    Always assumed it would be very expensive but it wasn’t at all. Service excellent & food delicious. A good choice of vegan & good choice for my husband who likes his meat. I had a delicious vegan curry & hubby had minute steak with chips. Pud was frozen fruit berries with lemon sorbet & crème brûlée which hubby gave a 9/10. He lives crème brûlée & always gives a rating & 9/10 was excellent. It was our anniversary & we were given a complimentary chocolate slice which was delicious. Will go again with friends

    Food very tasty, tho a bit expensive. Would give 5 stars but found, as in all Ivy restaurants, that the loud very bass music is intrusive and unnecessary

    We enjoyed an afternoon tea as a gift from our son and partner. Nicely presented and a good selection of tastes to experience. Nice decor befitting the name of the establishment.

    Loved the decor - swapped out the smoothie as my daughter doesn’t like banana. Great food!

    Had the most amazing time for our anniversary and they did a lovely touch with an extra pudding saying happy anniversary. Service was amazing(we have an extra tip on top of service charge as he was so lovely!), seating lovely, food delicious. The food is on the pricey side, but you 100% get what you pay for and more! I will be coming back. For sure!
