Great pub, near the Cleveland Centre. The beer is decent priced, lovely beer garden, staff are friendly. Would come here again. Never had a meal here so left it blank. View all feedback.

What GR1UK dislikes about Dovecot:

I enjoyed my visit once again. The bar and service were excellent, even though it was quite busy initially due to a home football game. The drink selection was great, and although we didn't have a meal, the food looked appetizing. Overall, a fantastic bar. View all feedback.

We came as a group of ten and had a really good time. Rachel was absolutely fab and made sure that the drinks kept flowing. Food options were really varied. Couldn’t recommend enough! The girlies loved it

The bottomless brunch was fantastic! We went for my husband's birthday and it was absolutely brilliant. Brandon took great care of us and there was no lag in service. The food was also delicious, props to the kitchen team. Looking forward to our next bottomless brunch!

I made a reservation for 8 people originally back in October for December between Christmas and New year and they were very helpful in accommodating us. On the day of the booking I needed to add an extra seat or two due to increase of attendees, they helped me change the booking and nothing was too much trouble for them. We ordered drinks and food at the same time and the food came out in a good time, quicker than we thought. The small plates were amazing and you got quite abit for your money 3 for £15. If your not a big eater then you could share these. The food was amazing, very tasty. The cocktail menu I was good pornstar martini) yum! We stayed for a good 3-4hours and the bar star were brilliant!. Would definitely come again with my work friends. Families are also welcome. Really good night and music was also played later into the day. Thank you again everyone at Dovecot, we will be back x

Rachel was fantastic and made my experience unforgettable. I will definitely be back, as there was not a single flaw. The food was delicious and the menu had plenty to choose from.

We're here last month. we had a nice meal outside on the terrace with beautiful background music. the next day we drank a delicious chardonnay in the inner and talked to the friendly owner. a cozy bar/restaurant with great food and very friendly staff recommended!

Large drink selection and probably one of the best places in middlesbrough for cocktails.

Without a doubt, the best venue in Middlesbrough hands down! Visited on Saturday afternoon, initially for a quick breather a cheeky afternoon drink pre match! After receiving such a warm welcome vibrant atmosphere, we found ourselves indulging in a fantastic range of drinks equally tempting dishes to evoke our appetites, accompanied by a live band inside Not too loud playing all my favourite 90's classics, then ventured into the spacious beer garden which offered Another live band, playing Reggae classics, whilst dancing in the dusky afternoon sun, fair to say if the kids weren't in tow, WE WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT til the early hours! As far as cleanliness, service price... A picture paints a thousand words so they say.. Take a peek.. The Dovecot has set the bar HIGH

Lunch here at a family visit to see stepdaughter at the teeside university. great service with a smile. eating was excellent and very good value for money. I had the great meat feast parmesan and to say it was an understatement. if they don't have a big appetit, they only get the little one. Don't think I'll eat a week.
