Me and my partner booked a table by the fire place in The Island which was our local on 29/02/2022 at 5pm. When we arrived we was warmly greeted by the female staff on sitting by the fire place looking to order our drinks and food I noticed each time I looked up 2 of the male staff who were sitting opposite us watching us for no unknown reason, one was on his laptop throughout which seemed odd. As we continued our evening my partner noticed the same in which she felt very uncomfortable like we did something wrong, We eventually ate our food and finished our evening but vowed to never come back as its not something a paying customer wants to be feeling. The service was good to start off with...
I want to visit this island again. The atmosphere is very friendly, the staff is nice, and the pub food is good. I had a burger and my friend had fish and chips, both were delicious. The sticky toffee pudding and lemon posset pudding with shortbread were also tasty. The pub is nice, well-managed, and has a good selection of drinks. It was busy when I went for lunch on Monday, and it's clear they have regular customers, which I hope to become. I highly recommend this pub, the staff is great.
I enjoyed the food at this restaurant and the patio area was lovely, but I was disappointed by the plastic roof cover. It made it very uncomfortable in the hot sun and prevented me from getting any vitamin D. Smoking is allowed in the covered area, which goes against regulations. If there was one small uncovered area for sun lovers and non-smokers, this would be my favorite restaurant.
What a terrible excuse for a restaurant. We ordered Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding. Meals arrived without Yorkshire pudding, no acknowledgement or apology, just told bluntly they were out of it. Roast looked like slices from a package, Very disappointing. No effort on the part of staff to compensate for lacking components of meal. They could not have cared less. Such a rip off!

We went to the Island for Christmas lunch in the midst of the pandemic chaos. I’m sure they were a couple of team members down but the service was super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and more than we could eat but they were happy to pack up the leftovers to take home. Great atmosphere, great service, great food and given it was Christmas Day, great value.
There were few other diners in the upstairs restaurant on this warm evening so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We therefore got great service from the pleasant (new) waiter. The mains' menu isn't enormous but includes enough variety. We chose vegetarian and meat dishes. Both were lovely. As was the beer that we had with them.
Thank you so much for making my husbands birthday really special. Delicious food, fab service and whilst complying with all the social distancing guidelines you made us forget about COVID for a blissful couple of hours! Thank you!
A great meal, well presented and good value for money and the staff were helpful friendly and efficient. Unfortunately the evening was spoilt by the inappropriate background music. Too loud and only 2 tracks on a continuous loop.

This local pub is fantastic. The menu is excellent, the staff is friendly, and there is an outdoor area that is perfect for enjoying the sun all afternoon.
The island has been recently taken over and refurbed. What a change! Lovely, cosy pub with friendly service and delicious food. We love it!
