Best British Restaurants in Lower Beeding

The food and drinks at this restaurant are delicious. You are going to pay accordingly, but expect to have a solid meal and very good drinks. The atmosphere is beautiful — the restaurant is well decorated. It’s not too loud and not too crowded, which makes it feel pretty posh. However, we had a very odd experience with our server Nelson. He didn’t even say hello or good evening when we arrived and he just raised his eyebrows and said “yes please” when he took his notebook out to order. While I am all for efficiencies (I used to be a server and a bartender for 3 years), part of the hospitality business is…hospitality. This man expressed no smile, no emotion, and no sense of humanness. It was so weird. One of the ladies who appeared to be a manager came over to take our dessert order and she was very friendly, but we couldn’t understand why Nelson was so extremely cold. It appeared that this was his demeanor towards other tables as well. We arrived 5 mins early, didn’t take long to order drinks and food, and didn’t linger. What was his issue? We will never know. We will definitely be back to the Ivy, but will request to not have him as a server.

Was a wonderful dinner! Everything was perfect! From the plates to the service to the location everything was top of the top! Can’t wait to be there again! One of the best restaurants I have been during my vacations

Francesco was a phenomenal server. He could not do enough to accommodate us and those with allergies. His manner was professional but friendly. Great evening and fantastic food.

We asked and were given a lovely booth on the ground floor to accommodate my parent’s needs. Service was prompt and friendly. We enjoyed the new Cote menu and the creme caramel went down well for desserts.

I’m ceoliac (have to eat gluten free) and I felt soo included. Nice selection of gluten free meals and the food was incredible! Staff were also amazing and so friendly
