This was our first time at The Island Pool and we were very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was lovely and spacious, staff were friendly and not pushy. There was a lovely selection of food at the carvery. We will definitely be back in the future! :)

As always The Island Pool is a fantastic place to eat. The meat is beautifully cooked, and plenty of fresh potato's and vegetables. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Hint though, book in advance as the Island Pool is very popular.

The carvery has at least 4 different meats the largest variety of veg I have found at any local carvery and all cooked to a great standard. Great value for money. I would always book in advance but they do try and accommodate couples if you walk in on spec.

4 of us visited all decided to have the Carvery and we all said how good it was. Good price, All meats cooked beautifully and a good sized portion, good range of Veg and Potatoes and the selections we had were all fresh tasting so had not been being kept hot too long. Our table was in a corner location which was great for us no draughts! no one pushing past etc. We were not rushed to leave our table either (yes it was a mid week lunch) so suited us as we did a lot of chatting. We only had one drink each but for 4 drink and meals for under £40 i think these days is very reasonable.

Food quality, taste and choice were excellent, queuing for carvery right next to our table spoilt the dining experience, would probably not go again for Sunday lunch.

Very disappointing again, too many customers and not enough staff. One of our party’s food arrived 15 minutes after we had finished our meal and it was the wrong meal. This is not the first time we have been disappointed in this way, the only good thing was our waitress.

We had a nice meal, we had to wait some time for our table to be made up because of a large party using the table we needed adding onto ours and our children did start to get a bit restless but other than that the food was amazing and we had a nice experience.
