    Went for an anniversary lunch and was treated wonderfully by staff. They were very attentive and kind in their service. The zucchini frites and truffle arancini were lovely starters. The half chicken and stuffing roast was the biggest letdown. We bought 2 and found it all to be very dry and the chicken was overcooked to the point we could only finish half of the meal each. Nevertheless, staff were very accommodating after we raised our concerns and offered us a complimentary dessert (the tiramisu was to die for!) We also received a free profiterole dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Overall we gave it 4 out of 5, as much as we disliked our main courses, the restaurant catered to us very well and we left satisfied and full! Would recommend The Ivy in The Lanes, just not the half chicken roast.
