    For Canterbury I thought it was a welcoming change from typical average food. People really do not mind paying thzt little bit more for food if the service and menu and clientele are all there. I would happily come again, in fact I think my wife is booking for this weekend. Booking online very simple and reliable Enjoy 😁

    Thank you to the Ivy Canterbury for making my Birthday meal a lovely experience. The staff were so nice, very professional and fun. The food fish and chips and a starter of the most fantastic bread, a whole loaf of salted sour dough was amazing. Our desert of a chocolate bomb was the best desert I’d ever eaten. I was also treated to a complementary profiterole. We are looking forward to coming back. Thanks again

    As you would expect the food and service was very good but the closeness of the tables was akin to a sardine can and the noise was horrific, we couldn’t hear one another across the table. Perhaps a few less tables and more soft furnishing will lessen over crowding and especially the level of noise. We will not return until these basic problems are overcome. It’s a shame.
