The Dove Inn café is open daily, offering a spacious lounge for both casual dining and special events. Enjoy locally roasted Barista coffee, breakfast, and lunch options, with plenty to choose from.

We bake fresh every day, with gluten-free cakes and scones highly recommended. Our kitchen is entirely gluten-free, attracting customers from near and far.

 

OPENING TIMES

We are a small team that work hard to keep open 6 days (closed on Tuesdays). We publish opening times, but we strongly advise that you book a table, or call us if you are planning to pop in. The number is 01986 511387. 

You can also contact us on Messenger @the-dove-inn-alburgh or via email: info@thedoveinn.co.uk out of our opening hours.

​

Please note! If we have no bookings, to safeguard our energy and to remain financially viable, 

we will close early.

​

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday
Our kitchen is open from 10am - 2pm to close by 2.45pm

 From 3pm onward we are available for meetings, and take bookings for private hire. Private hire and gatherings can be requested on a Tuesday when we are closed to the public.

​

Saturday & Sunday 

Our kitchen is open from 9.30am - 2pm with dessert requests until 2.30pm and close by 3pm

If we are hosting an event on a Saturday evening, we take advanced bookings for food from 5pm - 7pm.

The bar will be open for any event that is advertised, counter food (cakes, crisps & scones) 

are available and the kitchen will re-open if we have enough response.

​

We are unapologetic about our flexible opening arrangements. 

To survive within the hospitality and retail industry we need to allocate appropriate staff 

to the day. If we do not know that you are coming, this is an impossible task. 

Please be kind to our staff if we are busy and things are taking a little longer than expected, 

this will be because we were unable to predict our popularity and have to prioritise bookings and access to our equipment. Certain food and drinks take longer to prepare. We believe that you would rather it be fresh.

Be assured that we will all be working very hard to serve you.

​

When we are open, our bar operates from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (12 noon - 2 p.m. on Sundays). The bar will be open for all of our events and all private hire bookings, with license until midnight.

We serve a wide selection of gluten free beers, ales, ciders, spirits, including zero-and low-alcohol choices. We have also introduced a range of nu-tropic mocktails and larger so that you can experience the 'first sip feeling' without alcohol.

Relax on our outdoor terrace or explore our acre of beautiful gardens, with plenty of seating for guests.

In addition to our core menu, we offer a daily specials board and host food-related events. Whether you’re planning a small party or a large gathering, we provide tailored catering services, including buffets for weddings, events, and special occasions.

The Dove Inn is family friendly, and dogs are welcome in the service area of the café and in the garden.
