From start to finish all was good. A friendly welcome to begin. Especially the young man looking out for visitors in the torrential rain and directing them to the only entrance at the back not needing waders! Excellent starters of smokies and home made pate. The Jack Rabbit wine is one of the better "plonks" and reasonably priced. I particularly like the shiraz but the sauv. blanc was good too. Mains of shoulder of lamb and belly pork were both ample and good eating. It was a bit noisy at times as there is a low ceiling and little soft furnishing but never out of hand. Just made a happy atmosphere. Well worth a 5. We'll be back.

The Ivy House is amazing. A nice quirky pub serving lovely home cooked food. The staff are also all very lovely, this was all to apparent on our visit bank holiday Monday.
My partner and I decided to visit the Ivy House for a bank holiday treat. We were seated in the restaurant part of the pub which had some lovely views of the countryside. While waiting for our food an elderly lady who was also dining was taken very ill and an ambulance was called. Without going into too much detail the staff made a real effort at helping the lady, especially Martin (I think his name was) who from what I can gather was the chef. Once the elderly woman was taken care of and our food arrived we received massive apologies for the wait, which really wasn't necessary considering the events!
When the food came it was a medley of melt in the mouth goodness and all very reasonably priced, I would not hesitate to visit this lovely place again!
Thank you

Passed this pub/restraurant many times over the years and decided to give it a try. We went on a Tuesday early eavening. Cosy and welcoming inside. We both ordered the mixed veg soup to start, it was delicious. For the mains I ordered the pulled beef, it melted in the mouth, the mash potato was lovely and creamy. My other half had the steak and ale pie, he said it was tasty and the hand cooked chips were perfect. We shall visit again soon.

Beautiful food and a warm and welcoming atmosphere! We come here 2-3 times a month and have done for the last 10 years, the Sunday lunch is some delicious and is real homemade food!

Have eaten here 4 or 5 times now and always had and enjoyable time. Food is always lovely and good portion size. Staff friendly and efficient. Prices very reasonable for the quality of food. Can highly recommend the 10 hour slow cooked pulled beef! Might be worth booking at weekends as it does get quite busy!

Amazing food. Exceeded expectations to find corked bottle of wine in house. Looks simple from the outside and welcoming within. Definitely recommend. I had Sea Bass which was cooked ro perfection. He had steak n ale pie. Beef that melts in your mouth. This is our first time and will definitely be returning. A must visit!

Visited with as a party of 5 on a Saturday night booked table in advance as knew it would be busy. This is my 3 rd visit and it was just as good as before food was excellent all home cooked no freeze dried rubbish here. The steak and ale pie is to die for and my husband always enjoys the good selection of old ales on tap. I would definitely recommend the ivy house.

A lovely place with a big carpark and garden for the summer time. When you enter it looks quite small..but then you go down the few steps into the restaurant its quaint and seats about 50. The waiting staff have lovely smiles, (but are very busy) and cater for everything you need. The food portions are plentyfull and their hand cut chips are great...we both had fish, and shared a portion of onion rings..then we had a desert..cheesecake and apple pie, all fab. Bar staff arr very friendly too.
My only criticism would be, I think they could have a few more mains on the menu. We would deffinately go again..Thank you for a nice evening.

Popped after visiting someone in the home close to the pub. A warm welcome from the moment we went in, barman was pleasant, the beer just right. Then decided to eat, asked if there was any tables & was promptly shown to a table by a young lady. The food was as good as it gets, wife had pulled beef, which she is still going on about, everything was perfect for her, I had the lasagne with garlic bread, chips & salad everything again cooked to perfection, followed by profiteroles for both. Excellent value, excellent food & excellent service. Might even visit the mother in law again at this rate!!

The Coniston Centre would like to say a big thank you to you Hilary, Martin and all the staff at The Ivy House for providing Christmas lunch outings for our Service Users and their relatives. The food was superb, hot and most of all homemade by Martin himself, whilst catering for the varying dietary requirements of our Service Users. Everybody had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We will definitely be recommending you to others and be visiting again soon!

My daughter and nieces surprised me with a birthday meal here in December last year. It was a great night with the food, the staff and general family atmosphere being excellent. Such did my mother enjoy it,that we re-booked for her birthday in March this year and if anything, the night surpassed the afore-mentioned. Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Will be hoping to book another birthday for June 2016!

Ive passed this pub so many times and always wondered what it was like. Me and the misses decided to use it for "date night" and definitely wasnt disappointed.
I had the steak special and my better half the gammon and it was lovely. The portion sizes were above the norm which was great, and the beer was fantastic. As an avid real ale fan I was pleasantly surprised on the selection.
Definitely worth a try

We were out for a Friday evening drive and decided to eat out, I've been here before, with work colleagues, but my wife hadn't. After perusing the menu, a very difficult decision had to be made, we both went for the Shoulder of lamb. The lamb did not die in vain. A wonderful meal, delightfully pleasant staff, and excellent value for money.

we booked a buffet to follow a funeral. The food was excellent as everything was freshly prepared and presented. The quiches were very tasty. The and coffee were provided. The staff were friendly and we were looked after very well.
Although we didn't make use of the garden, this area was beautifully laid out and would be safe for children to play

This is a pub with two small bar areas on different levels which has had its former small restaurant area converted into a third seating area and a large (plain and characterless) extension added on the back. For me this spoiled the pub but you can see why they did it - to squeeze several rows of tables in and increase the restaurant turnover. There is still the unspoiled bar areas and a very nice beer garden looking out across open fields. They serve food to bench tables in the beer garden.The food is better than the usual chain pubs and the lunch menu is very reasonable although the evening menu is a bit more pricey. It's a Banks' pub and so you do have a couple of optional real ale guest beers. Watch out for the poetic phrases and sayings painted onto the fence panels in the garden.

All of our family have visited this establishment on many occasions and have always enjoyed the atmosphere here. The staff are always helpful and friendly and I like the decor. I suppose if you like noisy trendy pubs then this is not the place to go but I know which I would prefer, a better clientele. The food is always of a fine presentation and I have never had any hygiene problems. I have visited for over 15 years and will continue.
