Tucked away on Fish Island, INIS is an Irish influenced neighbourhood restaurant that truly cares about its community and the wonderful people that grace our doors. Daytimes are relaxed and familiar, but come evenings and weekends, we shift into something more refinedthoughtful service, great food, and a sharper edge. INIS (meaning Island in Irish) was created out of a love of the local area and the community within it. Set on the canal towpath we serve a seasonal menu of Irish and British food celebrating produce, provenance and simplicity. Cocktails, wine and coffee. Everyone welcome!
