The Goodwin in Dover

Can’t honestly review the food but I am not into pizza and usually pop by in the day so the oven is never on. I have been in half a dozen times , over maybe 12 years , each time I go back to check if I get a more pleasant reception or acknowledged as a return customer,but I absolutely don’t.I try to support local pubs but the look I get even though I am usually on my own, from the lady there speaks volumes. I even perused all the local pics on the wall from local artists, of which I know many of the buildings and boats and the owners and boatmen over 18+ years but zero interest , even from the few ‘regulars’. She (or they) have never once been warm,or even vaguely engage,silent suspicion &barely eye contact.It’s a pub not a treasury and not many punters.I am a customer & human being. Saving grace-Ok garden. Doubt I will return, tbh doubt they care..

Visited for our daughters birthday very very disappointed food poor quality. 3/4 had chips which were just basic skin on frozen fries . Eggs were cheap ones . I had the lamb rump which was tough as old boots not given a steak knife had too ask for 1 even then couldn’t really eat the meat it was such poor quality and fatty. The gravy watery the bubble and squeak burnt and cold carrots and “buttered “ cabbage cold boiled cabbage avoid so so disappointing the whole meal was and definitely overpriced

A fabulous overnight stop in our campervan. We had a very warm welcome from Dylan who looked after us very well. The bar & restaurant was very busy however Dylan’s professionalism as a server made his job appear easy! Our food was served in a timely manner, piping hot and so delicious! The pastry on the vegetable tart was so tasty with added herbs. The gammon steak burger with an egg was very moreish. Now to the sticky toffee pudding with piping hot custard, a decent size portion, thank goodness we shared! Believe me when I say this is a lovely pub with scrumptious food, & fabulous service from Dylan

Delicious coffee and vegan sausage roll and such a lovely and friendly manager, Mercy, who is obviously very passionate about what she does. Highly recommended!

Very rude lady behind the counter serving - dark hair - didn’t want to be there - so don’t !! No smile , no friendliness. Your not doing us a favour we are the customer - the young girls bringing drinks out were smiling and attentive please take a head out of there book - disgraceful behaviour treating customers with such disrespect
