About Dovecote Restaurant
Set on the edge of Shipley Park with the golf course and open countryside beyond, this is a country-house sort of dining room — tablecloths, proper waiter service, an upmarket feel without upmarket prices. What makes it work with children is how calm it stays: it's a quiet, relaxed room rather than a clattering one, and the staff are polite and genuinely helpful when you're navigating menus with a fidgety table. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, buggy access is easy, and parking is free and plentiful with clearly marked accessible spaces near the door. Portions on the mains are generous, the Sunday lunch veg gets particular praise, and the champagne breakfast is a real event. Two honest notes: starters can run small, and the coffee is an extra charge and not a strong point.
