Our food and drink grown and produced locally on the Isle of Wight is done so under more hours of sunlight than most of the UK. Great for sunbathing, the extra sunshine also means richer soils for growing, lush grass for free range feeding, warmer seas for thriving sea life and a sweet and distinct Island flavour that will have you coming back for more. There is a choice of local produce on offer in many food and drink venues and from local farmers markets.
