The Ivy House

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! 😂🍺

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!
