Dovecote Restaurant

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.

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.

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.

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.
