Won the Tuesday pizza deal competition for me and my partner a few weeks ago. We visited last Tuesday. We had garlic dough balls for starter. For main we had half pizza and homemade wedges each. I picked Mexican style pizza and my partner had satay chicken with cashew nuts. The pizzas were homemade and they were delicious! Definitely recommend this pub! Thank you so much.
Fab place, great atmosphere, great food and a lovely pint. Had a great bsnk holiday, group n and the place was jumping. Get yaselves there. X

Was visiting my in laws in Sunderland with my mate and on the last day, stopped into The Ivy House for an early dinner before our flight. My in laws live a short distance away and I was surprised when they said this establishment allows dogs! So they brought their dog along and we ordered 3 burgers and a curry. One burger was mistakenly brought out with chicken rather than beef but straight away the lovely waitress fessed up to the kitchens error and said we could keep the incorrect order and they would also bring out the correct order! Then I went to buy 2 beers and a juice at the bar and as it was happy hour, got to press this red buzzer which skipped through options on a screen which would say how much I would pay for the drinks. To my surprise, it landed on 'free' so I got the entire round for free! The food came out and it was all lovely, especially the wedges served with the burgers. They even gave my friend another free juice because of the error with her burger order. All in all, a great experience, friendly staff, great tunes playing in the background and dog friendly. It's a shame I live in Australia as I would make this my local!! Thanks again 😊👍🏻
I rarely review on any site, but I should have done this ages ago. Absolutely love this pub, especially for food. Prices are brilliant and you get great quality along with. I have had lunch here quite a few times and especially love the meatball sub after trying it yesterday, and the staff are always welcoming and cheery.
If you want a pleasant lunch or a few drinks, give it a go, I doubt anyone would be disappointed.

We were very impressed. We were accompanied by our Australian daughter in law, her Irish friend and our very large German Shepherd. The atmosphere was very welcoming and within minutes presented with menus and our GS with a bowl of water and a doggie treat - he could have doggie beer too! The menu was mainly burgers and pizzas, which we knew before we visited, however ALL handmade and certainly sounded very tasty. Dishes chosen it was off to the bar to order- daughter in law offered to buy the drinks, there were lots of small independent brewery ales on offer. Personally I very rarely drink ale but chose to try 'Oracle' and very glad I did. There were cocktails and various Gins to choose from - paradise! Daughter returned to the table to tell us 'the drinks were free' apparently there's a 'button' which when pressed, a bit like a fruit machine, spins and if you hit at the right time your drinks are free!!! Food was very tasty and served by a delightful young lady. We all enjoyed our visit, including GS, he was fed numerous treats. The ambiance, the food, the drinks and the service were all superb. Only recently moved into this part of Sunderland and have decided The Ivy House is definitely going to be our local. Well done!
Not even finished my chips and had to rate that burger. Best I've had.
Lovely place - we go for Sunday lunch every few weeks and it’s always great :)
Not as out of the way as you might think and a great recommendation from the Landlord at Fitzys. Good selection of beer and a nice feel to the pub. We had already eaten so didn't indulge in the cuisine. The taps and poster in the toilet made me chuckle too, really had character. 😁
OMG!! The food 🤤
This may not be for some but it's was unbelievable. I had a Marmite and cheese garlic bread with extra chicken and it was the greatest circular dish I've ever eaten.
Cannot wait for another
Decent local boozer, good range of beers and nice pizzas.
You want food. They have you sorted. You want vegan or vegetarian food. Not a problem, the chef will veganise almost any dish on the menu. Go on, challenge them, I dare you. They are total food ninjas.
They’ve also got a load of guest beers on tap as well as your usual suspects, so basically, they’ve got you covered on every angle. Food, drink, shelter from the elements. Hell, simply take up residence at one of the tables and call it home.
Almost forgot, they are dog friendly too, so fetch the best lad down and make a day of it.
To sum up, if your animal, vegetable or mineral, then get yourself down because all the other places come a sad second best to these beautiful people. They get a big thumbs up from me. And I’m one of those whinging vegan types, so I’m usually impossible to please unless I’m hugging a tree, blockading a motorway or burning some sage in an incense burner.
Wow! This review has got to be worth a free pint! 😂🍺
Very tasty food, excellent service, excellent beer and friendly to animals.
I don't mind this pub. Friendly staff and the food is top notch for a local boozer. Prices are good and they offer a selection of beers and ales
Fantastic dog friendly pub. Great choice of delicious food very reasonably priced. Good selection of real ales too.
Watched a band here last week ,great atmosphere.
Food is amazing everytime! Used to go there every Thursday for the Burger deal, and each one of the burgers was delicious, especially the Francesca and the Maria (loved the idea of naming burgers after people, quite clever), and the triple cooked chips are just the best! Staff are dead friendly too, which is always a big plus for me!
Every time I go back to visit friends in Sunderland, I need to pay it a visit for some beautiful hangover scan!
Great pub who do probably the best pizzas in the world; try them, they're awesome
