with Nutella, fresh strawberries and banana was warm from the iron.
It was Belgian style and served on an a nice earthen style ceramic plate along with a piping hot Americano. The service was youthful yet good and the music unoffensive and low which really pleased me. Best part is the setting inside a stone fortress with tables looking directly over the pebble beach towards the Isle of Wight. The interior has been made to feel less cold than a year ago. Now I would even consider it cozy.
