Ivy's Cafe in East Staffordshire

Fried zucchini were really good. The squid not that great.I had a fishcake which was also ok. The Rum Baba a bit dry but the taste was still good

Went here for lunch for the first time. Parking isn't great as its one of those phone app meters. Annoying! The parking area outside is also quite small so it was lucky that we got a spot. I can imagine at busy times, it would be hell to find parking. The restaurant is quite snug inside and we were given seating that was far too close to a noisy group of 4 so my friend promptly suggested a move to a better table. The starters and main were delicious and the service from the staff, excellent; they were very attentive and uber friendly. I will definitely visit again.

Celebrated my birthday there with lunch and cocktails. The service is outstanding and the food and drinks are delicious. I reccomend the prawn cocktail

Yummy comfort food and something for everyone. Nice cosy atmosphere with friendly staff. Beautiful interior decor. Also, serves vegan afternoon but you need to call in advance to book and request. Recommend trying out the afternoon with some friends.

Great evening spot for dinner with family and loved ones. To start I thought this restaurant was going to be a disappointment, the entrance host had a capricious persona and did not make us feel welcome. However this was turned around by the waitress and supervisor who were fab! The interior of this restaurant is very nice, the seating and tables are very comfortable and presented well. We had 45 minutes to eat and go, the waitress helped advise what was good etc. Food came out in under 15 minutes. The squid was very tasty. I went safe and ordered fish and chips, the batter on the fish was light and crispy, chips were soft inside and crispy outside. The meal hit the right spot, an excellent experience leaving us wanting to come back very soon.

Food was delicious, service was outstanding. The only issue I found was it was too crammed. I've been to other Ivy Cafe's and this just felt like there were too many tables in the small space.

Very delicious, beautiful ambiance. Special treat for my birthday breakfast. Seemed rather busy which flustered the staff slightly

My wife brought me here for my birthday brunch and it was a fun meal overall. Food was good, restaurant is well decorated and fun but the service is seriously lacking. Snobby waiters forgetting that service can make or break a meal and need training on how to serve correctly, I definitely expected more from an Ivy. We also had to wait a long time for everything we ordered whilst tables were served quicker that order after us. As a result our food was often colder than it was meant to be.We had the Crispy Duck Salad which was extremely tasty and packed with flavour but maybe a tad over cooked, a few pieces of duck went past crispy to hard.My wife had the tempura prawns but they arrived very wet and soggy, not crisp like tempura is meant to be. They were tasty but would have been more enjoyable if hot and crisp.For our mains we had the Blackened Cod and Eggs royale with chips. My eggs royale was very tasty and the eggs were spot on, and the chips were good. My wife's blackened cod wasn't really blackened cod. It was closer to cod in a teryaki sauce! Very disappointed in that dish.Overall I won't be back due to poor service and long wait times but the food was good. Next time I'll try the Ivy in Canary Wharf as I've heard better things.

Incredible food with a wide menu to choose from. Great cocktails. Beautiful setting with wonderful service. Couldn't fault a thing and will definitely be back.

The food was nice, however what let me down was the forgetfulness with the service. They forgot my brothers Gin and tonic as well as the 2 orders of chips we ordered with our mains. My husband ended up just eating the blackened cod on its own which resulted in us having to buy more food elsewhere. The best part of the experience was the roasted scallops at the start of the meal.
