A kind of Hybrid Cafe/Bistro/Pub though I was too late for breakfast at 11.40 am ? I persevered with a decently presented Harveys Sussex Best the other beer on cask being Tonbridge Coppernob, It's divided into two rooms with some old wooden beams throughout, although food seems the main thrust it's a comfortable enough experience stopping off for a beer.

Visited 15/09/25. Visited previously 30/09/24.
Cask here was Harvey’s Sussex Best, Tonbridge Copperknob and one unused hand pump. Keg was Neck Oil, San Miguel, Amstel, Moretti, Guinness, Aspall, GK Level Head.
This venue has a very large and very plush outside seating area that I guess was a Covid add on. Inside the entrance my preferred bar seating is straight ahead and is down a step to the bar counter. To the right of the entrance is a small seating area with high tables before the large open plan kitchen at the end of that side. To the left of the entrance the other side of the main bar area is a small seating area with a set of regular tables and chairs and another access to the bar counter with a small subset of the keg beers in the main bar area. Seems to be a popular food venue.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Ivy House
Interesting old pub, with various ups and downs over the years. However, the cramped twin-bar layout remains despite the partial gastro-pub makeover with the larger room now the dining area (featuring a semi-open kitchen at the far end). Most of the solid modern tables are set out for dining, leaving just a few seats for drinkers inside (plus a part-covered patio beer garden and a few small tables along the frontage). Harvey's and Tonbridge Brewery's Coppernob available from two of three handpumps on the main (corridor) counter, with a few more keg taps in The Snug bar.
