The Old Duke in Sefton

Lovely food, staff were inviting and friendly, fast service. Can't complain really, my boyfriend had few cold pints while i was on the cocktails 😋

We went around dinner time and we had the mega mixed grill. It was fantastic and the waitresses and the bartenders were lovley. It was quite a wait to get the food but we were assured by team members that it wouldn’t be too long. I think there names were India and Lily and ash. The atmosphere was good there was a lot of people in but considering there was only 3 of them they did an amazing job in looking after us.

Amazing team, amazing food everything came quick and was delicious as always! Pizzas are a winner for me can’t go wrong with them

The sun was out so we stopped for a few drinks in the garden area. The team were really friendly as soon as we got in. We didn’t eat anything, but have eaten here before and it does not disappoint!

The atmosphere is so welcoming. The lady on the bar greeted us as soon as we walked in, despite her serving someone else. We didn’t have a booking but were made aware that we could sit anywhere without a reserved sign. We ordered our food and drinks at the bar. Once our food came, it looked well presented and was piping hot. Tasted amazing too. All in all, it was amazing. From team to food, I’d really recommend! Will definitely be back

Every time I go in they say no cask ales on. They have six taps all with labels saying 'Conditioning in t barrel'. Staff mumble when you ask about them. Some dodgy policy. I have tried several times in the early evening. Stupid whatever it's about.

It's fast food, what can I say. Service was good, food was enjoyable it was quiet but pleasant. We popped in for a quick lunch and it didn't disappoint.

Very good food, staff very polite and friendly & a relaxing atmosphere will definitely be going back 👍

We received a leaflet with the mail that had a 30% off mains voucher, so decided to give it a go. The reviews online were positive and were quite accurate. Staff were very helpful and courteous, and even though it was quite busy they always seemed to be available. The order from the table facility offered 10% off drinks, was well explained and worked perfectly, the barman even brought them to our table. Unfortunately ordering our food the same way didn't work, as it wouldn't let me put the discount voucher in before payment, but that might've been me doing something wrong, so I went and did it at the bar. The barman sorted me out immediately, our food came in a timely fashion, and was very good traditional pub fare. The potato and leak soup in particular was correctly seasoned, which is rarely the case any more. And portion sizes were pre shrinkflation too, my wife was shocked at the size of her chicken and bacon salad. Overall a fantastic experience, the staff need special praise, they really seemed to enjoy their work, and after the discount, the food cost us about a fiver more than if we went to a takeaway. Highly recommended

Great place, perfect location for me as I was getting a service done on my Honda across the road. so went in with my laptop, Wi-Fi speed was great. managed to do some work, have a couple of drinks and a bite to eat until my car was ready. a perfect lunch break. I would recommend the pulled pork loaded nachos they were lovely, and were recommended by the lovely staff serving.

Great food and service. Also a nice family atmosphere.

'Cheap and cheerful ' offering a range of food and drink..

Staff all lovely however, especially the lady in the kitchen. The staff at the bar were a little busy so she came out to help. They did not have what we ordered for my dog so she recreated something better and was very apologetic and friendly! Garlic cheesy pizza was amazing! Muddy paws was broken however, they reassured us a new one has been ordered 🥰

Just called in for a pizza . Won't be having another as all I can taste was tomatoes. Taken home to put cheese on it. Had chip with meal and looked like been warmed up and sat for hr. Great for a coffee🤪

I have never had a bad experience here. The staff are all lovely, the food is incredible, it's a really nice place to go. Always feel welcome when we go in and it's a bonus we can take the dogs too!

Great meal out with family great food would go back amain

Food was lovely and always amazing service. Friendly atmosphere and great for children too. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal for 2. Food was great, nice and relaxed atmosphere

Came with a 30% off mains voucher, still cost 50 pounds for a salad, a lasagne, a side of chips and a Mac and cheese starter plus 2 kids doughnuts desserts. Service pretty quick even though the football was on. Very dog friendly, insanely large dog food menu so if you don't like/are allergic to dogs, probably avoid

We have been here a few times now and we really like it. Although it was busy this last time we went, the service was still really good. All the staff are helpful and friendly. We love the QR ordering system as it means you can take your time and ensure you order exactly what you want…. The only thing I would say about this though, is sometimes some meals are greyed out and unselectable despite the staff stating they are available, which means you have to go to the bar to order sometimes. The food is hot and tasty and there is a good variety of choices on the menu. There is a nice atmosphere inside and it feels clean and cosy. The only thing I think spoils the atmosphere a little bit is having the TV on in there. A really great place though! So glad we have it near where we live.

Nice pub, very friendly and attentive staff

Won a competition on facebook for 4 free meals. Good food good service!

I’ve been coming the Old duke since the very first day it opened, I have always had a good experience, food is always on point, staff are always friendly and I hope to be coming here for many more years.

Bar staff very friendly great service, highly recommended!!

This is a lovely friendly place, always smiley helpful staff, especially the guys! Menu is great and the food is lovely!

Always cheery service and decent food

Quick service, yummy food and staff were lovely! X

Really helpful and friendly staff. Food excellent 👌

Another great experience at the Old Duke. Service & food excellent, as always. Lovely greeting from Kay & team. We'll be back soon!

Nice friendly staff. Quick service. Easy ordering.

Poor service. Lots of young, unhappy staff who were more interested on sitting down on a specific table talking to chefs. Poor mains, pie couldn't be bitten through. Gravy was like flavourless water. Drinks ordered on the app took 20 minutes to arrive. Pudding took 30 minutes for 1 apple crumble, had to ask and it still did not come. When it did it had been put in the microwave and was rock hard. Poor server had been sent to our table about 4x with food we didn't order, just akward for him being sent here over and over. They did say to others they were busy but whilst walking to the toilet there were lots of empty tables and hardly anyone getting food as the chefs were all sat by the bar talking.

Great food and friendly service. Will definitely return 👍

Love this pub as everything good is good and staff are friendly

Food great value & plenty of choice. Service was quick & very friendly

Always friendly and welcoming. Great value menu.

Very nice food and staff very friendly

Called in on an impulse last night got a table very quickly ,but after ordering the food we had noticed table after table with dogs 🙉 When one dog started barking then set off another ,I don’t mind dogs but that was way over the top Also there were people VAPING at there table so very relaxed on the rules and staff not saying anything. Do you prepare dog food with the customer food and clean there dishes with the customers ? If the staff bring out dog food with customers food you are surely cross contaminating germs I would not come back as it’s a shame food was nice

Lovely atmosphere Spotless table Great food and lovely friendly staff

We had a lovely time, we were served by Kayla who was amazing, food was lovely couldn’t fault it, would really recommend

The mixed grill was delicious and served brilliantly. The service was fast and friendly. I was most impressed with how dog-friendly the pub was! Me and my Labrador really enjoyed the visit. We will be back soon. Visited Monday daytime on a very long dog walk during a day off work.

I thought there would be a long wait for food as we were about fourth or fifth in the queue, but the food came out super quick and it tasted great.

Very friendly staff when I arrived. The venue is ver clean and tidy and the food was really nice.

We had a party of 8 plus 2 dogs for a birthday. All 4 generations enjoyed the food, even the kids ate it all. The roast dinner on Sunday was really nice, including 2 lovely vegetarian roasts. We come often and always enjoy it. Very comfortable surroundings and friendly staff.

Roast beef dinner was awful. Left most of it.

Love the steak dinner specials served on a friday celebrated our Golden Wedding together on the day before the big surprise do the next day at another Southport restuarant this was personal for us celebrating together we enjoyed every minute of it from the excellant red wine the succulent steaks and the delicious caramel deserts

Good food piping hot pizza was one of the best in a pub I have had

The team are friendly, helpful, they serve good quality 'pub grub' and we will definitely be back!

Great food & service, ordered two meals, fish & chips and a gammon with a jacket potato instead. Great size portions & served hot.

I Ordered shearing Natcho's but when it eventually arrived 20 minutes later cold... it looked like a small Childs serving which I'd of complained if I'd of paid £4.99 for but to pay £9.99 for the pathetic serving i got was a embarrassing moment . I did talk to the manager who I formed me, that it is prepared to the restaurant company's orders, she did put a tiny bit of pulled pork as a good will gesture. Told me to complain to the owners as she's only following orders. If this is the portion size I don't think il be returning.... not happy at all

Great for Coeliac Disease sufferers. Well looked after and worth a visit.

Great place , great staff and it's dog friendly too .

I always receive a warm welcome from Kayla and her colleagues at the Old Duke in Southport. There is a warm friendly atmosphere, a good range of premium beers available, and the food is excellent quality and reasonably priced. We eat there on a regular basis and I can personally recommend the Hunters Chicken dish.

Great staff, food stayed nice and hot. I had a great time .

Today is my 40-19th Birthday. The family came to the Old Duke in Southport...as we do frequently, and it was brilliant as usual, food, service all top notch, we'll be back soon 🤗

Excellent, service superb, food great, staff made our sons 18th memorable, thank you.

Great food great price and great staff. Thanks

Great Mandy, staff so helpful and a great offer on food and drinks.

Excellent throughout our visit, not our first and wont be our last..

Lovely food lovely place lovely people

Never been before despite always being in the area. The food was stunning. The staff are helpful and friendly.

We really enjoy going there. Your made to feel really welcome.

Came here for xmas day with 6 others and it was brilliant. Very happy customers 😊

Quick family meal, 1 kids gammon steak, he loved it so off to a good start. 3 drinks and a pizza and halloumi fries to share between the other half and I. Possibly the worst pizza (veggie deluxe) we have ever had, it lacked any kind of topping, including veg, cheese, tomato base and flavour. The crisp base was nice though. Told the staff about the pizza, nothing whether that be refund on pizza or a remake. Very disappointed. £40+ wasted on what was supposed to be a nice treat.

We go every week never had a bad experience food always really good.service is good

Lovely welcome as usual, food prompt, hot and fresh. Doors open to keep us ladies of a certain age cooler 😂

Good service and food. Nice atmosphere.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant kid friendly food is great prices very fair

We had a meal for my daughter's 16th birthday and the staff were brilliant. Very accommodating and friendly. The food was lovely.

Lovely pub, attentive staffA lovely pub with great themes every season

Very poor service. Ordered 7 dishes asking them to all be served together and they only served half the dishes. Explained they had put first half of dishes as starters and rest as mains. Not apologetic. Couldn't believe that error wasn't noticed or queried in kitchen. Nice atmosphere in pub. Floor was dirty and lots of scraps of food under table.

Lovely friendly and efficient staff. We enjoyed a good Christmas meal here with crackers and a friendly atmosphere. Will be back.

Met with smiles and nice greetings. Shown to our usual reserved table that was festivals decorated with crackers too (nice touch). Great to have a bottle of water on there too. Starters served and was delicious, that was duck pate. If anything maybe one more slice of the bread would have helped devour the pate. Traditional turkey Christmas dinner was huge and so tasty, compliments to the chef. Was really quite stuffed by now but we had puddings too! Oh, to die for. Christmas pud was so tasty. The Lemon tart was perfect too. Many thanks guys. You're our favourite go to place for a meal we know is going to be fabulous.

Great local pub, good food, great prices. Friendly staff.

Lovely food and staff Dogs not to my liking if you have family that aren't keen on dogs

Came here for the first time and can honestly say I've seen some questionable reviews about food and service, the reviews I've read did put doubt in my mind but I could not of been so wrong, the service was excellent, the food was awesome, I had the ultimate spicy burger sontoo did my wife , hand on heart ive never had a decent burger like this for a long time, probably since our last trip to America back in 23 it was perfect, full of falvour and hot !!! we will defo spread the word and have booked for xmas eve, well done to all staff you made it an awesome first time visit 5 Stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loaded Fries were not great but pub looked very festive 😀

The staff where amazing with the girls, the food was amazing and nothing was any trouble, my girls enjoyed being aloud behind the bar to get there own straws. Thank you for making the experience stress free xx

Service was excellent and best burger I've had in long time.

Booked last minute and was able to find table for 3. Greeted by host who was very friendly and kind . Food was lovely was nice and hot and very good portions .All the staff were very friendly and happy even though it was a busy Sunday lunch time . 3 very happy diners. Will be back soon.

Great food, beer, atmosphere and customer service, thanks 👍

Brilliant team of people! Thank you for a great night

Food was delicious. Everyone was welcoming, polite and helpful. The place is comfortable, very nice and relaxing.

Been twice and food was excellent both times, had the £20 for two steak and wine night. Do a lovely Lemon Meringue pie with Ice cream. And Garlic and Herb dough Balls.

1st time in there, it's very cosy, staff are amazing and its dog friendly, they even have a dog menu x

Nice food. Only issue table 37 freezing really draughty. Apart from that great.

Always great food and service but tonight I found what seems to be a eyelash/small hair in my food this happens to be the second time in 6 months this has happened

My hubby and I took mum to the Old Duke for tea. They are super accommodating and helpful with mum, who has dementia, all of the team, always make you feel so welcome. The food is of a high standard, both in terms of presentation and the quality of the food. I ordered a blue steak, mum had Hunters Chicken and hubby had lasagne. The meals arrived reasonably quickly considering how busy the pub was. Unfortunately my steak was overcooked, more medium than blue. The landlady was super quick in checking to see if everything was OK, and quickly got the steak changed. The pub itself always looks lovely, and all the Christmas decorations look fab. The pub looks loved! Always a great night in the Old Duke. All of the team, without exception are excellent! Genuine and friendly!

Had a jumbo mixed grill . It was huge. I'm ashamed to say I struggled to finish it . Was lovely though

Food is always really lovely - guy behind the bar is always super nice to our dog when he comes in! Really nice atmosphere and super dog friendly- recommended!

As always a lovely time had by all - even though I managed to mess up the food order - the staff sorted it out so quickly - Si was brilliant with all of us especially the kids

From start to finish very pleasant, wasn't to busy,service was excellent,food was good,nice finish to the day 🍺👍🏻

I came for lunch with 10 members of family. All food was delicious and staff so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. 10/10 couldn’t fault our experience in anyway. Thanks again Old Duke staff - see you again soon.

New menu an improvement. Good value on themed nights....

Good food, put me in a good mood

One of the best pizzas I've had in a while the pizza chef needs a special mention she was amazing! Staff all friendly and the service was great. We came on a busy Friday afternoon and were served very quickly by the lady behind the bar I believe is the new manager nice and friendly :)

Actually proper nice. Didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Me and the wife had a lovely roast dinner each. Will definitely be back. Yum.

It’s an honour to say this is the best Dog friendly pub/restaurant I have ever been to. It was spotlessly clean and the food is hot and plentiful, the roast dinners are so good. My partner had the vegetarian option and he said it was perfect. The staff are Amazing and go out and beyond to make everyone feel welcome including our fur babies nothing is too much trouble and they are so approachable and friendly. They have a designated area for pets and pet owners and there is everything there from Dog Bowls, Dog Blankets, Dog Treats what you can have free and extra you can buy and what’s special is they even have a doggie menu haha I love this your pooch can enjoy fresh cooked chicken, sausage, meats and gravy. Pets really do get spoilt. They have coloured cones so staff and public know how to approach your dog If your dog is timid, nervous around other dogs but like people etc there is a colour chart on your table so you know what colour come to put out ( Genius ) I would definitely recommend the Old Duke to family & friends because once you go there, you definitely want to come back. Halloween is coming up and the display of spooky lifelike decorations are amazing they also have a colourful family area the children would love it! Once you go you would definitely want to return it’s a woofly experience haha for all pets & pet owners, families and all age groups. We can’t wait to come back with Max our little timid Maltipoo.

Was served by Kayla she was really helpful and friendly.The pub itself was really clean and had a lovely atmosphere.The Halloween decorations really made it a good experience.Will definitely come back

Really lovely, hot, fresh food. Delicious. Lots of choice on the menu. Easy to order on the app. Nice atmosphere. Very clean toilets. Friendly, happy staff who seem to enjoy their job. We have a new favourite pub!

I've never hated a place so much for doing such a good job!!!! the mega mixed grill kicked my butt an left me a swollen mess on the floor!! amazing value, great food lovely staff, would highly recommend, but only if you're proper hungry haha
