    Service was really slow despite the restaurant not being busy, took ages to be sat at a table even with a booking. Expect a bit better from the Ivy

    What a fantastic afternoon tea, from the minute you walk in to the moment you leave is an absolute experience, our service staff were spot on , so friendly and welcoming, went through the menu explaining everything clearly and with great knowledge. Nothing was too much trouble. Then the amazing afternoon tea came out , totally blown away and will definitely be coming back. The whole ambiance is fantastic and it really made a special day very special !
