Reviews in Leicestershire

Excellent food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere, very good prices.

I took my partner children and her parents for Sunday lunch as a birthday treat . I chose the bricklayers as I read the reviews and it sounded great and were just down the road . The overall feeling after the meal was disappointment . Even though we tied a birthday balloon to her chair nobody wished my partner happy birthday , not a problem but would have been nice . Service was good and the young lady who served us was polite and friendly . The food came out really quickly after ordering making it seemed rushed . That’s were the problems began . They forgot all of our stuffing balls , another plate had no carrots on and my daughter’s plate was an adult plate which was taken away and brought back as a children’s plate . The beef was lovely and rare but the pork and turkey a little dry . The broccoli was quite crunchy for me and the gravy didn’t have much taste . It was as although the kitchen was under pressure and rushing things . It was such a shame as we were looking forward to it . I didn’t complain at the time as I didn’t want to spoil her birthday . To be fair we have had a previous meal there not a Sunday lunch though and it was great .

Visited with friends on a Saturday night. Restaurant was busy and we did have to wait a while before our food arrived. It was worth the wait, the food was hot (lukewarm food is a particular no no with me) and very tasty. The Service was good with staff checking in to see if we were okay and needed anything. We went to the Dove on the recommendation of a friend, so glad with did.

The pie was delicious, the beef was fine but the pork was a little dry. Overall the visit was pleasant, service good with a good atmosphere.

Best carvery we have ever had at a pub! Great atmosphere and lovely place. Staff very friendly also. Highly recommend

Excellent meal in very pleasant surroundings.

Great food. Lovely service. Nice atmosphere and setting.

Why do we keep going back to The Dove, quite simple really, the quality of food remains consistent whether we go for weekday lunch or dinner, weekend brunch or Sunday lunch we can guarantee the quality of the food. Add to that great service and staff and it has all the ingredients of a wonderful and relaxing meal.

Lovely service - friendly staff and attention to detail . Lovely surroundings and fantastic food

Lovely food and very generous portions. Staff were lovely, even though we brough two very bog dogs with us. Not quiet in our neck of the woods, but definitely see us going again!

Have eaten here many times. Always a warm welcome and we always enjoy our time here.

My wife and I had a lovely Sunday lunch,food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Once again..a lovely meal and welcome. Pricing and quality is still absolutely on point. We will continue to be regular customers here. Thanks guys!

We saw this restaurant advertised on Groupon so went for the first time using the voucher. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The food was good and we will definitely return.

We had Sunday lunch 12.10.25. The food was excellent and the service was very good. It was busy but we didn’t have to wait long for the our food to be served which was hot and fresh. I have been there to eat many times and will always recommend The Dove every time.

Myself and my husband and daughter visited for Sunday lunch . The pub and restaurant were very busy. We arrived a few minutes early. The carpark opposite which is fairly big was full so we parked a little further on . We were asked to wait a bit for our table as it was still occupied. As said very busy in all areas, but plenty of staff. My daughter was 10min late looking for a parking place. . My husband and I ordered Sunday roast and my daughter had a vegetarian dish. We didn’t discuss the meal as we were too busy talking. Not a thing was left on any plate. We decided on a dessert and asked the waitress to decide for us, chocolate something with ice cream. Yum. My husband had cheese and biscuits. Now this was a talking point, it was amazing. Coffee machine had broken so we were offered instant. Oh hurrah! No decision to make. Coffee was actually very good.

Excellent food and service. This was our first visit to the Dove as we were over in Leicester visiting our son at Uni. We received a very warm welcome at the pub on arrival and were treated with utmost courtesy by the staff as we didn't really know where we needed to go (we arrived in the bar and not in the restaurant). Two of our party were allowed to sample guest beers with no question which is a sure sign of a welcoming/friendly pub. We were shown to our table and given plenty of time to make our choices. Service was attentive without being overbearing. We chose a variety of Sunday lunches, and one burger, some also had deserts after the meal. The food was extremely well prepared, hot, and very tasty. We will definitely return.
