A nice old pub with nooks and crannies but with a restaurant area that overlooks long, green fields. The evening menu offers a reasonable variety, from belly pork to spaghetti with meatballs, both of which were very tasty and came in ample proportions for less than £10 each. The service was excellent and the cask beers well kept. Will certainly visit again

A great little pub with marvellous food. Real faggots. Wow.
I even took the wife there for lunch, but they'd stopped serving :-(
We'll definitely be trying again tho'

Slightly lacklustre frontage, but don't let that put you off! The Ivy House is a homely, traditional venue with good, hearty food. A small menu, with something for everyone. I really like the bar area with its little nooks and crannies, but it could do with a little bit of an update and refresh to compete with other venues in the area, but I could be wrong? This could be the reason why I like Ivy House - it's charming characteristics perhaps its the wonky floor and olde worlde beams which sets it apart from its sterile counterparts?
Anyway, give Ivy House a chance! The food is lovely, home cooked, hot and good value. I will definitely be returning there!

Myself and two friends sat in the small bar and ate a very good lunch time/late afternoon meal. The barman was friendly and helpful from the off, and the meals were served very quickly after ordering. We had two lasagne and a pork chop meal, and they were all brought to the table nicely presented and steaming hot. I had my eye on an apple and custard desert from the start, and it didn't disappoint. Lashings of custard too.
Good quality, reasonable prices, friendly service.
I would use The Ivy House again.

Visited recently with friends for a Saturday night catch up. Atmosphere, staff and food choice and quality all good. When eating they will also take your drinks order, serve at the table and add to your bill so more of a restaurant feel than a pub with food. Would definately recommend and will be returning with our own family.

We have used this pub quite a few times now. It's easy to get to on the main road up towards Cannock from Walsall, it's got a good sized car park and in the summer a garden area you can sit out in. I would certainly suggest booking if you want to go at the weekends.
On arrival we were treated by friendly and helpful staff confirmed we had booked and took u to out table, it's normal whilst eating they take your drinks order when at the table. The drinks available are varied and of a good quality if you like real ale there is always at least 3 options to pick from
The menu is varied and different from the usual chain pubs. The food is of a very good quality and very well presented, the service is prompt and polite, nothing too much for the staff. Once finished eating you can either sit and the table and enjoy a drink or move to the main bar areas all of which are in good order clean and with some character.
It's probabaly one of the best pub meals around in the area, yes it's a bit more than some but as they say you pay for what you get.

Fab selection of Sunday lunch I had country vegatable soup starter £1.75 and a roast beef main £6.95. No desert as I was too stuffed. Don't let the low prices put you off this is great British dining at its best. very tasty food nothing bland on my plate. Booking is recommended as Sunday seems to be very busy. A new weekley menu is starting this week and will definitely be back to try out the new food..

This is a very cosy and comfortable pub with a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is well laid out and has a lovely view over fields and farmland. The food is freshly cooked and well presented with a varied menu. At lunch time you can chose from the lunch or a l carte menus, both of which are very good value for money. I've eaten here several times and the food is always delicious. The menu changes fairly regularly too. There is a good selection of beers and wines with regular guest ales. The service is always excellent. The ambience is great with no loud gaming machines, but has background music played just at the right level. No having to shout to make yourself heard here! It's well worth a visit to the Ivy House, you can be sure of a warm welcome in a proper traditional pub. I have one tip....if you would like to eat on a Friday or Saturday evening or go for Sunday lunch it's best to book in advance as it gets extremely busy.

This friendly pub shows us why we don't need music, tellies etc to have a good time. People congregate to share the stories of the day, to have a giggle and a gossip whilst tasting the local liquid fayre, and this pub enhances just that, it invites people in to its heart, which is of course the folk !!
Beer and staff were equal to the rustic ambiencePlease don't become a 'big pub'
STAY EXACTLY AS YOU AREThis is what travelers from all over the world come to see
(JSWinds is just blowing it, you sound grumpy and full of old tatty furniture!)

Whilst the food here is acceptable, the building itself is not. Dimly lit, full of old and tatty furniture, decorated like an 80s living room with a dining area that is so tightly packed you get bumped whenever somebody walks past.

We have visited the Ivy house a few times it is a great pub with a friendly atmosphere. The food is beautiful and the service is great.

We have lived locally to the Ivy House for many years and decided to pop in today for lunch for the first time. What have we been missing! Lovely,quaint old pub with a charming interior and warm and welcoming staff. There is a choice of lunch or a la carte menu but to be honest,price wise there is little difference,both are reasonably priced.We waited a little while for our meals but I have no problem with this, I see it as confirmation that it is freshly cooked.I ordered lasagne,and my hubby the pork chop.Both were beautifully presented,substantial portions and was obviously fresh.One tiny,tiny niggle is that the salt grinder was soggy....a few grains of rice would sort that out.Overall, delighted and so impressed. Great job Ivy House, we will be back for more.

I live only three or four miles from this pub and hadn't been until recently but loved it.
Homely, fresh and well cooked food and enough of it and the staff are very pleasant too. Back there in a couple of weeks as the have a new menu and have booked a Christmas meal too. Gary (Chef) returned recently so another plus.

Had a very enjoyable meal on a Monday lunchtime. It was quiet which may have meant faster service but I thought it was very good service and the food was really good. There is a good choice of beers, home cooked food and you look out over fields rather than buildings even though you are not far from built-up areas in Bloxwich and Walsall. It is reasonable value, not any more than anywhere else locally and at least it's not a chain pub. There's a beer garden but it was too breezy to sit outside on the day we went - it would be lovely for a meal on a warm, summer evening. I would recommend and will definitely go to The Ivy again.

After reading the reviews on hear I was just looking forward to a nice meal. The service was lovely & polite but we had such a long wait for the food to come & once got to us the meal didn't look that appetising I would say it had been over cooked & lost most of its flavour. It's said to say but it was a very disappointing meal.

After a meeting in Walsall ... a colleague recommended we go to The Ivy House for lunch.
A proper ... traditional pub which, it seems, by serving good beers and offering an excellent and varied menu has bucked the trend and proved that pubs can survive.
I had the home made burgerl, chips etc
Others had steak pie, fish and chips and some sort of duck / noodle affair which I tasted and will have next time.
All meals were faultless and the young man running the bar and taking orders was professional, polite and entertaining. (love the fact he has to hold the card reader up in the air to get a signal ... "who worked that out ? " he asked me

We had a great night out here recently with friends. There were guest ales on which were very enjoyable and the meal we had in the restaurant was truly delicious. It's a great place to socialise and whilst not the cheapest place, it certainly didn't break the bank.
We will definately be returning.
