Always come here. Been faultless every time. Helpful staff and very polite. The carvery was good all the veg’s were piping hot and the meat was great
Brought a friend along as she had never experienced the carvery breakfast. She was, of course, suitably impressed and will be returning with her friends and family ASAP.
as a great lover of all you can eat breakfast it was ok. plates and food could have been hotter and the the fried bread would have been better with the bread being thinner and a little less fat. Beans were a bit tasteless. Will try again soon
the food is lovely well worth the money and staff are very helpful
had another great carvery,took a friend and he was really impressed.meat was very tender,good selection of vegtables will be booking next week for the breakfast.thanks,martin.
Absolutely fantastic meal, booked for next Sunday, couldn't fault it.the staff were lovely and the restaurant was so relaxing, hubby and I had a great time.
Excellent food, excellent service, lovely friendly atmosphere. I chose the regular size carvery which was plenty big enough but for £1.50 you could go large 😳no need for that. A nice regular menu too. Very reasonably priced and I’ll Definately be back.
Best. Carvery. Ever. Best book up as it gets very busy but it is so worth it. Breakfast carvery at the weekend and on bank holidays is also seriously good.
I would highly recommend the island pool,very friendly staff and amazing food.
9 of us went on half price monday .5 had the mixed grill 1 surf and turf, 2 beef lasagne and a fish and chips Brilliant portion sizes and really good food
Great food. Brilliant staff. Very pleasant and clean. Will return
Had Sunday lunch here and food was beautiful. Plenty of veg choices and 4 kinds of meat. We sat at 12 o’clock sitting so was not so busy. But I think later sitting would be much busier. Will be going back again.
Meal lovely. Coke OMG awful like super thick siryp Service at bar happy chef done his charts nice to see changed anything that was dry ect ect going back soon
Meat was very tasty and plenty of it . Most veg fresh but carrots dry and presentation not to usual standard such as not refilling as soon as empty .
nice friendly staff excellent food will go again we had the carvary lots of choice in meat and veg not over cooked like most places
Lovely lunch, food fresh and hot, very good choice of vegetables. Staff very pleasant and helpful as it was our first time going. Will certainly return.
Superb food and top quality as usual,excellent value for money carvery very tasty and plenty of veg to choose from,also great prices on main menu meals
We had the carvery. The meat was very dry and the vegetables were very over cooked. It was so our first visit and our last.
An excellent meal after some confusion finding my booking the staff could not find it on their computer although I had confirmed it earlier in the week. I will ring and book in the future to make sure we got a table not rely on email booking
One of the best carveries I’ve had, excellent value for money, wide range of vegetables, no restriction on Yorkshire puddings, friendly staff. Can highly recommend.
Food good. All had the carvery. Pork a little tough and broccoli overcooked but otherwise ok. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Toilets in need of a makeover.
really good food and service would definitely be coming again
Favourite carvery, visited many times through the year and superb selection of vegetables. Staff have always been very polite. Highly recommend booking to avoid disappointment
Lovely welcome , friendly staff , fast service for those ordering food & the carvery was delicious . Also great value for money . 2 for 1 on Saturdays i
Welcoming staff and reasonable carvery for the price. Good sized car park, so plenty of space to park the car. Set off major road for easy access.
Inviting attitude of staff is great. The food is extremely good. There's always a very good selection of Vegetables. Plus, most drinks are reasonably priced. Overall it's a Great Place to eat...
excellent food its always delicious puddings are great 2 especially chocolate cake
brilliant place lovely food friendly staff its always busy so best to book
had a great time with my family,we all had the carvery and it was one of the best carveries we have tasted.the meats on offer were really lean,plenty on the plate, all the veg was cooked to perfection their was nothing to complain about.the tables were really spaced out and being a big guy I felt really comfortable,i would like to say a very big thank you to all the staff for making us really welcome,can not wait to return again,martin.
Excellent food, excellent service couldn’t fault as always. Beautiful little country pub staff can never do enough for you hence why me and many of my family return regularly
A delightful meal, amazing selection of meat and vegetables, in good company. Really recommend this pub for good food in a clean and friendly establishment.
Staff were 1st class as was the food we had a car very fab would go again in January for my birthday l have been before for breakfast many times always good value
The pub has a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and good service, we had the cavery which was lovely, meat and veg plentiful and cooked perfectly. We liked the fact that the tabled were reasonably spaced. We will be going back.
The food and atmosphere was lovely and tasteful. Nicely decorated for Christmas. I also liked the nice touch, following the request for balloons as the "event" was for a birthday.
Good service and very good value for money. I had booked a table and we were shown to it promptly. Our sweets did take rather a long time to come but they apologised for the wait. I will certainly go again
Carvery was very good , good selection of vegetables to choose from. Lovely selection of puddings if you wish to have afterwards. Staff friendly and helpful.
Spent over £70 and the plates where cold and 3 chipped I pointed this to the waitress who said I will throw them away when you've finished I replied that's what you told me last time I was here her reply "OH" don't they know germs breed in chipped plates not very good I have been there a lot of times but it's really going down hill the food wasn't very hot and with the plates being cold the meals didn't stay hot for long it was my birthday and the whole visit was disappointing
First time here at 6pm on a Sunday and surprised how busy itted was. But then again you do get a good carvery with plenty of choice at a great price!
We all had the carvery which was lovely and good value,restaurant has a warm homely atmosphere,staff were friendly and helpful but the toilets need some attention and were freezing.
Very nice food, sat over by food this time quit hot :( however can never fault the food at all! 3rd time in week having food at island pool
The usual excellent carvery. Really like the large choice of vegetables and that they aren’t coated in butter, along with a choice of roast, mashed or boiled potatoes.
Service was good friendly staff. Food quaiity ok but meals quite small. The carvery looked very nice but we chose to order from the menu . Prices good Wil definitely visit again
We have loved this restaurant for years and often go in, this time we booked a table for two, arrive, seared ordered food and drinks only to be asked to move table for another party, no please, thank you. So we moved table only to see a party of two have our old table. We got our lovely carvery and I asked if there was any sauces (as non had been put out) so I wait for the sauces to have the same woman put the sauces out with a " there" comment as she bangs the bowels down. It's a shame such a lovely place with fantastic food has staff with attitude like that.
Really enjoyed my meal here today will definitely return. Really nice staff, really nice food and really nice atmosphere. I had a carvery and everything looked and tasted very fresh and perfectly cooked, followed by a peanut butter and chocolate stack for desert which was recommended by the gent from behind the bar, not something I would normally order but so glad I did as it was absolutely lovely. Would definitely recommend a meal here.
Awesome. Ignore any other local eateries who may claim to serve the best carvery in the area. THIS is the, hands down, best carvery in the area. Weekend and bank holiday breakfast is also brilliant.
good selection of carvery four selections of meat , all served hot . Table ready and clean, with bar service quick with well kept ales Thank you.
Great food and service - thank you! Buffett style breakfast, brilliant quality and kept really hot! Great value, under £15 for two breakfasts and two drinks
Really good carvery meal. Excellent choice of vegetables which apart from the cauliflower cheese are not buttered or in a sauce. Staff really pleasant and helpful.
Love coming to the island pool , nice food great choice of meats .Some great offers 2 4 1 and half price monday , lovely snd helpful staff :)
Amazing food as always! As much food as you wish, freshly made and tastes so good Fully recommend 👍🏽 Food isn’t expensive - would happily pay more as quality is worth it
