The Ivy House

You'll find this cracking local tucked away on Worcester Terrace, where the kind of genuine hospitality that's becoming rare elsewhere is still very much alive. The sort of pub where regulars nod hello but newcomers are made to feel just as welcome, and where Sunday lunch bookings disappear faster than a decent pint on match day. The kitchen knows what it's doing – proper comfort food that doesn't try to be fancy but gets everything spot on. Their Sunday roasts have built quite the reputation around Hendon, and rightly so. Whether you're after a quiet pint midweek or settling in for the afternoon with mates, this place strikes that perfect balance between being your proper local and somewhere you'd happily bring your mam for dinner.
