Heron Smoke House To Open At Robin Hill This Saturday

The Robin Hill Adventure Park and Heron Food IOW have announced that the Heron Smoke House will open to the public this Saturday (May 24).

Alex Kimber, Chef and Restauranter of Heron Food IOW has been on the Isle of Wight for the last five years building The Heron restaurant in Ryde, and more recently, The Braii at Nunwell Farm.

The Smoke House at Robin Hill is a seated restaurant catering for 120 diners with an open plan bar and inside/outside dining options.

Located at the very top of the park, guests will enjoy panoramic views sweeping down across the valley and up to Brading Downs.

Focusing on farm to fork ethical dining, the restaurant is smokehouse style with grill menus using a collaboration of suppliers from Nunwell Farm and the wider farming community on the Isle of Wight.

The new Robin Hill, owned by local businessman Lee Priddle and John Smith, opened at the beginning of April with over 15 new attractions for the 2025 season including real mini diggers, crazy golf, an electric boat safari and an indoor ice rink.

CEO, Lee Priddle, said:

“We couldn’t be more excited that Alex has joined us at Robin Hill, he’s an incredible chef and the Heron IOW brand endorses our ambition to provide a premium offering to our visitors and support local suppliers.”

Alex Kimber, said:

“Robin Hill is an awesome location, and we are super excited to be working with these guys.

"The Heron at Robin Hill further cements what we aim to achieve on the Island, to deliver an outstanding dining experience for guests using the finest locally sourced ingredients.”

The Heron Smoke House at Robin Hill will open to the public in addition to park visitors.

Members of the public should enter the park through the main Robin Hill gates and follow the signs for the Heron car park. You can also book a table online at https://www.heroniow.co.uk/book
