What Glenn J doesn't like about The Dovecote Eatery:
First impressions of the place are good, it’s in a lovely setting. On entering the courtyard you’re greeted by plenty of picnic tables and a slightly drab white gazebo. Food itself was ok. We’d ordered some full English breakfasts. Sadly the food turned up on those awful metal plates with the chipped paint which cheapened the experience. View all feedback. What User likes about The Dovecote Eatery:
the first visit in the dovecote will definitely go back. great service for food, great value also. beautiful setting. had a complete English breakfast that was delicious. if they want to taste their afternoon tee, so they think that another visit can be in order. my new favourite place to eat.
