The Ivy House in Chiltern

I would not choose to spend my money here again. Food- below average, service-ok, management- non existent. We were asked to leave our table due to another booking (despite having our table booked in advance for the entire evening), very disappointing experience and won’t return again

When we decided to have a small intimate wedding celebration with our family, we immediately thought of The Ivey House - we’d visited before, loved the food and had 11 kids going - so the garden was a big plus. I cannot put into words how incredible Sarah, Andrea, Alice and the whole team were. What went from a simple meal, to more “wedding” - with music, magicians was planned to perfection. They served canapés, 33 covers and drinks to perfection. The team that supported on the day were lovely, Sarah helped plan everything and set up everything - just so so perfect in every way. Food was great, and nothing was too much. I can’t them enough and say anyone thinking about a party, family get together or small event shouldn’t look any further. Thanks again to all of you for making our day everything we wanted

Very busy and popular pub on a Friday lunchtime. Decent pint of London Pride beer and a lovely southern fried chicken burger and crispy chips. Very enjoyable lunch with friends.

Excellent service and food was delicious. Would highly recommend for couples and families. Best food I have eaten from a chain restaurant.

I have always had a good experience at the Ivy House and have been going since the present owner took over. The staff are normally excellent, very pleasant and helpful. Food has always been good. Yesterday evening I phoned to book a table for myself and my Husband, the chap (I won’t name him) who answered the phone was extremely rude. I rang and asked for a table for two people, no answer came from the chap, this happened another two times. He then had the audacity to say to me ‘no need to shout down the phone’ I didn’t realise that I had shouted and apologised. He booked the table but once I put the down I decided that I didn’t want to ever go back to the pub. I rang to cancel the table, the same chap answered the phone, I said ‘hello are you the same chap that I just spoke to five minutes ago?. Once again I had to repeat what I had said, the reply came back very half heartedly as a ‘Yup’. Must say not good customer service, I hope he doesn’t speak to everyone with that attitude because they will lose a lot of custome!

Food and service ,excellent, could not fault it in way.plenty of time to settle in .very comfortable seating table area

This place is amazing! I have been back many times. The staff are all so lovely and friendly. During the colder months they have put the fire on when I have requested and sat us on a table right by it. It is nicely decorated and there is a lovely atmosphere. There is also entertainment on Wednesday and Friday nights. The food is very good too especially their Baked Camembert to share and the Fish & chips. Good portion sizes too and condiment sauces are available :)

We’ve not been to Chalfont St Giles before and popped in to The Ivy House yesterday afternoon for some drinks and dinner. We hadn’t booked and the staff were so helpful in making a table available for us. We had the chicken Sunday roast, which was delicious! Our drinks were really good and would really recommend the chocolate brownie pudding 😋 Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they were very polite and attentive. Thank you for making our Sunday afternoon/evening a good one, we had a lovely time and are so excited to come back again soon. Love Emma & Mike xx

I visited the Ivy House recently to attend a retirement party for a close colleague. The service from the start of the evening until the end was amazing, the food was delicious! Every member of staff was exceptionally helpful, knowledgable and made every effort to go the extra mile all evening. Celine and her colleagues were the perfect, professionals!

Dropped in during a muddy hike without reserving on a Sunday - it was extremely busy but they quickly and efficiently found a table for us. Ordered drinks and food..... the food arrived but no sign of the drinks. The server was a bit rushed but very pleasant so I was not too annoyed - then the drinks arrived and without any further comment from us they said "sorry about the wait for the drinks, we have taken them off the bill". The perfect response - no fuss, addressed the issue and everyone's happy. Food was very good, arancini to start, chicken roast for main and bread and butter pudding to finish. Had an extra beer (well, one was free!) which was a well poured, fresh London Pride. Coffee to finish - decent double espresso. All in all, no complaints, very pleasant lunch and well recommended to fellow travellers!

We have been to the Ivy house 4 times this year for a Sunday roast and each time the roast has been delicious . We have just been yesterday and it was absolutely spot on from the quality of food to the excellent, efficient and friendly service. We were a group of 7 and we all had roasts. Some had the beef and some had the chicken all were delicious. Great portions, Gravy was plentiful and even the roast potatoes were really good. We then had the mixed dessert platter to share and they were all so lovely. We asked the waitress if they were homemade and were told they were. We particularly liked the passion fruit cheesecake and when we commented to the waitress about it she got a print out of the recipe from the chef and gave it to us!! They really did go above and beyond and exceed any expectations of ‘just being a local pub’. This will definitely be our regular ‘go to’.

The Ivy House hosted a Family Funeral Wake, the function room was ideal not too big and not too small. The cosy interior and atmosphere was perfect. The buffet they provided was absolutely amazing, generous slices of traditional cakes, scones, sandwiches, quiche and other savouries, all lovely presented. The staff were very friendly. I would absolutely recommend this lovely venue. Plenty of parking. Thank you to The Ivy House team xxx

As a large group, we were well catered for. Great table service. The place was thriving. The roast beef was delicious and everyone loved their food.

Picked this pub at random when out on a walk. Really enjoyed lunch here. Staff very pleasant. Decor, fireplace fire, etc., all very pleasing. Food (beef pie and mash; chicken and chips) really excellent. Strong recommend.

We absolutely love The Ivy House, can't fault it! The food is delicious, the staff are fab, it's warm and cosy and best of all we can bring our dog. Highly recommend the chicken pie!

Lovely feel..quaint..authentic decor... lovely food. Cosy, real fire. Clean. Easy to find and park.

Had such a lovely evening at The Ivy House with my daughter and sister. The food was delicious with plenty of gluten free options to choose from. Our waitress Celine was friendly, helpful and efficient. We would highly recommend this lovely venue.

Dinner with 3 friends last night. Excellent food in a lovely atmosphere. I had the salmon fishcakes, best fish cakes I have ever eaten accompanied by a very varied salad. And a mini lemon meringue pie which was certainly not a small portion and absolutely delicious. Kudos to our lovely, cheerful waitresses Céline and Harriet who were extremely attentive and happy to recommend dishes. Lovely christmas decorations gave me my first real feeling of Christmas 2023. Ivy House, i will be back

The Ivy House is a "destination pub" on the main road between Amersham and Chalfont St Giles. It has a large car park but we decided to walk there for Sunday Roast. We started in Chalfont St Giles and followed the path opposite The Merlins Cave pub called Stratton Chase. You have to cross the busy A413 at the end but the walk is lovely and takes around 40 minutes. Our table was booked for 2.15, but we arrived early and ordered some drinks at the bar. It was busy but we only had to wait 5 minutes before being shown to our table. There are some great starters on the menu but we went straight in and ordered mains ( 2 x roast beef, 1 Veggie burger and 1 chicken burger). There's a good wine list and we ordered a bottle of Chilean Malbec and NZ Sauvignon. The Malbec went really well with the beef. The beef arrived medium-rare which was perfect and came with the usual trimmings but we also ordered a side of cauliflower cheese. The Ivy house is on the top of my list for Sunday roast and it didn't disappoint. So the food is great, the beers and wines are excellent value but what makes a good pub a great pub is the service. It was really busy, nearly every table full and yet the service was unrushed and relaxed. Drinks came to the table within minutes of ordering and the food came out about 10 minutes of ordering, just enough time to chat, taste the wine and relax. I know lots of pubs are closing down due to many factors but this place certainly won't be one of them because they care, they obviously understand the customer and have designed the whole place with the customer at the heart of it.

This pub is quite a gem . It’s got lots of character and the staff are all very attentive . They have a varied menu , the food is delicious , & decent portions, all in all I would say this place is somewhere we will definitely be returning to . Thank you

We met up with friends for a weekday lunch. It’s a traditional looking pub, wood floored and nicely finished. We had the fish and chips which was fresh, nicely cooked with crispy batter. The chips were cut to fluted shape which was novel and nicely done. Simple stuff done well. The service felt a little cool at first but warmed up after a few minutes. Not much else to tell really.

We had a really lovely evening at the Ivy house, it has a very warm and wholesome atmosphere, the food was delicious you could tell everything was made fresh. Our waitress was very helpful with recommendations for the menu and drinks, we will definitely come back, thank you for a lovely evening!

I moved to the area a few years ago and have sampled the cuisine from a whole abundance of the pubs/restaurants in the south bucks area. This was the first time visiting the ivy house on recommendation from a work colleague and it definitely did not disappoint!! The staff were extremely attentive and accommodating, one member of our party is a celiac and vegetarian, this can sometimes be difficult for places to cater for but not here. They did their utmost to assist and the whole meal was exquisite. Best overall experience we have had in the south bucks area so far and will 100% be recommending to anybody that listens. Wonderful experience!

We popped in for Sunday lunch after a busy morning. We all thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. The dining room has a really unique cosy vibe. We will definitely return.

Our friend who took us told us beforehand had been here before and told us that both the food and service was very good. All three of us ( our friend included) were very disappointed. The service was poor - the 3 young wait staff seemed more intent on chatting than ensuring customers were looked after. We waited 10+ minutes for a menu so I got up and found some. I went to the bar to order drinks as no-one came to ask, and after we had finished our main course after 15 minutes I retrieved a desert menu, On drink ordered half way thru the meal never arrived. The 3 meals we had - only one was acceptable, with one being only half eaten before our friend gave up ! Sadly we all agreed - never again

We booked an early lunch at 1245 and arrived on time; there were two other customers in the bar. Good first impressions of the surroundings were immediately spoilt by the 'welcome' from a disinterested and condescending young woman who gave the appearance of wanting to be anywhere other than helping us. Having said there would be table service, an order of drinks came quickly; unfortunately, when they arrived, the beer was spilt across a 'matless' table and ignored while our 'waitress' departed for other, obviously more 'important duties'. Having been asked, she begrudgingly returned to wipe off the table top and take our meal orders. I suppose that a wait of 35 minutes is to be expected if food is freshly cooked, even if there are very few other customers, but the underwhelming salmon fishcakes (£15.95) served with and a tablespoon of mixed salad really did disappoint. Having moved to the area recently we had hoped this would be our 'local' to enjoy and entertain friends. We shall not return.

I stayed overnight here whilst visiting family and was given the Highlander room. The Ivy House website states: 'For a truly memorable stay in Chalfont St Giles, check in to one of our five deluxe doubles. Spacious and stylish, these beautifully appointed rooms each enjoy an ensuite bathroom with standalone shower and all manner of mod cons to make you feel right at home' Well all I can say is 'spacious' and stylish it certainly is not! Please see the pics but in a nutshell: - Mould in the shower - Shower positioned so close to the wall in the cubicle that you can't position yourself fully underneath it! - Cracked bathroom sink - Toilet so close and crammed - your knees touch the sink unit. - Small and rather claustrophobic - certainly not spacious! - Room does not have double glazing - so you here ALL the busy traffic outside. Absolutely awful - how they can justify the price is beyond me! All I will say is that Jamie who was on shift did at least apologise and give me a drink on the house. Do yourself a favour - don't stay here!

The playground area was covered in huge piles of dog poo we couldn’t stay! Even If you didn’t have children you still would be sat right by it?! Very unhygienic and unappealing. On leaving we explaining why and didn’t get much of a reaction! We had a recommendation from ‘Baby in Bucks’ article, the photo they show is not accurate. Needs removing as nobody should want their child to play surrounded by such a lot of dog poo!!

Visited with family for a belated father's day lunch. Choose the Arancini starter followed by the belly pork. Thoroughly recommend both dishes, be prepared the portion sizes are generous. Other dishes the family choose included fish-and-chips, lamb cutlets, soup and prawn cocktail. Could not fault any. Friendly service, good range of real ales, a proper pub.

Disappointment. Yesterday we tried for first time the bbq steakhouse. When we got there was quite busy + quiz night. We sat inside and ordered drinks and food very quick but we have to wait more than half and hour for starters and then mains to come from the kitchen. Food was good and well presented but we ordered pork belly which was very spicy. We didn't bother to tell them for not waiting another 30 min to be served.

This is an establishment we always drive past on route to London and we always say “we should stop there one day”. So we did.. the bar is set out nicely with large tables and chairs. Good drink and food menu. We had the dog with us and staff pointed us in the direction of the garden. A nice enclosed area with bench tables. We ordered food and it was very nice. The Belly Pork and ribs dishes. As we walked back through we noticed a well appointed restaurant area. All in all a great visit. We will visit again soon.

A real culinary treat. Serious effort had clearly gone into the food. Every dish was delicious. A lovely garden to enjoy it in sealed the deal. We’ll be back!

What a wonderful find. My wife and I decided to go out to lunch and go somewhere new. After a bit of research I found this beauty online and off we went. Luckily it was pretty quiet and we got a table in the garden. The young lady who served us (so sorry we forgot to ask your name) was a credit to the pub. Helpful, friendly and speedy with our drinks. We chose the beef and ale pie and ribs (from the smoker) for our mains and creme brulee and bread and butter pudding for our desserts. It was all really tasty and the meat fell off the bones on the ribs. Are there any downsides? Well, the pub is next door to a golf course and at one point a golf ball came into the garden via several trees. Will most definitely be coming back. Thank you all

We were served by Elliot who was fantastic he was attentive but not too much! And the food was amazing thank you to Lee our Chef! We will definitely be back!

We were not sure what to expect when we entered this pub/restaurant the inside was very much olde worldy except for the modern twist on the lighting. So was very much wondering what the food was going to be like. Absolutely no worry on that...

First visit and not disappointed. Attentive staff, delicious and plentiful food, cosy ambience. Small touches like the delicious bread served with the starters and the sweet biscuit with the coffee made the whole dining experience worth reviewing. Will definitely be returning. Well done to all...

16 of us sat down for mum’s 80th birthday dinner on a Saturday evening. There was another party there too, plus smaller groups and couples, but the staff were patience personified, always cheerful and they didn’t hurry us once. The table was booked for 6:30pm...

A very pleasant place to visit, very warm and welcoming. The staff were very polite and friendly and took our order very quickly. I can’t really say that the food was above average, I was slightly disappointed in the Roast Chicken dinner in that it...

What a delightful pub / restaurant. Lovely staff ,quirky decor and The most delicious food . A member of our party had food allergies and they fully understood and accommodated with ease. Can't wait to go back .

I recently hosted a dinner for 13 at The Ivy House and was very satisfied with the food and service received. Guests were impressed and the evening was an overall success - thank you./

The portions were quite generous, could barely finish my chicken pie. The vegan burgers were good as was the marmalade tart. The vegan brownie was excellent and the mini lemon meringue was just the right size.

Uncomplicated Sunday roast. Not a big choice of meat options but the beef wasnt overcooked and the veg weren't boiled or within an inch of their life. Not bad but not great.

Great pub & Best Chicken Burger Ever! Was staying near by and thought I'd try this place, first night I had the chicken burger, prob the best chicken burger I have ever had and I have a had a few!! There was pub quiz on...

Yet another nice lunch a the Ivy my wife’s birthday lunch with family we spent 3 hours enjoying our day with great food and great service it’s always nice to see the staff who greet you with a smile and look after you so well

We had dinner, for the first time, at this pub/restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The menu is quite small but the food was excellent, plenty of it, not too expensive and well served.

Welcomed in by lovely staff. Food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant. We went as a family with two little ones and were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much. We can’t wait to visit soon!

Lovely meal tonight for valentines Service always impeccable Prawns and mozzarella starters very good - portion size and quality of food taste wise - excellent Sirloin steak perfectly medium rare - great basting 👌cooked perfectly as asked Chicken pie wholesome. Chicken great quality Thank you...

One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve ever had! Great service with smiles…. Really busy which speaks volumes. We’ll be back soon!

We had a late Sunday lunch. The pub was packed, which was a good sign! Loved the cozy interior. As for food, by the time we got there they did run out of roast beef, but the roast chicken was delicious, as was the pie...

Excellent outdoor seating , stunning decorations and ambience and lovely food. Staff are very friendly . Family run business

Quiz night was fun, the dyslexic quizmaster ( her description, not mine) made it even more entertaining than usual. Good pub grub and a decent pint of London Pride.Convenient location however.

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, delicious food .... pub quiz, music nights and more. This is a local pub that works very hard to create a welcome that makes you want to come back again and again; and we do We're lucky to have The Ivy...

Really cosy and nicely decorated pub . The manager ( who I think was the manager ) could have been friendlier and seemed very aloof and didn’t welcome us at all when we arrived . The rest of the waiting stuff were lovely however and...

Cousins, brother and I met here for lunch. A lovely traditional pub serving excellent food. Minted lamb chops were scrumptious with rustic chips (we laughed about the name) and salad with enough French dressing. I commented on how Gordon Ramsay would not be able to...

Had a great evening here, great music and food, meals were lovely quality and service good. Really enjoyed my meal. Came back again with others and same quality.

I have eaten here a few times lately and the food has been consistently good, the roast dinner is always good although attention should be made to ensure the vegetables are warm enough. It is a very busy pub and sometimes you will wait for...

Exceptional food and good beer with welcoming staff We sat in the beer garden it's very nicely done out with colourful seating. We walked through a tented dining area that looked nicely designed And the pub itself has a ton of caricature

Stunning stunning pub , the food was amazing from start to finish. We sat underneath the grapevines which was beautiful I honestly felt like I could have been in the south of France! Added bonus was the little children's play area at the back of...

Had such an lovely time for lunch. The staff and food were amazing, had Maddy as waiter who was great. Shall be back very soon

As a family we were looking forward to our lunch. We received our drinks very quickly and we just ordered breads for starters. The breads took a while but then we had to wait over an hour for our main course. We had to be...

First visit at the Ivy House and really enjoyed my visit. We sat in the bar, the staff were friendly, attentive and polite. The food was delicious and there was a good selection on the menu. Would definitely recommend this pub and will be returning...

We sat outside under the canopy on a hot Saturday lunchtime. It was so nice to be outside and not in the scorching sun trying to eat. A really nice big area. There is also another uncovered outside area with benches and a play area....

Booked for a large group in the outdoor area. There is a good covid covered area with a corrugated plastic roof. Unfortunately on a warm day this is really sweaty and unpleasant. The menu was pretty disappointing standard pub fodder. If you don’t fancy fish/ham/pie/...

Nice pub pleasant staff but only 2 bottles of 0% lager available. How can this possibly happen? Bad management is my guess. I have had my own pubs and I was in the business for 30 years and it was standard practice to have two...

The Ivy house has excelled with its outside covered area and has provided a great meeting place for me with friends recently. Good menu and service.

We were the first back on 12 April 2021, and delighted by the service and the quality of the food! Everything had been arranged to be properly socially distanced, with plenty of one way routes, outdoor warmth and hand sanitisers everywhere. We ate the Baked...

Wow!! What an absolute treat for Mothering Sunday. Perfectly cooked roast dinner - very generous portions. An extremely efficient order and collect service too. Thanks to all the team.

What a lovely place! Food is absolutely marvellous and the staff is extremely attentive. Lovely outside area with beautiful decorations. Definitely recommend ❤️

We booked Sunday lunch for 3 people. The restaurant did not look very busy and it was around 2pm - quite a few tables outside but inside there were just two tables in our part of the restaurant being served. Our drinks came very promptly...

Lovely food and service, relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend the fish and chips, sausage and mash, and creme brulee....all yummy! Would recommend and will visit again.

Wow the food here was fantastic and excellent service! Really enjoyed our meal as a family!! Will definitely visit this restaurant again!

The menu is understandably somewhat limited at the moment, but we enjoyed our ‘eat out to help out’ evening meal. We both had specials – a Mexican burger, and a Steak and Kidney pudding – both of which were tasty, well prepared, with excellent and...

Beautiful place and food Had the burger which was amazing!!! Service was great too . Need to go back and have a Sunday roast.Would highly recommend......

Our visit was enjoyable but unfortunately we chose a busy night and we felt rather crammed into the dining room. As two couples from different households we were conscious that we were close together, and close to the next table. The tables were wiped between diners, but not the chairs. The pies were excellent and we would definitely visit again, but perhaps eat outside if the weather permitted.

Have been here before and enjoyed it. This was a visit at the last minute due to a mess-up with a booking elsewhere. We were made to feel welcome, got great service from a charming, personable young waitress and the food exceeded expectations. Well done to all, we will certainly return.

Had a great time! But great doesn’t even do the word justice, because I had an amazing time. Anyways you really need to visit here if you are travelling and are just in the area. It’s such a lovely place and I’m sad to move back to Liverpool. There are two doggos, Bruno and Bruce who are just so friendly and are ready to play! Feel sad leaving because all of the staff are the best ever!!!!

This is a wonderful establishment with a great menu, friendly staff, excellent parking facilities, beautiful garden with covered heated seating area under some pretty grapevines.I’ve never had a bad experience here whether popping in for a drink, having a romantic evening with my wife, a family lunch or entertaining friends and clients.Their burgers are to die for, especially the Harissa Chicken. I love their Arancini too but the must have for me is the BBQ spare ribs. Their drink selection including wine is absolutely on point and you won’t find lovelier staff anywhere.I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough

The food was absolutely delicious, we were made to feel so welcome and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Connie and Sarah made our visit extra special and were so friendly. Will definitely be returning.

We've been goning on many walks during lockdown with a major, major aspect lacking - a good pub to stop at along the way. It's a real welcome sight to see a pub open again and particularly an old favourite such as The Ivy. They've made a few changes to cope with the new requirements which weren't imposing at all. We'd booked in advance for a garden/outside table, which to be fair, we needn't have done in retrospect since there was loads of space.We were welcomed upon entry and signed in (you may want to take you're own pen if you don't want to share!) and then went through the pub where only a single table was occupied out to the small enclosed court yard area where there are several tables, all adequately spaced.We were the only guests outside at that stage.A disposable menu was provided and our order for drinks taken by the waiter.The drinks arrived very quickly (sparkling water and fresh lime and a London Pride) and were closely followed by our food order which was a Walnut and cheese salad and beer battered fish 'n chips.The Pride was so good and welcome that I felt it only right and proper to see if it was a one-off - it wasn't, the second was just as good.The report back on the walnut salad was extremely favourable as was my experience of the fish and chips. The fish was succulent and the batter crisp and not greasy whilst the fluted chips were spot on.We utilised a 15% off voucher but even if it hadn't been available the whole experience represented very good value all round.We will definately be revisiting to restock energy for the walk home again shortly I'm certain.I continue to recommend as one of the best pubs in the area.
