The Duke Of Wellington

I can’t remember having such huge portions of great quality food! It was really tasty, but can I complain about it being too much?Here’s the thing... I’m sure the management know what they’re doing, but surely if the main course portions were a bit smaller, they’d sell more deserts? We really wanted deserts, but were too stuffed! Yes, I know, we didn’t have to eat it all (and we didn’t, but our dog loved the leftovers).Even the kids’ sausage and mash was huge!Anyway, give this place a try, but maybe Tapas is the way forward!

We had been recommended to try this restaurant and we were really looking forward to it but left us a bit disappointed. Only two front of house staff working on a Saturday evening, juggling running the bar and restaurant, both very pleasant people. We ordered a couple of tapas dishes to start with and the calamari was ok but pretty sure just heated from frozen, definitely did not taste home made or fresh. For mains we had fish and chips and the roast veg tart. Fish and chips were ok. The veg tart was tasty but served with a mountain of skinny fries and underdressed salad. A shame as the fries , to me, didn’t compliment the dish, again ok . Bread and butter pudding for dessert, the menu described as sherry soaked raising, with brioche bread baked in baileys infused custard. We asked for ice cream, it came flooded with cream, no big deal but the pudding had no taste of sherry or baileys. It appeared as a slice of white toasted bread in cream and that’s all we could taste, no taste of spices etc. Again nothing extremely bad, but looking at all the reviews, maybe the chef was off that evening? Based on our experience, I doubt we shall return, a shame.

Super 3 course lunch just over £12 well worth it, good friendly service, spotlessly clean and most welcoming. Good to excellent pub restaurant menu. Off street parking or park on road.

Located in a little village this pub is ancient, charming, and is one of my favourite restaurants which we use frequently and often take guests. Local competition is hot and the Duke is one of the best.Parking can be a bit tight due to its popularity. There is a petanque piste and pleasant garden. Summer eating is enjoyable as there is a sheltered area at the rear but not at the front.The menu varies daily and a la carte interesting and seasonal. Portion sizes are very generous but doggy-bags are not a problem.Make allowances for service time because all the food is freshly prepared. The vegetables are done to a turn and never overcooked.The staff are attentive and helpful and all seem happy in their work.

Amazing food, good quality produce and huge portions. Staff professional and friendly. Great value for money
