About Venue

Opened in March 2018, Ivy Cambridge Brasserie sits plumb in the city’s university heartland. The kitchen serves the chain’s signature British classics and, as at the Covent Garden original, Martin Brudnizki has been a guiding hand on design. His art-deco theatrics extend to the Boat Room, which accommodates groups at a single long table (removable for drinks receptions). On a polished, oak-tiled floor, it is surrounded by colourful vintage prints and artwork that reference local academic and riverine traditions.

This is a great place. We ordered their popular shepherds pie, steak and chips which I replaced with another side. Food presentation was great. I saw their fish and chips which is impressive. I will definitely try it next time if I am hungry enough.

Was an enjoyable experience, the food was great, tasted really good and prices are reasonable. Good choice of cocktails and wine is always nice too. The staff were just as great maybe even better. From the moment we came in to the moment we left, staff were all really friendly and extremely helpful. Even commented how nice my partners dress was. I did note on the booking that it was my partners birthday and at least 5/6 staff members came up to her throughout the night to say happy birthday even the manager, which was really appreciated and made the evening even better. They even presented her with an bday dessert too with a candle which was the cherry on top of a great night. Our server for the night Marvin was an absolute delight, they were incredible and made us feel comfortable and well looked after. Shout out to Marvin, if we can request someone to look after us next time it will be Marvin for sure. Had a smile on the whole time, kept our drinks topped up and even had a great wine recommendation to pair with our dessert All in all was a great evening, will definitely be visiting the next time we are in Cambridge and would recommend to anyone

We reserved seats for Valentine’s Day with a set menu. The ambiance is inviting and draws the eyes to many special motifs throughout the place. We had squid appetizer and a plate of their sourdough bread. I’d encourage you to get the bread. My wife and I both exceptionally loved the bread and will go back if only for the bread (the bread is a clear repeat beyond anything else we had). For the entrees, we had salmon and a lobster pasta. Both were good and yet not stunning or set for a repeat. There were very large chunks of lobster in the pasta which was welcome, and the salmon was crisp on the outside with moist-soft texture in the middle, yet the flavors of both entrees were just “ok”. The dessert was fun to witness and quite tasty. The video is of the dessert.

Been to this particular Ivy on a couple of occasions. If you’ve been to one they are all pretty much the same with regard to food as the menu is consistent. They differ though on consistency and service. The Ivy in Cambridge is very good indeed, the food is always consistently good and the service is impeccable and you are well looked after. On Fridays visit we chose to eat off their Heritage menu which is good value for lunch. All the dishes we had were delicious and our server, Marvin, was also very attentive. Recommended.
