Sunday is the official day for roast lovers. A roast isn’t just a meal; it’s a British staple that brings family and friends together in a quest for not just the crispest potatoes, but for love to be shared and laughter to be loud. The Original Ivy on West Street provides just that, in all its emerald glamour, with an infamous shimmering bar that takes centre stage in the restaurant.
Think – a roast crafted with home-cooked love yet enjoyed in a grand setting. Every Sunday from 11:30 am to 4:00 pm, The Original Ivy presents a simply perfect roast menu. The first main is a succulent and tender 21-day, dry-aged, Hertfordshire beef sirloin with silky red wine gravy. Perfectly paired with golden roasted potatoes, which, once cut, percolate with the steam. The second main is a roasted corn-fed chicken for two, intricately prepped to get the most flavour out of every bite, and is harmoniously paired with matchstick potatoes. You’ll be well and truly satiated as both mains come with a colourful and generous side of fine vegetables and fluffy golden brown Yorkshire pudding.
With a delicious roast to remember, there’s also a bar to drink and toast to any occasion. Since its opening in 1917, The Original Ivy has seen some of the most loved and influential public figures in British memory walk through its doors. From the likes of the one and only people’s princess – Princess Diana, a humanitarian and fashion icon. To the Nobel Prize winner, Harold Pinter, the renowned British playwright and screenwriter.
Ceasing to let the best of British walk through The Original Ivy doors in vain, the Ivy signature cocktail menu thoughtfully pays homage to these figures and more. Pull up a stool at the shimmering bar and sip on Princess Diana’s favourite cocktail, the sweet yet refreshing Peach and Hibiscus Bellini made from prosecco, peach puree, hibiscus and sour cherry. Something sparkling perhaps? Celebrate in style with the Ivy Champagne Cocktail, a refined sparkling mixture made with cognac and champagne, served with a sugar cube and Angostura bitters, a wink to Mr Pinter’s ever-sparkling creative spirit.
A venue steeped in British excellence, return every Sunday for a best-in-class roast at The Original Ivy on West Street.
