Nestled into the countryside you will find the Dovecote Inn, which used to be a farmhouse before it became a pub in 1835. Located in North Nottinghamshire the pub is completely surrounded by countryside and sits at the top of a hill overlooking the village of Laxton, near Ollerton.
As well as a pub, the business is also a bed and breakfast and is a Channel 4 Four in a Bed winner after taking part in the 2021 series during lockdown. I was really excited to try lunch at the Dovecote Inn, as the pub has hundreds of five star reviews on TripAdvisor which praised the business for its wonderful food and friendly staff, so my expectations were high but luckily, I was not disappointed.
I decided to visit the pub on a typical Friday where I ordered some fresh orange juice and a Chicken BLT, which is a Seasoned Chicken Breast, Smoked Bacon, Crisp Lettuce, Tomato, Sundried Tomato Pesto sandwich. The food was £11, which was the average price of their lunch options, and with my drink the total came to £14, but whilst this isn't the cheapest option for a lunch, you definitely get your money’s worth in terms of quality and quantity.
