The Ivy House

A Culinary Delight at The Ivy House Nestled in the heart of Stradbroke, The Ivy has long been a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike. Recently, the pub made waves with the appointment of a new chef and the introduction of a tantalizing food menu. Intrigued by the buzz, I decided to pay a visit and was not disappointed. From the moment I stepped inside, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet stylish interior that exuded charm. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth, setting the tone for what would be a delightful dining experience. Opting for a classic British fare, I started with the quintessential dish: fish and chips. The crispy batter encasing the flaky fish was perfectly seasoned, and the chips were golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Each bite transported me to the shores of a seaside town, where the aroma of salt and vinegar filled the air. For dessert, I indulged in the sticky toffee pudding, a true testament to the chef's culinary prowess. The pudding was moist and decadent, with a rich toffee sauce that danced on my palate with every spoonful. It was a sweet finale to an already memorable meal.

I eagerly anticipate my next visit, eager to explore more of the culinary delights that await at this hidden gem.

Visiting Suffolk and driving through cute villages, we stumbled upon The Ivy House - an attractive pub restaurant with plenty of tables to sit at outside in the sun. We were starving but realised we'd turned up exactly one minute after the kitchen closed! No problem - the chef was happy to cook for my friend and I! One fresh Cromer crab salad and one huge Greek salad with chicken skewer appeared, both looking and tasting amazing. We discovered that this is a fairly new venture with many more exciting plans for the future. I would definitely recommend visiting for the wonderful food and service and also to support a great local business.
