5/5 London Pub M. 7 months ago on Google
🚇 Ravenscourt
Park
🍺 £7.25
Asahi
❤️
One
of
London’s
favourite
pubs.
.
The
Dove
is
located
in
a
secluded
pathway
on
Upper
Mall
by
the
banks
of
the
river
Thames.
The
nearest
Tube
is
Ravenscourt
Park
which
is
under
a
ten
minute
walk.
.
This
historical
Grade
II
listed
pub
was
established
as
a
coffee
house
by
around
1740
and
as
a
pub
by
1793.
The
name
of
The
Dove
has
remained
unchanged
except
for
a
period
when
it
became
inadvertently
"The
Doves",
following
an
error
made
my
the
sign
writer
in
1860,
a
minor
change
that
lasted
90
years.
The
Dove
is
in
The
Guinness
Book
of
Records
for
having
the
smallest
bar
in
the
world,
at
just
over
3
square
metres.
.
This
cosy
@fullers
pub
is
full
of
old
world
charm
and
has
essentially
five
different
areas.
As
you
walk
in,
you
are
straight
in
to
the
low
ceilinged
main
bar
area
which
has
the
servery
on
the
right.
To
the
right
of
the
servery
is
the
famous
small
bar
which
unfortunately
was
closed
when
we
visited.
As
you
head
up
a
few
wooden
steps
you
arrive
in
to
a
atmospheric
dining
area,
beyond
that
is
the
vine-entangled
conservatory
which
then
leads
to
a
small
terrace
with
wonderful
views
of
the
Thames.
This
pub
has
a
village
pub
feel
with
its
oak
beams,
sturdy
fireplaces,
rustic
furniture
and
brass
fixtures
and
fittings.
.
The
Dove
has
an
excellent
beer
selection
which
included
four
cask
ales.
I
had
a
pint
of
Asahi,
my
pint
was
excellent
but
expensive
at
over
seven
quid.
The
menu
offers
a
good
choice
of
elevated
traditional
pub
dishes
plus
roasts
on
a
Sunday,
Fish
&
Chips
cost
£18.50.
.
The
atmosphere
was
relaxed,
calm
and
welcoming
on
this
sunny
Saturday
afternoon.
When
we
arrived,
the
pub
was
busy
in
the
main
bar
and
on
the
back
terrace.
The
crowd
was
a
mix
of
locals
and
day
trippers
enjoying
the
historic
surroundings.
The
service
was
good,
we
were
served
straightaway
and
the
staff
were
courteous.
.
@the_dove_hammersmith
is
a
classic
duck-your-head
heritage
pub
experience.
The
history,
the
old
world
charm
and
the
overall
sense
of
enjoying
being
here
made
this
a
very
enjoyable
visit
indeed.
This
is
a
must
visit
London
Pub.
