So sad.. I've been witnessing the slow demise of this place for the past 15 years.. it was always odd and a bit run down, but the garden has always been a draw in the sunshine. Having hoped that the (now not so new) owners would turn the Isis around with time, when they took over a fair few years ago, I've sadly been bitterly disappointed when visiting again recently. Unbelievably, the indoors looks more tired and grimy than ever. The newly put up Baroque style (?!) prints have nothing to do with the place, the "new" (ex-fly tip?) furniture is awful, the fake foliage everywhere tacky and off-putting. And after seeing an uncovered, big metal canister of raw unbreaded fish festering in the heat by their kitchen window for the duration of our visit, I certainly would not dream of risking eating there. (This was weekday lunchtime during the recent heatwave...) The staff were run off their feet despite hardly any people there and it seemed chaotic at best. They have now crammed a load of extra tables in the garden, most of them connected and with a sign nailed on a tree that forbids moving any of them... why? No idea, as the layout is hardly aesthetically pleasing nor sensical. This together with the tacky gazebo "extension" ruins the charm of the outside view completely. The current owners seem to focus on using the Isis as a platform for their own music and musician mates (I'm not a fan personally and it doesn't suit the place), whilst forgetting the basics of cleanliness, organisation, customer service and quality food and drink. I don't know what their credentials are, but any local could give them advice on how to improve things tenfold. This place has the biggest potential, despite access problems and the odd occurrence of flooding, but sadly it is sinking further and further into the pit. I'm not sure I will be returning, which is making me feel rather somber, but in its current state, I struggle to support it. :(
