Island - Brent

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 but then went down hill as when we finished our main we was expected to be offered the deserts menu in which we sat for 30 mins until the female staff came over by that time we were already annoyed so decided to leave. Even to leave we had to get up and go to the Bar in order for someone to get our attention before paying the bill. The menu seems to be the same each tine we go there, No Cocktails, Burger was uncooked as it was very pink inside and the food was overpriced. 2 people was 80 something pounds and they had the cheek to add 10pounds plus service charge. Its a shame its our local but we will not be returning or recommending to anyone ever again.

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.

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.

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.

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!
