Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Ascot

It’s not always easy being a vegan and dining at a restaurant that doesn’t specialise but tonight I was blown away by the quality of the food which was so flavourful. There wasn’t a huge amount of choice for me but I had the Asian salad and the plant based curry and they were bursting with flavourful ingredients. It’s just an annoyance that there were so many vegetarian dishes that could have so easily be veganised. All five of us enjoyed our meals, the service was great - as always - and the cocktails were scrumptious. It is such a shame that the side of Brussels sprouts had butter on them meaning I couldn’t have them, and I absolutely love them so had to miss out for the sake of substituting cow butter with plant butter. But all in all it was a lovely night out and The Ivy put on so many speciality Christmas foods and drinks. If you’re a meat eater you will love this place as the food choices are vast.

Enjoyed a dish of delicious smoked salmon - a splendid brunch was the perfect start to the day.

The owners seem to have successfully negotiated the transition from ordinary local pub, through gastro-pub, to up-market restaurant. The quality is excellent, although the higher prices do mean that we go there less often now, for special occasions rather than our regular meals out. They'll now have to change the name of the road to "No.15 Road"!

My second visit to The Ivy this month. The food was excellent. The restaurant was very busy which is always a good sign. Our group were unanimous in praising the food. I will be returning in the new year.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. A perfect spot for a great dining experience. Highly recommend!
