A popular Isle of Wight high street restaurant has revealed plans for a "complete rebrand and overhaul".

Hungry Bear, in Brading, will soon be renamed, with owners Stuart Downes and Dayna O'Brien looking to "evolve" the eatery.

When it was first founded in 2017, the business operated as a 'pop up', serving food from the back of van.

Since then, it has grown into a well-established restaurant on the Island, famous for its roast dinners.

In 2020, it moved from its former home in St Helens to the Rectory Mansion building, which once homed Brading Waxworks.

The couple have confirmed the restaurant will be staying where it is, but it will be having a physical and online 'overhaul'.

Dayna said: "Myself and Stuart have learnt lessons of the trade as proprietors and now we are ready to take what we have learnt and take all the best bits of the Hungry Bear to create something we feel is better.

"It will be something that serves Island people even better than the Hungry Bear has."

Dayna said while there will be change with the new concept, it will "still be us".

"It's still Stuart running the kitchen, Stuart's food, me helping to deliver his vision and our team supporting us", she said.

She said February 25 will be the restaurant's last day as the Hungry Bear.

It will then close for a rebrand and will reopen on March 8.

"Of course there is a risk, like with anything but there has been a deep intuition pulling us in the direction for quite along time", she said.

"We have been known to do things differently and trailblaze and I am sure this rebrand is no different."

"We really hope that you will continue to support us as you have since the early days."
