Stayed for 2 nights (writing this on my last night, sat still hungry in my room!)First night meal was good actually, though service was a bit haphazard given I was one of only about 4 people in the place. Tonight different story, place was packed (turns out itâs quiz night), so even worse service, followed by the absolute worst steak Iâve ever been served (hint: either buy better quality or invest in steak knives because theyâre inedible and impossible to cut otherwise), joined with the least peppercorny peppercorn sauce (at least if the sauce was good it would have masked the crap steak a bit). It was also just this side of Luke warm. Given the waitress was also the barmaid I can appreciate she was struggling. Impossible to complain as I never saw her back at the table so after 30 mins just left the whole lot congealing on the plate while I waited patiently at the bar for another 20 mins being ignored just to pay for the crappy food I didnât eat. As you can tell, Iâm grumpy when Iâm hungry. Would be good if they just explained that a quiz was due, especially when the quiz master said that the quiz would have to be delayed as âapparently people are still eatingâ like we were bloody pariahs or something. Unimpressed.Thank you for taking the time to share your views with us.I am sorry you did not enjoy your dining experience with us. We were unusually very busy for our quiz night and therefor our bar team were extremely busy.We have had lots of glowing comments about our food including our steaks so I am disappointed that you did not enjoy yours. I am sorry that the waitress was not able to check on your meal once you had been served, due to how busy we were. Had you have mentioned your disappointment to the bar man when paying, we would most certainly have offered to cook you another steak and bring it to your room or taken it off your bill.We value all comments both good and not so good so thank you once again for taking the time to review us.Kind regardsTracy BalenOwner

We went to the Dukes yesterday for Mothers day with my Wife and Rosemary/Mother In-law. The restaurant was busy and we enjoyed a pre-drink from the well stocked bar served by the friendly staff The restaurant is in a Sun-lounge which was airy and light. The Mothersday menu has a good choice of starters, mains and deserts. I went for the 2 course option of Salmon and Lemon Sorbet. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, being served quickly by Cristian and his friendly team We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and visit to this quality, friendly and quaint Bar & restaurant - will definitely be going back and highly recommended Thank you Anne, Nicola, Rosemary and Stephen
