This thatched cottage in Shanklin's Old Village serves exceptional homemade food in a charming, quintessentially English setting. The menu features well-filled sandwiches and baguettes, but Vernon Cottage is particularly celebrated for its cream teas, the Island-shaped scones are legendary, paired with fresh cream and jam, alongside Victorian sponge and other homemade cakes.
