Morley Hayes Dovecote Restaurant
Set against a stunning backdrop of cool teal and turquoise tones with bold indigo accents, The Dovecote has been reimagined into a sophisticated, contemporary haven infused with earthy tones that mirror the tranquil countryside that surrounds it.
Celebrated as one of Derbyshire’s finest dining destinations, The Dovecote is renowned for its dedication to locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Our talented chefs craft exceptional menus for every occasion – from indulgent Champagne Breakfast and elegant Afternoon Tea to our refined dinner menu and much-loved traditional Sunday lunch.
Open year-round, The Dovecote is the perfect setting for life’s special moments – whether you're celebrating an anniversary, Valentine’s Day, a birthday, Mother's Day, or treating yourself to an evening of fine dining.
For a more intimate experience, private dining is available in the Hayloft, featuring a stunning terrace that offers sweeping views of our gardens, golf course, and the rolling countryside beyond.
Complementing our seasonal menus is an award-winning wine, cocktail, and drinks list curated to showcase both global treasures and the very best of Derbyshire’s own producers.
We're excited to introduce our Dovecote Breakfast & Brunch menu, with new dishes, new drinks and more reasons to start your day with us!
From Wednesday 15 July, you can choose from our new 2-course Breakfast & Brunch for £27pp, or indulge in our popular 3-course Champagne Breakfast & Brunch for £37.50pp.
Both menus have been updated with exciting new dishes, including:
- Barbequed Persian Chicken with avocado vierge, feta and sweetcorn salsa
- Pork Schnitzel with Caesar salad
- Allsop Brothers' Dexter rump cap steak, served with either fried egg, hash brown, cherry tomatoes and chimichurri, or French fries with your choice of chimichurri or peppercorn sauce
Alongside these new dishes, our much-loved Derbyshire Breakfast remains on the menu for those who fancy a classic full English breakfast.
