Food looked great, but didn't eat. Not set up for a quick pint, it's a food pub. Felt a bit in the way .Wine was very good. Crisps out of date and stale.

No words can sufficiently describe the Dove!Incredible food, the flavours were absolutely superb. 3 courses of excellent food. The service was friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. Lovely atmosphere, well styled.Highly recommended and can’t wait to go back.

Vegetarian options: Literally everywhere else does a beetroot wellington, we phoned before our visit and spoke to the chef who made my wife a gorgeous little nut roast ?Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions maybe could have been labelled a little clearerWheelchair accessibility: The restaurant itself is an old public house, I would not recommend taking a wheelchair user as it is quite small and cramped in the main bar and would be difficult to get into as there is a steep step up.

Called in to this beautiful country pub on spec hoping for a light lunch, mid way through a woodland walk with our dog Barney, and received a warm and friendly welcome. We were very luck that a table for two was available and we were served the most gorgeous soup from a spectacularly tempting menu. The absolutely stars of the meal though were the bread rolls home made, stuffed with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, completely delicious with home made butter. We will be back, and with a reservation next time.

Food, drinks and service were excellent. I would highly recommend as a wonderful venue with fantastic food and service
Visiting Canterbury to see family, I was recommended The Dove by a colleague, and boy it didn't disappoint. Excellent food, superb service and wonderful atmosphere, only wished I lived closer as I'm sure I'd be a regular customer.Vegetarian options: 2 excellent choices for vegetarians

Amazing roast beef dinner! Portion size was perfect and the beef was so tender and tasty. The Yorkshire was excellent and such a good portion of veg (all cooked to perfection!). The chocolate sponge pudding was gorgeous and the selection of drinks was great. Lovely experience can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely lovely pub in the middle of gorgeous countryside near Canterbury. Small, but homely. Excellent set lunch menu @ £33.50 even on Saturdays. Our food was copious and delicious, the staff kind and helpful. Not sure about their choice of wines by the glass, but otherwise a great time was had by all. Recommended.

Excellent food and service. I had the sweeet potato and sweet corn chowder with home made gluten free bread which was the best bread I've had, the lamb and lastly local cheese. All fantastic.

This is our go to place when we have friends visiting or when we fancy a great eating experience. We’ve never had a disappointing meal here. The friendly atmosphere, with a touch of understated class is second to none. The menu changes every 6 weeks so it’s easy to be a repeat customer. 100% recommend The Dove.
