The Dove, Hammersmith

The Dove has landed and it was a pleasant surprise! We left a nearby pub/ pizza joint a tiny bit earlier, honestly feeling a bit hangry. The 'rules' for their OMFG pizza wasn't communicated to us clearly so we spent about two hours waiting for God's mercy. We were not served any food though we've been buying pints and pints. Feeling disappointed because of that bad experience, it's really wonderful for us to find the Dove. We were seated right away for a beautiful Sunday roast. Was it earth shattering good? It wasn't, but it's delightful and enjoyable. The waitress was courteous and prompt with the service. The food was beautifully presented and delectable. It was a pleasurable experience and we'll definitely recommend the Dove to our friends.

Amazing place by the water. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. I always recommend this place when I come to London in the Hammersmith area. really wished I took pics of the fish and chips. make sure to go during good weather so that you can sit outside to enjoy the river and fresh breeze whilst planes land on runway 27 in Heathrow from above

Very delicious dinner here. I normally have a rule not to order steak in a pub as it can be very unpredictable. The day I came for dinner I was craving steak so buckled and gave it a shot. The Steak was EXTREMELY good, perfectly Medium Rare with a lovely flavour and crust. Peppercorn sauce was also good as were the other sides. Excellent wine list as well. Lovely atmosphere in particular the riverside seating.

Monday night is the way to go if you want an intimate and cosy feel in this classic place. Would be awesome if we could order using qr codes, else I can see long ques during busy times. Some starters were a hit and miss. Didn't do any meals. Will def be here again to get the classic nostalgic feeling.

The atmosphere was relaxed, calm and welcoming on this sunny Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, the pub was busy in the main bar and on the back terrace.

Beautifully located, traditional cozy enterieur, we loved this pub. I was there for dinner with two work colleagues, it was raining heavily but we were lucky to still get a table without a reservation. We were served a tasty and crispy Fish&Chips by a friendly and attentive waiter, actually the entire service crew was great. I'll definitely come back the next time when I am in Hammersmith.
