Great Content! Well done
Thanks for watching
As a stand-alone meal, not worth it at all. As a day out with Daddy-Daughter, it's utterly priceless.
I wish people would stop complaining about you complaining. It's your channel and that's why we watch it.
Thank you
I dunno why they do what would they rather him do Lie to them lmao
Nice to see you shelled out on a nice meal, for your daughter. A lovely, young, lady and well mannered. You must be proud. Great video!
For eat in at a decent London Restaurant, i'd say £20 is definitely worth it especially for fish - Good value. You have a lovely Daughter
Go to the Ivy...pay the price. Don't complain. Thanks Darren
For £20 a pop, that fish should have been a lot thicker with a nice golden batter. The chips looked crispy with a good home-fried color. The dessert was a treat to the eye and so presented. The Ivy is a high-end restaurant, and not a glorified chippy so the prices reflect that.
You telling me those chips didn't look overdone?
Yes, I would pay £20 for that lovely meal. Those desserts looked gorgeous!
The whole meal didn't cost 20 quid.
Great to see you both together. Both meals looked excellent and being the ivy I think very reasonable. Great video.
Thanks for a great vlog folks!
£20 for a meal in London in a place like that I'd describe as more than reasonable, the only thing I don't like is the cleanliness of the glass as you've so rightly pointed out, everything should be A1 super clean and hygienic.
That's the average price in London now - ain't cheap
That Diet Coke pour was strong! 💪😆👍
Excellent vlog! The food looked like what I would expect from a restaurant for that quality and the prices too. No excuse for putting out a dirty glass.
Looked good thank you👍
For London and The Ivy I think that's pretty reasonable. Bottomless chips might be a nice offer but still fairly priced. The desserts looked stunning
My fish and chip shop at the top of Herne Hill is my favourite. I don’t have mushy peas, or curry sauce, but ask for a large Cod, and you do get a large Cod. And if you like chips, you’re in luck because you get plenty of chips. Enjoy!
Looked good to me. A decent cod and chips takeaway near me is £11 so eating in at The Ivy for £20 is good value.
Not sure why people have been so negative on here.
Very reasonable prices for the Big Smoke. Fish looked greasy, but for 20 quid, excellent value.
I started out by thinking “ ow much “ , but on watching all the video I can see the value . It’s not cheap , but in comparison to where I am in Sydney , that represented reasonable value . Any time spent with your daughter is priceless , that’s all that matters at the end of the day isn’t it .
Good content mate, Daugter is beautiful, have a good weekend, family is so important ❤️🙏🏾
Still giggling 🌼😂
Loved this and I love The Ivy. Some have complaints, I personally always have a lovely experience. Always enjoy seeing your lovely daughter and hope you’ve had a grand visit 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
Restaurant and food both look amazing, specially desserts!
Cheers for the latest content!
Fish and chips in my local chip shop £15 take away east London.
What a racket, “only” about a tenner up north.
Wow those desserts looked amazing. Great to see your daughter as well and you happy :) keep vlogging
Being a yank I enjoy seeing what the dining scene is in my favorite country of my ancestors. I so enjoy your videos essentially these featuring food and your other channel featuring London mainly. My one question was on Mia's dessert I thought the shell is supposed to melt when the sauce is poured on. Must be a different dessert. Love seeing videos with your daughter you have such a good relationship. I sadly lost my Dad when I was 11 years old so missed him growing up.
Nice review Darren. Someone picked up on you keeping your jacket on. Wtf? These people leave comments for the sake of it 😂
Wonderful to see you both! Brilliant content as always. I am surprised The Ivy was so reasonably priced tbh. Here in Cornwall you wouldn't pay much less!
The food looked really good and the presentation of the desserts was excellent.
Prices seemed reasonable for London.
It’s all about what you are happy with, everyone is different. Some say it’s worth it some say it’s not, having a daughter and experiencing a lovely meal isn’t always about value for money. It’s sometimes about the experience and the time spent with your daughter
Paying for the ambiance of the place , food looked reasonable
Things are on the up Darren 😂 Much better than some of the slop you've been served lately. Lovely to spend time with your daughter ❤
Lovely daughter!🎉
Nice to see father and daughter out together bet dad was paying 😅
My Father's day treat
Oh how wonderful to see Mia! You look so beautiful Mia … and happy! I hope your business is doing well too! Stay healthy young lady! Great vid DJ! Been away but so glad you’re doing well too! 🏍️🐟🍟
Bearing in mind where you are £20 is quite reasonable
Both meals looked delicious.
Lovely to watch a video with your daughter as well 🥰
When my daughter visits from uni we always have to have Indian food 😋
A treat we look forward too.
Indian food is always a nice treat Zoe
Lovely to see you having some quality time with Mia. Your food looked lovely.
Mia is such a lovely attractive young lady , proud dad hey , it shows , food looked nice , fish sounded crisp when you cut it , they let themselves down with the dirty glass , as for deserts , wow , minus the flower lol x
Sahara or Gobi?
@@rosemarymeethanks for pointing out my typo error lol
My fish and chips are about £10 in Sunderland so you got a cheap deal m8.
More fish and chips!
How about doing a breakfast review for a change?
😅
Fancy having to ask for a clean glass in a restaurant, bloody shocking. Don’t people check before plonking it down on the table?
I'm not a fish and chip person but presentation fantastic ❤
That trifle looked delicious. 😋
Gorgeous and the food and girl were OK 2
£20 for fish and chips in the Ivy. Sounds decent to me, the local chippy charge £10 nowadays, appreciate that there are probably better fish shops that would provide a better meal, but you've been to the Ivy 🤷 I would take that all day long
Not that many chips there, mate? But it's great to see you and your daughter together. It's a nice fish, though. Enjoying your content..catching up when I can with past reviews. .
Great video DJ. Many thanks.......again 👍
A dirty glass? that's not good. It all looked very nice Darren, a great vid as ever. NYC is soon!
Thank you Darren and Mia for a lovely IVY Lunch tour. I retired from well known accountants just near the corner there. I wish I could enjoy IVY one day. Quality of Food 2/10, Ambience 5/10, Hyped up non-sense 8/10, Bill 0/10
Nice to see your daughter, the food ,I have seen you have better quality.on the whole I’d say it was ok. 👍😜❤️🙏🏼
Father and daughter time is nothing better.
It looked good, it was an upscale restaurant and daughter with you. Priceless
Food looked lovely, especially the desserts both being the centrepiece. I don’t mind paying for quality and that food looked like it had it in abundance.
I like The Ivy , tried a few now and some are better than others . The fish probably came straight from frier to plate which is a shame. One thing i dnt like is a busy table meaning things come separately like chips in a pot and peas in a pot , i just want it all on my plate and no faff but im a heathen lol .
Anyway saying that its nice to see Mia having some dad time.
You gotta treat your best girl dad dnt you.
See you on the next one Darren.
Given the setting I’d say £20 is definitely a reasonable price. Most local chippies in London charge between £12-£15 for a portion of takeaway cod and chips. They even charge 70p for condiment sachets!!
Hi Darren, lovely to see Mia with you at your Favourite Ivy Restaurant. What did you have to drink Darren. Was it Hennessy Cognac and Coke. I Love the Chicken Milanese 🎉 I had it, at the Ivy in Harrogate. Your Desserts look Fantastic 🎉 Darren
Now I know what all the fuss about food is about! 👍
That's good value, most bog standard restaurants are not far off that price, great content DJ
It was so lovely to see you and Mia dining together. Even if the food wasn't up to your usual expectations, the fact that you both spent time together exceed above and beyond ❤
£20 for fish n chips, enjoying the experience with your beautiful daughter...priceless👍🇮🇪
We are supposedly gaining a branch of The Ivy in Canterbury. Maybe one to review on your Christmas trip.
She's pretty, but you can always get better food in a local chip shop at a lot less expensive,posh nosh isn't my thing good video
lovely to see your daughter darren finally a pretty face on the channel (joke) that is a heafty price £20 nicker for that fish and chips that is for sure jeez. have a great rest of the weekend and hopefully see the daughter a bit more too
I pay just under twenty dollars for my fish and chips at my favourite shop🇦🇺 great to see you having a meal with your daughter
Really nice lunch companion Mia ❤
However would expect more from the Ivy regarding service and quality of food
When the Ivy first opened in Canary, it was the bomb mate, but it didn't take too long before it went down hill for sure, so its a no-go for me.
I dont know what happened
Great to see Mia on a video, hope Luke is doing well also 👍 😊
I like my creamy mash with mustard, garlic and black pepper, it looked okay shale slider not too bad for London.
if you go to the Ivy you expect to pay over the top for food! that trifle looked good, nice to see Mia
Darren,
Lovely video with You and Mia!
I love spending as much time as i possibly can with my daughter, a couple of years older than Mia..
This to me wasn't about the food, that doesn't matter mate.
Spending time together is so precious 💕
Fantastic 👏
Great video Darren quality is best you get what u pay for looked yummy your daughter is lovelly very polite thx for sharing
Sorry dj seen better fish and chips and less greasy. But well done for taking your daughter out for lunch 😊😊
Daughter when Dad eats an inedible flower. 🤦♀🤣
Lovely to see you enjoying time with your daughter - loved those deserts but gave to say your fish looked on the thin side. A nice experience to eat there tho and not as pricey as I’d imagined- loved your trifle - I would have ate the flower too 👍
Is not that THE Ivy, in the West End? 🤣 Food looked nice, just disappointed with the dirty glass.
Nice review Darren and good see you with your daughter.
Nice to see you catching up with your lovely daughter Mia. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
When i saw those desserts mate i nearly ate the TV to get to them😂
Golden Chippy,Fish Union & Gigs . Can't go wrong with those three.
Just to let you mother Hubbard is supposed to be opening a new shop in London soon maybe you can let us know if it’s good or not I trust your reviews
Always nice when the weins come visit...especially if they pick up the tab😂
Colonel DJ! Found the channel a couple of days ago and ran through the playlist. Love it! Sounds like you know how to give a right verbal when required!
I'm in London next February -we need to meet up for a proper bit of mischief! All the best!👍👍👍
Bit thin the fish, but £20.00 must be about the normal for london great content as usual.
The restaurant looked good. And I must say the deserts looked really pretty what's your daughter's dessert supposed to be a tennis ball?
Thank you for bringing your lovely girl for lunch, your meal would be even better because she was there. I like our Ivy in Edinburgh, you know you pay a bit more but it’s usually good. I like haddock myself but that’s a Scottish thing I think.😊
That fish look greasy Darren but did it taste greasy yum ❤❤
I live in Cheshire and I think Fish & Chips is over £20 in some of the pubs up here. It looks great in the Ivy.
Bit pricey for fish and chips and mushy peas but it did look nice plus you was in a restaurant so it would be a bit expensive it was nice seeing you with your Daughter Mia having family time.😊
Great review aa always, DJ. Keep up the good work. BTW, I really loved that music. More of same please. Jimmy, a fellow biker in Dublin!
❤for £20 that fine dj with family 🎉nice afters we eaten there nice place smelly glass not good in enny restaurant lose point for that but over all good experience at ivy 😊
Glad your having time with your daughter Darren food looks nice 🤗❤️👍
Yes, thank you
Deadly diet drinks please look up aspartame it's in every diet drink it's used as a sugar substitute.
It was that or beer. Everything is bad for you
Back in early 80s as kids we use get chips with pea wet. Use love them soaked in pea juice 👌
And Darren part of the experience is clean cutlery and crockery 👌The chicken Mia had, I always thought Milanaise sauce was a tomato based with added ham, tongue & cooked sliced mushrooms, basically a red sauce not a white ish. And served with a fried egg almost an escalope Holstein( minus the anchovies). Sadly that fish, was tail cut,so thin almost only one side 😱🐟and far, far to greasy. Chips seemed OK and a fair portion. My overall problem is when you went to the Ivy it was spectacular, and value for the quality. But when you dilute " the brand " it's like a tribute band. They sing the same songs, but it's not the same. The deserts were pure theatre 🎉🎊🎈and seemed good enough to eat. On the start of the video it was chicken Milanaise, but you changed it to chicken mayonnaise on the outtrow. Anyway my opinion, the Ivy has let it's self slide. Allan&Family
Can't go wrong paying £20 for a meal at a nice restaurant.
awww.....u have a sweet daughter.
That meal looked delicious, what a polite beautiful daughter you have x
Fish didn’t look great did it. As for the dirty glass no excuse for that. Great video and your daughter is lovely. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Good price for where you are
