The 33 best places to go out in Dover

Absolutely a fantastic place to visit oozing with history. The site is large so allow plenty of time. It's also hilly and within the castle there is a lot of stairs. The tunnels under the castle were fascinating especially if you have an interest in WWII. Though they date back to the late 1700s. Tours are run at regular intervals and the staff are extremely knowledgeable. All staff were helpful and nice. We were able to park on site but I imagine school holidays could cause an issue sometimes. There's is a carpack for disabled drivers much closer and on a flatter level near the castle itself. Plenty of toilets dotted around the grounds and a cafe and ice cream van as well as one serving hot drinks and snacks. Small p.ay area with climbing equipment for children. Great views over Dover and the port. Also visit the Saxon Church that is within the grounds.

Was a wonderful visit,went there with a friend of mine and we explored everything the castle had to offer. Under the castle there are some interesting tunnels with a lot of interesting stories. You will learn a bit about the war and the importance of the castle in the past. It's worth the money.

You could easily spend a whole day here visiting the various sections of the large site. Of special interest to us were the Secret War Tunnels. It is a 30-minute tour with an informed and entertaining guide. (Unfortunately no photos allowed.) There is no extra fee for the tour. It is included with your entrance fee. There is also a tour of the hospital tunnels which we didn’t have time to take but would have been interested to see. We also enjoyed seeing the castle which is furnished in replicas from the period which we didn’t expect. Again, the attendants were friendly and informed. On a nice day there are lovely picnic area to enjoy.

I am pretty sure this is my first time here. The castle is well done and there's free car parking 5 minutes away, members can park inside we were on day tickets. Had to queue about 30 minutes for the WW2 tunnels but otherwise easy to move around. The NAAFI restaurant was shambolic, either short of staff or disorganised. It was the only negative of the day for me.

Nice day out. Arrived around 12:30. Was directed where to park by attendants (parking was free inside the castle grounds). Went first to the tunnels (operation Dynamo) rescue from Dunkirk. 40 minute guided tour which talks about the build up to WW2 and the rescue operation from Dunkirk. We queued for about 15/20 minutes. They let a group in about every 15 minutes. Then we went to the cafe. I would advise taking a packed lunch. Had a hotdog, a sausage roll and two drinks (can and a carton) came to £17. Then we went to the siege play park which is okay. All castle attack/defend based but alot of it is broken, has pieces missing or doesn't work. We then went inside Dover castle. This is done quite well. There was also a 20 minute show on in one of the rooms for the kids. Halloween themed and was quite funny. The kids enjoyed it. We then visited the second set of tunnels (underground hospital). This runs every 30 minutes and has a capacity of 30 people on a first come, first served basis. You follow the journey through the tunnels of a downed pilot. Again, this tour was quite good. All in all, we spent 4 hours here and it was well worth the visit.

There is so much to see here - definitely plan enough time! I would recommend buying tickets online, if you can. If not, you can drive up and park, then walk inside and purchase tickets in the gift shop in the main castle area at the top of the hill. The grounds are really well maintained and the staff is so friendly and helpful! The various tours close early, so be sure to hit them first, then tour the rest at your leisure. We started at the top, toured the tunnels, then went and did the two tours at the bottom before making the trek back up. (I would recommend this route) There is a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes! The views are incredible and there is so much to see. The only thing we weren’t a big fan of was the gaudy colors of the decorations in the main castle - they reminded us of a children’s play set - but that’s just our opinion. It definitely didn’t dampen the experience! There are ample restroom facilities located all around the property. It seemed like the kind of place that might be difficult to maneuver in a manual wheelchair, but we don’t use a wheelchair so there might be accommodations we didn’t see. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

What a history, what a place, what a view from the roof. Pet friendly only in the garden. No pets allowed in closed spaces such as wartime tunnels or museums, shops or anything else. The personnel attitude towards the small companions were great with one exception: the gentleman wearing glasses at the entrance of the part where we go to see the rooftop.

It is a good museum that ellaborates on Dover's Roman and prehistoric history alongside some other exhibits peppered in. There are some fun interactive objects which are fun for children. Perhaps the best presented and most interesting exhibit is the prehistoric bronze age boat which is used to elaborate parts of that time period. I do wish there was some more modern objects and they could have been related back to the older history. However if you want to learn about Dover's history through the millennia than this is a good shout.

Pleasantly surprised by the amount of items and information in this museum. We didn't have much time before our parking ran out but decided to take a quick look as it was free to enter. It's spread over several levels which can be accessed by stairs or lift. The bronze aged boat is a true marvel and well preserved. Each floor of the museum is full of interesting things, so much more than we were expecting, even the corridors and staircase has something to look at. We will need to go back and spend more time exploring 20 minutes wasn't anywhere near long enough! The staff are lovely and helpful. There is a gift shop with a range of items. If you are in Dover it's well worth a visit!

Genuinely enjoyable experience, loads to read and even touch! I love an interactive museum that's suitable for autistic & adhd people. 3 floors & 2 awesome taxidermy animals (i won't spoil the surprise which). The Bronze Age Boat is a must see!

Fantastic little Museum! See a well-preserved boat that's around 3600 years old, and a comprehensive history from the time the Romans landed in 46ad to modern times. Countless artifacts on display from every era. We'll worth a stop, and admission is free.

We were delighted with the Dover Museum. The first floor is primarily concerned with the history of Dover through the ages, with dioramas and model figures illustrating people’s dress of the time, starting with the Stone Age. Most of the relics on this floor were replicas, with the originals being at the British Museum - something a lot of museums have in common. The second floor was for temporary exhibitions, this one being displays of models, miniatures and some toys from the past. The third floor had more on the history of Dover, and a separate section devoted to the Dover Bronze Age Boat, a wooden boat from about 3000 years ago that was discovered during highway construction. The government didn’t want to pay for proper analysis, so a large team of conservationists retrieved as much of the boat as they could. Having been buried in silt and water, the parts they found looked in reasonable condition, but the wood would disintegrate if any stress was put on it. They cut it into pieces, soaked the wood in a polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution to stabilize the wood, and then sent the pieces to a separate facility that freeze-dried them. Another team decided to reproduce the boat using (mostly) bronze-age tools and methods (I say mostly because they did use a chain saw to fell the tree). This let them learn more about how the boat had been constructed. Both the original and the copy are on display. The museum also has extensive displays on people who swam the English Channel (or claimed to, in some cases.)

You can't help but be impressed that bronze age sailors created this ship. The display is very good. If you go to the museum start upstairs with the ship. Give it your attention while your mind is fresh. You will be wowed.

Really nice free museum- very informative. Can easily kill an hour and show you some of the roman history of Dover. Helpful and kind staff.

Children had the best time. It is bigger than it looks and we happily spent 2 hours here. Tickets are valid for a year so we will definitely be back. The gift shop is small but the prices and quality of items is fantastic. It's mostly run by volunteers who really genuinely care and that means that everyone is happy to talk to and help guests. Overall, it makes for a good little day out.

A great place for nostalgia. Really good exhibits with knowledgeable staff around to guide you. Lots of things for kids to do. Coffee and cakes were good. Coffee was surprisingly tasty and sponge cake was one of the best in a snack bar. Well done staff. Tickets are valid for a year, so I will be back........ definitely!

Whilst a small museum it's bigger than it looks. Lots of vintage things set about and well displayed. Place is run by volunteers all of which were friendly and nice as well as being passionate. Cafe was accommodating for gluten free and didn't make a fuss so that was also a nice touch. Some exhibits could do with a slight revamp to bring in the fresh blood but despite that it was still a cracking little museum worthy of going to visit. If you're into your vintage nostalgic cars and bikes or even just the walking back through time this is something right up your street. Really enjoyed my visit. Thanks to the staff

If you just want i little family day out, this is the place for you. Brilliant museum with old vehicles and trains and much more.

One of the most exciting and friendly places to go if you are into history or love classic cars, trucks and bikes. Fantastic volunteers and staff, friendly atmosphere and café inside. One time ticket purchase gives you access for a year, sometimes there are events held like the classic bike show last weekend! It was excellent.

Excellent surprisingly large museum, well presented with fascinating range of exhibits. The enthusiasm of the team is infectious, and the cafe definitely worth a visit too. Their collections are displayed with informative notice boards, and presented such that you can readily access sections that are of most interest to you. Outside there is plenty of space for specialist marque clubs and events, which added further interest and value to us on the day of our visit.

My family and I visited back in November and again today, as initial entrance fee is valid for the entire year. This is excellent value for money, and the volunteers have done an amazing job to make this place look great. My 2 year old daughter absolutely loves this place. Even if your not particularly into motor vehicles, this museum is still an absolute gem. The museum displays include vehicles of all kinds, shops which you actually walk into and upstairs. Our favourite sections were being allowed upstairs on the double decker tour bus, model railway (which is huge) and when it's available- using the fire engine hose to knock down targets! Well done to all the volunteers that make this place such a great day out.

It’s a really nice place for a summer’s day walk , however be prepared to take a pack lunch as the cafe wasn’t open when we went. Definitely somewhere to go before exploring Folkestone sea front where there has been a lot of work done to make it more family friendly.

Nice place in Dover with beach, rock pools and a coastal walk. Parking available but it does get full pretty quick so it’s just a case of your luck on the day. Small cafe on site but you’re better off packing food if you plan on staying for the day. You can catch fish there too so if you’re coming with kids bring your nets!

A short wait at the traffic lights and we were allowed to enter the tunnel Single lane for cars and quite steep. Car parks well sign posted. There is a cafe and toilet facilities. Parking can be brought in small sessions or £2 for the whole day. Amazing views of cliffs and coast. Several looped footpaths and dog friendly too. Dogs must be on leads as there can be grazing animals. We'll Def be back for a longer walk

An excellent place to reconnect with nature. Start at the blue watch house, read the poem on the door and explore the inside. Then follow the path and notice the wildflowers and the buzz of the bees. It's a pollinator haven. If you can, go down to the beach, it's particularly nice at low tide. Practicalities - there are decent bathrooms, a small exhibition space and picnic benches. Parking is £2in cash, you can also use the RingGo app.

We definitely enjoyed this easy coastal walk at Samphire Hoe. This was our second option after failing to find a parking space in Folkestone! I’m glad we decided to go here instead. The views are amazing! Some people can walk along the Sea wall where you will find couple of people fishing in that area. Others can follow the gravel path to the the beach. We did the latter. There is an area along the beach further down (toward Folkestone) which I think is a nudist beach - we didn’t go as far 🙈 but overall, it was such a lovely place for a quick walk with beautiful views. Samphire Hoe is part of the Geo Park together with the white cliffs of Calais in France. We had binoculars with us, so we saw those white cliffs across the English Channel. We also spotted some butterflies and birds like cormorants and probably some starlings.

​An Absolute Must-Visit! ​A true hidden gem with a dramatic entrance through a cliff tunnel leading to stunning sea views. Parking is a bargain at £2.50 for the day (free for disabled visitors) and can be paid by coin or the RingoApp, with free WiFi provided to help you connect. ​The main trail to the beautiful shingle beach is scenic and full of wildlife but can be uneven. For easier access, a separate path from the overflow car park is available but has a steep final hill. ​With toilets and picnic spots on-site, it's perfect for a simple, wonderful day out. We loved it!

Beautiful short ish walk. Several routes avaliable on nice track paths or you can choose the flat and easy sea wall option which is wheelchair accessible. Car parking is £3 for the day which isn't bad and there is a cafe for snacks and hot drinks. Not much seating once you head off. Beautiful Cliffs and stoney beach once you get to the end. There is a hidden spring close to the bottom of the cliff on the beach but you have to traverse the stones to get there.

Great staff, quick table service via app orders. It was full pack because one of the busiest pubs in Dover. Friendly atmosphere. Bit noisy but all depend on your mood how you get it. Like traditional interior look.

Really enjoyed this pub. A wide variety on their food menu. Order on line or at the bar. Small and large portions are available. A good variety of local draft beers on tap. Plus plenty to choose from in their can/bottle selection. Friendly service as they let me taste a couple of the beers on tap. Also a large and clean restroom for patrons. A good experience while visiting Dover.

Myself and my wife came here for breakfast before travelling home. Although it was busy, what we ordered came out quicker than we expected. My wife was impressed with the fancy coffee machine, that dispensed cold coffee, having had 4 cups before I had even finished my first latte. (She drinks decaffeinated.) Friendly staff - Daisy was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our visit. Located very close to a car park. All the food that came out was freshly cooked and well presented on our plates. If/when we were to come back to the area, we will 100% be coming back again. Other branches/locations should follow their example, as this was such a good experience overall.

Stopped in here after driving down from Liverpool on our way to Germany (31/7/25) Arrived at 10pm and were greeted by a smiling, polite and very helpful young lady whose name I forgot to ask. We ordered food and drinks and took a seat in the quiet but friendly atmosphere. Food arrived quickly and was delicious, hot and well presented. A lovely short (and alcohol free) visit before our ferry. Absolutely nothing negative to say, very happy customers.

The Eight Bells is everything you want from a Wetherspoons and more. Great atmosphere, plenty of space, quick service, and prices that make you wonder why you’d go anywhere else. The food and drinks are always spot on, and the staff keep things running smoothly even when it’s busy. Honestly, I wish this was my local – I’d happily drive 5 hours just to spend an evening here. A proper gem of a pub.

What a lovely Wetherspoons.. The staff were super friendly, attentive, talkative, polite and very nice. (Especially, the man and woman behind the bar, who I think said they had known each other 9 years) they were so welcoming, to the point before heading home we had to return for another drink. We were so surprised to see a pint of Doom Bar for £2.10 and free refill Tea/Coffee for £1.04. The ladies toilets were up a couple of stairs and clean. The overall bar was clean and as with most Spoons a little dark inside. The bar was clean with a great display of drinks. There were some great pictures and frames etc on the walls. We also tried the new Mozart White Chocolate Cream Liqueur.. totally recommend this drink. All in all a lovely Wetherspoons, we would definitely visit if back in the area. The ales poured & settled well and tasted great. We could not have asked for more.

We visited the 8 bells for a Sunday brunch, they serve breakfast from 8am to 12am - breakfast deals are really cheap compared with the rest of the menu, totally worthy. We chose a vegetarian breakfast, mushroom Benedict and one coffee, as coffee allows refills we shared it. It was 10,81£ for 2, and portions are good size, so we recommend it, also a lot of other vegetarian options (sweet and savoury) and some vegan options, which I always appreciate. Quality of the food was good, nothing surprising but considering the price it met the expectations. Only negative point for me is that decoration is kind of dark and with low daylight and I prefer brighter places, but that’s something personal. Service was quick, although you need to order at the bar, but the they bring the food to the table.

What a lovely hidden gem. In town for 1 night and was recommended to eat here. Tucked away the place was super busy but staff were coping. No drama. Pizzas were great and hot, made to order. Great local ales on offer and staff were super friendly. Would return

Great place. Plenty of craft ales and excellent pizzas. Only thing that let it down - there was only one staff behind the bar. It took ages to get drinks every time.

Cycled from London today and planned to catch a train back. Without thinking, I ordered two pizzas and two amazing stouts (highly recommend if you love a good stout! 🍺). Then reality hit — we were short on time! ⏳ The team went above and beyond, rushing our order and even throwing in a pizza cutter so we could enjoy our food on the train. A+ hospitality and super tasty pizzas — absolute legends! 🙌🍕

used to be amazing, feels like it’s lost its way a bit? their own beers always seem to be sold out, and it’s only really generic branded beers available now sadly, pizzas still look good

Such a great venue. Great range of beers ales ciders and loads of other stuff I remain unaware of. Pizza are great too . If you want a beer and pizza night ... I don't know of anywhere better.

Absolutely great find in Dover. The beers were smooth and the pizza was excellent. Brilliant value for money, quick and friendly service. You can also ask to get your favourite pints to be put in cans to take away. Dog friendly 🐶 Highly recommended!

Wonderful place. Real dilemma... They have a huge range of beers (cask and key keg) and normally I would work my way through a goodly number of halves. However, the first, 3.5% Dover Pale Ale is as fresh as you like and utterly delicious. Stick or twist? That’s the question. So many beers to try though...

Booked the phoenix railway club to host my wedding reception we had the food buffet organised for us and hired the sweet cart and disco from the venue it was a perfect size for our 140 guests it also has a play area for the children in their garden all the staff was amazing and very helpful from the time of booking right through to the reception will definitely use again and highly recommend them

Nice friendly, family orientated social club

Friendly staff warm welcome very clean. Parking at rear. outside drinking social area covered. Large screen for tv sports. Darts skittles pool table. New play park under construction bingo on Thursday night's. New earlier open times on a Friday. Now from 3.30-11.00. Open all day sat and Sunday Tuesday to Thursday 6.-10.30

Same drink when I went to bar but price kept going higher, bit strange

Always a great time had at this venue.

It's ok not much atmosphere and cold in the winter

Service good,food very good

Comedy night with London based performers, Canterbury Tales, decor steeped in Jazz history of pub. Friendly and accommodating staff. It's my go to pub as a single lady.

I visited here today (Monday 18/09/2017) at about 13:30. I could see the TV was on...but despite trying both doors...I found them locked...no one answered them to allow entry? Won't be back. Luckily, 100m away is a fantastic pub, who actually open when they say so.

A CAMRA pub in the Good Pub Guide, so expect good ale. There are normally four ales on tap, plus a couple of lagers. Cider is available both on tap and bottled including various fruits. Wednesday is home cooking night with good main meals for £5 and ale reduced to £2.50 (both correct at time of review 2017). A renouned location for music every weekend. Sunday night is always jazz night, Friday and Saturday have a varied mix of live music.

Sweet sounds from great bands. User friendly rocked me last night and the band tonight were just getting started but i had to go. If you want a night out in Dover then i recomend The Louis Armstong 😀😀

Legendary pub music venue in Dover. Some great bands appear here, like Hey Rudi, although the stage is not in the best location. There is a good range of well kept local real ales available.

OK little pub. Went there on a live music evening and it was packed to the rafters!!! Left early as it was really to busy to move or stand in comfortably. Probably much nicer on a quiet evening.

Great local real pub with great live music mist Fri n Sat nights. Friendly staff and regulars good selection of real ales that change regularly.

You can’t come to the United Kingdom and not stop at a proper British pub! Culling Yard is a classic sea port pub. Great atmosphere, good food and the beer and drinks are spot on. I always have to get a pie, chips and a pint anytime I make it in. Cullins delivers! If you’re walking around by the Dover Sea Front, do yourself a favor and wander over for lunch or dinner and a drink. You won’t regret it. The service is great and the pub is perfect!

Excellent food and a great ambiance! We truly had a good time here. The service was fantastic, and the restaurant offers a really good variety of food options. Highly recommend!

3 of us came here for lunch on a weekend. This place is decorated in the most amazing way, its like a museum! Love the indoor seating, there's also lots of seating outdoors. We shared fish and chips and a side of veg, all delicious! I can imagine this place being so cosy in the winter too so good for all year round! Will definitely stop by again when I visit Dover.

We’ve always been a fan of Cullins yard its atmosphere, it’s got a great outdoor area and the inside has enough to keep the eyes and mind busy. The offering of beers is good with nice European beers. The only flaw is the service and the portioning of the food. We had a bit of a ritual of when we are in town that we would go there sit in the sun and order fish and chips. The Cod is good but the sizes vary from order to order on our most recent visit we ordered the large Cod, when it showed up it was slight on the small size and the not many chips mostly hidden under the fish. The salad was tired. We highlighted to the waiting staff that there wasn’t much chips, they responded with that’s the portion. As we finished up we saw three customers food being delivered to their table the sheer size difference was very much noticeable we prompted the waitress to how could ours be considered a large when the one that just went past us had a larger considerably meatier piece of fish. She then gave us a response that was so undefinable that we couldn’t follow. What we considered might not be large by other large might be small. It was very hard to give a response to the waitress because it it didn’t make any sense what she said. The waitress continued by saying she couldn’t comment on the size of the portion as she didn’t make the dish. That in all honesty is an undermining the situation and shows a complete disregard for service. We all know waiting staff doesn’t cook the food and a simple we are sorry that you didn’t think the food portion size was not good enough and relaying to the kitchen/management would’ve gone a long way and would’ve been the end of the situation. It’s sad because overall we love cullens yard next time we will go for drinks only. I’ve included pics of our fish and the gents next to us fish.

Wonderful in every way. They had a brand new menu with excellent vegan options. Service was warm and prompt. The view is serene and scenic. Vegan meatballs were lovely and the portion size was generous. Highly recommended for vegans in Dover!

Oh what a delicious meal I had at Cullens. It was a simple bangers and mash, but vegan. The flavour was excellent, and so very satisfying. It felt like home. The staff were welcoming and happy. My meal was served quite quickly.

Visited for food and drinks. I have updated my review as visited the restaurant again and thankfully the meal was great! I had the battered haddock and chips. The portion size was excellent, freshly cooked tasty and a great atmosphere in order to eat. The staff were attentive, and friendly. Will visit again!

Food is good, very good. I am a huge fan of the burgher so I order it most of the time. Is a cosy place, when you seat there you will just lay back and relax. Even when the place is full is never too loud and you can have a normal conversation without shouting. At list twice a month we are there and just enjoy a nice meal and some chill. Service is always fast and the staff is always smiling and nice. Strongly recommend this place.

The carvery at The Rock Rose offers excellent value for money – the food is well-priced for what you get. The choice of meat is cooked beautifully, tender and flavourful, and there’s a good choice of vegetables to go with it. The atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly, and staff are generally friendly and helpful. At busy times (especially Sundays) there can be queues and the quality of some sides like roast potatoes can vary a little, but overall it’s a solid and satisfying carvery experience that’s well worth a visit.

Was a nice quiet evening. The only issue to me, it's an self order place lacks the personal touch of a waiter or waitress. The bowls for the starter were rusted, and in contact with the food, a bit of a food safety issue. In general, the food was average, not enough sauces on the plate, but it tasted ok. Would go again but wouldn't be near the top of any list as a must go place.

Very surprised only live one mile away comfortable clean very good service and menu is great only downside is cost of soft drinks

Lovely staff, beautiful burger with very quick service

Solid gastro-pub with quick service. Most people come for the carvery, but the set menu food is usually better. Always comes out hot and full of flavour. Staff are attentive and always willing to help. Try to avoid Sundays as they have long lines for the carvery.

Its a friendly lovely warm place 2 b & they done a excellent job decorating the hall 4 us we had a great time & the food was lovely 2 that 23th August 2025 good job guys love it xx

Don't know what's happened to the Chinese food lately but today's was awful. It was like everything was chucked in the same uncle benz sause and frozen. I've never had a chop suey that came in gravy. And in all the food the meat was almost a slimy congealed texture. The chicken balls were just mushy and ineadable. Previously left a good review but after this experience will unlikely to try again. Sorry but I know you can do better.

Weird situation here. Pub in front and Chinese restaurant in back. Suspect separate ownership. But they lack coordination. Chinese restaurant has no drink menu but they serve drinks from the pub. What kind of beer do you have? They have no idea. Ordered starter and entree. But entree comes first. This happens a lot at computerized chain restaurants but my order was given to the woman who seemed to be the owner here so no excuse. Would have knocked them down another star but food was somewhat tasty. Although Chicken Chop Suey was really just chicken with chinese onions and bean sprouts. But it filled me up and no major disasters.

Amazing live music and delicious food. Morgan and the staff took such good care of us!

We are regulars here, the food atmosphere and service is always 10/10, I can’t highly recommend this place enough, we loved it that much we had our after party for our wedding here and invited 60+ guests. Always warmly welcomed from Linda, Morgan and the other amazing staff!

Archers has been our favourite go to Chinese for about a year now. Latest one being today. Ordering easy Lots to choose from Prices great Delivery service, friendly and on time Food freshly made and still hot, portions are large and delicious.

Went for a lunchtime meal and although we were the only diners, everything was spot on. Will definitely be back and confidently recommend. Food we couldn't finish went into containers and was just as delicious the next day.

Excellent Chinese food, fresh and very tasty. Very generous portions. Definately visit again soon. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼

We waited in line about 20 minutes to order. The fish and chips needed some salt and was a tad greasy for our liking. The Thai prawns were very good and the service was friendly. We loved the open air building on a beautiful day listening to music in the square.

Great service and good food. The chicken sandwich special was very thick and good. I had by The little boys that were with your dad I got spinach and burger I had the loaded chicken fries and they were fantastic! Music in the square and in the pub. Good times

After a long day of walk. It was nice to sit and have some cold drinks. The food was surprisingly good, especially the Chorizo croquettes and overall it was good value

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, cheerful, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavor and beautifully presented. We asked our server for recommendations for both vegetarian and chicken dishes, and they gave us excellent suggestions that turned out to be just perfect. Everything we tried was spot on! What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was incredibly kind, joyful, and attentive. They made us feel right at home with their friendly attitude and really enhanced the whole dining experience. It’s rare to come across someone who clearly enjoys their job and goes the extra mile to make guests feel special. The happy, relaxed vibe of the restaurant, paired with the great food and outstanding service, made for a truly memorable visit. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a positive atmosphere!

This is the scampi and chips with minted peas. Had an No. 5 ale to wash it down. Yummy! We loved sitting outside on the square making for a great combination of dining and atmosphere. Give it a try when in Dover.

After a long hike on the cliffs, this pub was the perfect rest stop for us. Staff was personable and welcoming. Enjoyed the platter and beer.

We ate here today after walking from Shepherdswell… so we were hungry! A delicious meal … great fish & chips and fabulous service & advice from Sam.

You can't book the weather but it will make or break a visit. Luckily for my visit it was clear and dry. France was visible through rain showers passing up the channel. Breathtaking walk along to the Fan Bay tunnels which are well worth a visit. Interesting tour led by knowledgeable volunteers.

White cliffs is an amazing place to visit, not necessarily you need to be super fit. Just take your time and enjoy the scenery. Amazing and breathtaking. (Especially the stairs if you decide to walk trough the Port😅) but if you want you can go with the car😊

Iconic & legendary site The white cliffs of Dover appeared in so many movies that I was really happy to see them with my eyes directly. I was not disappointed. The majesty of those cliffs is quite impressive. It is overall a beautiful area to walk around and get some amazing sea views. Not sure about those who saw the French coast, we could not. Maybe the day was just to dark? Those cliffs are gorgeous & we enjoyed our time here, the views on the castle are also great from here. I also recommend coming early as if you do, you will have the place for yourself. Note there were toilets available. Lat but not least, the parking was great but slightly challenging as you have to somewhat climb a bit with you car to reach it. Highly recommended visit!

This was a bucket list of mine for a long time and it was well worth the wait. Do note: to get to the top you need to book a taxi because taxis are not always easy to find neither are Ubers. We were dropped off right by the cafe and gift shop. From there you begin walking along the chalk white hills with stunning views of the blue sea. The land is vibrant green with flowers and butterflies and birds. It is well preserved by the National trust and hats off to them for a job well done.

Stunning! The view of the white cliffs is breathtaking. Amazing trail to walk if you got more than one hour to spare. We got additional view of the Dover port also which is interesting too. No ticket needed, only pay if you drive and park your vehicle there.

Amazing walk at sunrise! Gravel trails are wide, even and extremely well marked. Can walk the trail all the way up to the lighthouse and then loop back around. Parking lot is triple leveled and actually open even before "opening" hours if trying to go at sunrise. Toilets at the cafe were very well kept and cafe had lots of fun gifts, great donation library and sweet little cafe. Lots of tables and spots to sit outside and look at the water. Awesome way to spend most of the day!

Our taxi dropped us off at the far end of the hike at the light house and we walked back to the visitor center. Absolutely stunning day and experience. Takes about an hour or two (with exploration/lots of pausing) to do the hike. There's a defined crumbled rock path and smaller trails leading along closer to the edge of the cliffs.

From the first instance of dining at Churchill bar & lounge, we were warmly welcomed by Rehan (bar manager) with the utmost highly commendable hospitality. His attention to detail, friendly and professional customer service, drew us to dine every time under his management. We highly recommend to visit and experience the applaudable culinary menu cupped with management’s bespoke customer care. Thank you Rehan and Crew for making our trip a memorable time. We will visit again purely on the basis of your customer satisfaction.

Churchill Bar and lounge, is absolutely fabulous. Delicious food, fantastic service, very friendly staff and most importantly excellent cocktails. I was made a fabulous cocktail for my birthday, which I very much enjoyed. Beautiful and welcoming environment. Very clean and tidy, I would definitely give this place and the staff 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, wonderful evening and birthday. Mandy

First time visiting this lovely 4 star hotel on the clean pebble beach front. The Dover Marina spa hotel has a few trendy restaurants on site. Unfortunately The Chophouse restaurant is closed for renovations. We enjoyed a nice evening meal and a few cocktails from the bar on the terrace patio area, which were lovely. Staff here are attentive, friendly & can't do enough to help, especially Dennis & José who made sure we were comfortable and everything correct. Other outstanding staff with explimarly impeccable customer service skills worthy of mentioning is Cha from the Churchill Bar and restaurant & chefs Daniel Kingsley. The afternoon teas dainty presentation is impressive. Fresh & tasty selection of cakes, finger sandwiches & a fresh clotted cream & jam scone which turned out to be quite filling! See attached photos. We stayed four nights in room 116 a very comfortable & spacious room on the first floor. We appreciated the air conditioning throughout during the current heatwave. There was an issue with the bedroom AC not working on day 3 but it was quickly repaired. On day one there were fire alarms going off which meant lifts didn't work so we had to walk up a couple flights of stairs with our luggage! Only two tiny lifts and old staircases so tried to avoid the lifts during check-in and checkout times. I had two rejuvenating relaxing 60 min spa massages over two days, from Katie & Donna who gave professional treatments. Check out Groupon first for afternoon tea & massage special offers as unfortunately booking spa offers directly worked out more expensive for me by £20+! Sadly their steam room was broken the whole time I stayed (closed due to heatstroke!). I was disappointed as steam room was my first preference. Just a short stroll to the town centre, on flat streets no steep hills good for those with less physical mobility. Limited chain stores, all basics covered. Overall, a nice first staycation experience. I will be returning! Thank you 😊 🙏

Had the most perfect caesar salad and bottle of wine here with some live music! Couldn’t believe I was in Dover! Jose was attentive and nothing was too much trouble! Made our experience 10/10!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The experience was excellent from start to finish. The receptionist at Churchill Bar and Lounge was especially outstanding — very friendly, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome. Service and atmosphere were top-class with beautiful sea views. Highly recommend!” 🌊🍸✨ For sure I will be back with family next time visit .

I had only a drink but Jose was very welcoming and explained the drinks list thoroughly. I'll definitely come back to try their food because the atmosphere was great.

Very nice welcome and professional service from Rob. The bar area is elegant (for Dover standards). Rose wine (£28 per bottle) was actually quite good. The lighting needs work as it was far too bright. Shame the men in grey suits (from same demographic) created an old-school image that didn’t match what they seem to strive for.

Lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere. The garden is a great space and there is plenty of parking around the back. Dog friendly.

Perfect pub in many ways. Gorgeous garden with space, skittles, kids play, a shallow stream… and a menu that caters to all tastes and vegetarians and vegans too. Traditional unfussy fare, but genuine warmth and classic vibes. We loved it.

Had a very nice light lunch,wife had crispy duck spring rolls myself tried French panini. Both were very tasty. Staff were very helpful and polite. Give the Fox a try, you will enjoy it.

I like the Fox, one of the last bastions of a proper little country pub. The beer garden with the trees and stream is lovely on a Summer's eve. They host Smash Burgers there a couple of nights a week, which are simply delicious! Also, good choice of some tasty proper beers. The Red Kite is spot-on! (Dear The Fox, I was writing about somewhere entirely different the other day, 'Misty' doesn't work at your place at all!! Apologies, review deleted and corrected! :) )

Come here a few times a year for a big family gathering to the extent the owners know and recognise the whole family. Always come for the carvery and it's always exceptional. A lovely small friendly pub with a great choice of drinks behind the bar. Been coming for years and we will continue to do so

Went for smash burger evening , we were not disappointed at all , can't wait to go again .

amazing burgers good selection of beers great garden

A well maintained memorial to Louis Blériot's successful flight across the channel in 1909, situated at the place he landed. There's some seating and an information board, though no other facilities. It's only a few minutes walk from the free parking area below Dover Castle.

Absolutely stunning hike to the Bleriot Memorial! The trail offers breathtaking views along the way, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. The memorial itself is a fascinating piece of history, and the surrounding landscape adds to its charm. Highly recommend for both history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts!

Great place to stop at on the walk between the White cliffs and Dover castle. Really cool bit of aviation history

Floor plaque for Bleriot where he landed his plane after crossing the channel. Its located in the Dover castle overflow car park behind the castle. Nothing there apart for a information board and a seating area.

Quite difficult to find from the road and the memorial is small but nice. The car park is quite big with a good view of Dover Castle

More a woodland walk than a museum, but a lovely and tranquil place. The memorial is small but interesting. The main reason to come here is on a hot sunny day when you want some fresh air and plenty of shade. There's loads of parking and it's only busy when Dover Castle has an event on and they use it for overflow parking. Otherwise it's nice and quiet and you can wander around, appreciate nature and just relax. It's not a big place, so you won't be here that long, but it's a nice way to spend the time.

The memorial is well presented but the surrounding area is completely overgrown(and different from when Bleriot flew in, so you cannot see the relative location of the site). The footpath to the memorial was blocked by a fallen tree which we picked our way round. When we visited the car parking was nearly all blocked by a film crew's marquees etc. The information provided about Bleriot is interesting.

A beautifully preserved medieval building steeped in history. The recent renovation has tastefully preserved the hall's historic features while expanding access and improving the visitor experience. We did a loop around the two larger rooms. You don't need to spend any more than 15 minutes here but we spent nearly an hour! Staff at the front desk were very informative and friendly, even going so far as to show us a 3D virtual tour of the building pre-refurb. As it is only a 10 minute walk from Dover Priory station, it is a must see for anyone visiting the White Cliffs.

Great attraction, really well renovated. You will not spend too long here but it is worth a visit. I am told they plan to open a cafe in the future.

What a hidden gem. Room upon room of history, set in a grand architectural background. Former kings and queens stood here, and used up to modern day council chambers and courts. And you can even stay to savour full immersion.

Excellent and well worth the diversion. Far better than the museum down the road. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who were happy to share details or leave you on your own. Just like a modern "experience" should be.

Visiting Dover you must pop in to experience the history. Great architecture and high level of customer service. Big Thank You to Sean and Olga.

Beautiful venue that can comfortably sit 240, not many places can accommodate those types of numbers. Beautiful food and friendly staff

Fabulous place so much history and the work these guys have done restoring this House. We dearly hope so

That was so delicious. I had the Sunday roast with beef, it was so good. The red cabbage was spiced perfectly with star anise, the beef was sliced delicately and tender, potatoes roasted by a professional and a huge fluffy Yorkshire pudding all covered in gravy. I’m so full and satisfied. I tried a chip of my wife’s fish and chips and wow, I love this place. You can sit outside over the river and dogs are welcome. The service was spot on, I just can’t say enough of how great everything was. It’s a definite 5 stars plus more if I could give them.

Had a lovely Sunday roast and enjoyed a few pints on the outdoor patio. Highly recommend for an afternoon pint in the sun.

Passed by on a walk to the castle from the cruise ship terminal. Love to see the English Pubs and their coats of arms and thematically this would be the place for me as I have long respected and admired Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson. Sadly it was not open when I passed in the morning and I was too tired on the way back after trudging around for hours.

Had a really nice meal at the Lord Nelson off the back of a recommendation from a local friend. We popped in before a party in town for a drink and some food and it didn't disappoint. My partner had the fish and chips which had a light crispy batter and amazing mushy peas and tartare sauce. I had the sea bass with crushed potatoes and caper butter which was amazing too. We had a side of the calamari which came with a dip and side salad which added to this excellent starter. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Definitely recommend trying this lovely little bar and restaurant.

Table of 10 all had great food. I personally had the sea bass and swapped the new potatoes for mashed potato. No quibbles more than happy to do so. The sea bass was phenomenal. Crispy on the skin and succulent fish. The best sea bass I have had. I would 100% recommend.. portion sizes are perfect. 10/10 Small menu but something for all. Enables the food to be top top quality

Visited this adorable pub/restaurant after a huge walk to the castle and cliffs. We got a table straight away. So far, the best fish and chips I've had in the UK, also the best Mushy Peas I've ever had (and I don't like mushy peas all that much). The server (I'm so sorry whoever was working that day- Thursday 22nd May, around 7pm, I didn't catch your name), was amazing and very attentive. If we find ourselves in Dover again, we will definitely return.

Visited this during our recent trip to Dover on a very warm day. Lovely bar with friendly people. Had a Gin and Pimm’s cocktail, both were yummm. Enjoyed my time trying to complete the puzzle 😬 Also special mention for the very clean toilets 🙂

Best place to get your lunch or breakfast from if you like to decide what you want in your roll or sandwich. Propper coffees as good as Costa just doesn't Costa as much. And the cakes are 👌

Lovely place .Sharon the owner kindly made Scrambled Eggs and Bread and butter for my dear old Mum with dementia.It wasn't on the menu but she didn't hesitate to cater for her .

Quick service, well-packed, and a sandwich that hit the spot.👌👌👌👌😁

Just the kinda place I needed it to be. Inexpensive with high quality food. No complaints; really liked my sandwich. Plus, banter with the lady at the counter was fun.

Having walked past this place on my way to the station for years, I finally went in the other day and it is just brilliant. The lady who runs it is lovely and she made me the best tuna salad roll - really quickly. The coffee is excellent and nothing is over-priced. Not walking past there any more if I can help it :-)

It's a decent little sandwich place that does good bacon butties etc. in the morning and nice coffee. It is very small with no seating, so is really takeaway only. They might have some seats out in the better weather. Food is pretty decent and excellent value. The lady who served me was friendly and pleasant. Would recommend.

Brilliant!!! I had a baguette, 2 eggs, 1 sausage and 2 bacon and it was superb 👌 £4.50 Great service and very welcoming.

Seems beautiful from the outside, but it's very much a hostel in a cramped old building. It does the job, as the beds were good, but the shared bathroom was not a good experience. Pretty sure the person that checked us in was drunk/high af.

Didn't visit the bar, just stayed at the hostel above. Here I was warmly welcomed and shown around. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and private with a curtain. Each bed had its own lamp but unfortunately no socket. There were sockets distributed in the room. There was fast free WiFi throughout the house. The bathroom was big and clean. Overall I had a wonderful undisturbed stay. I can only recommend!

Stayed at the room for one night, Jeff was so kind and the style of the rooms and bathroom has such character! Cozy like a home, clean, kitchen access and quiet.

Landlord was super friendly and welcoming our room was clean and inviting for a super price. The bar was welcoming but unfortunately, as like most smaller pubs, was quiet which is unfortunate as the landlord is a welcoming chap as is the staff who work with him would have loved to try the food but having my 6 year old who got hungry on our journey down was forced to stop en route but maybe next time.

Arrived much later than our planned 2330 hrs time but still received a warm welcome. Managed to find a space for our bicycles too. A comfortable bed and organised facilities. It would be good to stay a bit longer next time. Bring ear plugs - it is in the middle of Dover.

Lovely and clean hostel with seperate bedrooms for men and women. Free use of lockers. Cozy bunkbeds with curtains for privacy. The city center and castle are within walking reach. If you're seeking for an affordable place to stay for the night, this is a good choice.

Lively friendly pub, a proper drinking pub. They don't serve food but I arrived on a darts match night so the landlord haf laid on pizza & they generously invited me to tuck in. I'd already eaten but it was a much appreciated gesture. The hostel was pretty good, generous sized bunk beds with clean sheets & a curtain for privacy. The shared bathroom shower was a good size & clean. As a place to catch a few hours kip before catching a ferry it was perfect, especially considering the price. Great value, definitely would use again.

We came here for dinner on the recommendation of a local that we met on our train ride. She was spot on. The atmosphere was comfortable, the staff was friendly, the cider was delicious and the fish and chips were amazing! My husband and I who don’t eat large meals shared one and we were glad that we did. My only regret was that we did not have enough room for the toffee pudding.

One of the best Sunday Roasts I have ever had:) I have planned a day trip to Dover Castle and this is my lunch break stop - Roasted Pork Belly is amazing with the crispy skin and tendered juicy fat. The side is surprisingly good - normally the roast will be with roasted veggie but the cheese cauliflower amazed me!

The pub was warm and cozy, the Staff absolutely friendly, despite having plenty to do, they were always smiling and looking if everything was alright. Some Minor mishap with the dessert (Timing went wrong and my friends arrived earlier than mine) was no big Deal with everyone doing their best to bring it out as fast as possible. The food was absolutely delicious and arranged beautifully. I highly recommend this place!

Our party of 13 had the most wonderful meal that served as a family reunion after several decades. The atmosphere and the truly incredible food were much appreciated. Particular thanks to the talented chef. Thank you so much to all the staff at The White Horse, most especially Jayden for your wonderful service and thoughtfulness.

Just stopped in here for an evening meal across the road from the Travelodge where we are staying overnight en-route to France. Very enjoyable in all respects!

If you can find the White Horse, you can find Hubert Passage which leads up to the castle. I passed by Early so it was not open and was too weary on my return although there were good smells coming from within (food and beer)

A classically great Pub & Restaurant! Recommended/highly suggested to make reservations if you plan to eat here, but had seating for drinks-only if you're a walk-in. The staff are really kind and funny (shout out to Jayden!) and the space was quaint and eclectic. Fish & chips were excellent, menu was diverse, and we will come back next time we're in Dover!

Typical old style local pub. The two good beers had run out so had to make do with an Amstel, don't know if it was just where I was sitting but the pungent smell of the toilets was drifting towards my table. The barmaid was fairly friendly and by the sound of it was run off her feet which probably explains why my arms were sticking to the table as there probably wasn't enough time to clean them. Maybe on a different day I would've had a better experience?

Being disabled, diabetic, walking with a stick and other ailments. I desperately needed the toilet and so I went in here and asked if I could use the toilet. Yes some landlady or barmaid said, but put some money in the charity box. I was upset by this. People should think 🤔

Had a wonderful time Sunday open mic night which is every Sunday definitely worth it and will be coming back this Sunday amazing atmosphere great bar staff to

I will never go to this pub ever again as a bar person for 18 years. Witnessing men beating a lady and getting away with it is not acceptable.its disgraceful shame on the police for doing naff all As for the bar staff you really need to get another job very unwelcoming and clicky. The landlords will never earn enough money with sour faced bar staff

Classic pub, cheap beers and a pool table. Literally my happy place. Friendly staff and locals alike.

Can't rate the food as I didn't eat there but the atmosphere was good and there was an excellent live band playing.

Very rude staff went to use the toliet and got shouted at by a women behind the bar very disrespectful and disgusting behaviour

The food here was fantastic. Very fresh, good portions and reasonably priced. We paid £36 for two mains of seafood paella and haddock & a large chips, and sweet was additional. Went on a Friday night, it was a local pub, it was vibrant, busy, and many locals enjoying themselves. Service was good, although slow, because it was so busy. We will go back again, this time, to try out their Sunday roast.

Does a fantastic Sunday roast! Very reasonably priced washed down with a very well poured Guinness 👌

Very nice pub! Lovely people and ambiance, great food. We came here from the Netherlands for the second time. We’re absolutely coming back for a third time next year!

A fantastic local restaurant and pub, with wonderful staff (with lovely welcoming attitude), and great customers. A fantastic addition to my favourite places to be. 💗

Daughter held a christening buffet here in garden area lovely space and great friendly atmosphere, smaller children played with skittles the buffet supplied was lovely and service was superb even though they was also serving the Sunday roasts we was still looked after. Recommended place to go. We will be booking for a Sunday roast as looked Devine.

Just had a lovely roast dinner here. It took quite a while for the food to come out as they were busy but the food was very tasty and we will definitely be going back soon!

My partner and I love to eat out on a Sunday and we have found a gem, the food was excellent as was the friendly service, well worth a visit and yes we will be going back

Very friendly pub with great service from the owner. A real ale pub with a good selection of beers, ciders and lots of charm. Enjoyed the atmosphere chatting to the locals. Will visit again if in Dover.

Lovely family run micropub, well worth a visit. Great atmosphere and nice beer selection.

googled things to do in dover as we were there for the night before going on to calais the next day as foot passengers.this pub had great reviews so we sought it out. when we first walked through the door i thought we were in somebody's front room, small place with a couple of tables and some easy chairs, no bar. was greeted by the owners who fetch your drinks once you have made a choice from the menu on the wall.there were just over half a dozen people in, 4 were fellow travelers from the midlands and the other 3 locals, everybody chatted and laughed together for the entire time we were in the pub, it was a completely new experience, the owners and their daughter were also lovely. if you're in dover for a night and you like a decent pint and a chat, this place is a must.

I enjoyed this pub first time I visited, bit I persuaded a team do to start here. Even the hardened larger drinkers loved it and the cider fans enjoyed working their way through the extensive cider menu. Great place and an attentive landlord. Even the team cocktail drinker found some great find to keep him happy.

A fantastic,unique establishment. More akin to having a drink in someone's front room. Amazing selection of ales, ciders , English wines and over 50 gins ! Amazing host who knows about all the drinks down to the minute detail. And it's all fairly priced. Highly recommended

We were in Dover seeing family this January, Gem of a Pub, beer is excellent, huge choice, being a Cider drinker heaven! Tom is a great guy, made us feel very welcome. We popped in four times in our five day visit, highly recommended .

Excellent service!!! A really nice place to have a drink and an amazing talk with your mate!

Nice authentic local pub. Family run and friendly. Staff are always a good laugh. Many locals frequent this establishment, and they usually do theme nights and events. Nice patio at the back that leads down to the waters edge. Good price on the all-important booze.

Great owners. Fantastic staff Lively proper pub with extremely good pricing I love sitting on the decking out the back which sits over the stream. Beautiful setting

Had a 40th birthday here for my best friend and have to say the venue was VERY GOOD....lovely private area out the back with a gorgeous veranda by the river. The staff were awesome....super friendly and helpful. Drinks are also very reasonably priced!! Highly recommended!! X x

It was our first time visiting this pub, it's just the type of venue I enjoyed, small and friendly, the bar staff were very friendly. Will definitely be going back.

Had my mother's wake at the endeavor using there function room and having a buffet laid on by Deborah all I can say is that the food was very good and value for money and the bar staff were very accommodating and helpful. So a big thank you to Deborah and her staff . I would recommend the Endevour public house to anyone that need a function.

Took a trip down memory lane here. Haven't been to this pub for around 40 yrs. Really happy they are still operating. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Great little deck by the River Dour out the back. The Caffreys pint was the best.

Private function room hired. No cost for room. Paid for food to be made and bought drinks there. Staff really friendly and helpful. Room is ideal for a party and is child friendly. Lovely patio at the rear on the river bank. Would highly recommend it.

Big thanks to the owner of the pub and everyone who partied with us on Saturday!!! It was absolutely awesome 😊 Great music, fun dancing, and a friendly atmosphere 😊😊. As a guest in this country, I felt like home ❤️ Highly recommend!!! 😊 And thank you 🤗🤗

Good place, good price drink. £5 minimum on card but they suggest buying 2 which I did. (Who goes into a pub for one) A real locals pub which is friendly. I've been in 3 or 4 ( over a few months)times and they say hello

Very nice friendly public house. If, you like to watch football on big screens, this is the place to be with loads of football memorabilia around the house.

Great pub, Wonderful service with very reasonable prices. Great landlord who made our sons 18th birthday so special.

Not a bad pub with two free pool tables for customers only with a £5 deposit on the cues. There is an outside area out back and lots of people drink and smoke out front as well. Drinks are reasonably priced and staff are good.

As I mentioned above, businesses with history, football and so on in general do not deserve to "die" like this!... Today, the seventeenth of September, I was here. It is an amazing business that has passion. I'm not a native Dover, nor an Englishman, but I can at least recommend this wonderful establishment full of noisy and good-hearted Englishmen. ME: I am sitting on a comfortable bar stool, upholstered. My "ritka" (it's mean a "BUM") is fine... I will order a beer AND ASK PERMISSION to take pictures of the premises. I don't even answer, so the barmaid immediately starts calling the owner (+)... Within 114 seconds, the owner is downstairs, where I dream of announcing, finding out how things are going here, and last but not least, praising his staff. Beauty to do with such people. No food served here, card payment over £5, free billiards for all "drink them". Beautiful surroundings, full of LIVERPOOL.... Beautiful, safe, clean premises. Parking behind the building, on the street. Beautiful, gentle.. .Just kidding... Because the beer is so harsh that you need another one. And that's just fine, for this establishment.! I recommend 5 out of 5!!!

Stumbled across this by accident as we got very lost in the area. Craig and his wife were brilliant hosts had a few drinks lots of laughs, really felt welcome 😄 made our evening complete. Drinks good prices locals were friendly they even called us a cab to get us back to where we were staying and shots were an added bonus. Thanks Craig couldn't have done more for us and made us more welcome. Anyone nearby must visit won't get better hosts anywhere. Jeff and Jen (Essex)

I came to Bluebirds in Dover for a wedding reception and had such a brilliant time. The venue is lovely, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for both weddings and parties. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the night, and the service was spot on. The space worked really well for celebrating, with plenty of room for dancing and a great bar. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I’d definitely recommend Bluebirds for birthdays, weddings, or any kind of celebration

Bluebirds is a fantastic venue with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent service throughout. The staff are friendly and attentive, making sure everything runs smoothly, and the setting itself is both comfortable and stylish. Whether you’re there for food, drinks, or a special occasion, it has the perfect balance of relaxation and quality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place that feels both warm and memorable

Had a brilliant experience at Bluebirds — the venue is beautifully kept and has such a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and really made the visit enjoyable. Everything from the atmosphere to the service felt spot on, and it’s definitely somewhere I’d be happy to return to. A real gem of a place.

Attended a wedding reception at Bluebirds in Dover and it was a brilliant evening. The venue looked beautiful, the staff were really friendly, and everything ran smoothly. Great place for a party or special occasion — would happily come back again

Have visited this venue many times over the years, always had a lovely experience. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. Highly recommend!

Amazing venue! Rooms decorated lovely toilets are so clean and lots of photo ops! Amazing vibe x

Great value venue, with a newly furnished smaller venue, music could been a tad lower in small venue...especially when a party celebration...felt like nightclub

A nice, friendly pub. Highly recommended

Landlady was lovely and welcoming. Atmosphere was great. Fairly priced and very friendly.

Went here for my birthday they were having a karaoke night atmosphere was amazing and the young Irish guy behind the bar was amazing apparently the owners son xx brilliant atmosphere and evening. THANKYOU. PETE XX

Nice pub friendly customers, and staff

Great Atmosphere and friendly locals. Really good prices too £3.50 pint of Carlsberg & £3.60 for house double vodka and a splash! Well worth a visit.

Excellent neighborhood pub, good beers and friendly staff and customers

Nice little pub that has pleasant community spirit! Good competitive prices! Welcoming and friendly!

Intimate live music venue in Dover. Friendly staff. Reasonable choice of drinks.

Vibes, exquisite cocktails, great wine and the coolest tunes. Day time > Evening.. you can’t go wrong!

The Art Club is the nicest place in town for a coffee and toastie. Or cocktails in the evening! I’ve also had a private event here and the staff are very accommodating to help you celebrate.

Good vibes friendly atmosphere, lots of great cocktails and they make great coffees for the morning yet to try there new toasties

Great coffee, great toasties (new but fab addition), great cocktails, great tunes, great service & great vibes. Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere inside or out! Always great music being played and dog friendly which is always a plus ❤️

Best coffee I have ever had. SUPPORT LOCAL

Cracking little micropub tucked away on the High Street, about a ten-minute stroll from the train station. Got a genuinely warm welcome from the fella behind the bar (wish I’d caught his name) — proper friendly. Inside, there are four or five tables by the window overlooking the street, plus a few stools at the bar. Out back, there’s a sunny little beer garden with a handful of tables — perfect spot to relax. The cider selection was top-notch: at least six different choices on tap. I had a pint of raspberry followed by a pint of mango — both just £4 a pop. When I commented on the price, the barman smiled and said, “I know what you're going to say. It's cheap.” Spot on. There were also several IPAs on offer, if that's more your thing. All in all, a proper gem — well worth a visit.

Lovely welcoming micropub with a selection of three cask ales available. They cater for cider drinkers too but I came just for the beer. The beer is very reasonably priced. At £4 a pint it is cheaper than the two other pubs I visited. I will come again on my next visit to Dover.

Jay is a friendly, old school landlord who knows his craft and has a great range of exceptionally well kept ales and an even longer list of local ciders. My good friend, who lives in Dover, has been telling me for ages what a great little pub this is and I wasn't disappointed when he finally took me there. I just wished I had this kind of place on my doorstep.

A truly welcoming place! The landlord and landlady are lovely, the drinks are out of this world, and the venue is beautiful. Plus, it's dog-friendly! Highly recommended.

Jay and Serena both top class, great selection of drinks for a very reasonable price and a nice outside area.

fantastic small place with veryvery friendly owners and guests. had 3 pints of really interesting and special beers. huge sortiment of ciders. small nice 'garden' in the backyard. prices really very fair. definitely worth a visit! i com back in 2025 with my wife. huge thanks to the staff for feeling really comfortable!

Great little micropub. Really friendly atmosphere. Great selection of ales and ciders

Reviews of Dover's Clock Tower Square and Marina Curve are generally positive, highlighting the beautiful views and pleasant atmosphere, but some reviewers suggest the area could be more vibrant. The area features cobbled paths, flower beds, and classic street lights. The Marina Curve, part of the Western Docks Revival project, aims to attract shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants, offering a variety of dining and entertainment options.

I have to say a good name for this area would be the curve of disappointment... Dover really missed the opportunity to make this area big for the jubilee weekend. It was advertised as having live music from 1 till 4 but no sign of any music at all. There are about 4 little kiosks there but not a lot else, so much wasted space! This area really could be as big of a success at the harbour arm in Folkestone with the right planning. I really could imagine live music being a regular thing on the weekend with different outdoor areas for people to enjoy. It's a clean kept area, just think it needs more love and use from its towns folk.

Clock Tower Square & Marina Curve offer stunning views of the deep blue sea and endless sky, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere. From this beautiful waterfront location, you can gaze into the distance and admire the majestic Dover Castle perched high on the cliffs, standing as a timeless guardian over the coast. The combination of historic charm and natural beauty makes this a perfect spot for relaxation and sightseeing.

Great new outdoor space on the new Dover Marina curve pop up cafe bars and ice cream great for a visit.

Lovely little cafè in the Clock Tower, they are very friendly and offer on the menu a great breakfast.

Popped into cafe on the curve with my genuine vegan friend as I knew they cater for these weird people. I had the best chi late with oatmilk ever. They do cater for normal people too. Nice place with space away from the road to soak up the sunshine and sea air.

Interesting looking place. Passed by so did not enter.

This statue is a tribute to the man who had a huge impact on the operation: Dynamo.

Man responsible for a massive success in dynamo/dunkirk
