I have been so excited about writing this review and sharing with you my really lovely evening at Garfo Douro. My friend and I were very kindly invited by chef Jose and the Garfo Douro marketing manager Zoe to come and see and, of course, taste what all the fuss is about. If you haven’t heard, it’s very popular.

The Dovecote, Capel, 2 September 2017
The Dovecote is hidden away on the road between Tudeley and Capel, almost blending into a row of cottages.

This very welcoming and homely pub was a pleasant surprise.
