If you're going to Bembridge, then THE place to eat is the Crab and Lobster. It's a pleasant walk. The Propellor looked rally tawdry last time I flew in to Bembridge (last Summer), as sadly did the whole of the aerodrome site, all closed up and down-at-heel. The runway, however, was in excellent condition. We PPR'd on the recorded message and left the landing fee in the honesty box. No radio, no-one in attendance at all, mid-week.
Sandown is a more attractive option in the Summer, with a lovely walk down to Shanklin via the chine, lunch near the beach and possibly a taxi back if you're not up to the considerable climb back.
