    Blackened cod wasn’t great to be honest. It wasn’t like any blackened cod I’ve ever had and the fish was very overcooked. I would not order this same dish again in the future. Disappointing for the money!😒

    We were slightly disappointed today. Food was ordered and arrived but we asked for more gravy twice and were never brought any. No one asked if we wanted any sauces so had to find someone to ask. No one asked if our meals were all okay. Our bill was wrong with extra things added that we didn’t have. And the price of bottled water was so expensive. The food was also not that hot. Overall we all felt disappointed. The restaurant and decor look amazing. We had another booking for another day and have cancelled now.

    What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. We had the full English breakfast which was superb.. two sausages, two pieces of bacon, two eggs, two large flat mushrooms, tomato, and two hash-browns, baked beans and black pudding alongside a rack of toasted granary bread. The newly opened Ivy restaurant sits in the busy High Street and affords views of the High Street, which makes it the perfect place for people watching . The restaurant was warm as was the staff’s hospitality and in particular Maddie who served us and is a real credit to her company . We are regulars at the Ivy Brasserie chain and this new addition close to our home is fantastic for occasional dining or a special occasion .  well done guys and keep up the good work.
