The Old Duke in Sefton

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.

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

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

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.

Good food, put me in a good mood

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

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.

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!

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

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

Clean decent pub with good parking. It's straightforward pub food but it was delivered quickly and tasted good. Often has money off offers on. Not posh, not atmospheric but a decent lunch.

Great all round service, quality food.

Staff were amazing as was the food! They were incredibly helpful with my wife’s many dietary requirements. They couldn’t have done more to accommodate us. We’ll be going again for sure.

Great food and friendly service

My steak was cooked exactly as I asked for. My meal was piping hot, & the best chips I've had any where. The service was brill, asked us what drinks we were having, & recommended certain brands. Also made sure we was happy with all our meals, & regularly asked if we needed more drinks etc. What more can you ask for.

Lovely food at a very reasonable price

Staff were so lovely, not overpowering asked if all was ok, and it was the steak was the nicest I've had in a very long time... cooked to perfection. Prices are reasonable and my mum cleared her plate she also had steak and again cooked to perfection so thank you again . Service was quick and no nonsense too !

We love coming to the Old Duke for food and drink. Always a great atmosphere, lovely food and Michaela is THE BEST!! All other staff are great too! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely fantastic The staff were so lovely and friendly! Dogs are treated like royalty with their own menu, lots of treats, dog bowls galore - I love it! The baby changing had nappies and cream for emergencies. The whole pub was decorated for Halloween, brilliant decorations!

Very friendly welcome by Kayla and Simon and shown to our table. No waiting round. Tasty food. Thank you. Will come again,,,,as we already have!

Lovely pub on the outskirts of Southport. Only went in for a drink after work but it was nice to see how friendly the staff were. There is a nice little outside seating area for sunny days which is sheltered from the main road.

Meeting family in a friendly clean pub. Our dog loved the reception she got and all the choice of chews was amazing.

Both my wife & I had pre booked a table on Thursday26eptember for 1830 however we arrived an hour early & we were greeted with a great & friendly welcome by Amber who brought our booking forward with no issues, Amber took our food & drinks order, we opted for the Thursday steak special and the meal was delicious as was the top level of service. Thank You to Amber for her most charming welcome & the chef for an excellent meal. from the team. We were first greeted by Amber who took our food & drinks order with charm, friendly

Excellent service all round. Great menu and service all at a good price.

Friendly staff,lady behind the bar was very helpful.lovely food!

We have been to the Old Duke to celebrate family occasions before and found the food , the staff and the atmosphere to be perfect for all of us in our party , everyone commented on how nice the food is each time we have been .

Favourite pub in Southport!!! Every single member of the staff are an assert to the establishment! I honestly couldn’t recommend it more!!!

Good meals. Be prepared to wait for a while for them but you do get a good value meal. Nice surroundings.

Great lady who took our order, felt like a friend. Made us feel very welcome Michaela was her name.

Modest curry. Very dog friendly. Asked to pick up a colour cone for dog owners. Colours to match dogs temperament. To help with different dogs in the same area. Curry was tasty but short on substance for price. Friendly staff.

Just had the lunchtime fish chips,it was served quick, hot and tasty,under £10. Will certainly visit again.

Staff members were really friendly and helpful

Lovely lunch. Busy but relaxing atmosphere. Great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Delicious food.

Pleasent service and food food at a reasonable price

Piping hot food served with a smile. What more could you ask for.

We've been several times now and the quality of food and service has been the same - EXCELLENT 👌 Nothing is too much bother, the staff are great and are always attentive to every customer they serve. We have been recommending The Old Duke to everyone we know who are looking for a great place to eat at a very reasonable price. Well done and keep up the good work.

Food was lovely , lots of drinks to choose from . Served by Michaela who was amazing. Will be back again.

Always cheery service and decent food

Always a positive experience, Service very good Good value, Always clean and welcoming, We go on average twice, a month Would recommend

I love this place, and go weekly for lunch. All the staff are friendly and lovely, can't do enough for you even when the place is very busy. Foods always very nice, place is clean and welcoming

Very friendly service Ron very helpful and welcoming recommend a visit thanks

We visited the Old Duke on Monday 19th August. We booked a table of 19, only that afternoon. Hayley worked really hard to get us in. Sophie served us with taking our huge order (starters & mains) for us all, she got every aspect of it correct! All food came out together, hot and every meal was absolutely lovely! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff working that night, we would not hesitate to recommend this gem of a pub to anyone x

Excellent . Clean place good staff and pretty reasonable price. We have been many times.and always enjoyed the food .

Everytime we come we're happy. It's great value and always great service.

Very good food and reasonably priced

Good food reasonably priced. Always plenty of room and staff pleasant and friendly.

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

hot plates so food stayed warm and very friendly staff, lovely service and very happy to have a chat.

Been to The Old Duke at Kew, Southport a few times with our dog. Very friendly, welcoming pub, great food, good menu, will definitely return.

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

Pleasantly suprised, decent food and service. Very dog friendly.

Not the best food, beer is expensive and not that good. won't be going again.

We actually stopped here by accident, we were going to a different restaurant but when we spotted The Old Duke, we thought we would give it a go, and we are really happy we did! The staff were friendly and courteous, the food was beautiful, piping hot and tasty. We had a laugh with staff and the atmosphere was really pleasant. We will definitely be going back. Thanks for the great experience.

Had husbands wake there and always been great when been

Excellent food and very friendly, helpful staff. I had the House Salad with Chicken and Bacon and Cheese. Highly recommended.

This is my second visit to the Old Duke . I’m really impressed by the service from the staff and the fish is lovely . First time I went with my husband , 2nd time my daughter and Grandchildren. It’s lovely and clean and like I previously mentioned great staff and not sure if the lady I spoke with was a manager or the landlady?. Thank you to the team for making this a lovely visit . Looking forward to bringing the dog next time 🙂🙂🙂

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

Again another fun quiz night with Simon considering the events that Southport had gone through he made and gave a sad night into a humble and heartfelt night,and it gave a few hours to forget about the bad times

4 of us dined here after a visit to Southport and we all had a different meal and all 4 were lovely prompt service and great atmosphere also dog friendly with a doggy menu 👍👍👍👍

Told by the staff no roast chicken left so ordered the turkey and beef , just before our meals arrived the table next to us ordered chicken and got it No horseradish sauce came with the beef had to ask for it asked for cranberry to go with the turkey was told none left yet the table next to us got that as well even though they ordered well after us Poor service to say the least with staff dismissive of our comments

Food was great service was A+++ highly recommended

Great prices very reasonable really enjoy the curry night can’t fault it

Well kept service is good more of a food place so atmosphere is lacking

Lovely food, good value for money for the amount, just a shame not dog friendly inside

Staff were friendly service good food quality and friendly

Really enjoyed food, service quality really good. Lovely and clean. Well worth the money.

Great friendly place to eat, and very dog friendly.

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

Fantastic lunch .. wonderful staff

Even though it was very busy, the service we received was excellent, ordering was quick and easy, waiting time for food arriving was within 15 mins and quality of food was basic but very tasty. Will definitely be booking again soon.

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

Busy when we arrived being a Saturday tea time but we found a great table for our friends and the grandkids out of the way. We didn’t have to wait long for our drinks and food and the kids enjoyed the play area - overall a pleasant atmosphere and great staff.

Our regular place to eat out now. Love it

Simon and India were wonderful! Very kind and excellent service!

Just had lunch and it was possibly the worst we have ever had anywhere, we had two steak pies, one with mash, one with fries ( as they had no chips). The pies, appeared to have been taken from the freezer, microwaved, then put under the grill to crisp the top, the result was a soggy under cooked base with three small pieces of meat & one piece of carrot or swede in mine, the wife left all her pie pastry, I left half of mine, you couldn't make and cook a pie that would be much worse than these The tasteless mash, I would suspect was a cheap catering packet mash and a few peas, the fries were ok & a little jug of watery gravy. The chef shouldn't be allowed to serve such rubbish, tried twice now, never again. No one came over to see if all was ok and the wife wouldn't let me make a fuss, so we just left. Oh!! & the Wainwrights beer was warmish, but ok. Paul

Excellent service and excellent food friendly happy staff what more could you ask for

Bang average Sunday dinner. 1 roast potato split in to 4, tasteless carrots, watery tasteless gravy. The rest was ok. Asked for some extra roasties…… £2.49 they wanted. First time for Sunday lunch….. Sorry wouldn’t go again or recommend.

The food in the the old duke is lovely, and they offer plenty of options too. They also offer 25% off if you have meerkat meals which is a brilliant discount. The staff are always very friendly and the atmosphere is always a happy and chilled one. It’s a dog friendly pub, it’s very clean and there’s loads of space to park your cars. Lots of options on draught too! Ive visited them a few times and will definitely be returning again and again. 100% would recommend.

Absolutely joke, we went for a family meal the children were meant to eat for £1 and we thought it would get taken off the bill as we paid, it didn’t and when asked why they said I hadn’t shown them the email when booking I explained NO WHERE on the email said that. Our bill was £224 and that was excluding the 2 meals they took off and replaced because they were inedible !!!

First time visiting The Old Duke, we were made to feel very welcome from the off, we ordered three meals with drinks, Kayla took our order and couldn’t do enough for us. The food came quickly and was delicious, easily the best Marstons we’ve eaten in and pleasantly surprised to see a full menu for Dogs who are also welcome too, i’ll definitely be back along with my dog next time. Tip…try the ultimate veggie burger it’s scrumptious!

Food and service excellent as always. A small issue was dealt with efficiently thank you

Had the steak pie which was thick crusty pastry and lovely chips. The gravy was provided separate for self-service (as it should be). Coffee was lovely as well especially if your like me and hate machine frothy coffees

This is a good place for above par pub grub. The staff are friendly, the food is good. What’s not to like? We tried the steak pie with sweet potato fries and our daughter had chicken tikka, all delicious. Worth a visit

A lovely place with a great atmosphere. very welcoming with great food. Brilliant service from Harriet today super efficient and lovely girl

I had the Hunters chicken baguette, great staff and service!

Very good service through server Harriet

The team at Southport are always so nice. They are a credit to the business. The pub runs so smoothly and they always go the extra mile to make the experience great. Well done team, we love visiting you all.

Great service and the food was top quality - served by Harriet

Food and drinks was lovely, 1st class service from Harriet. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful food and service from our server Harriet!

Absolutely amazing service from Harriet our server, loved every second of our meal!
