    Nice setting. Good service. Food was just ok for the price. Had the prawn cocktail and lobster pasta and taste could have been better.

    We were in 5 of which two were 2 boys - 4 year old and 7 year old. In addition we had an 18 month older. The young boys were not well behaved! However the staff were amazing. They accommodated us in an exceptional way and didn’t make us feel at all uncomfortable. Thank you.

    Lovely meal on the whole. Service was good but £25 for a burger is a little steep.

    The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The traditional fish and chips and the classic shepherd’s pie were mouthwateringly tasty. For dessert, we had the Ivy chocolate bombe to share paired with some Earl Grey tea which was delightful and rich. Overall, the service was slightly slow but the waitress Rhea was pleasant and personable on approach. Thank you for another lovely experience!
