    Very loud and felt quite crammed. Food was bland in the afternoon tea, only flavour was the salmon sandwiches. Having a voucher from work as a gift to celebrate my 50th it wasn’t special at all. Disappointing food. Looked lovely but lacked taste and texture.

    The Ivy was really busy when we went but that did not affect how relaxed and how well we were looked after. All the staff were calm and polite. The food was deliously and we didn't have to wait long and our server was very attentive. We had the 1917 mebu which was excellent value for money and the salt crusted sourdough was amazing value too. We thought it would be in slices but it was an actual cob.

    Excellent food and ambiance. Had the 3-course menu with a glass of bubbly, only suggestion is they should include at least one side with the main course and you pay if you require extra.

    What a beautiful lunch! Lovely autumn menu and great value for money. Staff were polite and professional. Gorgeous atmosphere, thoroughly enjoyed. A lovely little touch with a dessert and candle for my friend’s birthday.
