This was our first time visiting and it won't be our last. We both had the beef Sunday lunch - wow! The beef was so soft and the roast potatoes were the best that I've ever had. The only slight criticism was that we would've liked a bit more gravy. We didn't have room for dessert, so next time we may opt for the smaller portion. We thought that it was very good value for money.

I had a pleasant lunchtime with two friends and chose Caesar salad off the early bird menu

I came for lunch with a friend . The staff were so helpful and kind (I am disabled and my friend had her baby with her. ).The service and food were excellent. We were not rushed ,but someone came every now and again to check if we needed anything. After the meal we sat in the garden with coffees. A really lovely setting . I shall return.

The service in this place is fantastic. The food quality is beyond words. I also found this is one of the best rump steaks I’ve ever had and it was absolutely huge. I feel like I’ve got my moneys worth.

Had a lovely relaxed Sunday lunch here. It's in a fab spot and the service was friendly, speedy and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely visit again.

Haven't been to the Dove since under new management. Staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The food was amazing, 6 meals and no one had any criticism whatsoever. Will definitely be back.

The food was very good and service also good. However, I had asked for (and I quote) 'Please could we have a table close to back doors as one of our party is disabled and cannot walk far. I can only imagine that your system has AI as it only picked up the word disabled from my request. We had been allocated a table the far side of the room near the disabled toilet. After some discussion we got a table near the door, but your system needs to be a little more flexible. Also I was told on the phone that they were still doing their usual Sunday roast menu. This was not the case and we were forced to pay for a minimum of 2 courses when we only wanted a roast. Not everyone had a big appetite, so maybe bear this in mind for the future.
