The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish & chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !

Good atmosphere, guy at the counter was well presented, and sorted out my order quickly, even explained all the ingredients in the dipping sauces!

Stayed here as there was no other option for the date we needed and party size. Unfortunately the two rooms we were allocated were not in the best of condition. The better room had plug sockets that could not fit a plug in due to the placement of socket and skirting board. Initially thought the shower wasn't working at, silly me, I turned the on/off dial when apparently I should've been turning the temperature dial to turn the shower on. The blind had no pull cord on it, so it was a slide with the hand situation. Good job the top of the window was at about 6ft height. The second room in our party... Well... The carpet had a great big patch under one of the beds. Not only did it look rubbish but was also a trip hazard. Then at 2230 the occupants of the room noticed a sound and went into the bathroom to find a waterfall coming through from the room above, when that occupant was having a shower. Our party was moved to a new room with damp carpets and oddly (badly) smelling linen. Hat trick of rooms with issues. In the morning the owner seemed genuinely unsurprised about the plumbing issue and seemed to have no real concern for the structural integrity of joists and flooring. And more worryingly didn't seem to be aware of the dangers of and water mixing. I do not know if the upstairs occupants were moved room or even made aware of the issue of water. I would not recommend staying at this establishment.

Disappointing roast, after what looked like a great Sunday lunch on the menu it turned out to be quite disappointing, roast potatoes were hard the roast beef wasn't great and there wasn't much choice of veg. Stuffing (1 piece) was the size of a ping pong ball, we also had to ask for extra gravy which when it arrived was barely enough to drown a fly in. They seemed to be very tight with portions Some nice extra fresh veg would of been enough to make it worthwhile it seems this place struggles on knocking up a decent roast.

Came with my fiance on my latest trip home to visit family. Great to see a good mix beers and we tried a few different ones. The young man behind the bar was very friendly

Absolutely lovely place i had beans and toast so well everyone should go in there life time Please go it is well done duke dennis rizzed me up

So disappointed in this place. The pub itself was kept nicely. But sadly the Moretti was undrinkable and the food….. well!!! All I can say is DO NOT waste your money! We had Sunday dinner (£17.75) option of lamb or sausage - my partner chose the sausage) and I chose the Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy (£9). The whole meal was frozen cheap rubbish. I have attached pictures to show the poor quality. Extremely over priced poor quality food. The mug of Yorkshire Tea was nice though.

Not been for 6 months due to the group of F ers that sit round the table near the front door , but went in on Friday for a meal and no change , a group of 6 F ing this and F ing that and F ing everything , totally unsuitable with my 9 year old grandson going for a game of pool , wont be going again . Food was good though .

If I had wanted a McDonald's experience, I would have gone to Macdonalds. Long queue. People struggling to use the machines to order. Left and went to Costa.

We only had chips so can not comment on any else but they wee soggy and the oil definitely needs changing as the chips were covered in black bits! Won't be going back!

First time visit in years Fish was small overcooked and tough around edges It looked like it had been cooked days before and just kept warm Chips were ok but again just warm Over £23 for two fish and one portion of chips with a small portion of mushy peas Will definitely not be back

nice chippy bit deer but no broon sauce put on chips and fish clean and busy so go early you will be queing

Cheese and onion toastie was probably the worst I have ever eaten. The toast was dry, the crusts inedible and the filling almost nonexistent.

Mostly Bad service and terrible food thats way over priced, bland and under or over cooked. Staff don't get payed enough.

Called i one evening before going to theatre just for a drink. Only 2 or 3 others in the bar who clearly had too much of something and language was choice to say the least and went unchallenged by the staff on duty. I will not return.
