    Great food, great service. We had an outside table which was perfect on a warm evening. The table layout is well thought through and provided a private dining experience. Would recommend.

    Hi I love the ivy and the atmosphere and the whole feeling there but I didn’t like my meal and was not asked about it. It just wasn’t to my taste but I think the weekend evening could do with being changed a bit more often for variety

    It was a lovely experience with my 7 year old. A proper treat. I thought choosing an earlier time would have suited my 7 year old but I was disappointed with the language around us. The food was really good, the size difference between adult and child was minimal. The home beer was very nice but overpriced in my opinion.

    Great for lunch. Lots of people of all ages having a lovely time. Spacious venue with high ceilings so nothing in the way of a good conversation. Delicious food with a little theatrical touch which was fun. Top marks for Sian who waited on us. Love the Ivy !
