The Duke Of York

Surprised my partner with a family dinner here for his birthday, and am so glad I did. When we arrived, we were shown to our table that had ample space for our party of 2 adults and two children. We were offered children's menus. The children were happy to have options for starters, which they don't always get on a kids menu. We attended on Thursday, which was 241 steak and grill night. We were offered drinks. The children asked for orange juice with lemonade. When I asked the price, I heard the children's drink was £1.60. The drinks that arrived were huge. When we received the bill where we were charged £2.50 for each drink. My partner went for a raspberry rum and lemonade. I had a large merlot. We were both happy with our drinks. My partner had the prawn and crayfish cocktail. He thoroughly enjoyed it. The children went for garlic bread and spring rolls. The garlic bread was good quality with minced garlic, and the spring rolls looked perfectly crisp. Both dishes got the thumbs up. For mains, the children went for the fish gougons with chips and scampi and chips. Again, the food looked fresh and crispy. Both adults went for the mixed grill, which was incredibly tasty and more enjoyable, knowing we were only paying for one dish. Everything on the plate was flavoursome. We had to ask for extra nbq sauce for the ribs, but we both thoroughly enjoyed the dish. I ordered peppercorn sauce for the 4 oz steak, not realising it was an extra cost, but the gravy boat housed a very generous portion that was very tasty. For afters, Mr. picked the baked strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake. I went for the pineapple upside down cake. The cheesecake was phenomenal. The pineapple upside-down cake was not quite as tasty and looked more like a rum cake than the cake I used to get at school with custard. It was a nice cake. Would have liked the option of custard instead of ice cream, but it was a good desert. The cheesecake was next level. Service was pleasant. It was a little slow at times but it appeared only 2 staff were on the floor and the restaurant was quite busy. I asked for the bill and eventually had to go ask at the bar. I received an apology because the server forgot. We were overcharged for one of the children's starters, but it was quickly corrected. All in all, it was a lovely night out. The venue was nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were courteous. We will definitely return.

Four of us dined here for the first time and had an excellent evening. The service was friendly and the food is great. It was 2-for-1 on burgers which meant the total bill for mains and dessert was very reasonable. Thanks for having us, we shall recommend!

A delightful meal. With great service and with a 2 for 1 main deal. Very reasonably priced. We will be returning and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Great pub for food service and atmosphere- EXCEPT for the loud, crass, rude, gross individual who sat behind us. We couldn't have a conversation between the four of us for his persistent gutteral noises, foul mouthed and upsetting behaviour. Not a good advertisement for what is otherwise a great venue.

Came here for the first time tonight. Was greeted by the manager david who has been absolutely wonderful throughout the whole evening. All the staff have been very friendly and the food has been amazing. Will definitely be returning here in the future
