Hallow Restaurants

First class food and service as usual. We always love coming to Crown and Sandys, always a treat

A good friend travelled many miles to meet me. I chose the Ivy as I have been going there ever since it opened in Birmingham and eat in the many Ivy restaurants in London and elsewhere. I trust the menu and the wine list. Today the only things that went wrong were a polite request for the table I usually get or the second best table ( in my opinion). Yet having booked several weeks ago both were taken. When were they booked? Secondly the double espresso arrived cold. It was unlike the Ivy to do that. I have known all the previous managers but not the present one. I must introduce myself at my next visit.

Regular visitoirs to the Swan at Whittington and this was as good as usual. The place is a nice gentle place for a quiet lunch with friends. Staff as alwqys were kind and pleasant. Food was good although we both had the Caesar Salad and it was a bit 'thrown together' - the look of the food was maybe not to the usual high standards but we saw the food brought to tables either side of us and it looked fantastic!

Four of us had lunch today. We ate from the main and set menus. Nice table location in the restaurant with plenty of space. Great food….the chef made a “special” Beef Wellington without the Parma ham for my wife who has a severe pork allergy. All the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Great service from the waiting staff…..and a fantastic choice of guest beers! Thoroughly recommend this wonderful gastro pub

We visited on a Monday lunchtime to celebrate a birthday so it was fairly quiet and all aspects of our visit were fabulous. What a wonderful venue the Cheltenham Ivy is, can’t wait to go again!
