It was a Thursday Steak Night at the Ivy House and our two Filet Steaks with a house melot were just what we wanted. We shared a starter of ox cheek pancake which was very tasty. Good cooking and a good atmosphere. Worth revisiting.

Absolutely delicious food, fantastic location in Cartmel with the stream running through the beautiful and spacious beer garden. The service was impeccable. We had a booking for 9 people and we were made to feel very special as we celebrated my wife's 60th birthday. We loved it and can't wait to come back again.
