What User doesn't like about Ivy House Kitchen:
Driven past many times travelling between Plymouth and Portsmouth but never stopped until today. At first it seemed like a long missed opportunity ample parking, beautiful outdoor seating area, and surprisingly well isolated from the noise of the A35 but was ruined by the pointed rudeness of the member of staff working on the coffee stand. Ignoring customers, and when addressed made no apology simply said ‘I’m busy’.... View all feedback. What User likes about Ivy House Kitchen:
I have brought my daughter to have a break from the revival of a afternoon and to try out the cake she really enjoyed and my mother for a glass of wine. I tried the gluten-free beer that is my new favorite! we sat outside in the sun that was beautiful. we come back to lunch with my other daughter we are both coeliacs) how to try out the gluten-free fish and chips! will also come for our next meeting with the bella’s...

Find a table and a menu. Go to the desk with your table number and order and pay. Food is brought to you. Only had sandwiches

Grove Cafe offers a mixed experience with some disappointed by the lackluster service and food, while others rave about the pleasant setting and delicious gluten-free options. The variety of events and themed meals add an exciting twist to dining out, with some customers leaving fully satisfied and eager to return. Despite some hiccups in service and food quality, the Garden Centre setting provides a relaxing atmosphere for visitors to enjoy good food and friendly staff. Overall, Grove Cafe offers a unique dining experience that may be hit or miss depending on individual preferences.
