Deadman's Beach on Peter Island, BVI

Food and drink

You have lots of dining choices on Peter Island. There are two restaurants: Tradewinds and Deadman's Beach Bar and Grill. Breakfast is always served at Tradewinds, a large restaurant overlooking the sea and the arrival point for boats. This is the focal point for island life throughout the day, with guests breakfasting until late morning and then transferring over to the next-door pool or bar. You can order from the a la carte menu – pancakes, various cooked breakfasts – but we found the buffet impressive, especially the fruit platters and omelette, which are cooked to order.

Lunch is a relaxed affair, taken at one of the restaurants, at the spa or in your room, if you like. Dinner is either at Tradewinds, when a posh frock is required, or the laid-back Deadman's, which reminded us of a scene from Cocktail. You can dine in your room – and if you have a sea-facing balcony, it’s a lovely experience. Food here is typically Caribbean, with lots of seafood and spicy chicken dishes.
