My family and I visited The Island Pool for my 30th Birthday meal and had a lovely time. The staff were friendly, welcoming and so polite. The food was amazing as always, and there were orders of Carvery and Menu items, also the puddings were delicious! I will definitely be returning and telling my friends about the brilliant time and meal that my family and I had here!

Only offer a carvery choice on Sundays. A lot of choice for the carvery but the plate was cold which meant by the time I had got back to my table the food wasn’t as hot as I would have liked.

Food was lovely - plenty of choice. Would have preferred a table by a window or wall, rather than in the open and in traffic routes of other diners. Overall, would recommend the pub for a meal to others.

Lovely country pub, good food and friendly staff. Carvery is great value with a good choice, puddings are just right without being too big. We had a very enjoyable meal.

The food was ok but the toilets were not clean. There were two toilets and the one had toilet paper all on the floor and the other toilet was broken, as the seat was on the floor, so couldn’t be used! The waste bin was overflowing with hand wipes all on the floor too.

My wife and daughter were very impressed with the carvery they said it was really tastey. Took a point off as my other daughter ,son and I had to wait a while for our meals but they were fairly busy.We all enjoyed our meals and said we would come again for the carvery. Not a lot of choice on the menu but my wife said the carvery was the best she'd had. Nice atmosphere and friendly,helpful staff.

Food was ok. Nothing special. Found the veg to be overdone and watery. The peas had been under the heat lamp too long and were dry. Have had better and cheaper carverys.

Genuinely think they you could be slightly more generous with the meat particularly with the upgrade of £1.50 for the large carvery as I literally had like two extra slices of meat compared to the standard size. Other than that it was very nice food.

Restaurant was very hot with a unpleasant smokey atmosphere obviously coming from the kitchen, could do with an air conditioning unit to make it more pleasant for diners! Food menu was quite limited & tasteless when it arrived, & the staff could do with learning how to smile! Toilets & areas of restaurant were mouldy, not a pleasant experience at all. Won't be going back!
