    Why go

    Book The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie for a polished, easy city-centre meal rather than a chef-led destination dinner. Lunch is the stronger value play thanks to the £19.95 two-course seasonal menu, while dinner works better for birthdays, graduation meals and smart-casual group occasions.

    About The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie

    In Nottingham, The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie is best framed around its essentials: Modern British cooking, a smart-casual dress code and a price point of about $45 per person. It makes the most sense for guests who want to judge the booking on those confirmed basics rather than on claims about format, service or extras.

    At about $45 per person, the value question depends on the occasion. The confirmed menu signals include The Ivy Classic Shepherd’s Pie, Foraged Wild Mushroom and Truffle Linguine, Salt and Pepper Calamari, Roast Beef Sunday Roast and The Ivy Signature Chocolate Bombe. For a comparison with another named dining option, Raymond's is one possible cross-shop; for a Modern British brasserie brief in Nottingham, The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie is the more direct call.

    Value depends on the occasion

    The details point to a Modern British brasserie priced around $45 per person, so the decision should start with what the table wants from that spend. The clearest dishes are shepherd’s pie, mushroom and truffle linguine, salt and pepper calamari, Sunday roast and chocolate bombe. That gives you a grounded way to assess whether the venue fits your group without relying on unsupported claims about awards, chefs, service style or a wider drinks programme.

    Smart casual dress is confirmed. Treat it as a Nottingham brasserie where neat, put-together clothing is the safe choice, judge the booking primarily on the cuisine, price point and named signature dishes.

    Who should book, who should cross-shop

    Book if the table is looking for Modern British cooking in Nottingham at about $45 per person and the listed Ivy signature dishes match the mood of the meal. The strongest confirmed signals are the cuisine, the smart-casual dress code, the price point and the named dishes.

    For a deeper shortlist, compare it with Raymond's first, then use Nottingham restaurants guide to decide whether the brief calls for The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie or another dining option.

    Restaurant context

    How it compares

    The Ivy Nottingham Brasserie is the most flexible pick in this group for mixed-purpose dining: lunch, dinner, celebrations, work meals and private dining. Raymond's is the closer Nottingham comparison for Modern British cooking at ££, and it is the better cross-shop if the group wants something that feels more independent and food-led. The Ivy is easier to recommend when predictability, setting and group suitability matter more than a distinctive chef identity.

    Against Lamb Inn, the trade-off is price and polish. Lamb Inn sits at £, so choose it when value is the main goal and the group does not need a city-centre brasserie setting. The Ivy costs more on the general price signal, but the £19.95 two-course seasonal menu makes lunch a sharper deal than its dinner positioning suggests.

    Stones Restaurant, Hitchen's Barn and Duncombe Arms all sit in the ££ Modern British lane, but they read more like alternatives for diners willing to travel or plan around a more specific meal. Choose The Ivy for Nottingham convenience, easy booking and a lively upscale-casual room; choose the out-of-metro options when the meal itself is the main reason for the trip.
