I would very much like to write a review, however I am unable to due to the following : I booked a table for 2:15 on Saturday the 7th of February to celebrate my sister in law's birthday. We arrived on time and stood at the "Wait here to be seated" sign. There was one server dealing with a table so we patiently waited. Then she began running food to another table, then she went back to the first table. (I will note that there were only 2 tables occupied). We had still not even been acknowledged. We stood there for at least 10 minutes, I then deiced that maybe we should go to the bar where there was another server and just make our presence known. That was a joke as that server had her back to us and was making coffee's, she was aware of us but did not even turn around an acknowledge our presence. She then took the coffee's to a table, came back and began making more coffee, still no acknowledgement. Eventually I was now getting a little fed up, I said excuse me and she turned and said "I'll be right with you", she then delivered the coffee's, came back and said "yes?" I explained that we had a table booked, her response was "Go and stand there!" Meaning the "Wait to be seated sign" where we had already stood for 10 minutes. So far we have been in the premises for 20 minutes. We go back and stand and wait to be seated, some time later the server comes over and say's "Sit where you like" we chose a table and sat, then NOTHING. We sat for a further 10 minutes and got up and left. Basically there were 2 members of staff on, clearly they cannot deal with 3 tables and a handful of people in the bar, so maybe more staff on a Saturday afternoon. But I can assure you, after having our birthday celebration ruined, we won't be back.

We went to dove for Sunday lunch but found it disappointing. We ordered turkey as they had ran out of beef. The turkey wasn't fresh carved turkey, it was formed turkey slices which wasn't very nice. The pudding was lovely but won't go back for Sunday lunch im afraid.

We had a fantastic large family meal here on Saturday. They where 16 people, we pre booked and pre ordered the meals. All the meals arrived to the table together and warm which was really good. The staff are attentive and well mannered. The food was lovely.

Always a 5 star service at the Dove! I think me and my husband know the menu back to front! Wing night is always the best, but everything on the menu is a 10! Love the place and the staff are amazing also!x
