The popular food and travel show Best of Britain By The Sea will feature businesses from all over the Isle of Wight in an hour-long show on Monday (13th June) at 21:00.
Filmed in February, the programme features some Isle of Wight favourites and is presented by food writer and presenter Grace Dent and the UK’s favourite TV chef Ainsley Harriott.
Island businesses The Needles Sweet Manufactory, Grace’s Bakery, The Royal and the Smoking Lobster at Ventnor, Wightwood Pizza, The Garlic Farm and Wight Coast Fossils made the final cut of the show, which will be seen on More4 on 13th June and Channel 4 on 26th June.
Dan Chamber, co-founder and Creative Director at Blink Films said:
“Filming on the Isle of Wight was such a delight. So many special places of interest, gorgeous accommodation, and first-class food.
“The only problem we had as producers were how to reduce it to just an hour. It could have been a six-part series!”.
Ainsley Harriott said:
“Great light, great food, great air – fresh air, I’ve never slept so well. You should come to the Isle of Wight, you could have the same experience”.

Will Myles, Managing Director at Visit Isle of Wight said:
“We were very pleased to welcome Grace, Ainsley and the production team to the Island and am very glad at their reaction to the qualities the Island has to offer.
“Visit Isle of Wight is proud to celebrate the Island’s food producers, makers and chefs that make the most of the fresh food from the land and waters around the Isle of Wight, adding to the lists of reasons that make it such an incredible place to visit – it is just a shame that they couldn’t fit anymore in to the hour long episode”.

UK’s ‘favourite cook’ indeed.Loathsome egomaniacs in the main.The late great Keith Floyd was the only chef worthy of tuning into with Delia a close second imho, for a more sober (lol) approach to epicurian matters.
Only 4 on the door. Whoops
Lidl bakery beats Graces any day.
Ainsley is a great Character and brilliant chef,why all the negative comments?
We love the Isle of Wight, will definitely watch the program and we’ll be there in July.
What a top bloke you are.
