This little gem is not just a sandwich shop; it’s a haven for food lovers who appreciate fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service. Whether you’re after a quick take-away lunch or a cozy spot to enjoy your meal, The Taste has something to offer everyone.

Imagine sinking your teeth into a perfectly crafted sandwich, made with artisanal bread that is both crusty on the outside and soft within. The menu boasts a wonderful range of sandwich fillings—think succulent roast beef paired with zesty horseradish, or a hearty egg mayo that promises to make each bite a delightful experience. Customers rave about the freshness of the ingredients, with many noting how deliciously satisfying their meals are—like David Sloan who described it as a “great little place” with a consistent rotation of “hot dishes of the day.”

The Taste caters not only to the lunchtime crowd but also draws breakfast enthusiasts looking for a welcoming atmosphere. Denise Marsden shared a heartwarming experience of her first meal after arriving on the island, praising the warm and prompt service that made her feel right at home. Guests can enjoy their meals in a comfortable upstairs dining area, though some have noted it can feel a bit cramped, so it’s best to visit during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience.

Excellent service, great selection of sandwich fillings, generous portions of really tasty food. The upstairs dining area is not so inviting and quite cramped with a large telly showing the news channel.

Great little place for a take away lunch, with a few tables outside. Plenty of bread choices and a large variety of sandwich fillings. Different hot dish of the day on offer (chicken pasta). All very fresh. Service friendly and food was delicious.

Was looking for somewhere to have breakfast after arriving on the island this morning 24th May and after sitting in another establishment and being ignored by the staff my friends and I came across The Taste. On entering we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, our order was taken promptly and we were guided upstairs to a comfortable dining area. When our breakfasts arrived they were piping hot and brilliant value and you get a proper mug of coffee. Would definitely recommend. The cafe bar attached to a local hotel we tried to eat at should visit this establishment to see how to treat customers.

Need a sandwich? Go here. Great bread, great fillings. I had roast beef, onion and horseradish. Great beef, not cheap silverside, plenty of it and lashings of onion and horseradish. Also had a breadbusting egg mayo, superb.
