    We went to the Ivy in The Lanes for our 35th Wedding Anniversary and I have to say it was amazing. I had the Lobster Risotto which was outstanding and my husband had the T bone steak. Neither of us were disappointed. The staff were brilliant and very professional and attentive. It a really lovely experience that I would recommend.

    After never having been to the Wheatsheaf pub before, all I can say is that the food is absolutely fantastic. I needed Gluten free and they had on the menu a chicken breast in GF breadcrumbs and bun and chips, I couldn’t have asked for more as I always struggle finding GF in restaurants. My partner had the roast beef, he said wow was the best roast he had in ages, the meat was perfect the Yorkshire pudding was huge and gravy was the best Would definitely go back if in the area again .
