I often visit here especially for the food. Never had any issues and it’s always been a pleasant experience. The staff are all welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The food is always enjoyable and this time I decided to have their special Texan burger. It was one of the best of their special burgers I’ve had and I will definitely be having it again. Very good value for money too and the quality of the food is high. The chef is really good and always produces great food. I would recommend this place to anyone especially if they want good food for a great price. The kids eat free with a paying adult is on all year too.

Pub of choice for the visiting band Drum & Blaze two years in a row. Serves absinthe, instant 5/5. Our 2nd maestre ended the evening trying to swim in his hotel bed, singing a song about fish. The rest of us skipped back pretending to be the characters from the Wizard Of Oz. First visit was punctuated by some guy singing High Ho Silver Lining in karaoke, and I was devastated the second time to see that he wasn't a permanent fixture.

We walked in looking for a Sunday roast and weren’t disappointed! Fresh and very tasty food served by friendly and attentive staff. The homemade nut roast was particularly good and the choice of roasts (gammon, pork loin and beef) was great. The cabbage with bacon was delicious. A real gem in the heart of Dover!

The pub is fine, friendly staff and customers (a mixture of young and old). Pool table at the back. A tad spartan, with hard wooden furniture and vinyl flooring but perfectly fine for a pint. Dog friendly too and a good town centre location.

Food was absolutely inedible. Bread on blt tasted sour, the lettuce was spoiled, the chicken on the salad tasted off as did the lettuce, pizza was a doughy mess. The only edible food were the fries and the chips from a package. We barely touched our food and the person with the chicken salad was sick later. Plus we waited about an hour for the inedible food. Horrible experience.

A local pub with a local vibe that welcomes tourist. We were a party of 10 in town for the night before our cruise. Sam absolutely welcomed us with open arms. She made sure we felt at home. This is a small place with a big heart. The food options were abundant and the cook Sean was a one man show that didn’t miss a beat. Karina and Izzy behind the bar and servicing the tables are stunning and welcoming. I can’t say enough about Sam and her crew. They had us laughing, well feed and well liquored up. Even the locals made us feel welcomed. Sam is a gem!!!

She tends to your every need to ensure your visit is the best you ever had. Their bartender Sebastian is a consummate professional and a Mixologists Master. Their beverage tap selection is stupendous. If I could give 10 stars I would. Gary & Tonya from USA

Living locally, I popped in for a spot of lunch here and to find out the "intell" on the armed police officers shutting down Castle street today. I tried the fish finger sandwich off their new menu which is made using FRESH pieces of actual fish with toasted bread & tartare sauce base. None of the "bought in" fish fingers you sometimes get elsewhere. This is a sure fire winner. Served with chips or crisps i couldn't finish all the chips. Thank you Sam & team! Whilst I loved the lunch, it is the friendly, warm welcome consistently shown that keeps me coming back. Good selection of non - alcoholic drinks available too if you're driving or having a break from boozing! :-)

Sam and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. I had messaged them weeks before our trip to make a reservation for dinner. Our flight in was delayed and we were going to be late for dinner so I messaged once again. Sam told me she would have the kitchen stay open for us and asked us to order ahead so we would not have to wait long once we arrived. We walked in and Sam and the staff greeted us with open arms, hugs and a table ready for us. The food came out quickly, hot, fresh and was delicious! After a long travel this was just what we needed.

I had an appointment in Dover so thought I’d have a spot of lunch out at the same time. The elephant & hind is right in the centre of town near where I’d just been. A few people in having just drinks & a few tourists around too. It’s very much a bar vibe rather than an old pub but I soon got tucked into a Cruzcampo lager and had an excellent CLUB sandwich. Seemed to be a few tourists in there trying the cod & chips too. Beer was kept beautifully and CLUB was prepared fresh for me along with the choice of chips or crisps. Staff were all smiley & friendly. Not sure it’s a venue for a nice evening meal out but perfect for a lunch visit. Thank you.

Well folks you’re not in Kansas anymore when you come to the “Elle”. We came by on a Tuesday wanting fish & chips and a pint. Monday and Tuesday the kitchen is closed but the pub is open. When we expressed our disappointment they told us the best F&Ch are at the Castle Takeaway Fish & Chips. We said ok, we would come back for beer, and they said “just can bring your takeaway here and have your beer with your meal. We went the block and a bit and ordered the food. Brought it back to the Elephant and Hind, where they promptly brought to our table real plates and cutlery! We ordered a couple of IPAs and had the best fish & chip with beer dinner ever. Thank you Elephant and Hind!

This seems like a local hangout which is exactly what we wanted. Husband had picked this place online before we even left the states for their Sunday roast. It did not disappoint. He loved it. I wasn’t feeling like meat so I got the vegetarian Sunday dinner and it was great. The kids ordered fries, chicken wings and burgers and loved them too. We sat near the window and had a perfect view of the town Christmas tree. We cut up some with the couple at the next table over. We had been out sightseeing in the rain and our gift bag was soaked. I asked the server for another bag and a man at the bar pulled out one and gave it to us. Everyone was super nice. Dover ended up being one of my favorite stops in England.
