    Quite uninspiring food, found it difficult to find something I actually wanted to eat. Thought the Goose, Turkey and Duck Shepherd’s Pie sounded interesting, except it contained non of the above, just beef and lamb...so why call it that??? Food wasn't too bad, just extremely average.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you found our menu uninspiring and the Goose, Turkey, and Duck Shepherd’s Pie disappointing. I’d like to clarify that the dish does include all five meats—goose, turkey, duck, beef, and lamb—as listed. However, I’ll share your comments with our kitchen team to review the proportions to ensure the flavours are well-balanced. We strive to offer a diverse menu to suit all tastes, and your thoughts will be considered as we refine our dishes. I hope you’ll consider visiting us again.

    We were on a table at the back of the bar and it was a little missed by the waiting team occasionally, like when we wanted the bill. During the meal though the service was excellent with frequent checking our drinks and food was OK. One of our table had the Christmas meal but we didn't get any crackers. Only thought about it when we got home. The snowman desert was fab.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded on 11 December 2024
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed the excellent service during your meal and that the Snowman dessert was a hit! However, I’m sorry to learn your table at the back of the bar felt a little overlooked at times, particularly when requesting the bill. I’ll remind the team to remain attentive to all guests, regardless of table location. I also apologise for the oversight regarding Christmas crackers for your party. Your feedback will help us improve these details moving forward. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable visit. Kind regards,
