Last night my East Asian friend was accosted by the landlord who assumed she was hawking dodgy DVDs. I will never spend money in this pub again. What a nasty piece of work that man is.
Read some of the reviews and feel compelled to stand up for this great pub. Whenever I have been in, which is often, the staff are friendly and courteous. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The beer list is like a telephone directory. There is always something new and interesting to try. It is not a place for loud music and drunken groups...but great to take anyone and have a chat and play one of the many free games in the back bar. Lovely place.
What a location! What a truly awful, horrendous and bad tempered Landlord! I paid very hard earned money to be treated appallingly by a thug with an alcohol licence.
I would never visit this pub again and will tell anyone thinking of using it to stay clear. There are SO many good pubs very close by.
It takes year to win a customer but only minutes to lose one - they lost one!
This area is always busy so its great when find a place that is busy but still manages to offer such great quality and service. I went there with a group of friends and they even asked other diners if they would mind moving to accommodate us? We had the sharing Thai platter which was really great and the waitress suggested some cool Begian beers to go with.
All in all it was a really great experience and I really do not agree with the reviews below. It has to be busy for a reason and I know what that is now. Go there and try it for yourself.
Obviously hasn't changed much since 2008 with the negative reviews on here. I went to the Dove with 9 friends - the food was average, but when we came to pay we were treated appallingly by an elderly matriarchal lady. We all paid our share of the bill, but she then miscalculated and accused of us of not paying £45 of our bill- she was rude, obnoxious and sullen and did not have the courage to apologise when she realised that she could not add a bill together. Definitely will not return for food.
I would give 0 star rating to this pub if it was possible. I felt really uncomfortable with the manager standing at the corner like a pimp; he won't let you stand on the pavement if you're not holding a drink. Very rude staff, horrible atmosphere. Avoid at all costs.
As a CAMRA member I go here for the real ale. However I recently went to a FREE beer tasting here with my Dad and it was amazing.
I really don't see how they make money out of this! I tasted over 10 beers and there was even free food.
Stayed on afterwards and had a bit of a hangover next day.Place is buzzing, staff friendly great food.
The manager is extremely rude and unpleasant. The bar staff are arrogant. You really get the impression that customers really aren't wanted. My friends and I have vowed never to go back and urge everyone not to go.
