Bistro - Carta

Both Chicken Burger Meal and Beef Burger Meal were budget quality left disappointed and would not return if such a simple meal was hard to do. Good atmosphere in bar however.

My wife and my sister booked Sunday lunch here ,we were ver disappointed in the general service ,the food when it did arrive was not to bad the staff did not seem very interested in asking if we had any complaints .We felt as if they did not care we will not be returning to this bistro

Having decided to go out for a last minute tea we rang the Ivanhoe who were able to accommodate us. Although the bistro was very busy we were welcomed by a very nice waitress and shown to our table and we ordered our meal which arrived beautifully presented and served by excellent staff, it was delicious and would have no hesitation in recommending this place for food and service.

Been regular diners here for a long time and it was always a good experience until last Friday 04/11/ 22 ordered the roast beef which was usually 2 to 3 slices and very nice but this time it was only about one slice that arrived shredded very very dissatisfied and when your spending between £70 to £100 per visit it just isn’t value for money so we will not be returning anytime soon Regards Audrey and Ray Turner

Just had lunch in the Ivanhoe had an open prawn sandwich with avocado for £11.95. This was a complete rip off for the price. Small half avocado which was over ripe and an average open prawn sandwich. The plate was dominated with a tasteless salad. For the price I expected something that was fresh, flavoursome and more sophisticated. When my friend suggested the Ivanhoe I was underwhelmed. The next time I will say no way.

Today Sunday 20th feb my wife and daughter with her two children and a friend decided to have dinner at this bistro, after asking for a table for three adults, and two children, wife early 60’s, daughter early 30’s and two boys 4 and 7 , the greeter? This man looked my wife and daughter and children up and down and said we are fully booked, there were empty tables! It seems only certain people are allowed to eat in this bistro! Remember people asking locals to support local eateries…..avoid like Covid! Ver carta

Booked a table for seven when we got seated only half of the group were giving menus. After managing to stop a member of staff to order we had to wait 35mins on our food, after 25mins waiting I asked a male member of staff when will the food be served, he walked up to the chefs and said table etc want to know what's keeping there food, then I got told it would be next, when desert's got served we all sat with no spoons and had to walk up to the kitchen counter and lift them ourselves, the looks we got from staff were disgraceful not even a thankyou when walking out.

I live local to the Ivanhoe but hadn’t visited for a long time as previously had a disappointing meal a number of years back. Had heard good reports so decided to book a family lunch. Was welcomed by very friendly staff and the restaurant had a lovely open atmosphere. Nice traditional menu with a good selection of dishes. Also a good selection of Vegan options. The portion sizes are rather large. Not a major issue to be honest but most of our party struggled to finish their plates!! Deserts were really good too! All in all a lovely family meal and reasonably priced compared to some of the other restaurants in the locality at £105 for a party of 5. Will definitely be back!

Now known simply as the Grill and Bar after the Ivanhoe's 2015 refurbishment, we recently called in on our first visit to the Ivanhoe in a couple of years. The bright restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived for a late breakfast, with only two or three other tables still being occupied, and we were shown to a table immediately on arriving. The breakfast menu offers a good range of options from cereals up to the full Irish breakfast (Ulster fry) and both the full Irish breakfast and French toast with bacon that we chose were well prepared and very filling and washed down by a couple of cups of excellent coffee. The service was also very good and the prices very reasonable for the area d... Ver carta
