Dovorian Restaurant in Dover

Not the first time i have been in here but will be the last. Always loved the "real fish and chip shop vibe" now it's cold beans and frozen skinny chips.

Wanted panninis that were not available so ordered chicken and bacon bagettes. The worst meal I have ever had. The chicken was small, cubed and a very odd colour. Very weird taste. Looked like cat vomit!! The chips were ordered and got forgotten, had to wait for them, they were tasty though. Will not be returning ever.

Popped in for a milk shake and had breakfast as well. The eggs were not cooked fully, bacon very salty. The drying cloth, which was being used to dry the cutlery, looked very dirty, and then it was used to wipe the coffee machine.

Dreadful over priced and inedible such a shame paid a lot for this that we really could not eat due to being undercooked they should look at wat they serve

Come here every week, usually between uni and work. Food is always good and presented the same every time. Hard to find local places that are consistent. Staff always pleasant, Max (manager) and Mia know the order now so all I have to do is walk in. Always greeted with a smile and always up for a chat which is nice. All round great place to visit if travelling through dover. 5-10 minute walk from the seafront so good location too

Nice cheerful staff, all tables socially distanced and nice and clean. Had a lovely breakfast, food was piping hot and the meal was good value for money.

Really good little place not been in for months with the lock down, great value always tasty would recommend

Went in for coffee. 2 white coffees arrived, which we hadn't ordered. Asked for 2 cappuccino. We got same coffee with few sprinkles of chocolate. Not good practice at any time. Wont be revisiting.⁰

a lovely place. clean. love the food and the service is awesome and nothing is to much trouble. I was looked after as always and when my wife comes with me we are looked after.

customer service was disgusting. I will not be returning. We was told to stand outside in rain and wind to be seated as didn't have masks, but have face covered! We were happy to do so. Waited 15 minutes to then be sent away.

Got there told 30minute delay as computer down, having to use pen & paper, wiped table down with dirty smelly cloth, so the table smelt, only wiped table coz I asked them to, took 15 minutes to take order, wanted salmon omelette no salmon, so ordered cheese & onion, 5mins later no onion, so had cheese,should have had extra cheese as paying for double portion.it was not. when it arrived food was OK.very disappointed, staff not keeping distance from customers. Not impressed,

Stopped in for a quick meal after getting off the train. Had a great meal of fish and chips and a brew. Service was quick and staff was polite. Local food made by locals.

Lovely place always clean and tidy, staff are polite as ever, and the food is Delicious. and good prices too. I would highly recommend this place.

Returned to England after 2 months backpacking. Breakfast to die for. Even got offered chips with it! Wouldn't hesitate to return. Friendly, welcoming, clean. Feel like going back to Dover just to have breakfast again. Huge thank you.:-)

I don’t honestly believe there is any need for food to be cooked on a dirty grill & being an early morning visit when the cafe was very quite , the visual appearance of the bacon and unclean tables caused confusion . I didn’t eat & wont be returning . Food hygiene rating displayed made this cafe very appealing as it is 5 . Unfortunately food didn’t meet this expected standard.

We visited this local eatery when in town recently. All food ordered with nicely presented and cooked well. All staff on duty were helpful. Good value for money and something for everyone on menu

This place serves the best cooked breakfast in Dover.Bar none! The staff are friendly; the food is great; and the service is fast!

Went to this cafe during my recent trip to Dover. Went in for lunch with my wife. We were promptly seated. The staff is pleasant and efficient. I ordered fish and chips while my wife ordered a burger. The service was quick. Food was good and portion sizes were generous. Went in again today for breakfast. The place was packed probably due to the bank holiday crowd or maybe it indeed is a popular place. Hats off to the 3 waiting staff managing the hustle and bustle. As for the food .my Dovorian omelette was good but not special for the extra price. My wife's omelette was good and just right for the price. The complimentary coffee/juice with breaksfast is a pleasant change from the usual London practice of charging customers for every possible thing. Would definitely go there again if I visit Dover.

Visited Dover Castle and wanted Fish n Chips afterwards, the pub l had chosen had closed their kitchen (was about 3pm in fairness), wanted around for a bit without success and was just about to venture into Wetherspoons when a guy outside a pub mentioned Dovorian. Food was lovely, reasonably priced, the staff were excellent (friendly/hospitable) and the place was vlean as a whistle....Thank you Dovorian

Both my kids didn't eat the burger. didn't taste well and had lots bones inside. My daughter got sick from the Blue Cheese burger

Ate here for the first time owing to my usual cafe being shut for the weekend.Did not know what to expect and I have to say I was quietly pleased. I built my own 4 item breakfast with tea and bread and butter for £4.20.I also have to say that that tea at these places can be fairly average, however I enjoyed both my mugs. Tasted like tea !The quality was fine and the service very good.Nice 1st breakfast and I’ll happy return to the Dovorian.

Popped in for breakfast with a friend and was disappointed, bacon was greasy and undercooked, snotty white on the egg, poor sausages, tinned mushrooms, and all swimming in grease, do I need to go on, needless to say I didn’t eat it and when I said it was disgusting and wouldn’t be eating it the owner told me ‘that’s the best quality food you can produce’ get a grip mate, a drunken 2am kebab is better than that.

Great value breakfast and large portions. Free parking to 09:30. Great for those early ferry crossings. Fab staff and very quick service too. What more to ask for. Certainly set me up for the day ..!

Once again, not disappointed having food here. Excellent menu choices with very good prices, great size portions & such quick service.

We went to Dover with my family. We all had fish and chips here which was very nice. There was a lady in the counter who was very polite and friendly too, she offered ice cream for the kids free to go with the children’s meals which was lovely. This is a great place to go also spacious. I would recommend this place if going to Dover to eat out.

I went for take away fish and chips and they were good size portions. I feel the potatoes need a kick of freshness but other than that was a good option in Dover. Will go again.

Medium Cod, Chips and Mushy Peas a snip at £6.20 and a large mug of tea at £1.25 is a bargain these days. The batter on the fish was nice and crispy and there were more than enough chips. Handy for the railway station too.

J'y vais régulièrement lors de mes passages à Douvres. Carte bien garnie mais je prends toujours le fish and chips qui est copieux et goûteux. Le service est rapide et très agréable. N'hésitez pas y aller si vous en avez l'occasion.

A great place to go for your all day breakfast they know how to fill a breakfast stick GOOD VALUE TOO!

Friendly, cheap good value good sized meals- with extras thrown in for free.

Four of us ate here , all got fish & chips, Was really nice.

Breakfast is fantastic. Lunch and tea also available. Lovely fresh chips this has become few and far between. Pleasant staff always accommodating. Outside area and inside. Friendly Dover people to talk to will help you with anything you need to know.

This is a very good Restaurant. If anyone who stops in Dover in Kent in the UK, try it and you will not be disappointed.

Breakfast at the Dovorian, good value, polite and helpful staff, good fresh food and plenty of choice.

I often use the Dovorian restaurant, always great service, order taken within minutes of sitting down, food ready and served in about 10 minutes, all round great service and great tasting food, highly recommend to anyone!

Mi sono recata per caso in questo ristorante. Ho preso la big english breakfast (due uova,due salsicce, 2 fette di bacon, piselli/pomodori e toast) con aggiunga gratis patatine fritte accompagnato dal the. 7£ per tutta questa bontà! Volendo c'è anche la versione più piccola. Disponibili prese per caricare il cellulare. Personale molto cordiale.

Popped in for lunch nice friendly staff found table all clean tidy plenty choose from.on menu great value the food is delicious ham.egg chips perfect. Kids cid chips perfect.brealfast fry up perfect kids chicken cheese chips perfect no.empty plates but ..... PLEASE YOUR STAFF SHOULD NOT START CLEARING PLATES WHEN NOT ALL OF US HAD FUNISHED... very very offputting felt rushed pushed out... one of us had to stop staffs hand taking babys plate as still munching along slowly..

What a lovely little restaurant very friendly staff great food and good prices. Whether its for a meal or just meeting friends for a coffee its a little gem of a place

Worst breakfast ever cheap sausage bacon rubbery can't go wrong with beans and tomatoes.asked for toast but might aswell have had bread and butter...and they only serve tea their way disgusting.way over priced won't be going back

Often go there for breakfast and the choice and quality of food is good. Prices very reasonable, less than a fiver for breakfast with a cuppa, and happy to cook the food as you prefer it. Do lots of other options, but I always end up with breakfast even mid afternoon as I know I will enjoy it

Not very happy with the food today. Every person at my table received their food 5 minutes apart. When my food came out my beans were near to freezing cold and whilst I waited a further 5 minutes for my toast to come out at which point my beans were freezing cold which ruined my meal. Also understaffed and although the staff are quite pleasant it may be the reason as to why me and my table received such poor standards of food.

Had to stop by in Dover, thought we go for lunch somewhere. There's not much around the town but this was a pleasant find at the corner.

A decent enough restaurant, food is nice especially the chicken burger which I recommend highly. The service is fine. Only problem its a tad on the expensive side! But overall worth a visit if you're not too strapped for cash.

Me and my partner love the food here, the prices are so cheap. We usually go for the build your own breakfasts so we can have what we want and it's very good value for money. The service is sometimes a bit on the slow side but it's expected with student staff, the waitresses are often polite and apologetic if they forget something or make mistakes however.

The two waitresses were handing out menus as soon as people came in on a rainy pre Christmas lunch time. The drinks are provided first, mine being a can of coke with glass. The cod or other fish can be medium or large, but I think the chips stay the same. A lemon, tartare sauce and other sauces are available, The sweet menu on the wall has some filling crumble but you can ask for a glass of vanilla ice cream. .No one was sitting outside while inside there are tables for two or four. Pay at the counter and you can be on your way inside half an hour. Most people probably ask for the breakfast combinations, and I did not notice a roast with vegetables on the menu, but it was long enough and service prompt. The question re prices is ambiguous but prices are towards low. Complaints are read by the owners and answered.

店名がどうにも不味いご飯を出しそうな雰囲気を醸し出していますが、あにはからんや、注文したChill con carne with rice and cheeseがちゃんと美味しくて驚きました。

Came here a few days ago, sat outside and waited over 15 minutes to be served, 2 of the waitresses actually came out and looked straight at me but then went back in again! When I was served, however, the food arrived quickly and was great (especially for the price) so no faults there.

Lovely food.fish was devine.chips were well cooked.all hot.including the plate and saucers it was served with.thoroughly enjoyed the meal.not my first visit.but wont be my last

this has been a very popular cafe for years and gets a lot of passing trade, it has a nice seating area outside which is mainly used by smokers, but when its nice have often sat outside due to it being full inside, the service is good depending how busy it is on how long food takes. nice varied menu of all sorts,also has a take away service.its clean and bright and a good view out to watch the world go by. does cater for OAP's for cheap meals.always pleasant staff and very helpful

I do visit quite often but today i fancied fish so i chose a cod father . Wow it was huge struggled to eat it all but it was so tasty and not at all disappointed xxxx

Been to the dovorian now for a proper fry up brilliant......... always freshly prepared and loads of it. Staff are great and prices are reasonable I and my mates recommend it.....

Whilst staying in Dover my wife and I needed to Launder clothes at the Mangles Laundrette.

Love this place for both the food and the service. If you want to sit outside when there is no table free they'll add one for you!

Una tavola calda, menù abbastanza vario, servizio molto veloce e cordialissimo. E soprattutto, considerando che si parla della GB, molto economico! 5/5 perché, pur non essendo sicuramente il posto migliore in cui abbia mangiato, ho trovato un'atmosfera buona e promette esattamente quello che mantiene. Cibo discreto da paninoteca/frigittoria, velocemente.

Delicious meal served quickly by very friendly staff.Very good value and inexpensive. I had the all-day breakfast omelette (bacon, sausage, mushroom and cheese) and chips.

We enjoyed our Fish and Chip supper and would visit again.

One of my favorite place in Dover, you cannot find better full english or fish&chips;, but I would recommend to try the others too: amazing chicken salad, chicken burger, jacket potatoes. The staff is very nice and friendly, and prices are reasonable too. They also serve breakfast after 12 hooray! :)

ideal pour manger rapidement un fish and chip bon service assiette garnie rien a dire pour une restauration rapide

I have always turned my nose up at the Dovorian, and that has been a mistake. Was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The guy who served me was very nice and helpful, the breakfast is superb value and you can have coffee OJ and additional black pudding. The food was v good the coffee not so much. But this is above many of the other cafes in the range and is slightly better than a joes cafe. And score high with its great panoramic views of Dover on the go. This should be a go to breakfast venue.

Looking from the outside and walking in I thought "grubby old fashioned cafe".

Se siete alla ricerca di un posto senza pretese per una mezz'ora, ai sto è il posto giusto. Una sorta di tavola calda all'americana con servizio gentile. Se avete più tempo andate altrove. Panino col pollo discreto. Buone chips. Conto economico.

I went in here for the first time to meet a friend , was busy place , they did a variety of food from cooked breakfast to dinners, sandwiches etc , they had a special of muffin with scrambled egg and salmon , was delicious and very reasonably priced at £3.25

Best ribs since Pittsburg Rib Festival 2014...great value for money...very tasty, wholesome food and lovely staff. Left feeling 100% satisfied

Went with my friends for breakfast. The cafe itself is nice and airy we each had an alk day breakfast there are plenty of options and the staff are very accomodating of any changes you want to make. The breakfast was really good and not too greasy. £12 for 3 adults was a very reasonable price for a yummy meal. Definitely recommend

I thought I'd hate sitting next to a roundabout....but it was a fantastic place to people watch! I had white hot chocolate and, as I said in the title, nom nom nom!! The breakfast was good too.

Bloody fantastic bloody bloody excellent. I love it loads and loads. It's like sunshine and flowers. They are simply beautiful

Good range of food, plenty of choice, served hot and quickly except my baked beans were cold..... it's just a shame a couple of the staff seem to be quite abrupt,

I must highly recommend this fabulous restaurant. The breakfast has to be the best in Dover. The food is freshly cooked, there is a choice of set breakfasts or choose your own. The cost is inexpensive and supreme value for money. The staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and polite. The black pudding and bubble made the breakfast extra special. I strongly recommend this restaurant and say a massive thank you to everyone at the Dovorian.

Always use the dovorian these days! Most consistent brekkie anywhere in town! Always friendly service and you're always served quickly!

If this is somewhere you are wanting to take children then think again....the manager obviously doesn't like children & is extremely rude. I feel sorry for the poor staff that have to work there. Will not be visiting the dovorian again

Nice little place, staff was nice and took quick care of us. We sat outside and were able to park the motorbike right our front. The fish was abit "wet" and the tartar sauce was from a packet. Regardless, it was not bad for a lunch

Very clean, value for money cafe. Great owner and staff know exactly how to run a good cafe. The sausages are to die for. Where do they come from??? I dare anyone to say otherwise. If your in town Pop in. Trust me! 😄

Ok so went here the staff looked like they didn't even want to be there they were huffing about one of the lady's didn't even have any answers to questions yet worked there apparently.... There was a group ofbus with 3 little kids we wanted to sit outside they had a moan because we asked to put the tables together then complained when they got the order wrong we left and went somewhere else that was very nice

Good value for money, yummy food, busy and friendly atmosphere. I hadn't even meant to go here really, but was craving a fatty, hot breakfast. The Dovorian did not disappoint at all and as well as serving delicious sausages and eggs I got good value for money and service with a smile.

I ate here today before the Dover vs Palace game and had an all day breakfast This is a traditional cafe how they all used to be. The food was really nice and great service, and the place was clean. I will come back

heb 4 dagen in dover overnacht en heb meerdere malen in dit etablissement gegeten. Engels ontbijt is van opening tot sluit beschikbaar. we kwamen er met 6 personen binnen en er werd vriendelijk aan een koppel die een vier persoons tafel had gevraagd of ze wilden verplaatsen naar een tweepersoons tafel. geweldig snelle service en heel zacht geprijsd

I'm American, living in France, and in love with England -- so I visit as often as I can. Each time I take the ferry to Dover, and each time as soon as we arrive, it's to the Dovorian for breakfast! I love that there's a full English that's vegetarian and I think the food is great and the atmosphere as well. My only complaint is that the staff is never very friendly to us (perhaps it's because we're not locals?) but there is an older man (a regular perhaps) that's always so friendly to me every time we go (I get confused each time about finding the bathrooms) and he points me in the right direction and waves goodbye when we leave. He's lovely. And I think regardless of staff, we'll always stop for breakfast, it's become a nice tradition. The food is good, well cooked, there's a lot to choose from and it's incredibly fair priced!

Went in on tuesday morning with my mother-in-law after shopping. We ordered english breakfast, food average the only thing non edible was the bacon. It was over cooked slightly and also our tea had bits from the tea bag floating on top of the mug.

Repas très médiocre et personnel peu aimable. Je déconseille vivement ce restaurant si vous prenez votre przemier repas en angleterre ! préferez les pub !!

À chaque fois que je vais à Douvres je fais une halte pour prendre mon petit déjeuner au Dovrian . C est un vrai petit dej britannique très bon , copieux et bon marché . Les fish ans chips sont très corrects également par contre je n ai rien essayé d autre à ce jour mais étant donné l affluence qu il y a dans cet établissement ce doit être bon aussi .

ファミレスみたいな店内です。アルコール類は置いてあるものの、瓶や缶飲料がメインではないかと思い、オレンジジュースを頼みました。

ive had breakfast in the dovorian many times,but have never been in dover late enough for lunch there,but today 18/09/14 i was and it was every bit as good as the breakfast!! it was very busy but the friendly staff took the order {we sat outside}very quickly,when the food arrived it was very tasty and plentiful,and offered very good value for the money!

Had a long day out at Dover castle popped into this place not expecting much food wise but had a brilliant meal. Three of us had cheeseburger and chips. Meal size was brilliant for the money, food was delish. Hubby and son had a nice cream for pudding and I had the best latte I have had to date, lovely and hot and really creamy

Not awful but not the best greasy spoon "caff". If going for price alone then great value although I would be happy spending half as much again and going for quality.

A place just off the main street which has been with the present group since 1966 and existed in 1900 according to a photo on the wall. Inside seating for pairs, or four or more on wooden seats, or outside under a canopy. Out there you will see plenty of dock bound left hand drive lorries but the space is cordoned off from passing pedestrians. Four menus available, the children's one costing £4.20 for a main course plus fruit shoot or milkshake, I had 3 sausages and mash with a choice or garden peas or beans, and a boat of gravy. Hot sweets are between £2.90 and £3.50 such as rhubarb and apple crumble with cream, ice cream or custard. Apart from the usual soft drinks and beverages they are fully licensed and an array of Kissing tree drinks were in a cabinet. Pleasant staff and rapid service made me ask why I'd overlooked them so long..

Ikzelf heb 'n heerlijke hamburger gehad. M'n collega's fish&Chips; en Spare ribs was allemaal even goed!

We frequent the Dovorian regularly and find the Management and staff extremely friendly and professional and will go out of their way to accommodate all customers wishes, we had some members of our family down for the weekend so there was a large group of us, the service was great, the drinks came first and then the food which arrived all together and was very enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I have in the past visited regularly, however todays visit was my last. I brought my 10 year old son for lunch (as we do every Thursday). We ordered our drinks and food, and the staff were very accommodating; we received our drinks in good time. My son; who is autistic; has certain 'stims' that help him to cope in stressful situations (he often bounces, rocks, makes sounds and flaps his arms). His tea had a little too much milk in it so in an effort to improve his social skills I told him if he would like it changed he could ask the waitress, which he did (a big achievement for him!) and the waitress was brilliant, and brought him a cup of tea with a little less milk. He then began his bouncing, and making his noises (we live with this every day but I am aware that some people may be annoyed by a loud child) so I was just about to ask him if he would like to go outside for a while (so his 'stims' did not upset the other customers and he could have some time to regulate his behavious) when another customer sat a table across from us shouted (loudly) at my son saying "OI YOU! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" I sat in disbelief as I calmly asked this customer if he was speaking to my son (who at this point was terrified, close to tears and had a look of utter confusion on his face). The insolent, discriminatory customer said "yeah I am! Why does he have to jump? Why can't he sit like a normal person?" to which I responded "he is autistic, and you don't speak to someone elses child in that tone ever anyway!" My very distressed autistic child was by this point unable to cope anymore, and knowing that we were heading for a total meltdown I suggested we leave and eat lunch elsewhere. I went to the counter to cancel our food order and pay for the drinks (although we hadn't drunk them). When I told the member of staff at the counter (Dee) what had happened he was very accommodating and apologized, however the manageress then made her appearance and informed me that my food was cooked so we would have to stay and eat it, or pay for it. I reiterated what had happened and she responded with "if you don't pay for the food then we will not serve you in here again". I simply looked on in disbelief that we were being discriminated against because my son is disabled and I wasn't willing to pay for the food which we had not even been served! Obviously I will not be returning to this establishment (we wouldn't be welcome even if we did) and I would most certainly advise anyone considering visiting here to try somewhere else instead. The food is okay but nothing amazing, the staff are good (couldn't fault them) but the manageress is rude, discriminatory and I have been left feeling angry, upset and taken aback that in the 21st century people can still be so narrow minded and prejudiced. Avoid at all costs! nb. Should also mention the fungus growing around the sink in the ladies is also rather off putting, but was, in fact one reason my son liked going to this cafe (he is fascinated by different fungus!).

Fish and chips was great well cooked good staff great service at a good price. Parking was an issue but we'll worth the walk.

Never felt so insulted in my life. Took my wife out for lunch and the restaurant was busy. Just sat down and was looking at a menu and was asked if we would mind moving if a group came in. Unbelievable! Did they really expect us to move halfway through out meal? Yes they did. So we politely declined and will never step foot in the place again. Neither will any friend or family!

If you are not very picky about details you will enjoy this location. Friendly service and absolutely decent meals.

Petit restaurant à deux pas du centre ville. Nous y sommes allés pour déjeuner d'un fish and chips. (Délicieux)

Just off the Ferry from Calais and needed a large breakfast to keep our enegry for the day. Read the reviews here and decided to give it a go. I was so happy to have a vegetarian version of a full English Breakfast - it was delicious! My husband loved his regular version as well. There were a few locals hanging around - everyone was very friendly and warm. Will be our starting point each time we visit from the ferry.

This was obviously a popular local's spot (my favorite!), so I was lucky to snag a table by myself. I was a little confused upon sitting down, as no one greeted me when I came in the door, and there was no menu to be seen. But after a few minutes at my table, a busy waitress came by and helped me out very kindly. I ordered the English Breakfast, and it was a VERY good deal! I got an egg, beans, toast, hash browns, and a cup of tea for only £4.50! For this starving actress on a job in a new town, this was just perfect! Thanks, Dovorian!

Cheap and cheerful but forget about ordering a boiled egg. They did try to accommodate scrambled egg on toast but got scrambled egg on bread... Dover's best value English breakfast.

A five minute walk from the Dover Restover Bred and Breakfast. We had breakfast every day we were in Dover at the Dovorian. They serve french fries (chips) free with breakfast if you ask. The coffee is great, and we live in Sicily were the coffee is second to none.

for an early morning fry up or a snack at any time there is a reason this cafe is stacked out with locals, value, cleanliness, spotless loos, cheerful polite staff, good platefull of food, very impressed and well set up for the day

This place is excellent, brilliant food, great value and lovely staff. regularly come for breakfast and thoroughly enjoy it every time, would definitely recommend!

If you are on your way from the train station to Dover Castle you will most likely pass by this place. If you are feeling hungry I would highly suggest stopping in. There is a seat yourself policy and the staff are very homely. I ordered the make your own breakfast special and I was very satisfied with it. It has a sort of local breakfast eatery feel to it because that is just what it is. The quality of the food is great for the price. If you have been staying in London this will be a splendid respite from the sticker shock. It only cost 5 pounds for breakfast! In London it would have been close to 10 pounds for this kind of a breakfast.

This is the best place for breakfast in Dover, and it might be the only place for breakfast... We popped in on Bank Holiday Monday morning and it was the only choice in town, apart from McDonald's. They were open more than an hour early than the opening hours for bank holidays notice stated. And the food was very tasty, served quickly.
