"I last reviewed The Cosy Dove at Spital Tongues a few years ago when I raved about the Theakston’s Barista Stout, which sadly due to the dismal state of the country has disappeared Mrs B is doing a nearby muddy fun run in aid of Bowel Babe cancer research today at Exhibition Park, so suffering from dodgy knees currently and not being able to stand for extended periods (go on feel sorry for me I’ve dropped into the too-near-not-to-go-into-again Cosy Dove for lunch while I wait to hear she’s completed her obligations and can be collected to sit on the bin bags to protect the car seats from her and her friends’ muddy torsos. Spellcheck says it’s torsos so why it’s not potatos and tomatos I’ll never know. Hey ho. Or maybe it’s hey hoe. Spellcheck does not guide me in this instance. Interval. I digress. The Cosy Dove was last time, and remains, excellent in every respect bar the absence of Barista Stout. I lunched on Beef Stew Cobbler with Scarborough-style Leek and Spring Onion dumplings on top broccoli, baby carrots and potato croquettes. In days gone by I reckon it’d have been creamy horseradish mash, but the aforementioned dismal state of the country has had an effect on menus nationwide I suppose- businesses need to remain viable and it’s a hard enough time for the licensed trade already. The steak was melt in the mouth soft, and the potato croquettes were crispy and pleasant. Suffice to say there is no photo of this as it was gone too quick lol, it was that good I decided to take further advantage of my presence and have a pud (oops sorry dessert too, being enticed by the Biscoff Cheesecake on the Specials Board. It appeared quicker than you can say Jack Robinson (who I’ve actually worked with previously but I reckon the cliché was created prior to his conception…… and, together with a little jug of double cream and heavenly caramel sauce on top, was consumed with haste but reverence to the time taken to create it- bought in apparently, but definitely good enough to have been home made So, no Barista Stout, but still a wide and palatable variety of liquid refreshments. See photos. And a well stocked and still eclectic spirits selection. Eclectic is a trendy description these days isn’t it. PopMaster contestants use it continually to describe their music tastes. The Cosy Dove is one of those uniquely inviting pubs where you can go in a total stranger and despite how nervous you might be, you can still strike up a conversation which is good for the soul. Huge amounts of character, parking out back, outside tables out back, side and front, and a very good time to be had in any scenario accompanied by swift, pleasant and efficient staff. Ding dong. Thanks again; see you next time I’m over this way "
