The Ivy Golden Summer Menu Brings a Taste of Europe to Your Lunch Break

There are some meals you simply don’t want to rush.

The kind where one course becomes two, another round of drinks appears without much discussion and an hour somehow turns into an entire afternoon.

That’s the feeling The Ivy Collection is hoping to capture with its new Golden Summer Menu—a seasonal lunch offering inspired by the relaxed pace and vibrant flavours of a European summer.

Available for a limited time across participating Ivy Collection restaurants, the menu is designed to celebrate the simple pleasure of slowing down, whether you’re catching up with friends, escaping the office for an extended lunch break or making the most of a sunny afternoon.

Inspired by Europe,

Rather than focusing on one specific country, the Golden Summer Menu takes inspiration from the kind of dishes you’d happily order while sitting on a terrace somewhere along the Mediterranean.

Expect colourful ingredients, lighter flavours and classic favourites that feel made for warm weather dining.

Among the starters are Rabbit Croquettes and Chilli & Sesame Glazed Aubergine, followed by mains including Cypriot Halloumi and Brioche-Crumbed Chicken Escalope.

Dessert keeps things reassuringly classic with a Crème Brûlée—a timeless finish that rarely disappoints.

Raise a Glass to Summer

The seasonal menu also introduces a cocktail created exclusively for the occasion.

The Champagne Colada blends rum with pineapple, mango, coconut and lime before being topped with The Ivy Champagne and finished with edible gold.

It’s colourful, playful and unmistakably summery—the sort of drink that belongs on a terrace as much as it does in your Instagram feed.

More Than Just Lunch

Priced from £19.95 for two courses, the Golden Summer Menu offers an accessible way to enjoy The Ivy Collection’s signature surroundings without committing to a full evening dining experience.

Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply looking for an excuse to stretch a lunch break a little longer, it feels like the kind of menu designed for exactly that.

Sometimes the best part of summer isn’t boarding a flight—it’s finding a sunny table, ordering another drink and forgetting what time it is.

The Golden Summer Menu is available at participating The Ivy Collection restaurants until 1 September.
