   The wine was out of stock so a replacement sent at double the price twice without any consultation. One meal left off so waited for 20 mins to get it. Money taken off the bill but still not a great Christmas Eve experience

   Wonderful waitress. Very friendly and helpful. We went for Christmas Eve breakfast. We had pancakes, full English and eggs Benedict. Eggs a bit more done than previously which is a shame but everything else was spot on!

   Requested a quiet table (we booked many weeks ago) and it was not honored. Service was slow and a bit random and our main server disappeared without explanation half way through. The person at the door ( hostess) was brusque and not welcoming.

   Excellent service and food. We loved The Snowman dessert - clever concept and delicious. This Ivy has a great atmosphere and is very well run

   I enjoyed the vegetarian curry despite the fact that our waiter forgot to tell the kitchen tat I REALLY didn't want any coriander shoots sprinkled on it (I picked them off!). One guest had fish and chips which was rated OK. Two guests had fishcakes which they enjoyed. So, all in all good but not outstanding.

   Lovely setting and great seat amongst the foliage but unfortunately some of the meals were quite dry and warm not hot

    Great setting and surroundings. Good welcome and very well designed. The service was friendly but slow and long delays between ordering and food arriving-and drinks even longer. The menu is massive and varied- the food is fine (small portions) but not spectacular. A focussed less expansive menu might work better and be more memorable. £75 per head with only one glass of wine ……….
