"I have been going to the Dove for years and up until now, the food the service and the ambiance were second to none. Now under new management, the service was extremely slow, at a table book for dinner it took 45 mins for the wine to arrive and the bottle was simply placed on the table with some stemless wine glasses, having order a £40 bottle of white I requested glasses with stems but was told they had run out; exit waitress! We had to beg to place a food order and then two of the meals were sent back, the **** au vin consisted of a dried up piece of chicken in a white wine slop and by now, 9pm, the kitchen was closed; a replacement meal of fish and chips eventually arrived after the rest of us had finished our meals. The staff were not suitably dressed for serving food with their bellies hanging out and them constantly pulling down their tops which were riding up to expose their entire stomachs and the glasses delivered to the table where hugged to the said stomach. On ordering a slightly cheaper second bottle of wine, it had a screw top which was not even removed, just dumped on the table! I had invited several friends for my birthday celebration and was totally embarrassed that I had suggested this venue. It was a disgrace and would definitely suggest avoiding it. Such a shame as it is a beautiful old pub in a lovely location on the river. Attached is a picture of 2 of the waitresses."

"Completely spoiled my kid's birthday dinner mood!! This is not the first time that I've been to the restaurant. This time my kid want to introduce Chinese food chopsticks to her friend who is a UK native. When we were seated 3 of these 8 yr old girls as usual chatty type, the waitress came and asked the girls to be quiet. I promise they were not loud at all. While having dinner the birthday girl spill some soup on the table and mostly on the dress, my wife tried to clean it up and the waitress was extremely rude and screaming at my wife saying don't put it on the floor. I was almost going to burst out but cannot as I have 2 other kids with me. While paying the bill I asked the owner to deduct anything for the spill. I politely asked the owner how come the lady waitress behave in such a way with customer. He was being apologetic but the lady waitress (black frame glasses) came again and now argued with me saying she is right that is not the way you clean table. At that time, I do not know what to say or how to react. The owner kept quiet. I am sharing this as this happened before and will happen again as human nature don't change. I somehow missed to check the review. How come the owner allow such waitress on the floor ? It was a disappointing terrible experience !! while end up paying a bill close to 3 digit. I will never go there and never recommend anyone specially with kids. If you are there and this happen to you please do react complain appropriately. I could not do it due to the kids."
