Sunday lunch, drinks,roasts and dessert. Food a little overpriced but basically good quality. Staff welcoming on arrival. Main criticism was we felt 'chased ' by a waitress who kept coming to table and asking if we had finished when clearly two of us were still midway eating our roast. After the third time of doing this within a short window it became very annoying and spoiled our visit. Restaurant was not busy and we were well within our two-hour allocation for a party of 2-4 people. A party of sixteen were arriving as we left but that 's no excuse. Hesitant to go for lunch again.
Had a lovely meal in the garden. Was a lovely evening. Service could have been better, after our first order of drinks, we had to go to the bar, which isn’t too much of an issue, but you are paying a 10% service charge, so would have expected table service considering we was having a meal. We was watching the Olympics on TV still drinking in the garden, last orders hadn’t been called. One of the staff came over, turned the TV off, no conversation or explanation and walked off. So we took that as cue that they wanted us to leave.
Normally we love this place, the setting is fantastic and the kids play park gives you a welcome break. On this occasion the food was a little average and for the price we were a bit disappointed. Obviously this is a snap shot of one day and might not be representative of other customer’s experience; it’s a shame when you get a bad experience somewhere you like, let’s hope it was just a one off. The biggest issue was the food, it just didn’t hit the mark.
We always enjoy our visits to The Duke William. The service is friendly, efficient and effortless; the team have a nice ease about them. They are attentive without being annoying. We were here on Sunday and five of the party had a roast lunch. Everything on the plate was cooked perfectly, my only criticism is that there wasn’t enough veg. We had one carrot and some savoy cabbage.

Lovely venue, excellent service with knowledgable manager who greeted us warmly and knew all the dishes and drinks. Impressive ! Unfortunatelyt, I can't recall his name. Bih hairy gentleman. Great good humour. Excellent choice of mains and desserts. Thank you. We'll be back for sure
We come to this wonderful pub often!! Always outstanding food, service, ambience. Sometimes it can be a little noisy if there are big groups in at the same time. Service is always quick and staff are very friendly and helpful.
Had Sunday lunch with the family. It was all lovely as always. I had to make a last minute call to add an extra person to our table and they couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating. One of our favourite pubs.
