A nice vibe, good food, and great service. I recommend the mixed grill - absolutely lovely!
I used to frequent this pub very regularly many years ago. As part of my recent tour of Desi mixed grills, I thought I'd pop in to reminisce and eat. Firstly I was surprised to see how nice it looks inside compared to back in the day. Very clean and stylish now. The lady behind the bar was very welcoming and friendly, the beer selection was ok, with Madri and Staropramen as the most premium ones there. I have to say I was surprised when I tasted the food because it was exactly the same as it used to be. The mixed grill is nicely balanced and not overloaded with cheap wings, there were 4 lamb chops on it. It didn't look promising when it came out with very minimal smoking and sizzling, but everything on it was decent. The only two slight let downs were that the naans were burnt and too firm, and we got given plain chips instead of masala chips. That said, the chips were the absolute perfect texture you can get. We weren't going to bother bringing up the mistake, but the lady at the bar engaged us in chip-related conversation! so we just told her about the chips only, and she immediately went looking to rectify it, eventually refunding us the difference for those. 10-14 years ago, this was up there as one of the best places for a mixi, and I think now it's been forgotten about a little bit with these new ones popping up, but I have to say it's still worth visiting.
The Island Inn is a fantastic place to eat. The food is delicious. A large variety to choose from including Veg and Non Veg dishes. The mix grill is amazing, food is very tasty and cooked to perfection. Nice atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended!
The mix grill was below average, dry and not fresh. The curries were nice but I asked for it hot and they laced it with too much chilli! But they did remake it and it was lovely after. Overall nice but felt like they just reheated the food and served it.
Restaurant was lovely, staff very polite and friendly. Food was delicious After another visit we enjoyed the food and service. As its local we always enjoy the food
