Dovedale Restaurant At The Barcelo Buxton Palace

This is a small restaurant in the very big Palace hotel. Service, food and setting are to be as expected from a big hotel. It is not the best hotel for dining out in Buxton but it is of a good standard.

This restaurant is a nice setting in a nice hotel. The palace has a few different bars/rooms that the public can use which makes it a good place for business meetings in buxton.

The Dovedale Restaurant is inside the Palace Hotel, Buxton and as such you would expect a high service. Sadly this is not the case. Nothing is terrible, its just that nothing is very good either. Service, food and drinks are all standard to sub standard.

We only stayed one night which was bought us for a gift,but you could not beat the hotel for value for money.We had a great sized room,Good choice of menu and the free wine was Pinot Grigot not some cheap bottle. Overall we enjoyed the stay very much and would go back again.

Dined here during a weekend break at the hotel. The dining room is a huge ballroom type room packed with rows of tables and a set of serving stations at one end. The arrangement was self service with portions of each course laid out motorway service style. Diners swooped on mass with anything which looked remotely appetising disappearing and the remainder left to stand indefinitely. A Carvery was included with mains but unfortunately the quality and variety of veg resembled School dinners. The whole experience was disappointing in a soulless atmosphere with very young and timid staff with very poor knowledge of food and wine.
