About Dovedale Towers

Over the years this famous building has had many incarnations, ranging from a Russian consulate to the church hall where a certain Paul McCartney was once a choirboy and later gigged with his band. In 2009 it finally closed its doors but has been revived as a gastropub, a refuge for both diners and drinkers. It’s a characterful and atmospheric building, a mix of bright open spaces and secluded corners and is the place for good beer, good stories, good music with good friends and all kinds of events and functions. It’s open right through from 12 noon daily (11am at weekends) and there’s live music on Fridays and Sundays and a quiz night on Thursdays. For parties and special events, there’s a special function room space for up to 120 people and special buffet menus available. The main menu offers plenty of choice with sandwiches, salads, wraps and burgers as well as a range of pub classics and homebaked pies.

Although the food was good I thought the staff could of been a lot more nicer. With working in the hospitality industry myself I know it can be hectic, I really thought that the staff could have been a lot more approachable. We were there all day and spent a lot of money yes this was my own decision but when your constantly being ignored and waiting for drinks for 45 minutes when we’ve paid, if they were going to be longer than expected a quick call over to us to say that they was going to take longer than expected. It is a shame that the service was quite poor as I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Really reasonable prices and the food was great! I had £12 steak and it was perfect, nice little touches like well seasoned and plentiful sides, really recommend.

Had a table booked at 7 and planned to have our evening meal but were told the kitchen was closed. Not good enough at a time when bookings are needed so we couldn’t just go elsewhere

Had a lovely meal for my sisters birthday at Dovedale Towers, staff were polite and helpful, food was nice the only thing I would say was that there was too much salt on the chips, other than that very nice. Drinks however were in small plastic cups which were not equivalent to a half pint glass nearly £2 for coke full of ice, which was a little disappointing, 3 mouthfuls and it was gone but I can understand them wanting to make some money back as they have been locked down for so long, All that aside will definitely call again .

Myself and my family chose the Dovedale as our first choice for when everywhere re opens as pre lockdown we often enjoyed going there as we thought it was excellent. I have never been so disappointed, we waited 30 minutes to have our order taken and another 45 for the drinks to arrive, by this point my mum actually got a refund because the wait was so ridiculous and left. I stayed as I wanted to order food as the scouse pie is my favourite, unfortunately I didn’t get it because I was told the wait was too long. Overall I was at the dovedale for 4 and a half hours and only received 3 drinks and a plate of chips which were cold. Also, there were not outside lights turned on and very little communication as to orders as two of our tables drinks were wrong.

The staff at this pub were warm, welcoming and friendly. They really helped to create a great atmosphere and couldn't do enough to help customers. The food was fantastic, very tasty with a great service all round.
