| I have been living in Hanover for 7 years so have seen the evolution of many a pub round these parts. The Dover was a great pub when I first came here and then lost its way for a bit I.E. Got complacent. This changed when Simon took it over. He retained the good staff (Vicky, Craig) and redecorated straight away and made it look lovely inside. They are major players in the local community and have been the catalyst behind all the important events in the area. The pub itself is great with a mix of old, middle and young who all get along drinking ale to beer to wine to jager bombs. The pub has as strong ethos of local organic food on the menu which is highlighted by fact that they have an organic market in the garden which has been a real boast to the area. (However I hear the chef pinches some veg every now and then!!!). This alongside local bands ranging from Irish ,reggae, gypsy, salsa, blues and someone playing spoons one night adds to a great ambience. As you can tell I am fan so give it try but make sure you do not all turn up at once because I still want a seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Gashchops - 12 Aug 2011 15:58 |
| LOVELY ATMOSPHERE, VERGING ON RESTAURANT. INTERESTING SELECTION OF BEERS, SAMUEL ADAMS' BOSTON LAGER IS FORMIDABLE. fOOD IS EXCELLENT QUALITY AND A REASONABLE PRICE. THE ONE HITCH WAS A QUITE LAZY YOUNG BARMAID WITH DARK HAIR BUT THE OTHER GUYS WERE GREAT. robamy - 6 Sep 2010 08:50 |

| Went here last weekend with my girlfriend and had a lovely meal. I don't know of any other place where you've got such a great choice of fresh fish (seems to be what the kitchen focuses on), particularly not in combination with generous portions and reasonable prices. I had a seabass (you get the whole fish baked in the oven) with sauteed potatoes, and my girlfriend decided to try the red fish (served as fillet) with chips. Both were cooked to perfection. The only drawback was perhaps the long-ish wait on a moderately busy evening - but if you want a good, freshly cooked meal, this one's worth it. A highly recommended pub - great food and a good drinks selection. cyb20 - 14 Mar 2009 09:28 |
| Went in monday night with a friend for what was going to be a couple of pints, but 1 look of the menu meant otherwise, we saw the chef and what a lovely man, talk us through the menu and recommended the thai curry. So i had the chicken and my friend had the fish. We where both lost for words, 1 of the best curries we'd ever had, lots of flavours and well presented! As the evening went on the pub got busier buit with both foodies and drinkers. And i hear the owner is a lovely man as well all in all and fine meal 10/10. Will be back soon gastropublover - 9 Oct 2008 16:34 |
