Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing meal last night for my birthday. After reading the other reviews on here yesterday, I was a bit concerned but I honestly cannot fault it. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful but discrete and the food was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately we were so stuffed we couldn't manage a dessert but we will definitely be back to sample them at a later occasion! We were lucky enough to get a table outside, right in front of the castle which just topped our evening off. Thank you to everyone who worked last night.
We were there yesterday and couldn’t have had better food or more attentive staff. My wife had the cottage pie followed by the chocolate bomb❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I had the burger and apple tart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We had Afternoon tea and it was delightful! Endless amounts of tea and the view was lovely. The service was good to (one of the managers tried to photobomb our picture �)
The whole atmosphere and sunshine made me feel like I was on holiday. There is a sneaky service charge but definitely worth it!!
We had a superb time � x
The experience is quite good. There was a good atmosphere and the decor is high quality. The smell was a bit strong when entering but was fine after a while.
The food and drinks were above average, tasted good but could have had a bit more flavour. Portion sizes were big, relative to other places of similar style.
Some of the servers were very nice and interactive and others not so much. Strangely we had two tables of 6 booked but they put us on other sides of the restaurant which was questionable.
I would probably go again and try other things on the menu for a nice occasion.
Friday afternoon experience. Waiter was very good and explained the seasonal dishes. My friend is lactose intolerant so her options were a bit limited. The food was good qutand the restaurant decor was excellent with nice atmosphere. Would recommend
Shepherd pie was so tasty. Atmpohepere was also lovely. Recommend booking an outside table in the summertime for a sunset view. Everyone at the restaurant was so friendly. Highly recommend a nice date dinner with your loved one.
Beautiful restaurant experience. Setting, food, service & decor - excellent. Located in Guildford Town centre, overlooking Guildford Castle, with both indoor & outdoor seating. Service is to a very high standard. Menu is seasonal. From the April/Spring menu I can highly recommend the Ivy champagne cocktails, the duck salad, the glazed chicken, the Malaysian monkfish curry & the chocolate & hazelnut dessert bomb. Highly recommended.
Food, decor and service was excellent although it was exceedingly noisy when full. Maybe some soft fabric wall, or floor covering, would help. Apple tart was my favourite pudding with a bit of a show and the flavour was excellent but I forgot to take a picture, could have done with a little more ice cream.

We went here for afternoon tea to celebrate our grandson's 18th birthday. The decor, ambience and welcome were second to none with a contented hum of the voices of happy customers. When the "tea" arrived it was exquisite and equally delicious. The brioche with chicken enhanced with subtle hints of truffle the smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches refreshing and more filling than one would expect. The middle tier of red velvet cupcake, scones, strawberries and clotted cream equally delicious. The top tier comprised a bowl of geraniums to which our charming servers added water and the dry ice secreted within sent out billowing clouds in a delightful surprise of theatricality.
There was a pistachio macaron and a tiny flowerpot of chocolate mousse with salt caramel and topped with chocolate soil. The smoothie of mango, coconut was rich and fruity. The whole experience was fantastic and well worth the price. The 18 Yr old loved it when they wished him happy birthday and gave him some strawberries and chocolate with a lit candle and we're going again soon. I can't recommend highly enough.
Simple, classy, tasty.
Tip: find a nice view. It makes a lot of difference. You can sit outside if you're going late spring of summer.
I just had an amazing experience! My girl took charge of making a reservation, which led us to a truly delightful afternoon tea. The view of the castle was breathtaking.
The three-tiered tea set, accompanied by the dry ice effect, was absolutely stunning. When it was brought to our table, I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
I loved the scones, truffle mayonnaise brioche roll, and the mango & coconut smoothie. The other desserts were also delicious, but I'm not particularly fond of sweets.
The Hot Chocolate was simply tasty, with the perfect balance of milk and chocolate flavors, just the way I like it.
Vanilla Shakerato, served in a martini glass, which made the ice-cold espresso look extra stylish and refreshing.
It was such a memorable experience, and I'm glad we got to share it together!

Beautiful place with delicious food! I had told them we were celebrating my mums birthday and the servers all said happy birthday and surprised her with a tasty sweet treat at the end of our meal. Really special. Our waitress was lovely and very friendly (annoyingly forgotten her name!)

Absolutely everything about this place was perfect 👌 I could have eaten nothing but the sourdough bread and would have left happy. We had arancini, bread, steak tartare, tempura squid, steaks, parmesan and truffle chips, and creamed spinach, then the chocolate bombe to finish. I'm not sure I've ever had a dessert change my life before 🥲
I was impressed that every server checked to make sure we didn't have any dietary restrictions! (I mean we didn't but if we did we'd have been pretty confident we wouldn't have been served any allergens!)
The service was excellent and the food was wonderful. Yes, we spent an absolute fortune. Worth it.
Staff are lovely and the restaurant is stunning the food is delicious and I love the decor in the toilet and smells lovely
Romantic place ..we sat out side and watched the sun set next to the castle .. very lovely place for a celebration. Service was impeccable
We had a lovely visit to the Ivy and our waitress was really friendly and chatty. Food was nice and we all left feeling satisfied. We visited mid week so it wasn’t very busy.
Delicious! Had a lovely mother-daughter lunch at the Ivy. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. Service was great and the bubbly was flowing. Can’t wait to visit again soon. The zucchini fries…. SO GOOD 😊
Lovely atmosphere, great bar and very friendly and attentive team.
