I had the pleasure of visiting here and I was blown away! The staff here truly go above and beyond—friendly, professional, and always eager to help. The venue itself is top-notch, with a comfortable atmosphere and attention to detail that makes it stand out. Whether you’re here for food or just visiting, you’ll feel welcomed and well taken care of. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Ordered food and told there was a wait which was fine, food came and what a disappointment, ordered a side of chips which were forgotten about,had to ask twice where they were,eventually came after about 25 minutes after eating our food, shocking place.

Good grief, what a filthy pub. I popped in for a drink, drink spills on the table food crumbs on the chair. The best part was finding the cleaning spray and blue paper on the bar so I could clean up before sitting down. The staff on duty were having a great chatty evening. Please please team get cleaning it was really awful. Not going to eat here in a hurry

Service was good the food was fine except the rump steak had been overcooked and had tendons running through it. I pointed this out to a member of staff and all they did was shrug their shoulders and took my plate away.

The Duke is a great traditional pub, bustling and busy, with a good selection of fine ales and tasty food, served quickly and at very reasonable prices. I was staying at the adjacent Marriott, in need of a taste of Wales, and the Duke of Wellington did the job. The historic Duke himself, of Napoleonic Wars fame, though a national hero in the UK, was a Dublin-born Irishman.

Always a regular here on my visits to the city centre. So this was the place we selected to spend most of our time when Bruce Springsteen was in town. Group of us were here from 7 pm on Saturday night till closing had a great night. Then back again after the show on the Sunday till closing. We all had a great time Guiness was good even though in a plastic pint. In fact went back there on the Monday and sat outside for a few hours before getting the train home. Staff were excellent service was really good with such a big event on. Special call out to Alex. Looking forward to my next visit. Keep up the hard work.
