Get into the groove
This winter, Sole Food celebrates the freshest Dover sole seasoned with the smooth grooves and good vibes of the 70s soul scene. Just like everyone’s favourite soul classics, our Dover sole hits all the right notes: it’s comforting, timeless, and made to be enjoyed in the warmth of great company.
Inspired by the era of soulful tunes and disco beats, Sole Food is all about indulging in life’s simple pleasures. Dover sole doesn’t need much; just a little TLC, but you can forget the bells and whistles here as simplicity is key.
From in-restaurant experiences to online celebrations, we’re getting our groove on with soul-inspired decor, menus, and events. Think 70s posters, disco beats, and of course, our star of the show: Dover sole.
It’s food that speaks to your soul, served with a side of seasonal glow and nostalgia. We invite you to join the celebration with us – let’s boogie down and honour the freshest catch of the winter.
Why Dover SOle?
Dover sole. A true treasure of the British coastline, prized for its delicate texture and mild, sweet flavour. But why are we so dizzy about Dover?

Why are we celebrating Dover sole this winter?
Dover sole in Brixham is at its absolute best in the lead-up to winter as they’re at their prime just before spawning season in January. While some say the best Dover is caught in spring, our fishermen, fish buyers, and processors know the real magic happens in October, November, December & January when these beauties are at their biggest, strongest, and consequently - most delicious.
What is Dover sole like?
Think of Dover sole as seafood’s answer to a fillet mignon steak. It’s tender and rich but somehow still light, and with a more delicate, almost sweet flavour. It’s a world away from other flatfish like plaice or flounder – Dover sole has a sophistication that puts it in a league of its own.
Dine at our waterside restaurants
Available as a daily landing at our waterside restaurants, in tune with the rhythm of the sea, your Dover sole will be cooked simply on the plancha to give it that signature caramelisation, and served with a comforting retro hollandaise sauce. Perfectly paired with chardonnay, this duo delivers flavours that hit all the right notes.
Order Dover sole to your home
Exclusively during our campaign, you can enjoy four Dover Soles for £50, perfect for a celebration at home. Not sure the best way to cook this delicate fish? We’ll include our cooking tips in your box!
SUSTAINABILITY & SEAFOOD
Sustainability is all about ensuring fish species can continue to reproduce so that healthy stock levels are maintained. We do not buy seafood from any fishery that is not well controlled or managed, we do not sell fish that is endangered, and we don’t buy from anywhere where we feel uncomfortable about the health of the fishery or fishing method.
