    Good fun as always. For some reason we were seated at a table at the front of the restaurant where were at 90 degrees to each other and next to people who were just drinking water and being loud. A request to move was accommodated. So our waiting staff was excellent. Thank you.

    Everything was lovely, by only observation is that the turnover is very quick, we had only just finished our starter and the main course arrived less than 2 minutes later. The food was lovely and the service very good. A slightly slower pace would have made it even more enjoyable.

    Very nice restaurant for afternoon tea, but unfortunately not made very welcome. I had ordered 2 vegetarian, this was questioned and we were made to feel rather a nuisance as they had no record. Everything was rather 'plonked' down on a very small table. We had to ask for extra spoons, tea refill etc Also we did ask for wipes, or alternatively finger bowls everything was so creamy !

    Dear Anne, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the afternoon tea itself, we’re truly sorry that the service did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the vegetarian order, table setup, and attentiveness of service have been noted and will be shared with the team for review. We always aim to provide a warm, welcoming experience, and it's clear we fell short on this occasion. Please accept our sincere apologies, and thank you again for helping us improve. Kind Regards, The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie

    We had our first experience of Afternoon tea yesterday at the Ivy in Cambridge using a voucher we had received as a Christmas gift. It was a delight! We were able to take advantage of the free G&T to celebrate the King's birthday which added to the experience. The service, food and overall ambience was outstanding. Everything about the tea was exceptional. We couldn't eat everything and were delighted to take away the final goodies to enjoy at home later. Many thanks for a special day!
