Reviews of Dower House

It's Sunday night and I'm at a loose end and still trying out the various local restaurants having only moved back into the area recently. The venue was busier than I expected (always a good sign) and I was soon seated. Service was steady (not slow but occasionally things took a little longer than they should) but it was clear they had staff training that evening. Always polite though. My meal was OK. My starter was not amazing but nothing wrong with it either. My main, although tasty seemed lacking in spice. Again, nothing wrong but nothing to set my world on fire. But it wasn't cheap. I have had much better curry for less money in recent months so it just felt slightly over priced especially given the location hence a solid 4 stars. So I may well return and if you are in Bawtry, it's the best curry I have had in the town to date so you won't be disappointed.

I love the curry's 🍛😋 at Dower House! I visited on a Thursday night recently, a small group of 3, around 18:45, there were a few tables available and it filled up towards 8pm. I booked online 💻 and it took 24 hours before they replied. So I'd say if you wanted to make sure you're booked in contact the restaurant and book 📖. You enter through the side door 🚪and arrive at a check in desk, if nobody is there continue through and left onto the bar and they'll seat you from there. A nice pint of kingfisher 🍺 We had a couple of poppadoms each and a pickle tray, it was all really fresh and the lime pickle was easily the best I've had in ages! 💯 I had Chicken Dansak for main, a nice sweet curry 🍛 😋 and some pilau rice and a garlic chapati (not on the menu but they were happy to make it - it was really garlicky 🧄🧄🧄 🤩) It all tasted great 😃 We all had a starter and a main, + 1 garlic naan, 1 rice 🍚 1 chapati - 2 pints 1 pint of coke and we had white coffees ☕ to finish. It came to just over £100 which I felt was reasonable for the quality and service. The place was clean and tidy and the staff were all friendly 💪👍🤩 My photos didn't come out very well, I only managed the starter! Pakora photo, which tasted great. I can't wait to go back again 😍

We ordered for a group of family and friends as a takeaway from these guys-they went out of their way to be helpful and managed me calling and changing and rearranging things a few times - will definitely use them again as the quality was fantastic - everything was well balanced and fresh, and left a “curry savvy” group of folks all singing the praises of both portion sizes , flavour and quality of ingredients. Impressive. It rounded off a great day for everyone. Thank you!!

NIce place to visit and has quite a few free parking bays but there doesn't seem to be any Blue Badge spaces. The inside is tastefully decorated. The the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, atmosphere was relaxed, the background authentic music was at a level where you could converse with ease. Good menu to chose from with reasonable prices. Our party of 12 was attended to in a timely fashion, the staff appear to be a well oiled chain! People that smoke may find it disapointing that there doesn't seem to be a covered smoking shelter. Wheelchair users would find it challenging to navigate inside. Toilets are on first floor which is OK for the fit and able :-) Everyone in our group enjoyed the food, no compliants.
