Really glad we found this gem of a place on the way to East Midlands airport. Incredible, good quality food from farm to fork. It felt great to support local (including locally made elderflower cordial - you must try it!) and the staff were so friendly. You must go! The food was exceptional and proper nachos.

Finally…. The Dovecote Farm Bistro has reopened🎉 Taken over by the lovely Rob who’s poured his passions into this project. The food is sensational (thai mango salad & chicken skewers are a MUST), the wine is divine. The garden gets the sun all evening ☀️If you’re looking for a country pub, look no further! A hidden dime 🔥
