Customer Review Summary

Reviewers repeatedly praise the traditional pub food, with tandoori chicken skewers and chips singled out for their taste, alongside a hosted wake where the function room spread drew high praise. One diner found the Steak Pie underwhelming and pricey for £15-20 mains. Big grassed areas outside for alfresco dining also get a mention.

    “Hosted my Mum's wake here in the function room, the Ivy House team put a fantastic spread on for us all, loads of food and nothing was too much trouble for them. Great pub, highly recommended.”
  • Scott McGhee
    “Traditional pub with fantastic traditional grub, would be how I describe The Ivy House. Visited upon recommendation from a family friend for two birthdays. The food is banging!! The chips are the nicest I've tasted in decades! Everyone has left happy and full to the brim. Couldn't stomach dessert as the portions are very healthy. Would definitely recommend!”

    “The Pub is really nice, the drink quality was very good, and the bar/food service was very good/excellent. The food itself for me was fantastic Tandoori Chicken Skewers were cooked really well, the taste and presentation of my meal was fantastic the taste of the sprinkled paprika on the fries were excellent, salad excellent, yoghurt sauce excellent. only two minor niggles of this dish Sala Sauce I personally thought was not nice (usually my fav) put to one side as was spoiling the dish, the thickness of the naan too much, 2 small naans, or one thinner one preferred, but the Naan served was lovelly. The dish was excellent value for money.... I just want to point out that the two minor niggles are minor issues, one of the best pub meals I have ever had in a long time of this type. I would still give an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5.... I have still voted 5 stars in my review as next time I come I do hope the polite feedback of this dish is taken on board and again would reorder the same dish as everyone on our table commented on my dish and how fabulously it looked.... You cannot get a better compliment than everyone asking to try and saying it tasted lovely. THANK YOU TO VENUE AND ALL THE STAFF, THIS IS A GENUINE PAYING CUSTOMER (WELL MY PARTNER PAID), AND I WILL BE BACK AGAIN. PS: A shout out to Eleanor, she was very polite, professional and was serving clients with the utmost professionalism and politeness. Credit to the venue.”
