    Food lovely Staff lovely Tables very small so difficult to fit plates/ drinks on. Tables very close together… rammed in….. quite claustrophobic tbh but great if you like to hear what the table next to you is saying! Incredibly loud!!

    Ate from the festive menu. Good choices. A la carte menu also very nice. Very busy being just after Christmas but service very friendly. Prefer this Ivy to our more local establishment. Good location in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

    Overall it was very nice but we didn’t understand why the waiter told us we couldn’t have the champagne that we had selected to have with our afternoon tea and could only have Prosecco. It was an option on the menu however, they were unable to serve it to us. The waiter mumbled something, we thought he said they couldn’t open a whole bottle of champagne for two glasses.
