    A fantastic restaurant situated just on the outskirts of Canterbury. A brilliant blend of indoor and outdoor dining areas, including an outdoor gazebo area. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience, which relies on the buzz of the customers rather than music, which is what we prefer. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home, the owner (Matt) was on hand to welcome us and also made an extra effort to make my normally very shy kids feel at ease. It was my wife's birthday and the staff left her a handwritten birthday card which was incredibly touching. The food was stunning, excellent portion sizes, plenty to choose from, but not an overbearing menu, and a great mix of dishes featuring locally sourced ingredients. The BBQ sharer for two is a perfect choice if you're a meat eater, but everyone is catered for. We can't wait to go back again to try something different James, Catherine, Ceira and Luke Cameron

    Lovely evening at Ivy--the sommelier helped us pick an excellent, reasonably priced wine. The food was great; we had the two-course heritage menu, which was perfect!

    From start to finish, the staff could not have been more friendly, pleasant and helpful, from the security at the door, to the lovely waitress and rhe guy who I can only assume was one of the managers. A credit to the place each and every one. On top of that, the food was outstanding and reasonable, the music was a little loud for my personal taste, but I'm prob just getting on a bit!😅 Would definitely eat there again, great venue for a group booking!
