The Dove is a pub where time seems to have stopped in 1948 or maybe 1973. It is wooden tables, stone washed walls, wooden floors and cable knit jumpers. The priciest pint is £2.65. The landlord sports a wild mane of white hair along with a beard, steel spectacles and yes a heavy duty white cable knit jumper. Cash is the only means of transaction here; plastic - Apple or card- is literally waived away. On our visit we had no cash- nothing. As I shrugged on a coat to schlep to an ATM, the proprietor stopped me with a hand on shoulder and a benevolent gaze. “no no, says he. I’ll get the book.” And sure enough he left and returned with a thick red book, pages marked with about a hundred rubber bands. He asked my name and I began the legal description. He cut me off with “Joe’s fine” and notched a debt of £5.25 for two pints in the ledger. “Just come by anytime. No hurry. We don’t open till 5 during the week so just pop it in the letterbox and let us know it’s you.” Last call sounded with a ship’s bell and the pub slowly emptied. As we left in a haze of good feeling I reflected on this extraordinary place: no television, no food and no car park; just good pints to be enjoyed with good people. The Dove is an oasis of calm; a standing riposte to sameness of modern life. Long may she prosper!!
You're not going to get glitz and glam but if you like real ale at great prices this pub is a must go to place. Good selection of ales. And to top it off our furry friends are welcome too. Cash only no card.
A proper pub, great beer kept in perfect condition by Roger the landlord. Very good value prices as well. No food other than crisps, not a gastro pub !
Great free house with very reasonable prices. Enjoyed our time at this pub the best out of all the other Bury offerings.
A real pub. A rare pub. Great atmosphere, lovely & knowledgeable staff and a range of proper beers/ ciders. Highly recommended!
I love this pub. Always friendly with knowledgeable staff. Great place for a decent pint and a catch up. Do be warned though they are cash only.
It's a pub with an emphasis on good real ales, with a atmosphere conducive to having a natter with friends - no TVs no music unless it's live - and a couple of pints last night cost 5.50
Lovely real ale pub. Owner has great knowledge. One of the best in the world. Don't ask for lager :
Good atmosphere in an old fashioned style pub. Excellent beer at unbelievably cheap prices for the area. Toilets could do with an upgrade.
Just the best place for decent beer at unbelievable low prices.
