    We’ve eaten at the pub twice now and both times the food and drinks came out to the table quick with a friendly and attentive staff. Great place.

    Husband had Sunday roast and I had Spicy Seafood Pasta With extra spice, which made the spice level just perfect for me and not too hot. Staff are super welcoming, and in a Sunday night at 7pm they have a traditional song along for the whole pub.

    No problem seating me - it wasn't busy. Now, I didn't really fancy anything on the main menu but fish n chips - and didn't really fancy that either. (I was to be glad I hadn't ordered it, when I saw a portion pass, and saw how huge it was!) It was too hot to be eating something so substantial. So I had two small plates - squid, and chicken goujons. Have to say, I wasn't overly impressed with either - the squid was a bit rubbery, the goujons' coating was burnt (although the chicken was ok). But hey, it sated my hunger. I ordered another glass of wine, which came promptly - I thought it was just the weather for ice cream, and asked for a portion of that, too. I guess they had to defrost it or something - it took absolutely forever. Mind you, they were very short-staffed. And then my friends arrived, and there was a large, empty seating area in the bar, so we all moved to there. I was trying to cancel my ice cream order, at the bar, when it finally came - so I had it in the bar. Best part of the meal, I have to say.

    The pub was fine. However, we arrived for our 945pm reservation only to find out that the kitchen closed at 10pm. It didn't make sense to have reservation slots that near to closing time.

    Great food with good options. We had friends in town from America who wanted classic fish and chips. Duke of Kendal delivered with great food and plenty of other options. My friends also commented that they loved that the environment was comfortable and cosy without being too loud.
