    Having travelled to London in the past and enjoyed afternoon teas in various locations, we were very pleased that the newly opened Canterbury Ivy were offering Afternoon Tea. We cannot speak too highly of our whole experience. The three tiered selection, together with side plate of warm scones, all looked and tasted delicious - the savoury and sweet items, each with its own lovely flavours. The service was excellent - efficient, friendly and helpful, all of which created a very relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be returning

    Lovely restaurant with excellent staff, food, ambiance. I wear a hearing aid and can struggle in the noisy middle of restaurant seating, so they always respond to my request of a table at the edge and give us the lovely table near the window in corner where it is raised up. There are some outstanding dishes on the menu, corn ribs, chicken65, Kerala fish curry, biryani to name a few. Drinks are a little pricey, but food is reasonably priced for the quality. Friendly people, we’ll be back!
