New on the menu ✨

Sweet, savoury, creamy, and perfectly balanced.

Our Whipped Gorgonzola is topped with charred peaches, toasted pecans, fresh rocket, and a drizzle of honey for a dish that's bursting with flavour and texture in every bite.

A perfect harmony of sweet and salty flavours 🧀

Happy Birthday to our incredible Co-Owner & Head Chef, Will 👨‍🍳 🎉
The heart of our kitchen and so much more than that — Will works tirelessly behind the scenes every single day. Not only does he run the kitchen (and somehow make it look easy), but he’s constantly taking care of the countless things no one sees that keep everything ticking.
He’s one of the most thoughtful people we know, always going the extra mile — whether that’s sourcing something special for our regulars or making sure every detail is just right.
A genuinely incredible, hardworking person who gives so much to The Dove and everyone in it. One in a million 💙
Have the best day, Will — hope you can enjoy a beer after service! 🍻
