We absolutely adore the Dove inn since it's changed ownership. The fresh lick of paint and the new artwork is brilliant and adds to the atmosphere. We have been in a few times since opening, including once with the kids for some games of pool. The place is spotlessly clean, feels lovely and homely and the staff are so nice and friendly. We have heard good things about the Sunday carvery but not had the chance to try it yet. If nothing else, what a fantastic local, we will certainly be back for more family pool nights and casual drinks as a couple. Great work by the new owners!

Argyle on tour!! A chilly snowy day in Barnsley. We all met in The Dove. Super pub. Really welcoming for away fans. Even stood outside directing away fans on where to park ! Amazing. Good pint of Yorkshire bitter, excellent service considering it was so busy. Not far to the ground either. Full of hope for a good result....but we got stuffed!! Ah well....back to sunny Devon and the sea...

Exeter fan, drove up and came here for a pre-match pint and had homemade pie with gravy, and a chip butty on the side. Brilliant stuff, staff were friendly and seemed like a nice family run pub.

A few of us travelled up to Barnsley leaving at 4am from Portsmouth for the game and arrived at this pub. The landlord was so kind enough to let us in out of the freezing temperatures. Food was laid on too for us. I personally thank him and his staff for accommodating us so well.

Glad it's reopened and is serving three real ales, unfortunately they were all below par

Cannot fault this place. Staff very good. Landlord brilliant. Entertainer I had booked cancelled very late on and he arranged another one. And he was good. It was a memorial party for my mother. Few people did not come and he was supportive of that as well. The food was superb. Three or four different pies. Family still raving about that. Cannot recommend this place enough. Big thank you to them all
