Good, polite service and delicious food. Tablecloths on the tables were clean as was everything else. The salmon starter was quite a small portion, but the mains were big portions to balance it out. The veg that came with the Sunday lunches was all delicious. Would highly recommend the restaurant.
An amazing champagne breakfast experience at the Dovecote Restaurant and the service was fantastic. We decided to go for something different over a Full English and it did not disappoint. It was the best breakfast we've had for a long time. I did order a mackerel fishcake, with slow roasted tomatoes, but ended up with a fishcake with capers and a poached egg - still amazing. The only negative thing was that the coffee tasted awful and not drinkable, so we left without a hot drink, but with the great food and service, it didn't matter much. If you wanted a latte, cappuccino, etc. there was an extra charge, which I think is extreme given the price per person.
Surroundings / seated area's were very good. Well laid out tables.
Food was excellent 👌
Bit more breakdown on what's in each dish. Some customers don't like lot's of onions
Services was good. Just a bit more attention to empty glasses 🥂 and asking if we want a top up / more drinks.
Superb Sunday Lunch for a birthday celebration. Excellent food, friendly service, lovely atmosphere, and good value for money. Nothing is too much trouble. Been going to the Dovecote Restaurant for many years and I would definitely recommend it to all.
Visited the Dovecote for the first time for afternoon tea. Absolutely lovely and the staff were so nice and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and my husband was delighted to have a second helping of sandwiches!!! We had a lovely relaxing time. The only slight criticism is that the tables are a bit close together and we felt a little bit uncomfortable with that, especially as the couple next to us were not friendly.
I haven’t even had my dessert yet and this placed has blown my head off I’ve had to write this review.
We booked this place by accident and what luck that was as it’s honestly the best meal I’ve ever eaten.
Order the fillet to share and thank me personally later.
I live 300miles away and I will be back
Hats off the the chef.
The champagne breakfast was 10 out of 10. The food was superb, the staff friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. There was plenty to choose from on the menu, something for everyone, and if you had any dietary requirements, those were catered for too. The atmosphere of the Dovecote was relaxed and unrushed. Thank you for a lovely and enjoyable meal.
Daughter arranged afternoon tea for a surprise, was a lovely experience with fresh tea on hand whenever wanted and the cakes and sandwiches were fresh and tasty.
Service was great and the girls were lovely who served us, all round was enjoyable and recommended 😊
My first time at The Dovecote, Morley Hayes (my friend had been before) and we had a lovely evening. The décor is bright and charming, the staff are all friendly, efficient and welcoming. But the best thing – the FOOD! I had the steak and it was perfectly cooked and succulent with a sublime flavour, the same goes for the trimmings and sides. For afters, I had an rich, smooth panna cotta that was sooo, sooo tasty, served with freshly-baked Madeleines. Every element of the meal was considered and composed, the chef definitely knows and their art and practises it expertly. I would definitely recommend The Dovecote if you want a special evening.
My favourite restaurant for 2019 in Derbyshire. Staff are great,food is very good . Overall EXCELLENT.
