About Island
Elegant British gastropub offering supper deals in association with a nearby boutique cinema.
This place underwent a comprehensive re-vamp in 2006 and now operates over three floors, with an upstairs restaurant, bar menu downstairs, outside tables/terrace and a market on Sundays. Music nights Thursdays and Sundays. Converted from a grim, 1970s bunker of a pub: now much more welcoming. Refurbished again 2019 and under independent management.

This fabulous pub is near our rental so we reserved a table for dinner. I wanted fish & chips and I wasn’t disappointed - delicious!!! Highly recommend for good atmosphere, food & service.

We went for a late bite to eat and were incredibly surprised at how beautiful the location was. The staff is very friendly, and the food couldn’t have been better. 10/10. You’re missing out if you don’t give this place a try. It was honestly the best part of my trip to London. Thank you 🙏🏽

The team were so accommodating when I realised I’d booked for the wrong day and managed to find a booking slot over a bank holiday weekend. We were greeted warmly from the second we walked in and were looked after well throughout our meal. The vegetarian roast (kale, mushroom and sweet potato) with all the trimmings was one of the best ones I’ve had and I’d highly recommend it! The beef and chicken roasts were thoroughly enjoyed, too. We’re already keen to come back!

Nice place. Friendly and welcoming staff. Food is great and cooked pretty quick (depends on time when you visit)
