After running a few errands it was time for breakfast. We were close to Ainsdale and decided to head to Dukes. A little quieter than our first visit. Good open space with room around the tables. Additional seating at the bar and outside for those nicer days or those with pets. Good, well made latte to start followed by a breakfast sausage bun and scrambled egg. Tasty and filling. Good choice for breakfast or even later in the day.
Lovely warm feel to this bar/ restaurant, staff very welcoming and knowledgeable, decor and lighting , makes this place , comfortable, cozy and inviting
Lovely litlle roadside cafe bar. The small breakfast was perfect. We'll cooked, we'll presented and just the right amount. It's not often you notice how we'll the toast was cooked.! Great value for money and really friendly staff.
Had a lovely evening with my friends. Food great especially the deserts! Nothing too much trouble for the friendly staff. Highly recommended. Will be back soon.
I rarely write reviews but I just had to for this place. We stumbled across it while travelling in our van, literally parked right outside and had the most amazing meal! The food was SO GOOD (we had the hummus + swedish meatballs from the small plates, then the burger + the curry for mains). Absolutely incredible honestly, best meal I've had in ages. The staff were super friendly, one of the lovely ladies even gave me recommendations of where to parkup that night! All in all was a 5/5 experience, if I'm ever round the area again I'll DEFINITELY be going back for that curry 🤤

Thanks Dukes, you were wonderful ....so accommodating and made our Mothers 90th Birthday party a truly special day. We are delighted to strongly recommend the booking of your private room and catering as this is most certainly the perfect celebration venue
This has to be a 5 Star from me. If you get the chance go try the Sunday Roast Dinner do it... It was beyond delicious. The food was cooked to perfection. To start i had the chicken wings .. i literally didnt want them to end. Then the Gammon roast dinner … The roast potatoes were unreal, like propa homemade ones.(my mouth water writing about it).Then the eat & mess for dessert which was simply the icing on the cake .. The restaurant is gorgeous, the staff are so friendly and cant do enough for you. You walk away feeling very satisfied .already booked for next Sunday.
After a 15.1 km Meander along the first part of the “Trans Pennine Trail”, we enjoyed a well earned rest, a couple of pints and a very nice meal. Helpful friendly staff and a very pleasant environment. An ideal location for those, like us, using Merseyrail.
I visited Dukes for lunch with my family. The food was delicious and the staff members who served us were very helpful and very friendly. We will certainly be visiting again soon.
I dont often leave a review for anywhere, however, me and my boyfriend have recently moved to the area and we had a meal here a couple of nights ago. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff were super friendly. I think we've found our new regular! Absolutely amazing, I couldn't recommend it enough!!
