Best Gastro Pubs in Norton Canes

This is my favourite place to eat. It was a cold Saturday afternoon and not only was the central heating on but the log fire burned steadily. It was a delight. The food and service were, as always, excellent. We all had the monkfish curry which was delicious.

We, as a couple, went there for the first time together with a group of around 20 friends a couple of weeks ago. Having not been there before , I looked at reviews on TripAdvisor & in all honesty, from a lot of the negative reviews I had read, I made my mind up not to join the rest of the group for the occasion. I then pondered over it for a while & changed my mind. I'm so glad I did because from my experience having gone there that night, the negative reviews I had read couldn't be further from the truth. The food & service we received was next to none. After enjoying a fantastic night with the group, we decided to go there again for Valentines night for another meal just as a couple. I only booked the table the previous night & was surprised there was availability. When we arrived it turned out someone else had been given our table. We were politely asked to go & get a drink so the staff could sort it out. We must have been at the bar for literally less than one minute when a staff member came & told us they had sorted out a table. Considering it was a busy night & the fact we had only booked a table but not any food, from ordering the food to it being served only took about 30 or 35 minutes which was far quicker than we expected. In our opinion & from both the experiences we have now had at the Ivy House, I really cannot see how anyone could complain or leave a negative review. The staff are kind & friendly & go out of their way to make sure your night is what you're expecting it to be. The food is delicious & we will definitely be returning regularly. Absolutely spot on! Credit to all of you & thank you for making both of our visits virtually faultless

My wife and I had a superb meal, celebrating her birthday. The food was sublime, service prompt and pleasant and the general ambience was lovely. We were so impressed that we booked in for Sunday lunch before we left. Highly recommend a visit to this lovely place.

Excellent all round. Very cosy atmosphere and we weren’t rushed even though we ended up staying for almost 3 hours! Only one comment - please serve the hot drinks hotter!

friendly staff food brought out quickly and hot and very good value
