The opening of the new eatery will also see the launch of a Christmas partnership with Kids Company, which is set to generate significant funds and encourage donations of gifts to help vulnerable inner city children and young people.
For many children, the Christmas period can be a time of devastating loneliness and despair. This year, with rising levels of poverty, too many children face waking up on Christmas Day without a hot meal or warm clothes and without a single gift to open. With this issue in mind, The Ivy Market Grill has teamed up with the Kids Company to offer all diners the opportunity to give a gift to a child who may not receive one this year.
As a thank you to all those who do bring gifts when visiting the exciting new London restaurant, The Ivy Market Grill will offer the donor complimentary ice cream with lashings of hot chocolate sauce to enjoy at the end of their meal. Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of Kids Company, said; “’I am so happy Kids Company is partnering with new restaurant venture The Ivy Market Grill this Christmas. With the support of the Secret Santa present donation and the generosity of the restaurant’s customers we can make Christmas a truly magical day for vulnerable children and young people across the city.â€Â
The Ivy Market Grill opens to the public on Monday, 24 November 2014, with the booking lines opening on Monday, 17 November (although half the tables will be assigned to “walk-insâ€Â).
