We had a wonderful time at the Ivy on Monday 3rd August. We were celebrating my granddaughter winning a gold medal for Wales at the Dance World Cup in Ireland. The staff made her feel so special and we all had a wonderful time. The food was exceptional too.

A lovely venue, a calm atmosphere in a beautiful location. The staff were very attentive. I thought the portion size a little small on a couple of dishes, but overall a great lunch on a special occasion.
