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.

Not a pub I've frequented for quite a while and i'm sure its changed hands many times over the years. It has a rustic and pleasant interior and a spacious outside area with parking for a good number of cars. It was well organised following Covid guidelines and we felt quite safe as everyone followed the designated protocols. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Food was pretty average and as expected for a Pub, but we were there for socialising rather than the gastronomic experience, and suited our purpose well.

We booked a table for 12 o’clock, got there about 11:50 and was told to sit in the beer garden and wait until they opened, which was fine we were early. The beer garden however was filthy. All of the glasses from the night before still on all the tables, full ash trays, lemons and crisp packets on the floor it was just a mess. 12 o’clock someone came out with a brush and started to brush up, asking us to pass him the rubbish from under our table! Still no one came to seat us or acknowledge that we had a table booked. Another lady was sat waiting too and she was just as annoyed as us. In these circumstances I’m sorry but the mess from the night before should be cleaned straight away. It’s not acceptable to turn up to your booking and sit in last nights mess, so obviously no cleaning had been done! We got up and left at about 10 past 12 and certainly will not be going back!

This was my first time going to the Dovedale towers and I certainly won’t be going back. The place itself is nice, clean and modern... however the food and waiting staff were diabolical. Took over 40mins to get the drinks we ordered (one pint and a bottle of cider). While I appreciate everyone is getting used to the new way of eating out post corona virus, there was hardly anyone sat inside, so the place wasn’t full, even with social distancing I don’t see how it could have taken so long. We ordered food which took over 2 hours to come. The waitress was unbelievably rude when we asked how long our food would be after 90 minutes,. Then when then food came it wasn’t what we ordered. The waitress stood there repeating what was in the box over and over again as if we couldn’t see what she had brought us. However that doesn’t change the fact it wasn’t what we ordered. Mistakes happen but she snatched it back and stormed back to the kitchen as if we were lying, she returned 10 mins later with the food we ordered. However it was burnt, cold and as dry as the Sahara. The food o had ordered had lost all warmth and was also as dry as anything mu the time we both had our meals so we ended up eating a few chips, thowing it in the bin and going home. I could of forgiven the food and drinks taking an age if the waitress was polite, I understand she was busy but at the end of the day her attitude was unacceptable. Won’t be going back, would rather eat a burger from maccies.
