"This was a special surprise Birthday celebration lunch and the 5 of us were ready to enjoy everything. We skipped starters planning to have puddings later. My Slow Cooked Belly Pork and crackling with a cider gravy, new potatoes, beans and carrots was perfect. Crackling snapped with a satisfying crunch and pork was simply melt in the mouth, gravy was great. Grilled Sea Bass was perfection. An amazingly generous Chicken Club Sandwich with wonderful trimmings went down like a dream and both portions of Fish Chips were declared outstanding. It couldn’t have been improved it was all so good. We decided, with reluctance, that the portions had been so generous we couldn’t think of eating a pudding. I saw the home made baked Cheesecake and it looked and smelled divine. The welcome was excellent and our hosts were all fabulous. They accommodated all our requests and made sure we were all really comfortable. The IPA Pacific was refreshing and well conditioned?? The white Pinot was clean and perfect with the pork and fish and chips and we also shared a couple of bottles of sparkling water. Price was £102 inclusive of drinks. This is my second visit since my previous revue of the Rainbow and Dove. It’s service, food and price were outstanding and I’ll definitely be back."

Fabulous find.after discussing prior to arrival they allowed us to park motorhome in car park overnight. Thankyou Lunch and long overdue catch up with cousin, they eat there regularly and recommend the salt beef sandwich, which was perfect. We returned for evening meal. 1x lamb rump with potatoes and perfectly cooked veg . 1x lasagna husband said very tasty and hot to the last mouthful Would highly recommend Wish we lived closer View menu

Amazing. Didn't look very promising from the outside but it was warm and welcoming. Staff were attentive and nothing was any trouble. Special grilled Plaice was HUGE and so yummy with chips and peas and home made tartare. I felt obliged to further test the menu with a choice of ice creams, not the standard fayre. Mum loved her ham egg and chips and we will most definitely come again if not just to say hello to the lovely black lab who said hello to everyone. Marvellous.

Superb Sunday lunch, the food at the Rainbow Dove just gets better and better. The roasts looked wonderful, but we decided to go a l carte and was not disappointed. My grilled plaice was delicious. My daughter’s Thai fish cakes I’m told were excellent and her partner’s home made steak and kidney pie looked fantastic! Service was very good and attentive. Had a pint of Adnams Lighthouse on arrival, which was spot on. I firmly believe the Rainbow Dove is the best traditional food pub in the area.
