Took advanrage of a local offer to have a late lunch here. Starters bacon and mushroom on salad and a huge bowel of old fashioned veg soup ( with pearl barley) and thick crusty bread. Very good steak and ale pie to follow. Mum struggled through tasty mushroom stroganoff and rice. We had no room to try the dessert menu!!... More

On a weekend break in Shanklin, checked Tripadvisor for any restaurant recommendations and decided to give Saffron's a try based on other reviews. We are so glad we did, the food was freshly prepared, piping hot and utterly delicious. After starters (home made soup and the best Welsh Rarebit ever tasted) and mains (delicious mushroom stroganoff and steak and ale... More

My husband and I hesitantly dine out due to me being a vegetarian and generaly offered a ltd and bland menu, whilst he being a carnivore has a far wider variety. Veggy food can be same old whilst eating out but not to my surprise in this Restaurant. Whilst hubby gloated over his mouthwatering steak I was amused at his... More

We came here for dinner while we were on a weekend break on the Island. Its very unassuming from the outside and is away from the pretty end of Shanklin Village. The service was friendly and the atmosphere pretty much depends on how full it is and what the other diners are like. However, the food was absolutely fantastic. Some... More

Our landlady at the Heatherleigh B&B recommended this restaurant, stating that they served pie and mash! Being in the company of scooter enthusiasts from London and elsewhere, we made a beeline for Saffrons. We were served all the pies that were available at the time, some people having double portions! We returned there on our last evening for more pie... More

We found Saffron's Larder and had a fantastic meal. The service was excellent and all of our family (ages 0 - 9) catered for brilliantly. The children were well entertained by games, colouring (as well as their food!). The food was delicious, all locally sourced and home cooked. The top it all off, the price was amazing, much cheaper than... More

It was quiet when we dined, which was ideal because as a couple we wanted some lone time without the kids and this venue was off the beaten track. Nice bottle of red and pasta for me and husband had some a meat dish with some lovely fresh bread, but the main point was that we were given a bit... More

Imagine landing in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight after travelling around Morocco for a few weeks and picking up a ghasly gastro bug which made you lose interest in food completely for a while. No worries, you might think, the food here isn't exactly renowned anyway, But I was forced to eat my words literally as I stumbled into... More

A friend and I booked in to Saffrons pre-theatre. Saffrons is a not so hidden gem that is worth checking out. We only had a light meal but the quality was superb. The menu is interesting and what we had was very tasty and very good value. The service was friendly and attentive and I'm looking forward to returning. it... More
