Springtime at The Ivy

Springtime at The Ivy

The Ivy is opening its doors and inviting spring in. With our fresh, vibrant new menus, gorgeous terraces and signature drinks, as well as our much-anticipated Breakfast with The Ivy Bunny experience, our restaurants are the perfect place to raise a glass to the season.

We look forward to welcoming the start of this brand new season with you.

Breakfast with The Ivy Bunny

This Easter we invite you to begin your morning with a touch of wonder as the Ivy Bunny hops by to make your breakfast extra special. Set within the signature charm of our restaurants, this experience blends the joy of a family outing with the indulgence of a beautifully crafted breakfast.

Little guests are welcomed with warm smiles, colourful treats, and a chance to meet The Ivy Bunny, the perfect companion for creating memories that linger long after the last bite. Grown‑ups can savour classic Ivy breakfast dishes, seasonal favourites, and that unmistakable sense of occasion that turns an ordinary morning into something worth celebrating.

Whether it’s a family tradition in the making or a one‑off treat, breakfast with the Ivy Bunny brings together good food, gentle whimsy, and the unmistakable sparkle of The Ivy Collection.

Our Terraces

From rooftop sanctuaries and tucked away secret gardens, to gorgeously curated courtyards and foliage-filled conservatories, our terraces are the ideal destination for those longer spring days. The perfect seasonal haven for a sunny glass of rosé or a candlelit meal, and many of our terraces have plenty of cover for those pesky April showers (you might even discover a fire pit or two!)

Whilst our terraces offer a charming outdoor experience, at The Ivy we also embrace bringing the outside in. Our dining rooms celebrate nature with their breathtaking botanicals and flowers with some even home to beautiful indoor trees. Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely brunch, a romantic dinner or drinks with friends, there’s no better way to see in spring than surrounded by gorgeous greenery in one of our magical restaurants.

Al Fresco and Indoor Spring Favourites

From tranquil city oases to bucolic country courtyards, let us introduce you to just some of our beautiful green spaces. With its fabulous fronds, canopies and trellises, The Ivy Chelsea Garden seems designed just for spring (the clue might be in the name!) Tables nestle under twinkling lanterns and are surrounded by antique pots of exotic palms creating an idyllic courtyard paradise.

Ivy in the Park, located in the heart of Canary Wharf, offers not one but two terraces overlooking both vibrant green space and the urban beauty of Canada Square. A wonderful view to accompany our spring menus, and with heaters and blankets on hand, these terraces are also ideal for those chiller springtime evenings.

The Ivy Manchester spans three floors, the top floor boasting a spectacular rooftop garden. With its abundance of greenery and botanical furnishings, it’s a stunning venue for any occasion. And with a fully retractable roof it’s also the perfect space to see you through the whole season, come rain or shine.

An enchanting backdrop awaits you at The Ivy Marlow Garden. Wander through the beautiful glass roofed dining room and you’ll discover a stunning secluded courtyard.  With olive trees, ivy trellises and a wealth of picture-perfect foliage, it’s an oasis that really comes alive once spring arrives.

And we can’t leave out our nature-filled indoor spaces, The Ivy Liverpool’s dining room among them. Showcasing beautiful floral wallpaper and filled with exuberant greenery, it’s an elegant springtime delight for every occasion.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Our gardens, terraces and gorgeous indoor greenery are carefully cultivated by a team of over 20 Ivy gardeners, their knowledge and passion evident in every beautiful space. Ryan Cahill has been part of the Ivy gardening team for four years and has shared his top tips for making any garden bloom this spring.

Walk on the wild side with wildflowers

“I definitely recommend planting wildflowers – what I like to do is find a seed mixture that’s right for me, whether I’m going for a full sun area or a shady spot. Usually when you start wildflowers from seeds you really don’t have to add a lot of effort in when it comes to watering or maintenance – they kind of truck along and do their own thing. They’re a really fun thing to experiment with.”

Small space? Think spiller, thriller and filler

“If you have limited space, what I like to do is plant mixed planters, where you get more than one plant in there. The rule of thumb for this is to get a spiller, a thriller and a filler. A spiller will be something like a vine or foliage that ‘spills’ over the edge of the pot. Your thriller is your main flower – your most showy bloom – and your filler is something that fills in the rest of the pot, your supporting character.”

Perfect planting

“The best time to start planting in the UK is once the danger of frost has passed. Perennials can be a bit more tolerant but for more sensitive plants you want to wait until any chance of frost is gone. I like to start with bedding plants when the daffodils start to come up – the weather is still cool enough for them to get their roots in deep which helps when the heat of summer comes in.”
