Great place for drinks and food. Prices have noticeably increased over the last year. Good choice of menu and a good range of drinks. Plenty of seating indoor with an array of overhead heaters and outdoor. Can be extremely busy at weekends. Not fully staffed at times. Limited parking but parking available close by. Gets very busy at Christmas and New Year.

Great atmosphere for food and / or drinks especially in the sun! Food was good for majority of our party but a shame about the service. Food brought over with no cutlery, had to ask for this specifically along with napkins which two members of staff kindly agreed to grab for me.... never came. Chips were stone cold on arrival also. And they have tha audacity to put a service charge on your order before you've even received your food!

Mice place, clean and well presented, I visited on a Sunday lunch time for a drink with a friend, it was quiet so we could converse, as we last a guy was setting up to play live music with his guitar, my one quibble would be that they did not accept cash, one could only pay by card,

Nice canal side location. Food was average but expensive for what it is and better options in the area are available. Menu and table we got were sticky. Has the potential to be great but lacking the finesse you’d expect for the price.

Avoid. Perhaps I would have had a better experience if I came in Spring?.. Staff seemed rushed. Management seemed busy doing very little. The food was practically thrown at us unfortunately. My entire dinner was congealed and cold. I left feeling like the high price we paid for our staff dinner wasn’t worth the pretty penny that we parted with.

The rude staff who served us ruined the whole experience. The food was good. We both didn’t have battery on our phone so couldn’t use the app to order- the member of staff rudely stated ‘well I can’t help you with that’ and walked off. We was left non the wiser and unsure what was the issue. If she’d have explained we could order at the bar then that would have helped! Clearly shouldn’t be working in the hospitality industry if you can’t deliver to the customer. I’ll not be returning which is a shame as the food was nice and dukes is a great place. The member of staff totally ruined our Sunday lunch.

I visited Dukes last week with a big party, from the second we walked through the door we felt extremely welcomed. It’s beautifully decorated throughout the restaurant and our server was very kind attentive. I got dynamite prawns and the goats cheese salad both were delicious and reasonably priced. My bill came to £38 with 3 cocktails which is just great for value given the quality of everything. One thing I will add is drinks did take a while which is completely understandable given our party size and the restaurant being as big as it is. I have absolutely 0 complaints and Dukes well exceeded my expectations, I will definitely be back again.

Spent a lovely lazy afternoon in Dukes, meeting up with a gang of friends for lunch. It`s such a lovely venue when the weather is nice, with the large outdoor seating area and the laid back atmosphere of the place. The staff were all lovely and the service was spot. The food is quite simple, but all of it was nice and well priced considering how expensive eating out is now. A perfect afternoon.

Absolutely superb location, great vibe / atmosphere, and friendly staff. Unfortunately the cocktails we ordered were overly sweet and the food underwhelming, limp undercooked fries which were overly salted and a hot sandwich that was not worth the price tag at all we were really disappointed, we’ll go elsewhere for food in future but return for drinks just in case the bartender was just having a bad day when we visited!

Had Mauricio as our server, he was amazing! Helped us pick out what we wanted and was super clear with allergies and got me on board to splash on a starter which was amazing!! The food was amazing but I would say the Vegan burger could have had a little more pizazz! The vegan pizza was incredible though, and so was the Tofu starter! All in all I would say it was a great experience and I will definitely be coming again! 5/5 11/10 ⭐️

It depends on what you want. We were in a large group of 16 in the reservation had been made by a third party. We are all retirees who travel globally. This place is a hard charging, loud, young club atmosphere place and was was not at all what we wanted. Wanted. But if you want place full of 20 and 30 somethings with lots of loud hen parties and stag parties going on and a musical beat that just won't quit. Then this is your place but you better get a reservation because they were turning people away who didn't have a reservation.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch with friends and parents. We were moved to the bar area as we had a party of 7 and couldn't fit in the tables in the dining area. It was lovely and light in the atrium area with plenty of space for our party. The food was excellent - we had starters, Sunday roasts, burgers and sharers so a good representation of the menu. The service was very patchy with drinks, glasses and plates taking too long to arrive. We ended up ordering drinks at the bar and clearing plates from the table ourselves.

I have never had anything so overpriced and so poor taste wise. 16£ for a pizza of this quality? On a thick dough? With cheese that’s not even a proper mozzarella? In Italy people go to jail for that. Chicken tikka - expensive, hard to bite, dry. I would have finished my meal and left but knowing how expensive that was, I think people deserve a word of recommendation. And my recommendation is - do not eat here.
