  “Seven of us all girls, had a fantastic evening at Ivy House celebrating a special birthday. The environment, is very welcoming & comfortable. The food was faultless and generous. The staff were all very tentative & made us all so welcome. Singing happy birthday & opening a complementary bottle of fizz between us. Ive House is a hidden gem. We will return. Thank you”

  “This is a restaurant that always hits the mark with the highest standards of food, service and atmosphere. We enjoyed A gorgeous valentines dinner last night with a superb Camembert dish for me and home made smoked haddock fish cake for My partner, this was followed by a most sumptuous surf and turf with the most tender steak I have enjoyed for a long time and langoustine cooked to perfection for me with lamb loin for my partner which I did have little taste of and it was melt in the mouth good. It would have been rude not to try the home made sticky toffee pudding which is honestly the best I ever tasted and I know I will now have a hard time enjoying another as much !!! Thank you all for another night of absolutely top class food and service x x”

  “The food is out of this world from starters to mains to desert . Service in its self was great only two down sides were when the mains come i had to wait an additional 10min for my peppercorn sauce so my dinner was half eaten my yhe time it came .it's a pitty as the food was amazing. The second was it was valentines night all romantic and the room we were in they moved a table from our room down stairs and disrupted the room as it banged against the wall with a clatter. But apart from that it's a place you want to go food is amazing and the place is a hidden gem will be back and hopefully change from a 4☆ to a 5☆review”

  “What a beautiful place this with stunning food. My partner order the duck parfait I think it was....the flavours were gorgeous. I ordered the surf and turf from the Valentines menu and it was beautiful. The lobster tart was amazing. My husband order the steak with a peppercorn sauce, it didn't get brought out with the steak. We brought it up with a waiter and waited a bit longer. Nearly 10 minutes passed before it was brought out. They were very apologetic. The food was gorgeous though. My only other point would be is that it's perhaps not the best thing to move tables and chairs from one room to another. One table was moved through a small gap banging it on the wall which made us all jump. The booking and sorting of a bigger table should be better planned as every customer was looking. I watched a lady raise her hand for a waiters attention several times while this was going on. I have gave this review 4 stars because of the food. I understand the owner was cooking that night. We will definitely return.”

  “Lovely restaurant that was our only option on a Saturday night where everywhere was booked out. This fine dining restaurant was tucked away in a odd the track little village. It seems to be a hotel with rooms. It was elegantly decorated …”

  “Good find - definitely a hotel restaurant (not a pub), pretty quiet, but excellent service and good food. Kitchen clearly cared and was imaginative. Wood pigeon was tender and went well with the black pudding. Lamb fillet was tender and …”

  “The ambience of the restaurant was lovely but lacked a bit of atmosphere with only a couple of tables used midweek before Christmas. We had a lovely meal with dishes that you couldn't get elsewhere. I had a wonderful curried haddock, sweetcorn and potato chowder, and others had venison and juniper casserole, which they raved about for ages. Excellent cheese platter as well! Shames cider and beers weren't small brewery or local”
