   We came here with a family of 6, the place was lovely, inside was so pretty, with greenery, fairy lights etc, the staff was amazing and so kind and friendly, we came on a monday evening so was quiet, we did have to wait a little for the food to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait, everyone enjoyed there food, the presentation was good, the prices weren’t expensive, per person you’d be looking to spend anything to £16-£25 very happy with our experience definitely would come back again and recommend

   Fantastic food. Incredibly kind and attentive service. A lovely venue and value for money. Can’t ask for much more! The Chocolate Orange Bread & Butter Pudding is by far the BEST dessert I’ve ever had.

   I was so excited when I saw the Chef’s Specials (on Instagram) at The Dove as the N’duja Pasta looked incredible! I was heading over to Oadby anyway and thought what a great excuse to go for lunch and try the special. When I arrived, the girl that looked after me was so kind and welcoming. She was very attentive and gave me ample amount of time to browse the menu before ordering. She was able to tell me some of their mocktails they have on offer, despite not having a drinks menu, and I ordered a Peach on the Beach which was incredible! I didn’t really need to browse the menu as there was only one reason I was there…the pasta. I was so excited and was already having a lovely experience. She brought out my food and I dug in. Now I understand that N’duja has a kick to it but I wasn’t expecting the dish to be as hot (in spice) as it was. The heat kicked in very quickly so I ate the sundried tomatoes which gave a lovely sweetness to the dish. I then tried the chicken to take away from the heat of the sauce, but the chicken had definitely been left on the grill too long (for my liking). I love grilled chicken, but chargrilled is not for me (and it wasn’t stated as this either). The garlic bread wasn’t great either. Overall, I was really disappointed with the meal. To better my experience, I decided to have a dessert as the menu looked fab! I opted for the Lemon Meringue Cheesecake. Two other customers also ordered this so I had high hopes. It looked delicious but as I made my way through, it became too tangy. I love cheesecakes and have only ever had sweet tasting ones. Unfortunately, the cream cheese mixture wasn’t to my taste. After feeling really disappointed, I was quite quick to leave and the waitress sorted me out very promptly. As she was the only waitress manning four busy tables, I didn’t want to hold her up and waste time feeding back about the poor quality of the main dish. I simply paid and left. Altogether, the bill came to £31.65 for a main, a dessert, a mocktail, and a half glass of Diet Coke. Personally, I feel that this was quite pricey for what I received, and in comparison to other establishments that I have visited where I have received far better meals for the same price. I really enjoyed my last two experiences at The Dove so feel really disappointed. I don’t feel that I’ll be in a rush to come back unfortunately. The three stars are purely for the service and in hindsight, I wish I would have tipped the waitress for her impeccable service.

   Went for lunch yesterday for the first time on Valentines Day. Choose The Dove based on other reviews and was not disappointed! Booked in advance and seated in the conservatory, which was warm and full of light. Menu was varied with a specials board too. Food was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. Perfect portion sizes. Service was excellent (a special mention to Leah who was lovely!) Great to find a local pub doing such a good job. Will be going back and recommending to friends.

   Visited for Sunday lunch (first time trying it here) and was so pleasantly surprised. Portion sizes were hearty and the perfect amount to not walk away over bloated and able to actually consider dessert and a good choice on the menu too aside from Sunday lunch options. Staff as always are great and service was quick too. Thanks guys!
