What started as a lovely meal ,for a 60th birthday ended as a very marred experience, we were seated for 1pm,we were leisurely given the menus and and not rushed the staff brought a cake to the table and sang Happy Birthday.Dessert menus were given out at 2.50pm and we were informed that we needed to vacate the table at 3pm for other customers ,please tell me how we are supposed to decide, eat dessert and drink coffee in 10 mins,2 members of staff came and spoke to us,we then asked for the manager ,who duly told us of the 2 hr time frame, this was not explained when taking the booking by phone,we expressed our disappointment of our treatment, so it was decided we could have an extra 30mins,b...
My second visit to the Duke and again it didn 't disappoint. Went for dinner midweek, and the restaurant was busy including a large group having Christmas dinner. The ambience is welcoming, with all staff friendly and attentive. The food itself was excellent. A menu with a good variety of choice (the only problem all night was choosing what to have). I opted for the steak and ale pie. This was a 'proper ' pie, with a bottom and sides, and was delicious. Some of my party had the belly pork, which they loved. Portions are generous, which meant that after a starter and main none of us had room for a dessert. The service was without fault, efficiently accommodating the fact that one of our group...
Was treated to a meal with friends yesterday. I had travelled from london and we dont get to see each other often so it was a big deal. We had seen good reviews so decided to try here for a sunday roast, drinks and a nice catch up... big mistake! The service was awful, it was busy but some of the attitudes of the staff was awful, we heard how they spoke to other customers too. We were very abruptly told we wouldn 't recommend dessert as the kitchen was so busy and it would be a long wait .. my friend actually cried as this was supposed to be a special treat for us. Sadly we felt an inconvenience for the staff and what should have been a great catch up was ruined by terribly unhappy and snapp...
Four of us had between us: two steaks absolutely cooked to perfection, one belly of pork which was absolutely mouthwatering and the salmon that I'm told was superb. Starters were delicious too and it was all fairly reasonable. They obviously have an excellent chef who takes pride in his work and it must be an ethos throughout as the waiting staff were polite, very professional and extremely friendly. Special mention to the young lad who told us he is studying engineering at college. He (along with all the staff) is a credit to you. Many thanks. Will be highly recommending.

Would definitely not recommend this venue for Christmas Day Lunch We were booked for Christmas Day Lunch at 12.30 by 4 o’clock our coffee order hadn’t even been taken. We were so frustrated with the service we had received all afternoon we left. Tables with later booking we’re receiving there main meal and we had been sitting waiting 1 hour 30min from our starter in the end we asked if they had forgotten us.Having paid £406 for the meal drinks we were really disappointed with the standard of service.
Absolutely fantastic place and service. Can not fault anything. We hired the barn for our dad’s wake after his funeral. The staff in the actual pub helping us book and organise beforehand and the girl behind the bar on the day were so helpful, friendly and efficient. The room was fantastic, all laid out ready for us and the buffet food was great. Plenty of it and loads of choice. Nothing was too much trouble. Thankyou Duke of Wellington for being great on a very important day for us
It was our son`s birthday so we thought we`d try the Duke. It was a Friday night, so it was very busy, but nonetheless, we were seated and served quickly. My wife`s dietry requirements were satisfied, and nothing was too much trouble, so she had a bespoke meal. Our pizzas were huge, hot and tasty, and my pint of IPA was very good. The prices were reasonable and the service was excellent (thank you young lady with the braces). Will certainly return.
Pub going downhill rapidly mainly due to management attitude. No longer the friendly local pub. I was treated appallingly today and I wasn't the only one. I saw lots off customers treated badly. Don't care about regulars just the parties that will bring in the big bucks. Look after you're regulars instead off giving priority to others
