About Dove Free House & Kitchen
Traditional local pub popular for its big selection of local & international beers.
At the bottom of Broadway Market, this street-corner pub always has a vibrant atmosphere. The single bar has a good-size drinking area, with more seating to the rear. At least one local beer and another from a microbrewery are available on the four handpumps; there is also a wide selection of European - especially Belgian - bottled and draught beers. Food choices include Thai curry, game pie, wild boar burgers and four different sausages to accompany onion gravy and mash.

Lovely pub. Nice well worn interior, big selection of Belgian beers and decent prices (£5.80 for the Campus Premium Belgian house lager).

Busy pub on Broadway Market. It's a bit of a tourist hotspot, but the interior is great with ample seating, and you can even drink out front while watching the busy market. The service is average to bad, with some staff being disinterested or inexperienced. There's a great selection of beers, though the quality of the pour (especially for lager) isn't the best. Overall, it's a nice-looking pub with a good selection, but the service and tourist vibes let it down.

I hadn't been in here for over 10 years so I'm glad to see it's still going. They were always known for their Belgian beer selection which they still maintain. A good selection of gueze and lambics in the fridges as well. Quirky interior, feels homely. Great location. Recommended

Great place to end a walk or ride along Regents Canal, especially if you like a good Belgian beer … make sure you sit out in the sun!
