About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Dog-friendly
Good for special occasions

The Duke of Cleveland is situated on the Headland in Hartlepool, just a short distance from the coast and next to St Hilda's Church. It is a listed building and the oldest one still in use in the town. Our establishment is a restaurant and pub with an excellent reputation for serving traditional homemade British dishes. We take pride in sourcing produce from local businesses as much as possible and use these ingredients to create the best dishes for our patrons. Our signature dishes include Haddock in our special beer batter with hand-cut chips and the local speciality, the chicken parmesan. We believe in keeping things simple and making them well. On Sundays, we offer a traditional roast dinner with a choice of Roast Rib of Beef, Loin of Pork, Breast of Chicken or Lamb Shank.

The Duke of Cleveland is the ideal venue for weddings and other special occasions or events. It has a choice of function rooms suited to your requirements. In the summer months, we open our cosy bear garden.

Great place for a light lunch with friends. Unfortunately two dishes were incomplete as the restaurant had run out of the salad that was supposed to accompany the light scampi and chicken tenders .

Another excellent meal, first mid week, we normally visit on a Sunday for their hellish lunch. Once again the food was excellent and the service second to none. Highly recommend this gem of a place. Thanks again and see you soon.

Genuine hidden gem. The food is excellent and the service is even better. Had Sunday lunch today - the lamb shanks are fantastic. Three very full and happy people, and Trophy Special on. Can't fault it.
