The Birdham
About
The Birdham, on Isle of Wight, stands at 1 Steyne Rd, Bembridge PO35 5UH, on the island's eastern tip. First-time visitors should expect a busy dining room rather than a quiet back-street spot. A 4.4/5 rating from 663 reviews makes it one of the more heavily reviewed addresses on the island.
Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater and Yarmouth are the main towns, and Bembridge sits within easy reach of Ryde and Sandown by road. The restaurant's own site at http://www.thebirdhambembridge.co.uk/ covers bookings and menus. British islands are reached by car ferries, passenger ferries and, in some cases, scheduled flights, so arriving for a table takes some planning.
Seafood is central to island food, with crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats, and the coastal setting suits that. Rain falls throughout the year on British islands, and Atlantic gales are common in autumn and winter, which can affect ferry crossings.
With 663 reviews behind it, the 4.4/5 score reflects a long-running operation rather than a new opening. The Bembridge setting places the restaurant on the island's eastern edge, away from the busier resort towns. Diners travelling from Ryde or Sandown can reach the village by road, and the surrounding coastline gives the area its own character.
