The Garlic Farm Shop And Restaurant - Sandown

🌟The Garlic Farm – Sandown, Isle of Wight🌟

A lovely stop! The shop is nicely kept – clean, well presented, and everything is laid out in a way that’s really appealing. There’s a great range of garlic-themed goodies, perfect for gifts or personal treats.

I also bought a bottle of Cold Garlic Beer to try – an interesting one! To me, it tasted a bit like a watery Guinness. Not really to my taste, but I can see how some people might enjoy it for the novelty.

Plenty of free parking made the visit easy and stress-free. Definitely worth a stop if you’re nearby!

I read all the reviews before visiting and it was a pleasure! The restaurant was fantastic! We pre booked and had the nicest garlicky lunch! Too bad for people who don't like garlic! The shop was lovely with so many garlic products. We bought different varieties of garlic and vampire slayer sauce which is v hot and garlicky. The farm walk wasn't good enough, it would be better to take a guided tour as v could not appreciate much walking by ourselves. We did not see any crops as well. But restaurant and shop is a fantastic visit if you are in the area. Wonderful experience! We ordered Garlic beer which can be avoided, it wasn't v garlicky but not tasty either. The ice cream everyone was raving about in the reviewes was okay not v garlicky either, it's more chocolaty. The Garlic scone was superb and the main course was all excellent!

Definitely worth visiting this farm that you could easily spend your whole afternoon there. The place is well kept and all the staff were really friendly. Highly recommended!! The farm shop is really nice (in both look and smell) and the products looked really good in quality. We definitely loaded ourselves with lots of garlics 🤣🤣
The restaurant is packed during lunch. Unfortunately we didn't make a booking so we ended up just having some scones, cheese board and ice cream after lunch time. The lunch menu looks really nice though!
Oh yes, the staff at the restaurant also treat our pet tortoise Mochi a proper served free strawberry =)
We will definitely revisit again in the future!!

I love the Garlic Farm. Nice walk around the area. Spend loads of money on garlic related bits. Have all the free samples you can eat. I mean try little bits of each.
Took a massive amount of the vampire hot sauce. Way hotter than I expected. So that was fun.

Wonderful! Gorgeous setting, fabulous food, and so much delicious garlic. We stayed at the Garlic Farm for a short escape to the island in September. The cottage was perfect. Lovingly decorated and perfect for a family of 4.
A big highlight of the weekend was the Farm Tour. Our tour guide (and one of the farm owners) Colin is incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. He clearly deeply cares for the farm and for the farm guests. Colin took so much time and patiently answered all our questions.
What the family have built on the Garlic Farm is extraordinary! We will definitely be back.

A highly recommended place to go for the nature enthusiasts. The farm is huge and presents a detailed history of garlic. Their shop is very nice and have huge collection of garlic based products. Overall, it was a nice place to visit.

Came here after finding this place on Google and oh my it didn't disappoint. There is soo much to do here with the family and has a wide variety of products that are just soo tasty. We also went for breakfast here and it was lovely, wonderfully presented and came rather fast after we ordered, and was served with their own 2 kinds of ketchup (the black garlic ketchup was amazing but the garlic ketchup was too vinegary in my opinion) it was a good breakfast however my criticism of this is that it would be better with chargrilled bacon rather than having hot held bacon (could definitely tell it was hot held bacon as it was starting to turn a bit leathery) also maybe having the addition of a hash brown or black/white pudding. The servers were lovely and helpful people and the coffees that we got were amazing quality. If your in the IOW then definitely take a detour here as it will be worth your time.

Exceptionally welcomed by the Collins family, accompanied by his captivating stories, we not only had a fantastic time but also enjoyed Michelin-standard meals (as an ex-Michelin* chef myself I recognise freshness), so fresh and garlicky. We highly recommend their shop, restaurants, Airbnb, and Yurth tent, as well as their garlic beer, which is a must-try!!
