The Ivy Lodge Clubhouse at Cirencester Park Polo Club offers autumn menu

The newly renovated Ivy Lodge Clubhouse at Cirencester Park Polo Club has become a roaring success and immensely popular amongst the polo crowd as well as many locals so the restaurant has decided to stay open after polo season to welcome both its regulars as well as those who have yet to experience the exquisite food served by head chef Ethan Rodgers, a locally renowned culinary expert. The response to the reopening of the restaurant for this polo season has been great with so many compliments to the chef and consistently empty plates being returned to the kitchen! A buzzy atmosphere has been enjoyed by all visitors who also had the opportunity to sample the extensive wine and drinks menu.

The Ivy Lodge restaurant is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Cirencester Park just a 20-minute walk from the park gates. Serving one of the best roast dinners around, it's the perfect spot for a cosy meal on an autumnal Sunday walk. Head chef Ethan's philosophy centres around using fine locally sourced produce cooked simply and served in a way that allows the food to speak for itself. Ethan has mastered just that in the dishes served from his kitchen. He has gone through efforts to find a large majority of his ingredients from local sources and he keeps his menus relevant to the season. Every dish is crafted to perfection and is explosive with beautiful flavours and textures.

Ethan has previously been a part of The Lucky Onion group and has worked in many locally renowned restaurants around the Cotswolds, building his own impeccable reputation. At the age of 25 he was awarded with his first AA rosette and Bib Gourmand which shows just how naturally talented he is. He started his career and learnt from the best at some of the most reputable restaurants in London including The Dorchester and The Conrad. He has since worked at some of the best Cotswold eateries including taking over from the founder at Made by Bob's Brassiere, The Bell Inn and The Wheatsheaf (Northleach).

The clubhouse is available to hire for private and corporate functions and events. Ethan designs menus to suit any occasions, from delicious buffets to bespoke high-end cuisine. The team also offer a full event management service where they can transform the restaurant and bar to fit any theme or occasion. The bar can also design bespoke cocktail menus for special celebrations.
