Welcome to The Nook

Come Hungry Leave Happy

Dover's newest restaurant, set in a space many locals already know and love. Formerly Wellington's, it's everything people came back for, just with a fresh new feel, longer hours, and a few more reasons to stay a little longer.

Whether you're popping in for a full English, meeting friends over lunch, or easing into the evening with good food and a drink, The Nook is all about feeling comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after.
