Stopped at this pub unexpectedly on the way back from Devon last week. In need of a toilet break and a quick drink, but having stopped in, we decided to stay for a drink and a bite to eat. Nice cosy atmosphere, nice staff - and enjoyed the service / food very much. Would very much like to call in again, when in the area ! HelenHanfe9 - 5 Sep 2013 21:39 |
Stayed overnight at the Dove recently and enjoyed it very much. Nice mix of country pub charm with more decorative restaurant also available. Good food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Accommodation is contemporary and not over fussy. Hearty breakfast. Would definitely go back. uktraveller - 17 Nov 2010 10:03 |
"Obviously a great location on the river"??? What river might that be? The nearest river (the Itchen) is about 3 miles away. Looking at Laura1973's comments I see that she meant another "Dove" altogether (in London). I haven't been here for years (since Patrick left), but have transferred allegiance to The Fox.

I am really surprised by the bad reviews of this pub. I went there on Saturday night (Jan 2010) and thought it was one of the best pubs I have ever been to. Obviously a great location on the river but also a gorgeous cosy old fashioned interior, soft lighting, timbered beams and lovely atmosphere. But what struck me most was the best service I have experienced in a pub for years. Although it was a Saturday night and fairly busy, the guy in charge made sure he found us somewhere to sit, although we weren't eating and hadn't booked. During the course of the evening, he came up with brilliant wine recommendations - suggesting a really nice bottle of Rjoja that was also cheaper than our original choice. Plus this is the only regular pub I've been to which offered a carafe of tap water, unasked, AND to top it all the manager ran after me when I left my scarf. Really can't work out how it could have gone so wrong for those who had bad service here, I was totally charmed by the place, and didn't see an ounce of rudeness throughout. We didn't get round to eating but I would definitely go back and try the food. I hugely recommend this place, try it for yourself. laura1973 - 11 Jan 2010 19:11 |
Went there for a lunchtime pint and snack - there were three real ales on the handles, I had a Bowman Quiver which was in excellent condition and delicious. The place has been extensively changed from when I went there last - it is much better laid out and decorated but the table I sat at had the heaviest wooden dining chairs I've ever found! Service was both friendly, helpful and quick, the soup I had was apple and some other ingredients - not entirely to my taste but others may have appreciated it more than me. I felt prices were reasonable for a gastro type pub which is attached to an AA 4 star hotel. Will try it again next time I visit Micheldever Tyre Depot! Feed - 15 Oct 2009 00:13 |
