  “I took my husband for his birthday, we was taken through to the Restaurant then passed all the other empty tables then put into another part facing The Duchess, there was a party with a DJ, very loud, this was supposed to be a lovely meal for my husband’s birthday with our family. This was not the experience I wanted for my husband. The food was ok, but definitely not great service it was very slow.”

  “We had a lovely visit to the Dukes head! Sadie was our server and she was so warm and welcoming, very attentive too. The Sunday lunch was lovely and we would definitely return!”

  “The food was amazing. Great roast, Yorkshire pudding and Mac and cheese. Wish the potatoes were crispier 😂 Service was a bit slow but you can tell that the girl managing out table was running around like a headless chicken. Nothing bad about her. Parking is a bit of a git though. Will definitely go again.”

  “I would rate this place a 10/10 on every scale possible. Something I was most impressed by was how brilliant everything was and they didn’t add on a service charge. I am always one to pay a service charge but I don’t believe in tipping on top of one and Dukes Head is one of the first places I’ve been to where I was able to make my own tip. I tipped 20% of my meal as everything was absolutely brilliant. The food was high quality and in a reasonable portion for the price, I got the Half chicken with gravy and chips and the only thing i’d say is that the gravy wasn’t as thick as i’d like it. Everything was perfectly salted which i can never usually find in a restaurant. The service was absolutely superb and I was very impressed with it. At one point I asked where the toilets were while standing next to them and they kept their smiles and just directed me to them. As someone who has worked in the industry before I know that most people wouldn’t have been as nice. The highlight of my meal was definitely the desserts. i’ve been to many similar places and I have not had a good quality hot brownie in a long time. I wish I could write in experience to what I usually do at restaurants which is to modify the meal and I’m quite a picky eater but this place is 100% picky eater friendly”

  “Great place to go whether it’s for lunch or dinner. Food is always on point never had any complaints. Service is exceptional Sadie, Jared and Harley brilliant, friendly and know the menu well to give great tips and guidance when you’re unsure. Always a pleasure to see when we visit. Atmosphere is chilled out and music to all tastes. We come here over anywhere else it is our go to restaurant/pub and have recommended to so many family and friends.”

  “Unfortunately, I had the Monkfish Scampi which was extremely overcooked and dry, and so were the chips. I was dining with friends and was too embarrassed to compliain. If I was with my partner, I wouldn't have had any hesitation about sending it back. It's a shame as the pub looked lovely and the staff was very nice.”

  “We had such a lovely visit for my husband’s birthday. We were served by Sadie. She was very friendly, attentive, and went the extra mile with her menu recommendations, including the lamb rump which was absolutely amazing. …”

  “Such a lovely restaurant and bar with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It holds very special memories for me—I’ve celebrated my dad’s 50th birthday here and also held my grandad’s wake, and both occasions were handled with such care and professionalism. The staff were attentive, kind, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which meant a lot to us. The food and drinks were excellent, and the setting is perfect for both celebrations and more meaningful gatherings. It’s a place I’ll always cherish and highly recommend.”

  “Really nice pub, decent food great staff, apart from, I think, the bar manger, mid twenties man with curtain hair cut. Extremely miserable and poor mannered. Not a one off, he has been this way for years. Let’s the place down really. Would otherwise rate higher.”

  “Why does it take an age to get the bill at this joint? I've been here in excess of 15 visits and it's always a challenge to obtain the bill! We've even dined immediately after school hours when it's empty and still the same. Strange when we can see the staff going the extra mile over other tables/guests. Don't think I've ever been offered a dessert menu or asked how the meal was, but we always see other tables offered this service. Also, the restaurant door access to the garden is meant to be for staff only, but we witnessed guests rolling in and out at least a hundred times with their drinks stomping through the restaurant whilst eating our meal. Shame as the food is usually very good and is the only reason we have made attempts in the past to return. Disappointing.”
