The only way to describe Dukes is Fantastic in every regard. Wonderful food, great service from a really lovely team. This is our “go to” place. We continue to visit very regularly for breakfast and lunches. The food is cooked to perfection.

Polite and friendly staff, the breakfast we had was lovely, and it had decent butcher sausages, which is always a bonus. Very good value for money for the big portion sizes you get. Also the hot chocolate and cappuccino was very nice too.

I have been visiting almost weekly since the new owners arrived. They do a fabulous brunch. The evening fairs is also great. Really smart upmarket food!.. warm and friendly service, beautifully decorated and the best coffee in town. It’s nice to have a local classy establishment that offers a warm welcome and lovely food. Keep up the good work and I hope you can make the place a roaring success.

Absolutely charming place! The roast dinner is probably the best I have ever had which included a homemade Yorkie so big it could sink a ship. We were all enjoying the food so much we barely spoke and had no room for dessert. Would highly recommend this restaurant over the commercial establishments which don't come close to this top notch home cooked food.

Visited today for the first time, I can honestly say it was probably the best roast dinner I have ever had, just sensational! Service was impeccable & all food and drink very reasonably priced & great portion size. My children don't like roast dinners so they ate off the childrens menu, again tasty food and great portion sizes. We will be back!

Really annoyed, booked a table for 3 o clock. We arrived and they said they overbooked. They had my number so why not call me? They suggested that we wait on another table that was ready for another booking then move once a table for two became available. It seems that they took too many walk ins as they didn’t want to turn customers away. Well when the holiday season is over and you want the locals back in, I will be going elsewhere . I gave them another go today 4/8/24 and got a takeout roast beef. Absolutely delicious and the staff seem to be on top of everything. I will definitely be dining in the restaurant very soon

Obliging staff & owners with a good selection of breakfast staples. We haven’t tried any of their other options yet & would absolutely put Dukes as our number one option when in the area again. Our only criticism would be the sausages & black pudding needed a longer, which I’m sure they would have done had we asked.

First time coming here yesterday for breakfast and it was a lovely little place! Staff were friendly and they had gluten free options which were great. I did have to ask someone as the menu was confusing but when I asked they were very helpful. The avocado salsa was lovely and everything else really. I did have to walk out to cool myself down as it was so hot but luckily the chef came out and put the air cons on as it was very hot yesterday. Soon as that came on it was lovely and cool inside. I will definitely be back. :-)

We came as a table of three today and had the best Sunday roast dinner. The presentation of the food was lovely, the lamb and turkey was cooked to perfection and so tender, the roast potatoes were fluffy inside and crispy on the outside, the vegetables were just right and the Yorkshire pudding was incredible! We must not forget the service which was friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and we are returning. Thank you.

My partner and I went out for breakfast and was very impressed by the food and the price. I would say it was one of nicer places to go in Clacton and the surrounding areas. For breakfast that is . Quality of the ingredients nicely cooked and presented. I would recommend. I will go back again either for breakfast or to try the lunch menu.

Had a fantastic meal on Sat 3rd Feb. New decor is great and the place looks fresh and clean. Group of 4 and everybody thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Service only marked down by 1 star as think a front of house member of staff learning and he has quite a way to go yet. The young girl was doing her best and keeping things moving. No hassle to leave or keep buying drinks so relaxed and just a really enjoyable meal out. Congratulations to the new management and complements to the chef. Thank you.

The Lady who served us was so lovely and accommodating! You can see that the kitchen is abit on the small side but that didn't let things down, the food was superb! From sandwiches to burgers, pasta to chicken. There is so much to choose from and everything was delicious. Would definitely recommend! 5* all round!

Four and a half stars - very good. We had a nice meal here at lunchtime. The staff were helpful and the food was good; I would say a good pub-grub style (meant in a complimentary way). We had a good sandwich and scampi. The staff were helpful and service friendly. Parking I imagine could be a bit tricky if it gets really busy as there are some spaces directly outside but not loads of parking. The staff were very good about cleaning and there was good distancing between the tables. Would definitely go back again.

We have supported Dukes for many years, and had asked them to make us two quiches for our daughters birthday- £27 later which I thought was quite steep, the whole things crumbled apart. They generally are very tasty, but having called back straight away, and be offered nothing off at first was disgusting. Eventually after much needless awkward discussion, they agreed to refund me, with no mention of returning them, by this point I was left with a bit of a sour taste in my mouth- it shouldn’t have been this difficult for a local village bistro to come to this decision to offer me something off. Even worse, I then went in the week later for the refund, and the owner this time who didn’t know a thing about it refused as he said we didn’t bring them back. There was no mention of this on the phone call arranging the refund, and other than salads we had nothing else to offer our guests. Absolutely appalling customer service. Suffice to say, we will no longer be supporting them sadly.

Absolutely rude. When asked for the meat fresh of the spit the man is moaning he had meat already cut in the tin which I said I didn’t like. Then continued to then try charge me extra because I didn’t want my chilli sauce on my kebab and wanted it separate. Very rude and terrible customer service don’t even deserve this 1* in my opinion.
