Best British Restaurants in Peacehaven

Exceptional service and food quality. Thank you team.

As always a pleasure to dine at The Ivy, first time at the Brighton restaurant. A lovely experience very attentive service and excellent food, buzzy atmosphere but not too loud for conversation. Would definitely go again.

We were 5 of us to celebrate our sons 18th birthday. We had a table booked for 1.30pm. The initial service was good and our wine and drinks and first course were brought very quickly. There was then a very long delay for our main courses. (Our waitress said there was a very large party upstairs) This is not our problem and the Ivy should have taken on more staff for the day to cope. Eventually our food turned up and 2 out of 5 dishes were like warm. My fish cake with egg was really cold. We did not send the dishes back as we were hungry and didn’t want to ruin the meal! We didn’t have dessert or coffee as our enjoyment of the occasion had been spoiled. The Ivy could do better.

We had to wait to be seated as we were told that our table was ready but then advised it was given to someone else and it would be a couple of minutes. That was not true and we had to enquire if the table was then ready, to which we were seated immediately. Although we were having the set Christmas menu we were also not offered a drinks menu, we had to pull this up via our phones. The server we finally had was nice, but we had to ask to do the Cluedo activity but he was attentive when serving the food. Normally it’s been really great here but the seating and no drinks menu was not the best experience.

Food was served quickly, lovely and hot. Sadly they had run out of Sunday Roasts in the evening when we arrived but selection on menu was good. Great they serve food until 10pm. We joined in the pub quiz which was good fun too.
