Dovay Cafe - Gravesend

When we arrived at the venue, a concierge informed us that the bar was upstairs and the show had been relocated to a smaller studio below. Apparently, they didn’t sell enough tickets and decided to move the show to accommodate the smaller crowd. While this wouldn’t have been a huge issue, we were disappointed to learn that our assigned seats in the theater no longer applied in this new free-seating arrangement. If we had known it would be general seating, we might have strategized more to ensure good seats. Fortunately, we went to the bar, grabbed our drinks, and headed downstairs, where not many people were gathered, allowing us to choose our seats freely. The show itself was fantastic, and even Rich Hall seemed unaware of the venue change until he arrived, humorously commenting on it. Overall, the unexpected intimacy of the smaller setting created a cozy atmosphere, and the seating was comfortable with a positive vibe. However, the audio quality could have been improved. It wasn’t terrible, but I found it easier to understand him when he spoke without the microphone compared to when he used it. Perhaps that’s just me, as I sometimes struggle with accents. Ultimately, the only reason I deducted a star from my rating was that they changed the seating arrangement to free seating without informing us in advance.

The noise and light effects were fantastic! However, the seating was not very comfortable. Shorter individuals struggled to see the stage, so it's important to choose your seats carefully.

Great value for the money! The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, in the afternoon, there was no fruit available, so instead I was offered cheese scones with cream and jam!

Wonderful. came with friends for the posh club. it was really special and very good. the personal was very attentive and we used the elevator. even more friendliness when sitting in the venue. we enjoyed a full afternoon tee with entertainment and the chance to dance as well as followed by a sing with kind permission of the bow boys. we also enjoyed the entertainments of the? imaginative to the Bhangra dancers and drummer. then the bow boys finished it and of course there was a draw. everything was free with friendly permission of the posh club and gravesend council. I am sure that everyone present enjoyed their own wolves and also look forward to the next event.

A great little theatre with a great atmosphere and really helpful and friendly staff. A great night out.
