As locals we have seen this place change over the years. The current owner has also made alot of changes over the past year or so and the most recent being the best so far.
Before lockdown the food was a fried sloppy mess.....
My...husband and I would frequent The Island as its wood fired pizzas were to die for (and its kids free/R18) nice when you need some time away from the children.
We turned up on Thursday night as our usual , some food and beer /cider tried the new baked camembert with confit garlic, honey and woodford bread. OMG best thing iv put in my mouth in quiet some time 😉 so good we came back the next night to the main restaurant as we brought the kids, had more delicious food.
My husbands chicken burger and daughters loaded fries, epic! Even the onion rings, before they were average as, now.... crispy deliciousness cooked to perfection.
Hate to say it but those plastic red bowls need to go, you have done such a great job with the menu and that for me was the only thing that I thought..... meh.
So nice to see the menu refined, I hear you have a new chef in.... so a big thumbs up to him. Definitely will be a regular weekly for us 👍🙌More
