Like the hotel in which it sits – 1 Hotel Mayfair – Dovetale makes good use of natural materials and plenty of plants to create a warm, bright environment. It also has a great terrace and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu looks to Europe for its contemporary dishes; go for one to be shared, like the Oxfordshire fallow venison or the Somerset chicken. If you’re after a bit of nostalgia, you can design your own Knickerbocker Glory for dessert.
