    Lovely meal on the whole. Service was good but £25 for a burger is a little steep.

    The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The traditional fish and chips and the classic shepherd’s pie were mouthwateringly tasty. For dessert, we had the Ivy chocolate bombe to share paired with some Earl Grey tea which was delightful and rich. Overall, the service was slightly slow but the waitress Rhea was pleasant and personable on approach. Thank you for another lovely experience!

    Rushed and crowded. Whilst the restaurant and food was good, the tables are on top of each other and clearly they wanted covers in and out as soon as possible. You couldn’t have a conversation as people on adjoining tables were on top of you. The couple next to us were on a full FaceTime call which we were forced to listen to without staff suggesting the call was inappropriate.
