The Dove in Hammersmith and Fulham

Service makes this place stand out from the rest. It was busy but food was served 10 mins approx after requesting and paying. Food average but much worse was in the area

Nice pub but £7.60 for a pint off larger

Lovely pub and very nice staff. The food tasted nice but the portions.. I had a roast chicken, now I get it that we arrived there at 5 but the chicken portion was tiny and all bones, 3 potatoes, a tiny piece of cauliflower, few peas and a Yorkshire pudding. I felt still hungry after I left and had to had dinner at home. Tbh never seen anything like that. Shame because the place is lovely and people working there are nice

Great little pub on the river! With very charming smallest bar 🍸

Lovely old riverside pub. Good selection of beers and excellent food. What's not to love about the Dove?

Very pretty little pub, but very much a food place, rather than a boozer. Cashless also, which is bad form.

Both the food and atmosphere were excellent. I will definitely come back next time I'm in London. The time it took for the order to be taken and the food and drinks to be served was also very good.

Cosy place for a weekend tipple, the open fire made it particularly snug having walked along the river in the drizzle and wind. UPDATE Glad to get a 2pm reservation pre Boat Race - it's such great food, lovely location, fizzing atmos - seating madness though .. some people try it on.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!

I love the tiny alleyway you have to pass through to reach The Dove (connecting Furnivall Gardens and Chiswick Mall). It really sets the scene for this historic, Grade II listed pub. It’s perfectly set on the Thames and a lovely walk to reach it whether coming along the river from Chiswick or Hammersmith. Sit inside or outside on the awesome riverside terrace (unlike the Black Lion and The Ship (further along / up river), The Dove is literally riverside / on the river. Good food, service and setting. What’s not to like? Make sure to book a table in advance (sometimes days / weeks in advance!)

Just went for a drink- great spot-cozy, cool. Aim to come back for the food next time also.

Stopped in at The Dove for a pre concert drink. The pub was 'buzzing' but we were served really quickly and enjoyed our drinks in the smallest bar I've ever been in, in London. It was about 4' x 8', tiny, but cosy😀 Good service, nice atmosphere, thank you👍

The dining experience, service, and ambiance of the restaurant were all excellent. Located along the Thames River, enjoying a beer on the terrace while watching the sunset over the river is simply superb. Despite being a historic building, it is clean and very cozy.

The communication was really good as we managed to talk to the team daily and know when the project is completed and well in advance we planned our holiday.

Was there last night around 10pm to closing. (The asian looking barmaid, I don’t know how else to describe and don’t want the other staff being blamed) She was the absolute worst bar staff or generally worst hospitality staff I’ve seen in a very long time. Like she was making an effort seriously.

The best fish and chips in London so far in my opinion. The portions size was very generous. The chips were crispy outside and tender inside. The fish was tender and juicy. The sauce was great and not sour at all. London Pride was very drinkable. The staff was welcoming. The atmosphere inside was nice and they have open wood fire. So in non-summer time I would even recommend tables closer to the bar than to the windows since that part is more cozy

Great Sunday roast and fantastic service.

Casey was an excellent bartender and took great care of us in the smallest bar room in the UK

The place is so wonderful and has great beer, ambience, and food (ordered two broccoli 🥦 dishes). Casey was our bartender and she helped us find a great seat to enjoy our food and have the best time. 😍

Sunday roast was really disappointing, for the price you’re paying you’d expect a decent portion (hardly any veg or gravy) in overall it wasn’t really nice. Service was slow- got told by 1 girl they aren’t doing table service but other staff said they do, really confusing. 3 stars for the view.

To be fair, don’t get me wrong but it was kinda really terrible. Service was so unwelcoming and consistently negligent (pretty sure they actively avoided us and pretended we weren’t there when we needed them, it was kinda funny) and that’s not even the worst of it. The food was bad bad (I’m trying so hard not to swear) the cauliflower cheese was one tiny bit of cauliflower and obviously the cauliflower cheese is the best bit. ONE CARROT. ONE SWEDE (or unidentified root veg dunno). The chicken was fine. And it cost TWENTY QUID. garbage honestly. Fullers pubs = full of sh1t3. It’s actually not that hard to do a good roast. Do not charge 20+ quid for it. Love doves and pidgins. Hate the Dove pub.

Lovely pub, great beer and food. History drops from the walls

Had the best evening. Was very welcome as a solo guest and really well looked after. Service was impeccable. Lovely Irish lady behind the bar was nothing short of fantastic. Food was great. Not a single fault

I like to go into the tiny bar and pretend I'm a giant man ordering little little pints I don't think they like me there

Great atmosphere,lovely food and excellent staff🙂

Nice small pub by the river. Quick and friendly service

We went to try a roast and was fairly disappointed. would've appreciated more gravy and seasoning on everything. French onion soup was average good but the hispi cabbage was a game changer. It was amazing and fresh.

You really feel the history when sitting in this pub.

Will be back again; definitely recommended🔝 We had a memorable time here. We went in for lunch, and a few beers were greeted upon entering; the gentleman with long blonde hair Was immaculate and such a professional, Friendly service. He showed us around and took us straight to a table; top-notch service, great ambient combined with professional, friendly service that you can’t fault anything, delicious food served in such a lovely place. Muchas gracias, Siempre placer, and see you very soon.

Nice deck at the back with excellent view!

Great atmosphere, love the history, polite staff

My favourite spot for roast in London, the lamb is unreal

Had a great Sunday roast 😊 lovely place with friendly staff

Pure English pub. English cuisine dishes that surprise, because one expects another Fish and Chips Tavern. Good atmosphere and located in Hammersmith, a very nice neighborhood

Our first visit to The Dove was fabulous: we sat in the front area near a fireplace and had a great Sunday roast after a long walk in the cold. So when my mom was visiting me in London, The Dove was a natural choice to show her a cosy historical pub, so I booked a table in advance and was looking forward to it Unfortunately, this time we were given the worst table in the back of the pub, in a glass box right near the men's toilet. It was quite a popular destination for the guests, it being a busy Friday night, but I just tried to ignore the smells and sights as much as possible. Instead, I had to focus on keeping the table stable (pardon the pun) as it was really shaky. My mom’s husband sat by the window, and it was very cold, so he ended up putting his coat on. The food was a bit of a hit-and-miss. Cheese plates included four small pieces of cheese and were mostly dominated by accompanying salad, chutney, crackers, apples and grapes. My fish and chips were a huge portion, but the steak and my mom’s squash dish were quite small. Brownies with Chantilly cream and cherries were really good. Overall, I just felt really disappointed with the table squeezed in between the toilet and the cold window. It was definitely not the cosy by-the-fireplace pub experience I wanted for my mom, and I feel I should have chosen something else for her.

Class pub and full of very interesting history.Well worth a visit as is all this area from Chiswick to Hammersmith.

Nice pub although small. You can eat or even just drink something... a little outside the center but you can get there quite well with public transport. Prices a little high but in line with the city and the various English pubs

I do love coming here because its near my house and I will be back but guys, you have got to sort out the focaccia. It was served as two slices of toasted sourdough bread completely ruining what a focaccia is. Had you just served that one thick slice that is fluffy and salty and oily and spongy, it would have made all kinds of sense. Now, whoever made the octopus, very very well done. That was incredibly tasty. We had Sunday roast too which was fine but needs a teeny bit more gravy. I am not gonna stop coming here but per favore, the focaccia... Thank you!!! <3

Amazing tomahawk steak cooked blue as I asked, very smiling and friendly service, plus cozy atmosphere close to the fire place feel like old times❤️ really recommended! One of my favorite place in Hammersmith! See u back soon guys, really great job!

Cozy place with a nice view of the river and small menu. I had the beef croquettes which unfortunately were a bit dry and the trout which was quite the small portion compared to the other dishes we ordered.

When was this place last deep cleaned? The ladies toilets are absolutely disgusting and the dust/muck around the restaurant is appalling. I dread to think what the kitchens are like… Brought my Dad here today for his Birthday. On the booking site it even asked if this is a special occasion and I mentioned his Birthday. But the staff made absolutely zero attempt to acknowledge this… All in all this has not been a good representation of the Fullers brand

One of the worst (see other reviews) dining experiences to date. Booked a table with my wife and parents for a special night out after Christmas, travelled over an hour to get there etc. - Table situated at the back of the pub in a drafty and cold glass box, sandwiched between ladies and gents toilets. Absolutely awful, particularly given that we were walked through the nice bit of the pub / restaurant on our way there! - Our first waiter, dressed as they all were in t-shirt / jeans, didn't have an adequate grasp of the menu and his English was limited. - Side dish (padron peppers) arrived with starters. Same side dish then reappeared with mains, cold. Reappeared moments later, warmer and soggier. - The clincher was the fillet steak and chips with peppercorn sauce (£32). I asked for medium rare and got something cold and beyond well done. It was also a tiny steak which could be concealed in its entirety with 5 chips. The peppercorn sauce was a bland gravy with a few whole peppercorns thrown in. It was terrible. - Fish (of fish and chips fame) was battered too much with uncooked batter on the inside. Overall, this was a truly disappointing evening out, and we will never come back for food. We paid a discounted bill and left without ordering any complimentary desserts.

Stay in the front, enjoy your ale & some fish & chips, but avoid the restaurant. Unfortunately, prices are not justified with respect to the taste & service. I would rather "The Dove" had stayed a traditional pub than trying to be something else.

Nice looking pub but absolutely shocking prices. Paid £17.35 for a beer and a glass of wine, April'23. Toilets were in a state too. You'd expect that on a Saturday night but there was nowhere to dry your hands, just a battered loo roll with no paper left somewhere near the sink. Really shoddy stuff for a pub that has the nerve to charge the prices they do. Just not worth it. Worst Fullers pub I've been to. Anyway - theres plenty of other pubs nearby.

Historic pub with great views of the Thames.

Just went there for one drink, but loved the look and feel of this lovely old pub.

Only dropped in for a drink. Quaint pub.

Just love this place. Warm cozy old romantic great food and staff..

Nice historic pud with lots of history.

It was OK. Not up to my expectations. Beers were good.

On a cold grey late November Sunday afternoon, when the high tide of the Thames mixes with the greasy mizzle of the overcast sky, The Dove beckons like a lighthouse on the riverside, it’s gold lettering a bright flash against the drabness of the day. Inside, all warm and wooden, warped with a hundred years and more of intemperance, fire gently hissing with pleasure. The beer is standard Fullers, but brewed no more than a mile distant, so excellent still, but unless you’re here to eat there’s precious little place to sit. So back outside to the riverside terrace, to embrace the view and sit not too long before onwards. #24 #29

Window seat, Thames riverside setting, great service with a smile, excellent food (lunique style pork belly dish), prodigious helpings of sticky toffee pudding and local real-ale, all combined to make it a memorable occasion. I'll be back.

It a wonderful quaint old pub. Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. My husband's pre birthday meal. He has been visiting the pub for many years.

Lovely spot near the river to sit on a warm day. Mostly an eating pub!!! Didn't have a very good selection of lagers, expensive and didn't take cash, card only. Had a drink and left. Don't think we would return.

I had arranged to meet old friends for lunch at the Dove. I've been visiting the pub for decades and knew it had always been a good spot for an afternoon of good food and a drink. All our expectations were met. The staff were super friendly, the food (we had a massive selection of lighter bites and starters) was excellent and the wine was fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyable foody/boozy afternoon and made to feel very welcome.

A lovely, cosy, historic pub right by the Thames. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

An old favourite. Sadly for this day and age The old Dove is looking tired and unloved. The ladies toilets are in an awful state and could do with updating, replacing broken seats and a deep clean. Makes me wonder if front of house can be so bad, what is going on at the back?

I’m in The Dove right now. It’s a Saturday night and very busy. I popped in for a meal and a drink before a film at the Riverside Studios. If you don’t mind loads of young toffs it’s a good pub. I’m from the rougher end of West London and everyone sounded so posh that it was as if they were taking the micky out of posh people! My belly of pork meal was nice enough, if a little light on the portion size. My gluten free Punk IPA was welcome but way too expensive at £5.45 for just 330ml.

One of my favourite pubs in London. Everything about this classic traditional pub is magnificent. You even have a river view! However, I did pop in on Saturday to be told that a certain area is for food only. As The Dove is a very small pub, I was extremely disappointed they have decided to do that, and it does really restrict where you can sit. Nevertheless, that still doesn't take away from the beauty of the pub!

Nice service, great views and atmosphere. But you might not get your food ordered as they might have forgotten about it. If you order Gniocci- you’ll feel the kitchen will have to google before making it… definitely without goat cheese or pesto but hey! It was warm…

Came here for Sunday lunch with my 2 friends. Was really looking forward to a nut roast and we had booked this 2 weeks in advance. We had to wait a bit for our table which is fine, but we’re told to wait outside and someone would come and get us when ready, and no one ever did. When ordering food I was told there was no nut roast (I’m pescatarian so couldn’t have any of the meat options), I opted for a starter of scampi instead which also wasn’t available. So finally went for one of their specials (also a starter) of scallops which the waitress said I could have as a main. My friends ordered roasts. When my food arrived it was only 2 scallops on a bed of chopped onion which I paid £17 for. Been to the Dove several times but was really disappointed that there were so many issues, particularly with the nit roast not being available. It was too late to eat at this point of my friends food had just arrived so I had to sit an watch them eat. While experience was ruined.

Imperdível esse Pub ao lado do Thames próxima da Fuller's

A pub that doesn't accept the King's currency for payment? 🤔

Très beau pub au bord de l'eau. Service attentionné et une carte variée qui mélange tradition et modernité. Un pub un peu gastro où on a envie de se réfugier pendant des heures pour profiter de l'ambiance chaleureuse.

We had dinner with friends there tonight all ordered trout with fennel as a main. It was delicious. Later i had pear crumble with coco icecream - beautiful!

Last of the summer wine on my favourite riverside terrace...

Perfect view on the river to follow the tide

Great quiet pub with fantastic views over the river. A brilliant spot to catch up with friends.

Having had a leisurely stroll along the river with friends, and feeling a bit peckish, we ventured inside at 12.30pm looking for a free table for four. Luckily it was early enough for The Dove to accomodate. Quaint surroundings with seating inside and out. Their roast dinners had amazingly generous portions, particularly the chicken. Absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend. Booking is advised to avoid disappointment.

The Dove has landed and it was a pleasant surprise! We left a nearby pub/ pizza joint a tiny bit earlier, honestly feeling a bit hangry. The 'rules' for their OMFG pizza wasn't communicated to us clearly so we spent about two hours waiting for God's mercy. We were not served any food though we've been buying pints and pints. Feeling disappointed because of that bad experience, it's really wonderful for us to find the Dove. We were seated right away for a beautiful Sunday roast. Was it earth shattering good? It wasn't, but it's delightful and enjoyable. The waitress was courteous and prompt with the service. The food was beautifully presented and delectable. It was a pleasurable experience and we'll definitely recommend the Dove to our friends.

Great hidden pub with a brilliant river facing garden (when the weather allows).

I had a reservation and was looking forward to this place. I had Sunday roast pork and when it came I was very disappointed, the meat was very dry and the portion size of meat was disappointing. Vegetables were overcooked and even burnt. The place itself has a nice vibe but the food was so disappointing I don't believe I will come here again.

We had a reservation for sunday afternoon. Ordered roast beef as it was sunday and there is a nice choice of roasts on sunday menu. It was disappointing, especially vegetables - obviously reheated a couple of times as it had a really hard skin. Cauliflower was tasteles. Meat was chewy and two pieces of meat were differently cooked, one was rare, the other medium rare.The only good thing was the Yorkshire pudding, but not enough to justify the full price of the meal. On top of that, the ceiling (AC?) was leaking just besides our table. Really bad experience.

Not one to usually write reviews and am sure it was just a bad day but feel I should say something as it was kind of unacceptable. All the food was good apart from the two small pieces of bread which were absolutely tiny. When I asked for the oil and balsamic vinegar they gave it to us but noticed it tasted a bit strange. I looked at the best before date and saw that the balsamic was over a year out of date. I know the staff were busy but when I gave it to one member and said that it was out of date they didn’t seem to care or even apologise. It just seemed like we were an inconvenience for them. I work at a pub and know that it can get stressful but would not expect this, especially from a nice pub !

This very old establishment is five star all round. Great atmosphere with views up and down the Thames, accompanied by great food and drinks, with excellent staff. Top Drawer!

Amazing place by the water. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. I always recommend this place when I come to London in the Hammersmith area. really wished I took pics of the fish and chips. make sure to go during good weather so that you can sit outside to enjoy the river and fresh breeze whilst planes land on runway 27 in Heathrow from above

Very delicious dinner here. I normally have a rule not to order steak in a pub as it can be very unpredictable. The day I came for dinner I was craving steak so buckled and gave it a shot. The Steak was EXTREMELY good, perfectly Medium Rare with a lovely flavour and crust. Peppercorn sauce was also good as were the other sides. Excellent wine list as well. Lovely atmosphere in particular the riverside seating.

Very busy but lots of fun! Little garden on the back of the pub overlooking the Thames. Old and atmospheric pub serving good food and beverages!

Lovely traditional pub. Bar staff were very friendly. Terrace out back is small but has great views.

We've been coming to the Dove for decades, it was our Dad's favourite pub and when he died, 30 years ago this week, we came here as a family to scatter some of his ashes in the Thames, and for the next 29 years we've been coming back to celebrate him around that anniversary. In that time we've had mixed experiences but mostly good. Last night 5 of us came for a meal on our annual pilgrimage. We booked in advance, saying that 2 of us are vegan and one has a life threatening mustard allergy. When we arrived, 8pm, we had to ask what was suitable for vegans and what didn't have mustard in. The waitress didn't know and had to go off and ask. She came back with one main course that was vegan and nothing for the mustard allergy, so he had to have some starters instead. We said we were disappointed at this as we'd told them in advance about the allergy and the vegans, she didn't apologise. She was also very casual about the whole mustard thing, which is a concern when it could kill you! We waited a long time for our drinks to arrive, when they did one pint of beer was totally flat. She replaced it, but again with no apology. The food, which hadn't been anyone's ideal first choice, was good, so that was nice. When they cleared the plates the waitress brought dessert menus, after a minute or 2 we called her over to ask what was vegan (there are no indicators on the menus at all) and joked that at least nothing would have mustard in! She said there was nothing vegan, but also as it was 9.32pm the kitchen we closed and so we couldn't order desserts anyway!! She had only given us menus minutes before. At no point when we took our 8pm table did anyone mention that the kitchen would close at 9.30pm! We had to wait quite a while to order, for our drinks to arrive, for our food. So it would have been difficult to have ordered desserts earlier, but if we'd known we might have tried. When we questioned this she simply said they had all been working 12 hour shifts and were knackered!!! We paid a lot of money for food some of us wouldn't have chosen, and couldn't get a dessert for no fault of our own. I think its also worth mentioning for a busy London pub that serves (not inexpensive) food to not have a vegan pudding option and only one main course is pretty poor in 2023. Anyway, the whole experience really tarnished our moment to celebrate our Dad, and we have all decided, after 30 years, and a few less than great experiences in the last few years, we won't be able to come back to The Dove for our pilgrimage. Sorry Dad

Cosy small pub with a balcony overlooking the river

Lovely pub on the river. Delightful tiny snug at front of pub. Nice fireplace for winter and lovely outside back area for sunny days looking down the river. Food is good too.

Monday night is the way to go if you want an intimate and cosy feel in this classic place. Would be awesome if we could order using qr codes, else I can see long ques during busy times. Some starters were a hit and miss. Didn't do any meals. Will def be here again to get the classic nostalgic feeling.

Pub magnifique au bord de la Tamise. Très bonne cuisine. Personnel adorable, professionnel et aux petits soins avec ses clients. Je recommande et reviendrai !

Post wedding Sunday roast. Needed this today.

A very nice place to have a delicious meal with family and friends

Really cool and traditional pub with stunning sunset views. I'd suggest visiting this place if you are nearby around sunset timea

Great pub by the Thames and tiny little entrance opens up into Edwardian era pub with a wonderful roof top terrace with views over the Thames and Hammersmith Bridge. Would certainly recommend a visit. We had drinks and starters to sustain our walk along the river.

Very nice interior and situated in a nice site by the river. Worth a visit.

I have been going to the Dove for years and up until now, the food the service and the ambiance were second to none. Now under new management, the service was extremely slow, at a table book for dinner it took 45 mins for the wine to arrive and the bottle was simply placed on the table with some stemless wine glasses, having order a £40 bottle of white I requested glasses with stems but was told they had run out; exit waitress! We had to beg to place a food order and then two of the meals were sent back, the cock au vin consisted of a dried up piece of chicken in a white wine slop and by now, 9pm, the kitchen was closed; a replacement meal of fish and chips eventually arrived after the rest of us had finished our meals. The staff were not suitably dressed for serving food with their bellies hanging out and them constantly pulling down their tops which were riding up to expose their entire stomachs and the glasses delivered to the table where hugged to the said stomach. On ordering a slightly cheaper second bottle of wine, it had a screw top which was not even removed, just dumped on the table! I had invited several friends for my birthday celebration and was totally embarrassed that I had suggested this venue. It was a disgrace and would definitely suggest avoiding it. Such a shame as it is a beautiful old pub in a lovely location on the river. Attached is a picture of 2 of the waitresses.

Very nice pub on river Thames but very difficult to get a seat outside. Inside rooms have smell from the toilets and beers are overpriced.

The waitress we had, her name was Diana, was absolutely lovely! Honestly haven’t had better service from anywhere else in london and was a joy to dine here.

Was much betten a few years ago slowly going down.

My favourite pub ever, the terrace in the summer has got the best views and it's super cozy in winter to sit by the fire

One more good pubs on the thames around Hammersmith great location overlooking the river.

One of my new favourite pubs - right on the river, gorgeous surrounding views and a quaint outdoor patio with a fantastic spiral staircase leading to an upper deck. Inside is the perfect old pub vibe, exactly what you'd hope to find tucked away on a little cobble stone path. Friendly staff, great drink selection and exceptional food.

Lovely place to spend a sunny day. Delicious Sunday roast. Friendly staff.

Wonderful old pub on the Thames with a great pint of ESB

출장 시 방문한 후 거의 10년 만에 가족들과 식사했어요. 오래된 식당(Pub)답게 테이블도 높낮이가 맞지 않고 천장도 낮지만 맛과 분위기가 최고에요. 기본 제공되는 메뉴 외에도 칠판(?)에 오늘의 메뉴가 적혀있어요(예전에는 송아지 스테이크, 이번에는 토마호크 스테이크). 직원들도 친절하고 맥주도 다양하게 준비되어 있어서 즐거운 식사를 하실 수 있을거에요. 다만, 가격은 조금 높은편이고 예약이 필수인 점만 고려하시면 되겠네요.(예약없이 방문했다가 식사 못하고 다음날로 예약했네요 ㅎㅎ) 다음번 런던 방문시에도 꼭 찾고 싶네요 ^^

Absolutely superb food, we had the lamb and mash plus ravioli to start. Staff are so friendly, setting is fantastic too highly recommend
