The Ivy Nottingham

You'll spot the familiar green awning from across the square - The Ivy's theatrical sensibilities translate surprisingly well to Nottingham's Georgian streets. The dining room strikes that signature balance between accessible glamour and proper comfort, with emerald banquettes and art deco touches that feel indulgent without being intimidating. The menu sticks to The Ivy's tried-and-tested formula of elevated British brasserie classics. Think shepherd's pie that actually justifies the price tag, perfectly executed fish and chips, and cocktails mixed with genuine care. It's the kind of place that works equally well for celebrating a promotion or impressing visiting relatives who think Nottingham doesn't 'do' proper restaurants.
