We've visited this fantastic pub many times now, most recently for my Mum's birthday. We had 4 different starters, 4 different mains and 4 different desserts and couldn't fault a thing. Beautiful food served piping hot and very well presented at good prices. The place was packed but we didn't wait long for food, the service was superb. The landlady is always friendly and welcoming and makes sure everyone is well looked after. This is far and away the best pub in the area and it's a shame that a couple of petty minded people have decided to ruin the reputation and business of a hard working landlady who puts a huge amount of time and effort into making sure her customers are happy and comfortable. Luckily most TripAdvisor users are intelligent enough to understand that they should judge for themselves as business owners can't really defend themselves other than leaving a response to spiteful reviews.

My husband and I visited The Ivy House on a Sunday for a roast lunch. Served by a miserable middle aged lady who took our order. The food arrived with a tiny amount of gravy so we asked a waitress for more which she quickley did, lovely and polite. The meal reminded me of a "school dinner" tasteless and small. We noticed how the lady who took our order, talked to the bar staff, which was quite rude and we felt sorry for them as they were friendly and chatty when they served us with our drinks. Its was our 2nd visit but will not be returning.

Visited on a last minute whim on Wednesday evening and as normal had a fantastic meal. Piri Piri chicken is to die for..... not the usual overcooked chuck with fiery sauce but a tender half chicken with a sensational seasoning.
Boondoggle at its best and a tasty cheese board to finish.
Top marks to Martin and the team!

We visited on a Sunday for lunch with the family. There was a large christening on at the time but they didn't let us down on service or quality of food we had pre booked as it was a Sunday so we didn't have to find a table but if we hadn't they would of found us one. It was a lovely atmosphere the food was fantastic much better than a chain pub Sunday meal, it was proper home cooked food. We will defiantly be returning!

This old pub was a wonderful find at the end of a long day searching graveyards for my ancestors. The staff were lovely and the food brilliant (apart from the steak!).
So good we went back again the next day before heading back to London. Great food, staff and atmosphere.

We visited this venue mid afternoon. There were about 10 others in various rooms of the pub, and we were sat in what appeared to be the dining room with lovely window views over open country. There was a good selection of real ales on sale, as well as the usual lagers, ciders, wines and soft drinks.
There is a lunchtime menu with lighter bites, and the full menu, choices can be made from either. There were not many starters to choose from so we went straight onto the main course. Staff were very pleasent and helpful, and when I ordered my wifes ribeye steak medium rare, I was told that the kitchen advised that it be served medium as it enhance the flavour and texture. When the steak was served it proved the kitchen were correct. It was juicy and tasty, and nothing was left. I had lagsagnie which was obviously home made and full of taste and flavour. Deserts were ordered and enjoyed.
On the whole a very pleasent dining experience. Nothing was rushed and staff were always close at hand without being overpowering. We will definately visit again.
