Only leaving a negative review because the prices are extortionate! Wonderful service but wouldn’t come again for that reason. Gluten free pasta and pizza available!
Came for my mums birthday. The staff were fantastic. Food was great as always. My husband is gluten free and they have one of the best gluten free menus. But the staff made the evening. Thank you for making it special
We had a lovely birthday meal here.
Food was reasonably priced and tasted delicious. The tart was especially good! I found the crumble a little too cinnimon-y for my liking but otherwise delicious. Also had a variety of gluten free and vegan options.
Service was also really friendly although a little too efficient at times. They took away the dips from our appetiser whilst I was literally still holding bread in my hand.
Atmosphere so lovely. Nice decor and lighting. Table behind us was a little obnoxious and loud but not the restaurant's fault.
Would come back.
We rented The Black Room at Forte for my baby’s 1st birthday. The staff were excellent and made the day completely hassle-free; we arrived to a room already set up for us, and were assisted with displaying the food we had brought with us for the babies. The canapés provided by Forte was excellent - everyone commented on how good they were! And they were able to accommodate dietary requirements of some of our guests (gluten free, vegan etc.) Thank you to the team! Would highly recommend for any event.
Visited on 30/08/23 just for breakfast. Two of us and one in the party required Gluten Free bread for toast. The waitress asked if I was Coeliac when asking for GF toast. Very impressed.
Lovely little shop and cafe.

Visited the Ivy on a Sunday evening with some friends. We found the service somewhat lacking and had to ask for some things more than once and service took a long time.
I advised the waitress that I was gluten free which was fine but everything had to be researched via an app, I ordered but then I was surprised when I was served fries with my meal. I hadn't ordered them so was reluctant to eat them as I didn't know if they were safe for me to eat (it later turned out they were not). When we finally got the ladies attention we asked about the fries and explained I have a gluten allergy so I'm not sure I should have had them. The waitress said they were served in error but they wont be on the bill. Well obviously...
The starter was amazing, and the main was okay but for the price I would have expected slightly higher standard. Other peoples meals were a mix of 'fine' and 'really good'.
It wasn't overly busy so the noise levels were good and atmosphere much better than that of a Friday and Saturday, but the staff didnt seem to be on their game which was a bit disappointing.
I don't think we'll be rushing back to be honest. The allergy thing is made difficult here, having to cross check the menu with an app where the titles might not be the same. You can't join in conversations as you're heads down trying to figure out what you can have with little staff involvement to help you out.
If the Ivy is happy to serve a Vegan menu, why not have a Gluten free menu? It's just lazy and exclusive
Lovely meal with friends. Our sever Jack did a great job. As someone who has to eat gluten free I was delighted to have some choice, although a little more would be nice. All our food was beautifully cooked and we can definitely recommend The Old Forge.
Came here for breakfast before graduation and had a great experience fantastic food, and we had really stellar service from the lad waiting our table
Also great gluten free options
Really helpful staff with excellent knowledge of food intolerances. Most of the burgers can be adapted for the gluten and dairy intolerant. The only negative was the noise levels, would probably benefit from some soft furnishings to absorb the noise. Burgers were amazing!
