Ivy House Restaurant in Doncaster

We decided to book the restaurant on the back of the excellent reviews. Before visiting the restaurant I also had a look at the menus & they seemed really appealing. We had the prawn skewers & ham terrine for starters , and we both had the “special “ of the lamb curry at £26.50. The ham hock terrine was nice, but the prawn starter was £10 for 5 prawns on a slice of naan bread with a few accompaniments. I tasted a prawn & in my opinion they were just ok, nothing great. When we tasted the lamb in the curry, it was not at all tender like you would expect. The accompanying relishes were a tiny ( ie approx 1/2 teaspoon ) of lime pickle , some mango chutney , rice, naan & pappadom. It wasn’t the prices so much, as being in the Lake District we expected this given the inflated prices usually experienced. For me it was the “ordinary” quality of the food. The quality was nothing special that would make me want to return. I of course cannot be sure, but for example in my view, the naan breads were too uniform in size , texture & taste, making me wonder about their origin ( shop bought vs made In House ?, I will never know ). And yes, the curry came with , for example , lime pickle, but the portion was so small, it felt meaningless. I am respectful of others opinions within the reviews on this site, but I will not be returning.

A return visit as we were staying locally. We enjoyed our starters and mains - mackerel, goats cheese, then rack of lamb and chicken curry. The curry was especially tasty! Service good. We thought that an improvement would be to add more veg with both starters and mains but I'd still give it 5 stars as it's always a pleasure to eat here.

Friendly and welcoming pub. Staff offered very good service and served enjoyable food. So good that we came back on our return stop over.

Couple having dinner on holiday. Odd experience really - likeable atmosphere for a hotel (which we were not staying at). Interesting menu. Mackerel starters fine - pretty enormous for starters but guess some people will like that. My special of chicken curry was really very good - interesting flavours and satisfyingly murky sauces - and I suspect an ex-Indian restaurant chef involved, especially as the other special was lamb curry. But my partner’s lamb, nicely pink as requested, had thick layers of fat that cried out to be rendered properly. She told the absolutely charming waitress who wanted to help but clearly didn’t understand the problem. It went back to the kitchen and came back with the whole meal steaming hot and obviously microwaved. She left it pretty much uneaten and we were not charged for it. But that doesn’t help if you’re hungry! Anyway, decent cheeseboard and dessert wine. What absolutely did not help was the muzak on a 5 minute loop that drove us slightly crazy by the end of the night. So all in all a nearly OK place - and brilliant for a curry! £110 for two inc drinks and service. Lovely waitress.

The location was great, just a short walk from our accommodation. The dining room was pleasantly set up. The lady serving was very efficient and friendly but the food was a total disappointment. Maybe I was unlucky in my choice, but the Lentil Sambar was simply not restaurant quality food. This should be a tasty dish but the flavour was very thin, undeveloped and totally lacking in any interest. Potato, carrot and white rice made for a very unsatisfying meal.

Wij waren op een zondagavond daar en er waren 4 tafels bezet, ongeveer 10 personen. Dat vonden wij zeer weinig. We aten lamsrack 2 bones en kregen inderdaad 2 lamskoteletjes. Die waren lekker maar de broccoli was koud. Toen we dit zegden bracht men warme broccoli. We vonden de prijs te hoog voor de 2 stukjes lams die we kregen. Bediening was onpersoonlijk en was niet aanwezig in het restaurant. We hebben betaald en zijn buiten gegaan zonder dat we iemand gezien hebben. We gaan zeker niet meer terug.

Visited here whilst staying in Braithwaite. We were impressed by the beautifully decorated restaurant (which was full) and the food was super ! Hubby had lamb and I had sea bass. Service was quick and the staff were lovely . It’s not cheap but would go back - highly recommend

Had a fabulous meal here. The service was impeccable from Start to finish . Good menu options and great ambiance. Will definitely return

First class food with friendly excellent staff. Relaxed atmosphere within the Holiday Property Bond premises. We will return.

Came here for a meal with my wife while on a weekend break to the Lakes, having tried (and failed) to get a meal in 4 consecutive pubs! Ambience is lovely and relaxed, professionally done but with just the right level of care and attention to detail - we didn't feel harassed or rushed in any way but attention was there when we needed "topping up". The meal was wonderful - my wife ordered a juicy and incredibly cooked steak with fluffy chips and an oozing beef tomato - mouthwatering (we shared half and half of our meals each). The hand-cooked special (chicken keralan) was possibly the most incredible curry I've ever eaten - succulent, full of fresh cardamom pods that popped in the mouth, juicy and thick sauce, with meat meltingly tender, I asked the Waiter to talk me through the preparation and heard a regaling tale of the chef's magic (which I will challenge myself to even attempt to replicate at home). It was good enough to make me ask, because I simply can't accept when I go home that I'll never be able to eat this again. Topped off with the sides (fluffy basmati rice, tangy lemon chutney, hot naan bread and homemade lentil daal) made this an absolute winner. A really wonderful place and an amazing meal, thank you so much Ivy House of Braithwaite. I hope to come back in future as I really enjoyed it.

We visited Ivy House on the last night of our cottage stay in the small village of Braithwaite. The week had been marked by torrential rain and we were feeling rather down. The experience was lovely and just what was needed. Two brilliant waiting staff who showed great care for us as customers. Tasty, freshly cooked and original dishes. We enjoyed vegetable and lentil sambar with pickles and flatbreads, and roasted cauliflower with chimichurri, broad bean puree, asparagus and new potatoes. Neither of us is wholly vegetarian but with cooking like this we could easily be converted. A local cheeseboard and pum and damson sorbet rounded off a delicious meal. The decor (all neutrals) was organic, nurturing and soothing, especially in candlelight. We left feeling considerably more cheerful. Thank you Ivy House 🏠

Very nice food, but pricey, considering the underwhelming serving of accompanying vegetables. Maybe a ploy to encourage diners to opt for starters and deserts. The restaurant has a minimum spend requirement, something we've never seen elsewhere and could discourage older diners with smaller appetites.

This was our second visit and still fantastic. Prices are on the higher side but they are worth it. We enjoyed a bottle of Rioja, steak and the prawn curry special. Lovely, friendly staff xx

Had a great time the food was delicious and the wine was excellent. Its a lovely place with excellent staff we will definitely return. Thanks for a lovely time

This was an excellent experience. The food was brilliant as was the wine. The whole experience was enhanced by a wonderful ambience and excellent service. We liked it so much we have booked for another night.

We normally have Christmas dinner at home, so pleased we decided to have a change. The service was great, food cooked to perfection and best of all no washing up. Well done to all at Ivy House for making our Xmas day very special, hope to see you all soon.

We weren’t staying at the ivy house, however we heard good things about the restaurant so thought we’d give it a go. There’s no parking, however we managed to in the village. Pretty pricey menu although it was to be expected. Was better than most bnb restaurants.

We have been to Ivy House several times this year. We’ve always thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambiance, as have our family and friends. We decided to eat out on Christmas Day for the first time in many years and Ivy House was the choice. We had the most beautiful day. The food was absolutely fabulous, from the canapés right through to the mince pies (of course homemade) served with coffee. The staff are always a joy and the owners are lovely, warm welcoming people. We loved the atmosphere - very Christmassy with everyone having a great time, enjoying high quality food. Our children enjoyed it too! The price was right, we felt it was value for money and are already talking about returning for Christmas Day next year with plenty of visits in-between now and then! Do try Ivy House if you haven’t already. You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I had an excellent meal at the Ivy House whilst staying at the HPB. Food really tasty and friendly service well worth a visit

My husband and I had an excellent dinner here this evening. Friendly, efficient staff, lovely decor and good ambiance. The menu isn’t long but enough to choose from which in my view enables a high quality of cuisine. Fig and blue cheese with honey dressing starter, hake and rack of lamb, all beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Followed by a lovely crumble. Highly recommend a visit. Thank you. Well done all at the Ivy House!

Good menu choice. Beautiful meal and excellent service from friendly staff. Lovely furnishings and decor. Will return.

Absolutely lovely place to eat. Beautiful fresh food, great atmosphere, super friendly and quick service. Our main the lamb was cooked to perfection and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert was to die for. Alwin our server was incredibly accommodating and made the experience. Great place for a date night :-)

Optional 3 course meal in a warm, cosy setting. Had the lamb rack for the main, tender lamb and flavourful veggies. Desert was a hot sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and butterscotch sauce and was fantastic. Very friendly and accomadating staff member called Alwin made our visit memorable. Plently of local beers and ales to try also. All for less cost than you would expect.

First time we had dined at The Ivy House but will not be the last. Like many restaurants these days short menu but nevertheless was still very tempting. Service good despite few waiters. Food well cooked and presented. Tables nicely spaced and on the evening we went felt very calm and relaxed.

I couldn’t rate my experience with this restaurant highly enough The place was lovely…dining room lovely and the service was fantastic..food excellent

Ivy House is one of my favourite places to eat around the Keswick area. Staff are always friendly and there is a warm ambiance in the restaurant and back room. The menu offer s a good choice of mains and the food is cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend Ivy House as a top place to eat in the Lakes.

Had the nicest dinner at this restaurant tonight. Saw the reviews and we were staying locally so we booked in for dinner online. The pictures on trip advisor don’t do this hotel justice. When you enter it feels really cosy. It looks like a nice hotel to stay at and we would definitely consider doing so on our next visit to the Lakes. The food was cooked perfectly. We had the duck and the hake for our main meal with the sour dough bread as a shared starter. All of it was really tasty. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in and surrounding Keswick.

Really lucky we stumbled across this gem after reading reviews! We only had a one night stay in Braithwaite and we couldn't have picked a better evening dinner experience. Beautiful short walk from our hotel (Coledale Inn) but there is a small amount of parking at the front and behind. You'll find IH on a mini one way road just behind where the Royal Oak pub is situated (at the far end of the village). We didn't realise IH is also a hotel - looks stunning and gives the impression of a 5* stay. Our two waiters were extremely attentive and friendly and the food was especially delicious. We had the soup, rump steak and mushroom & asparagus pancake - the sticky toffee pudding is not to be missed either! Yes the bill is pricey but it's matched by the quality of food, ingredients on the menu, atmosphere and service. Will we go back - yes!!

What a wonderful visit. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. The food was amazing. Its not cheap but you get what you pay for. Definitely well worth a visit.

A real surprise in the village of Braithwaite. The menu was not vast, but everything was well presented and very tasty. There were some Asian influences within the menu, which worked really well. We ate at the Ivy house a couple of times during a...

A nice restaurant in Braithwaite village, sometimes difficult to get a table booking here being a hotel. Serves lovely food, though the choice of menu is limited. Very nice staff and atmosphere.

It was a bonus to find a smart restaurant in the small village of Braithwaite as we like to try somewhere a bit more special when we go away. Very attractive exterior and interior. Ate there two nights and enjoyed everything we had. The service...

The dining room is stylish, the service good and the food excellent - and the same price as the pubs in the village, but in a smarter and more spacious dining room.

A very pleasant restaurant in the centre of Braithwaite. Nice atmosphere and excellent food. We had rack of lamb, cooked to perfection.

We were limiting our visits to restaurants/pubs before Christmas so ordered a takeaway from Ivy House. The food was amazing and well packaged in partitioned containers which kept all 3 courses warm. We will definitely eat here properly in the future.

Really lovely meal as non residents and our second visit this year. Wonderful food, definitely ‘fine dining’. We both had Christmas meals. For myself I was very impressed with the gluten free options for my main course vegetarian roast and the delicious Christmas pudding. Such...

We had a very good meal at Ivy House. The meat, in particular, was excellent. The restaurant is in the building used by Holiday Property Bond as a b&b. They are a very discerning company and cloud only associate themselves with good caterers.

We were staying in the village and this was very convenient. Friendly, excellent menu and prepared well. We will re-visit.

Visited this restaurant on saturday night. We were able to make a reservation kind a last minute and we weren't disappointed. Hard to find and not a lot of parking but it's lake district so it's nothing unusual. Great little place. Our food was delicious, reasonably priced. Just right amount of choice on the menu. Local alcohols to choose from. Nice place for romantic night out. Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful place. The staff are just amazing, friendly and very efficient. Well done girls ☺️ The food was just fantastic, starter and mains were beautiful, puddings were also great. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

We booked a table for dinner and were extremely happy with the quality of the food; the staff were equally delightful. We enjoyed it so much we returned a few nights later and were not disappointed. When we next visit Braithwaite, we won’t hesitate to return to this excellent restaurant.

We booked ahead using their on-line facility and arrived ahead of our appointed time, but as our table was ready, the waitress seated us. She explained that there might be a delay with our food. This turned out not to be the case and our food was delivered promptly. I felt the choice was rather limited, and bearing in mind there were hotel guests also dining, they might struggle to find alternatives on successive nights.I had the sea bass which was cooked perfectly. My wife chose the fish and chips which she thought was a little light on fish, but heavy on the batter.

Ended up eating here as a last minute choice as our hotel had a chef issue. Have to say I couldn't be happier with our decision. There is a lovely calm ambience in the restaurant and the standard of food both my wife and I had was first rate. Beautiful succulent fish in a crispy light batter which my wife loved and my rack of lamb was top restaurant quality.Definitely well worth tracking this down if in the area

Wasn't too sure about going to this restaurant as it looked a bit 'out of our league' but very pleasantly surprised. Very comfortable surroundings, pleasant and helpful waiting staff and although a short menu the choices we made were very tasteful, of sensible portion size and a reasonable cost.I would recommend a visit especially for a quiet dinner for 2

First night of the holiday we chose to eat at the Ivy House. Food was excellent and all of the staff welcoming. We returned for our last night as a result. The beef was something special and cooked to our preference.

Booked this restaurant following reviews and seeing the menu online. This place is difficult to find down a narrow street and no parking available anywhere near. Not advertised at all, needs more signage and definitely more parking. We gave up as ended up down a busy narrow street, decided to go to penrith instead.

Had a lovely meal at Ivy House restaurant to celebrate my husbands birthday. Enjoy the pubs in Keswick but it's so nice to find a venue for those special occasions The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is delicious. My husband really enjoyed his steak and I had a great vegetarian meal. Thanks also to the friendly efficient staff.

What a lovely meal. The best food we had while in and around Keswick. Can I firstly say thank you, thank you and thank you to the wonderful host who was seriously understaffed. She was brilliant and served everyone brilliantly. Kind, approachable and nothing was too much. Thank you! The food was superb. We had mains and dessert. Credit to the chef. Also, the decor is lovely as I’m sure I read it had a full refurb? Anyway, book in advanced and you won’t be disappointed.

We stayed at Ivy House for three nights and had dinner with them in the first. I have to say, the food was delicious; the fish was so tender & fresh and everything including down to the berries with dessert, tasted locally sourced. Service was slightly abrupt (depending on who served you), although some people would just call that efficient. We were pleased to see the staff were still all wearing masks & deep cleaning every table & chair between each customer. Parking is a bit tight, but it's a lovely little hidden gem off the beaten track, which we would highly recommend.

We booked on the off-chance for our last night on holiday in Keswick. It was easy to get to but parking was a bit difficult despite a well laid-out car park behind the hotel: just not enough space for seasonal demand and anywhere else in the village is a complete no-no. The menu had an interesting range but2 curry dishes on a limited menu - ah well. We weren’t interested in the starters. Both the main course lamb and the guinea-fowl were excellent though the lamb could have done perfectly well without the slice of haggis. All was forgiven by the double choc brownie with a fruit compote and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, though since we were sharing the dessert, we ordered extra ice cream. The two red wines by the glass - a Merlot and a Tempranillo - were excellent. The service was pleasant, though the side room near the kitchen could have done with a fly exterminator in the passage to the exit.

Lovely Fine Dining Experience. Suprised by some of the reviews below. We both had 3 courses on a Saturday night. All were superbly presented and with plenty of local ingredients and regional specialities such as cumbrian lamb served with haggis and local Cheeses to finish. The Ivy House seems a step up from many of the local gastro pubs but not as formal as say a 1 star mitchelin restaurant.Price wise for the offering I thought it was good value. We both had 3 courses and chose more expensive options. We don't drink so had 2 large bottles of sparkling water. Total price £73 for 2 people.

The food was adequate but the service really could do with improving.On perusing the drinks menu it said ask for our selection of gins, now being a gin lover this I did to be told by the waitress there was elderflower, rhubarb and others that she couldn't remember then just stood there waiting, surely she should have offered to go and find out? Then when we asked for the bill we were given the wrong one! Won't be going back next year.

Everything about our evening at the Ivy House was spot on. Food and service were both excellent, and it was well worth the short drive over from Keswick to get there.Of the meals we had in the Keswick area over the course of a week, this was the best.

Extremely disappointing. A poorly presented cold starter served on a warm plate. Tiny prawns only just defrosted. Main courses with lots on the plate but almost no flavour. Guinea fowl served with an undercooked and tasteless parsnip (it's June) and red cabbage that was also undercooked. The "jus" was completely bland. Sea bass largely the same. Can't recommend at all. The two local pubs, both of which we tried, were miles better. Ironically both served better cooked and more interesting vegetables.

five weary hikers, we were well look after and well fed at the ivy house. it's a fancy place for cumbria. the food was great and the service friendly (+ covid compliant).

We booked for an early start and was well looked after by the staff. The food was excellent, extremely fresh and well presented. It had a great ambiance and had well trained staff.good value for money.

Fácilmente accesible y, sin embargo, remoto: se siente parte de Lakes, acogedor hotel boutique de gestión familiar con fogatas rugientes en el que disfrutar de una cerveza tardía o brandy después de una deliciosa comida antes de una excelente noche de sueño en habitaciones con carácter de estilo tradicional. Impresionante menú con especialidades locales de temporada y los desayunos son para morirse. . . . . . alimentando un día en el aire más fresco y en el propio escenario de Dios. Perfecto.

Vine aquí para cenar con amigos.Cuando llegamos, un poco tarde, ¡nuestra mesa no estaba lista! Nos llevaron a una sala de espera y nos dieron los menús. Mi odio favorito es que esto esté sucediendo, te hace sentir apurado. Se tomaron pedidos de bebidas.Mostrado en nuestra mesa y la camarera enmascarada mezcló los 2 vinos tintos, aunque para ser justos, ¡no hubo diferencia entre el merlot y el rioja! !Órdenes tomadas, es tan difícil escuchar a la gente cubriéndose la cara mientras suena muzac de fondo.La sopa estaba buena pero normal, nada la hacía destacar como excepcional y los 2 pequeños trozos de pan francés eran una mala excusa, debería haber sido al menos un panecillo.El Chicken Supreme (Yeap directamente de los 70) no era nada agradable. El pollo estaba demasiado salado al igual que la salsa, el brócoli estaba tan poco cocido que estaba crudo y había una plétora de brotes de guisantes por todas partes. La gracia salvadora fueron los ñoquis, que era lo único realmente comestible.La panza de cerdo estaba bien, pero nuestros amigos dijeron que no era lo que esperaban. Un trozo enorme de panceta sobre fideos.Los pudines eran buenos pero no excepcionales.Sé que Covid ha cambiado las cosas, pero Ivy House parece haber desaparecido y haber sido reemplazado por un menú aburrido y aburrido, lo cual es una pena.Regresaremos cuando las estúpidas cubiertas faciales hayan desaparecido y vuelva a la normalidad.

Excelente restaurante! Completamente reservado durante la mayor parte de la semana, pero logramos llamar por teléfono con una semana de anticipación y descubrimos que había una mesa gratis para 5 personas a las 6 pm un lunes por la noche. Raciones abundantes. Entre nosotros teníamos Pork Belly, Garbanzos al Curry, Merluza y 2 x Tagliatelle; seguido de brownies de chocolate y tabla de quesos. Todas las opciones fueron excelentes. El personal fue atento con el PPE completo.

Nos hemos alojado en Ivy House antes pero el restaurante no estaba abierto por las tardes. Esta vez comimos dos veces y tengo que decir que no me puedo quejar de la comida o el servicio. No es un menú grande pero había suficiente variedad para 2 noches. . . . . más y puede que hayamos estado luchando.

We ate here when staying at The Ivy House Hotel, and were so impressed we went back for a second night! This is probably not for you if you would rather have a large plate of traditional ‘pub grub’, but if you are happy with a select menu of slightly different, very well cooked and presented meals, you should be well pleased with what is on offer here.Plenty of choice for meat lovers, but we tried the mushroom risotto, the truffled portobello mushroom, the hake, and the sea bass dishes. All lovely and beautifully presented.Meals and wine are not overpriced, and good value.

Very good food at a reasonable price. We had both breakfast and dinner there. We would definitely recommend it.

Como visitantes habituales de Braithwaite, me complació descubrir que cenar en el restaurante Ivy House está disponible para todos. Esta fue nuestra primera visita y no será la última.El pequeño comedor es acogedor y acogedor, y hay un pequeño salón para tomar una copa antes de cenar o tomar un café después de cenar.Nos presentaron un pequeño menú que tenía muchas opciones: debería haber algo para todos los gustos. Nos sumergimos directamente en los platos principales; Escogí la merluza con una cremosa salsa de cola de langosta Masalla. Solo había una pizca de especias de curry que complementaba el pescado suave perfectamente cocinado. Tenderstem brócoli y puré fueron los acompañamientos. El plato era realmente inusual y delicioso. Mi otra mitad seleccionó la cazuela del juego Cumbrian con tubérculos. Esto era justo para una fría noche de invierno; Una rica salsa cubría la tierna carne y las verduras estaban muy bien cocinadas.Tuve sorbete de maracuyá y piña de postre, mientras mi marido elegía el crujiente pastel de limón con posset de limón y sorbete de limón. Estos pudines eran sabrosos y refrescantes. Junto con 2 copas grandes de vino nuestra factura fue de 48, lo que nos pareció una excelente relación calidad-precio. Esta fue comida de calidad bistro a precios de pub.Definitivamente cenaremos aquí nuevamente.
