Alert! 📢

We’re absolutely delighted to welcome the Shoreside Cafe on the East Cowes Esplanade ⛵️☀️ as one of our newest Biltong & Bangers stockists, meaning you can now pick up a bag of our finest biltong 🇿🇦🥩 while simultaneously enjoying one of the nicest sea-gazing spots on the Isle of Wight! 🌊

On our first visit, we picked up the most delicious toasted tuna and cheese sandwiches we’ve ever had, and honestly, we still dream about them! (No, we don’t JUST eat biltong!) 😉

Getting to know Iso (pictured, right) has also been a real pleasure. 🧡 In her own words:

“I moved here from South Africa 🇿🇦 22 years ago but grew up in Namibia 🇳🇦. We spend our Christmases in Ballito, KZN. It’s my third year at Shoreside East Cowes and I see it as my happy place. I have a fantastic team, without whom I would be lost. I still feel so incredibly privileged to be able to live in England, but especially on the Isle of Wight.” 🙏

Standing proudly alongside Iso is Charlene, part of the team that helps make the Shoreside Cafe such a welcoming place.

Do be sure to add them to your list! Whether you’re stopping by for a coffee, grabbing lunch with a sea view, or out for relaxing gin & tonic - you’re guaranteed a warm welcome.

Cheers, ladies! 🙌

Yup, those sunny days now seem like lifetimes ago. We won't be opening today, folks, but are looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow and over the weekend! ☀️🗓️

Good morning, Shoresiders.
We have decided to dedicate today to the ducks following a less than successful attempt yesterday. See you all again tomorrow! 🦆

For those previously unacquainted, we do indeed operate a whippy delivery system. Regrettably, Jacob, our most enthusiastic ice cream connoisseur, cannot be held accountable for any instances where a whippy delivery arrives compromised.
