Ivy House in South Staffordshire

They organised a beautiful hot and cold buffet for my Father's wake. Tina was wonderful, she made organising everything so easy. The setting is stunning with beautiful views over the fields. Excellent food quality, fantastic service from girls in the bar and restaurant, they really helped to bring some joy to a very sad day. We can't recommend this place enough. Thank you ❤️

First time here , went for Sunday lunch will definitely be going back it was stunning .

Regular meal out for us here, just a really nice place with excellent food at a good price. Hassan and the rest of the staff always make us feel welcome and looked after with fantastic service as well.

That's got to be the best fish and chips I have had besides at the sea side 😋

Went for a lite bite Thursday not impressed after ordering cod chips and peas was informed they were fries not chips 😞 so reordered lasagne and garlic bread so disappointed the tiniest lasagne and 2 small pieces of bread then my friends meal came out with cheese and potato pie and chips when I said about the chips the waiter said they are fries😳which would have been on my first order🙄he did bring me a dish to make up for the mistake maybe retrain him then onto dessert small slice of dry brownie wont be revisting first and last time

Absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend staff were kind friendly food was delicious Thank you ❤️

Very nice Food and service first time going since new ownership definitely will return and recommend for others to try it too.

Went for lunch after work had the giant Yorkshire with sausages and mash and peas and gravy,it was amazing not tight on the portion size at all and was really tasty,washed down with a pint.Service was great and I didn't have to wait long at all for my meal.Great work guys keep it up 👍

Had a great meal with my partner. Food was absolutely delicious

This was quite a quaint little place for a meal as we were staying in Walsall. Very cosy food was good, nice friendly service. Not expensive.

Food was good, had completely run out of the on tap cocktails, and in view of pre booked special occasion this was poor. Also the staff had no personality at all, and really felt they didn't want to be there, which was a shame as this could have been a 5 star otherwise There were 13 of us, and spent well, but may not revisit due to miserable staff.

We ate early and the dining room was very quiet, We were welcomed and shown to our reserved table by a friendly polite waitress , our food , chosen from the English menu was served quickly and we both commented that it was delicious, (new jersey chicken with homemade fries,) all together a very pleasant dining experience .

This place I'd say was average as food was plentiful; though not the best of quality & incorrect order. The spinach/ricotta cannelloni was greasy; though came with lil salad and garlic bread for £11.99. The feta/beetroot tortellini with no garlic bread nor salad would have been £12.99?? Why?? The beef/bacon burger which was supposed to be bacon/cheese- burger was plenty tall, but onion rings were pale and gooey. It did come with salad £12.99. My latte was small and £3.25. The cider was £5.60. Our wait was overly excessive especially since there was few guests. My drink was done long before food arrived; and there were no syrups for hot beverages. The tables were clean, but chairs and benches were stained and crumb -laden. We probably wouldn't choose a repeat visit sadly. It was £33.83.

Who puts Couscous and Red & Yellow Peppers with a Sunday Dinner. Wish i could have rated it lower

Great choice of both English and Indian food. Good sized portions.

Amazing food, we ordered from the curry menu, absolutely beautiful chicken, great pub, will definitely be going again 👌

The hubby surprised me with lunch in here, we had starters and then scampi and the mushroom risotto. The starters were a tiny portion and when we queried it with the waitress they had thought we were having the specials lunch (although we specifically ordered of the main menu) The waitress did apologise and we got an extra portion with the mains ! When the mains arrived ( bearing in mind you have to pay an extra £1.99 if you want homemade chips not frozen) it was ok-see pictures, the scampi was just a frozen scampi nothing amazing nothing terrible. BUT the mushroom risotto was not good at all it tasted like boiled rice with a tin of condensed mushroom soup in, it was grey and the mushrooms were non existent. I ate some of it as it was so expensive but it wouldn’t be something I would recommend.

Visit this pub/restaurant it has a friendly atmosphere . service, which was good. We had curry, which was very good made for the English pallette, the price was reasonable

Brilliant atmosphere great service highly recommended

Hardly any staff so had long waiting times even though hardly any customers. Food was great and portions were big.

Outstanding service and food. Booked for a wake for 28 people, all 3 courses served quickly. Food was hot, good portion size and all guests compliment their meals. Hight recommended

Thanks for the superb sandwiches,hot food tea coffee you laid on for our much loved Aunties funeral wake.

This pub is everything a pub should be. The staff are friendly and the food is excellent. The curries are on par with the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Last night my husband and I decided on steak for a change. It was as good if not better than Miller and Carter. Their chunky home cooked chips are amazing!

One of our favourite places to visit. Staff are warm, welcoming, food is really good. Nice place to go and hang out. Drinks, food, entertainment some nights. Popular.

Spur of the moment decision to go out for tea , phoned the pub and got a table reservation for myself , my hubby and my daughter. When we got there was shown to our table the waiter came over and took our drinks order. Then he came back and took our food order , I had a chicken pakora starter and they was the best I have tasted the flavour was delicious and piping hot , the mains then came out I had chicken tikka massala , chips , naan bread and my hubby had the tandoori mixed grill with massala chips , daughter just had Cheesy chips and cheesy garlic bread . The food was piping hot and delicious the chips are homemade not frozen total bill was £63 for 3 of us including drinks will definitely go here again and try something else

Lovely food,, great lunchtime menu at a fab price, waitress was lovely and friendly,, will definitely return

Only popped in for a Sunday afternoon drink but plenty of parking and seating in the bar. We got served quickly

Nice local pub with friendly staff. Just drinks on this occasion, but has a good range of food choices at reasonable prices.

Christmas lunch absolutely outstanding.

Very friendly and dogs allowed. Sizzler brilliant but prawn starter disappointing. Would visit again

Food is lovely-staff very friendly-we always enjoy our meals.

5 of us came tonight roast dinner beef was so nice best we had out in long time nice hot beef cooked just right staff made us wecome and smile all the time we will be back

We had a fantastic meal from the Indian menu, we had a table for four people, staff were very welcoming as always, especially Sam, India and Grace, would recommend lunch and evening menu's

Good friendly service, good food and cheap as chips.

We heard it was taken over so thought we would try it again. Glad we did the atmosphere was good and it was lovely and warm in there. We had the Sunday roast and was not disappointed. I had Turkey and the others had Beef and we all enjoyed the meal. Service was good and food was hot didnt keep us waiting for to long. We will definitely go back so glad we decided to go back now theres new owners.

Christmas party for large number of people. Food and service excellent, thank Sammi for ensuring all food choices were correct. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves

Indian food was best I have had in a long while.

Great Indian food with good service and a nice atmosphere fast becoming my go to place on Fridays after work to start the weekend.

Amazing place, nice food and the thatchers is always good their. Nice traditional pub

Not as good when Hilary was in charge

November 2022. A group of 15 us had lunch today, sent our food choices previously, all good, came out hot, well cooked and together, can't fault it. Nice staff. Lovely local pub. November 2023 update, another big group lunch today, orders sent in before day. After waiting for a latecomer for a good while all meals came out quickly and hot, waitress was friendly and there was no rush for us to eat quickly even though we'd started later than planned. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, I personally would have had my liver cooked for less time and some pieces were rather hard, but it was tasty with lovely onion gravy and mash. My apple pie and cream was delicious. Unfortunately, the brownie ordered by a friend was very hard, maybe, as the waitress explained because they were gluten free or because it had cooled while waiting for extra custard, or just overcooked, I'm not sure. Overall, a nice lunch out in good company.

Have been going here for a while...its changed hands...I asked for a child's Sunday lunch as I don't have a big appetite..was refused said only for under 16s!!! So had the adults and left half ..what a waste...no atmosphere..only one person working as the girls were busy putting up Christmas decorations...don't think I'll be going again..

First time here and was dubious regarding the extensive menu but I was not disappointed, the food was faultless and tasty, the service, exceptional. Will be back soon

My first time here I attended a wake it's a nice place thanks for looking after us all

Excellent food. Menu is extensive. We have tried the superb Indian food and the traditional English food. They are always freshly prepared with fresh ingredients and piping hot. The staff are lovely, very friendly and happy to help. They do different deals on different nights, so it’s worth checking them out before you book. Highly recommend.

A really lovely evening at the New Ivy House. Despite living close we had never been here before, but we’ll definitely be going again. The food was really good and the service friendly. We didn’t feel rushed and were able to enjoy the atmosphere.

I am Coeliac, I specifically called to check that Gluten Free chips were going to be available, as even though advertised they were not available on a previous visit. So tonight I ordered the chips and was advised that the fryer might have been used for gluten containing foods. This is just unacceptable, surely the fryer should be labelled appropriately. I do wonder if all other precautions are followed for allergies in general. So I will not be visiting again as it spoiled my night, my meal was not nice with bland rice 😡

Lovely little pub, friendly staff and the food is beautiful - really reasonable price too for the quality of the food

Went in at lunch time, served quickly, food was beautiful, we had the 2 course for £9.99 good value, Demi served us and was lovely and very polite, got the little one crayon’s to colour while we waited.

Still Delicious food and such a friendly atmosphere, ill definitely return as soon as I can, many thanks to Demi looking after us, it made it even more lovely

Dropped in Thursday lunch time. Got a table and bought the menus. A nice varied menu. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The food came, piping hot was lovely cooked and presented well. Will definitely be returning

The portions are large, this is the place to eat if you have a good appetite. I had the pork belly it was slightly over cooked but still very good, my wife had a beef sizzler which was also very good. The staff were all very attentive especially Grace.

Tasty!!Me and my partner went for the Indian menu,we had the sharing platter,and wow it was amazing the food was cooked fresh it was hot and probably one of the best Indians round and the price only £19.95 and we was full.Shame no room for dessert as they looked really tasty,.Staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely be back 👍

Nice food, but the layout of the pub is not great and has a very low ceiling in the bar. Not great for tall people

Great food and great views of the farmers fields. You may get lucky if the cows come to say hello

Haven’t been here in a while, but it was just as lovely as before. Tina and her staff are always friendly, and food and drinks are spot on. We won’t be leaving it so long till we visit again. Thanks for a lovely night! 😁

Great food at a good price in a very pleasant beer garden on a warm late summer night

To rowdy, expected better food.

Shame because I’ve heard good reviews.☹️

Bland tasteless food. Beef Sunday lunch. Roast potatoes and stuffing definitely from the freezer. Veg undercooked. Gravy tasteless. Would not recommend to anyone.

Good food and good service. Look after well.

Belly pork was amazing the biggest peace of pork I've ever had cooked to perfection 🥰 wife had surf and turf huge meal for the money 💰 steak was cooked blue how she liked 👍

We have visited the New Ivy several times with my father-in-law, who is a resident in the care home across the road. Today we took him to celebrate his 94th birthday. The two members of staff on duty treated him like royalty, and made sure he had a wonderful time. The food was great, and very reasonably priced. We took a cake, and the staff provided candles and sparklers to accompany it. He was very moved when everyone sang ‘happy birthday’ to him. A huge ‘thank you’ and well done!

This is our second time doing the bottomless brunch here and it’s unbeatable great food (lots of it) and constant flow of drinks. If you are lucky enough to be there when Sam is working even better!

Absolutely beautiful meal, table of 4 and we all enjoyed our meal. Friendly staff and very accommodating.

Having been a loyal customer of the Ivy House for many years and recommended it on many occasions I must be honest about my visit on 14th July. Service and greeting by lovely girls was as always faultless but my menu choice was beyond shocking! 'Black Country Stack' costing £12... returned twice and eventually deducted from my bill. Burnt to a cinder. Completely inedible! I have read it is under new management?? If this be the case the skills of the chef cooking very, very basic food is questionable!!! The waitresses couldn't apologise enough and I feel were embarrassed. I have given one star for food as it isn't possible to score no stars. I'm not sure if I'll return to what I've always considered my 'local gem'.

We recently had my dads wake at this venue and was really disappointed the staff where not friendly or had no empathy considering we had just come back from my dad's funeral. The food was also disappointing it had been left out all day uncovered and there was no utensils to pick the food up this was off putting as people where using there hands to pick the food up which is very unhygienic. Unfortunately due to this we will not be recommending or returning here. This is not what we expected from this venue especially for such a sad event.

Didn't try food but have to say this place has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly, prices are very competitive.

Just come back from Sunday lunch. We ordered 1 Turkey, 1 Beef and 1 Cumbernauld Sausage the veg was sent back twice as it was too hard to chew. No taste very bland and all in all very disappointing. Will not be returning and will certainly not be recommending. On our way out we were stopped by an elderly couple who said they had been going for lunch for over 30 years and they were also discussed with the food that was being served.

Great range of options across two menus which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

The last time we went was January, we have been going for a lot of years but no more !!!!! The service was appalling,like a big black cloud hanging over the restaurant, we were shouted that our table was in the window,no smile no show you tothe table that was the manager, the girl who took the order was the same awful. None of the old staff were there. The food was ok hence 2 stars. A lovely pub ruined by the staff!!!!

Dreadful time there yesterday 3 hrs and only had starter, was so disappointed we left, never had main. Spent a lot on alcohol while waiting, service and apology pathetic.

Average service from manager with short bob (Tina). Girl with blonde hair was good however, food was average. I had curry and there was so much oil in it? Used to like it here. Glasses were dirty also.

Great indoor and outdoor space. Drinks reasonable price. Food was great and quick. We had the litebites and they were good value. Eaten there before and food has always been good.

Was invited by friends to have a curry together. Beautiful pub, friendly staff that were very welcoming and helped brilliantly with my disabilities. The food is fantastic so highly recommended. Thank you to Brooke and all ! 10/10 A☆ Plenty.of car spaces.and large relaxing beer garden

Haven't eaten here so can't give any rating sat outside seems good only time will tell

We had a nice evening, the food was good, the pub was nice, the team were great. Would recommend.

Great food and service. Good selection of menu. Friendly atmosphere

The worst bottomless brunch. Food took over an hour, was burnt and cold (even though plates were hot). Drinks were few and far between considering it was bottomless. They’d bring us “jugs” of drink for 5 people that would have like 2 drinks worth in. Dessert never arrived. Was a terrible atmosphere. Would not recommend. Dreadful!

Decent meal and reasonably priced. Would recommend for pub lunch. Beer garden was also nice.

A real hidden gem, beautiful old building and a great view of the countryside from their beer garden

Great food and very friendly staff all round

Food was great, staff very friendly and a lovely place to go for lunch. Will definitely be going back again

Grate place excellent staff and excellent food had a great time will be back

I visited yesterday with my wife and mother in law. The first visit since becoming a Viks Restaurant pub. We won't go again. Firstly there was no red wine. The manageres in the restaurant thought they had just one glass but no bottles. A pub/restaurant with no red wine? The lasagne was poor, the chicken tagliatelle was tasteless and dry. My piri piri chicken was OK but the rice and chips arrived several minutes before the chicken. The chip fat also needed changing. Although they removed the tagliatelle off the bill the £22 bottle of prosecco was excessive. The only good part was the young waitress who did her best under difficult circumstances.

If I could give it nil I would, first time we have been back to this pub restaurant since we held my Dad’s wake. Mom asked to go so tried using the on line booking system this should have rang the warning bell when I could not book and had to phone through. To begin with was welcome well but then it was down hill from there, ordering drinks no red wine in the place could possibly squeeze a small glass but not a bottle to share, so after debate ended up with a bottle of procesco . Meal ordered and considering we were the only people in the place took a while coming Mom’s and mine appeared and half of my husbands the rest took awhile in arriving. Mom struggled with the lasagna mine was so bad I hardly touch it the chicken was dry the carbonara sauce had no taste and the chips needed the oil changing. Will never be going back to this restaurant ever!

Poor service, food could be a lot better.

Love it such friendly peoe and food is good

Great food staff were very helpful and friendly would definitely go back again.

Tables are very close together, staff are great, food.. large potions but not the best quality

Lovely welcome, food was very good. Not rushed

Not a lot on the menu. What came out was mediocre. Unenthusiastic staff that just couldn't be bothered. Avoid.

Great staff but beer and food a little bit lacking.

Good food, good service in delightful surroundings.

Went for lunch here with friends. Plenty of choice at a very good price. I had one of the best prawn and salmon salads that I've ever tasted. So many prawns and slices of salmon on a mass of mixed salad and topped off with Marie Rose sauce.

A friend and I visited The New Ivy House for a Bottomless Brunch after seeing a post about it on Instagram. We had the best time. The food was nice, the cocktails were great, and the service was brilliant. Big thanks to Sam and Kieston who looked after us, they really made our time there special. After our bottomless brunch finished we stayed a few more hours and had a few more drinks. Lovely place, and looking forward to coming back.

Great 3 course meal at a really great price. Always enjoy going to the Ivy House. Staff excellent! Thank you

Lovely food and atmosphere, but unfortunately un experienced and rude staff. We went for bottomless brunch which is 90mins. We arrived at 3pm and was asked if we wanted a drink at 4.15pm, one of us finished our drink at 4.25pm and asked for another within our 90 mins. When we went to pay for the bill the drink that was ordered at 4.25pm was added onto the bill instead of put in the bottomless brunch deal. We questioned this to be told it was after our 90mins. Then to be told to just pay for the bill and not come back. We then spoke to the lady more to then be told that we should of been informed that we should have ordered our drinks 15 mins before the time ended. We was also told we can't swap soda for lemonade during our 90 mins, to then be told we can as soft drinks are included. We got alot of mixed signals and communication from different staff. To be told by the lady that took our bill that we were the 2nd bottomless brunch that the girls have done on the new menu so they were unaware of what they can and can't change. She kept talking about a staff chat - of which of course we see not involved in so we wouldn't know the information unless they told us at the start of our bottomless brunch. I think the way we were spoken to was not professional.

Used to use this a lot hadn't been for ages...don't think I'll be going again...my fault should have said something at the time..had Sunday lunch yesterday..meat wasnot worth eating...the dessert was cold although I specifically said "hot"please as in put it in microwave a few more seconds.....hardly anyone in the restaurant although bar was busy.....won't be frequenting this public house again...on a better note the staff....young girls were fabulous!!!credit to the place ...keep up the good work girls you deserve the tips ....

Fantastic food as always and good value for money 😁
