First time to Dockets and will definitely be back. Fabulous food, which was so creative. Brilliant service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. We got to meet the chef at the end, which was a nice touch, and we could have spoken to him for hours. His passion for food came out in abundance!

This was a first class experience at Dockett 22 in Whitchurch with excellent service. The food was exquisite, varied and presented beautifully. The service was the right balance of attentive without being intrusive and each course was described with just the right amount of information. The birthday card and unexpected additional dessert with a candle was thoughtful and added to the experience. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous restaurant - we had a truly wonderful meal here last night. We had a family incident before and were late, and the staff was so accommodating and kind. When we arrived, we had very cosy table, the staff were so incredibly friendly and warm and the food was out of this world. Every dish was mouth watering and the portion sizes were perfect. What stood out for us was how exceptional value it was. We would highly, highly recommend and will be coming back!

On September 7th, we celebrated our anniversary with my boyfriend at Docket Restaurant. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with impeccable hospitality. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, with pleasant lighting and an elegant yet modern interior. The staff was very friendly and attentive. As for the dishes, each one was a true work of art. Our tasting menu consisted of 10 dishes, each unique and incredibly delicious. I was especially impressed by the presentation of the roasted tomatoes in tomato essence—an unforgettable taste. The dish that my boyfriend enjoyed the most was the steamed halibut, dusted with nori powder, resting in a light creme fraiche sauce, accompanied by turnip, black barley, and puffed wild rice. The soft, flaky fish paired perfectly with the crunch of the wild rice, while the creamy sauce balanced the earthiness of the barley and turnip. Each element complemented the other, creating a wonderful mix of textures and flavors. At this point, the restaurant had already exceeded our expectations; we were very satisfied with the food and the experience, but it turned out there was more to come... The final dish was brought to us and presented by the chef himself, which pleasantly surprised and delighted us, and he also congratulated us on our anniversary. And that wasn't all because later we were served a special dessert with a lit candle, and the staff congratulated us on our anniversary once again. It was very touching—we made a wish and blew out the candle. This was a special and unforgettable experience for us. I'm very happy my boyfriend chose your restaurant.
