The Dove, Bethnal Green

This used to be a very nice pub, and still serves good, but slightly expensive, food and beer. But the Manager either needs to be fired or change his attitude before he drives away all the pub's custom.
We went as a large group yesterday evening, and the manager practically refused to serve our group because there were too many of us, even though we had booked a table for that number.
We were frequently told to be quiet, even though we were only talking. Another table argued with the manager because they were also told to be quiet, and were thrown out by the man. Weird.
When we asked whether they were having problems with neighbours or the council, he told us they weren't, but they marketed themselves as "a quiet pub", so we had to be quiet.
TO BE AVOIDED until the Management changes.
