Bronte’s Cafe is the highest-rated sunday roast on Hayling Island on live Google data, with 4.9 stars from 88 reviews (checked 2026-09-28). Isla Bay Seafront Kitchen is next.
We pulled the live Google rating, review count and (for food businesses) food hygiene rating for every sunday roast on Hayling Island — covering West Beach, Beachlands, Mengham, North Hayling, Northney. We found 15 with enough of a track record to compare. Every figure below is correct as of 2026-09-28.
How we ranked them: highest Google star rating first, ties broken by review count. Sunday Roast Venues with fewer than 15 reviews are listed after the rest, because a handful of reviews isn't a fair comparison against a business with hundreds. Nobody paid to be on this list, and nobody can pay to move up it.
