    We much enjoyed our first (but not last) visit to The Ivy House. Everything was excellent except the red wine which was a little disappointing for a Chateauneuf du Pape

    We had a really lovely evening. The food was excellent a very good choice of all courses and the service was superb. A very pretty dining room with lots of space so you didn’t feel at all crowded.

    Staff were very attentive & so lovely. My partner had a chicken curry & he said it was one of the best he had ever had & he’s eaten at Michelin star restaurants. I had steak linguini which was equally delicious. Both had sticky toffee pudding with honeycomb which was so light & yummy. Couldn’t fault anything & will definitely be eating there again.

    We love this restaurant, food good and beautifully presented. Staff attentive and polite, if anything the service is too quick! No time to finish pre meal drink before food arrived. It’s such a lovely place we’d happily return.

    Have been several times. The whole experience has always been excellent. It's a little pricey - but probably worth it when compared to other similar establishments.

    Reliable, excellent food and service. Shame that so few tables were occupied. We would have preferred less background music!
