🍴 3-Day Taste the Wight: London to Isle of Wight Gourmet Escape

From city buzz to sea views — with flavours to match.
Jump on board with The Road Trip Co for a one-of-a-kind foodie break that takes you straight from London to the Isle of Wight in style. Think artisan gin, garlic-inspired feasting, a seven-course chef’s menu, and waking up to ocean views from your balcony.

This is the Isle of Wight, served up on a plate.

Day 1 – From City Streets to Sea Breezes
  • London pickup in our comfy Road Trip Co minibus – no trains, no ferries to organise, just sit back and let the adventure roll.

  • Scenic drive down to the coast and hop across the Solent.

  • Check into your balcony sea-view room at The Wellington Hotel, perched on Ventnor’s cliffs.

  • Evening free to wander the seafront, watch the sunset, or sip a glass of wine overlooking the bay.

Day 2 – Island Flavours, Island Stories
  • Breakfast with a view at The Wellington.

  • Late morning: Exclusive behind-the-scenes tour at Mermaid Gin Distillery – learn the craft, sip the botanicals, and discover why it’s an island icon.

  • Lunch at The Garlic Farm – rustic, fresh, and everything garlic (yes, even ice cream if you’re brave).

  • Afternoon free: stretch your legs on a coastal path, browse farm shops, or simply laze by the sea.

  • Evening spotlight: a Seven-Course Tasting Menu at The True Food Kitchen, where Isle of Wight produce is transformed into a culinary journey.

Day 3 – Slow Mornings & Smooth Travels
  • Wake up to the sound of the sea and enjoy a lazy balcony breakfast.

  • Take a final stroll through Ventnor or pick up a foodie souvenir (garlic chutney? local gin?).

  • Early afternoon: board the minibus and cruise back to London — full bellies, fresh air in your lungs, and foodie stories to share.

Location

Waterloo Station
Waterloo Road, London, SE1 8SW United Kingdom

Instructions to find the pick-up point:

  1. 1. Exit the station: Walk towards the main concourse or the exit for Station Approach Road. 
  2. 2. Turn for Cab Road:
    • If you are coming from low-numbered platforms (1-11), you will need to turn left as you exit. 
    • If you are coming from high-numbered platforms, turn right. 
  3. 3. Look for landmarks: You will find the one-way "Cab Road" which is the main road alongside the station. A Costa Coffee and Boots are roughly opposite each other on the concourse, and your pickup should be near this area on Cab Road. 
  4. 4. Wait for your ride: The pickup point is designed for drivers to safely stop, so your ride should be waiting for you there.
