    We had champagne afternoon tea as a birthday treat from family. It's a fantastic experience, with everything being perfect. Surprisingly when we had finished we were both full. The Sandwiches, cake, scones and fancies we're all delicious, the champagne and tea all excellent. We've had Breakfast and lunch at the Ivy Liverpool and dinner at the Manchester Ivy and now afternoon tea in Belfast. Each venue is different but still decorated in the distinctive decor of Ivy. The Staff in all places are top notch for appearance and service. Thanks. Xx

    My husband and I would like to extend a massive thank you to the staff in The Merchant Hotel for making our special day more amazing than we could have ever hoped for…. Our party of 4 were made to feel so welcome and given a 5 star experience that we will never forget! The food and presentation were outstanding, the cocktails the nicest we have ever had and the Irish coffee experience blew us away… I would recommend anyone celebrating an event or just a lovely lunch with family to book without hesitation, we will most certainly be back!
