Isle of Wight supermarkets
You may want to support local food producers during your holiday but if not, then suffice to say, the Isle of Wight has the usual selection of supermarkets to pick from. Some areas of the Island are much better stocked than others.
Newport
|
Newport has the best choice of supermarkets and they are all pretty near the town centre - the big ones are Asda (PO30 2QH), Sainsburys (PO30 5ZB) and Morrisons (PO30 1JQ) which have ample parking and cafes.
There are also branches of Iceland (PO30 1JE), Cooperative (PO30 1XB), Marks and Spencer (PO30 1XL) and Lidl (PO30 5GL). Perhaps you could do a tour of them all in one day? |
A great way to spend time on holiday

Ryde
Ryde has a whopping Tesco (PO33 1QS), which is a little way out of the town centre. You might like to consider getting a Tesco delivery, particularly if you are staying somewhere rural. There's also a Tesco Express on the way to Ryde from Newport at Wootton Bridge (PO33 4PL)
There is an Iceland (PO33 2RE) in the High Street in Ryde, as well as a town centre Sainsbury's (PO33 2DT) and some small Cooperatives (PO33 2SX, PO33 1BU, PO33 2UH).

Cowes and East Cowes
The Island's Waitrose & Partners is in East Cowes
|
(West) Cowes has a Marks and Spencer Food Hall (PO31 7XH), a small Sainsburys (PO31 7AY) and the Isle of Wight's first Aldi (PO31 8PF) which opened in 2013 (I think we all remember the year that our local Aldi opened don't we?).
East Cowes has a fancy Waitrose and Partners (PO32 6SP). There's a chain ferry/floating bridge which links the two sides of the river. Cowes is only a short drive to Newport, where there is a bigger range of supermarkets. |
Sandown, Shanklin, Lake and Bembridge
|
The South East Wight's biggest supermarket is a Morrisons in Lake (PO36 9PA) although there's also a decent sized Aldi in Lake (PO36 9FT).
There's a small Sainsbury's in Sandown (PO36 8DE), a small Tesco (PO36 9EH) and a Cooperative Foods in Sandown (PO36 9AN) and Shanklin (PO37 7AA). There's a Lidl in Shanklin (PO37 7HZ). Bembridge has a small Cooperative (PO35 5SB). |
A bargain souvenir at just £1!

Ventnor and South Wight
Hmm, um...there's not a huge selection around the South Wight. The Cooperative in the town centre (PO38 1ST) is a reasonable size and there's a small Tesco in the town centre as well (PO38 1LT). I'm afraid that's about it, so if you are staying in the South Wight or West Wight then you might consider a delivery.
Freshwater, Yarmouth and West Wight
Again, not a great deal of choice. Freshwater has a good sized Cooperative (PO40 9UU) and there's a Sainsbury's Local (PO40 9AL).
One of our favourite little outings involves buying sandwiches at the Co-op in Freshwater followed by a short drive up the Military Road to the bumpy National Trust car park which overlooks Freshwater Bay. Good times.
