Isle of Wight Pearl Appoints New Award-Winning Head Chef

Isle of Wight Pearl is delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Wyatt as its new Head
Chef at the iconic, and recently revamped, Pearl Café. Mark’s arrival marks a clear new
direction for the café, championing fine-dining quality food designed to be enjoyed every day,
overlooking what are widely regarded as some of the island’s best sea views.

Alongside a completely refreshed menu, the Pearl Café now offers a range of weekday food
promotions, making quality, chef-led dishes accessible to everyone. Island food lovers can
enjoy two of Mark’s new main meals for just £20 on Mondays, a half-price brunch on Thursday,
a free glass of wine on Wednesdays, and kids eat for £1 every Tuesday.

A highly respected and classically trained chef, Mark brings a wealth of culinary experience,
having spent five years leading kitchens with two AA Rosettes and a Michelin Bib Gourmand. He
began his career in North Yorkshire before spending three years at The Savoy Hotel in London,
where he refined his classical techniques and developed a passion for high-quality, ingredientled
cooking.

New dishes introduced by Mark and the team include a gourmet hash brown, freshly made crab
cakes, beef with Guinness and dumplings, and beer-battered fish and chips with homemade
tartare and charred lemon. To name a few!

Looking ahead, the Pearl Café plans to expand its food offering with seasonal specials,
redeveloped afternoon teas, and a brand-new events space. Together, these developments will
position the café as a social hub where food, friends, and island life come together.

Mark said:
“Food has a way of bringing people together. Whether it’s a casual brunch, a celebration, or a
special event, I want the Pearl Café to be a place where people come to make memories as well
as enjoy great food.”

With an award-winning chef at the helm, a refreshed menu, and some of the island’s best
views, there has never been a better time to revisit and rediscover the Pearl Café.
