    Visited the Dovecote restaurant last night for first time. Will not be returning anytime soon staff we're great and the food was good unfortunately it was like eating in a sports bar a large golfing party. Started off ok then halfway through the evening seemed to have a Presentation playing there Owen Music Cheering and shouting. So Loud that my wife and I couldn't even talk we left with as quickly as we could without tea coffee or dessert. And to top in off my wife has been ill since the early hours .a real shame I definitely wouldn't recommend going.

    Excellent food & service when visiting as a party of 7 for Sunday Lunch yesterday. No hesitation in strongly recommending this venue Dietary restrictions: Adapted the Menu choices to accommodate 1 of our party having a number of food intolerances & another needing to follow a GF diet.

    Visited the Dovecote for the first time for afternoon tea. Absolutely lovely and the staff were so nice and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and my husband was delighted to have a second helping of sandwiches!!! We had a lovely relaxing time. The only slight criticism is that the tables are a bit close together and we felt a little bit uncomfortable with that, especially as the couple next to us were not friendly.

    An amazing champagne breakfast experience at the Dovecote Restaurant and the service was fantastic. We decided to go for something different over a Full English and it did not disappoint. It was the best breakfast we've had for a long time. I did order a mackerel fishcake, with slow roasted tomatoes, but ended up with a fishcake with capers and a poached egg - still amazing. The only negative thing was that the coffee tasted awful and not drinkable, so we left without a hot drink, but with the great food and service, it didn't matter much. If you wanted a latte, cappuccino, etc. there was an extra charge, which I think is extreme given the price per person.
