Dukes Cafe - Carta

No draught beer just keg. The fish and chips were poor with the chips tasting like a lump of lard. They were not crisp but soggy.

Wouldn't recommend going without booking first. Arrived at 7pm to have a meal as they advertise serving food till 8. However refused service even though all menus still on the table wasn't even told the kitchen was shut when ordering a drink.

Been eating at dukes now on a Sunday for a breakfast on and off for about a year, always had a great meal , However today was appalling- music was heavy felt like was in. A night club every song said f f f f in in! Totally not appreciated Food was very poor- Luke warm Tasteless Salt pot didn’t work. The blonde girl serving was very plesent as always. Had a latte which was delicious But over all Will try again , Mayb just an off day Ver carta

We went there today 8th February 2020 the food has really gone down potions rubbish I got the halloumi sandwich it was absolutely awful my friend got the salmon that was the smallest potion ever they need to learn how to give you a proper potion of fries because they dont have a clue no more I got what I describe as a egg cup with a few fries in we eat here a lot but no more that it save your money and go elsewhere it's got rubbish unfortunately

My daughter attends dance class close by so I popped in (alone whilst waiting to pick her up. I had a vegetarian breakfast and cappuccino. Both were lovely. The blonde lady who served me (possibly Polish she had an accent was really polite, smiley and friendly. The waiter who took my plates checked I had enjoyed my food and was equally as pleasant. I have eaten here many times in the past and always had nice meals (everything is homemade . I will probably be back next week when I have an hour to spare again :

Although knowing the kitchen closed at eight, we tried to order desserts and coffee after our meal. 8.25pm and you cannot have dessert (limited menu) or coffee as the kitchen is closed. The staff just kept repeating that the kitchen is closed , cutting a slice of cake is apparently the kitchen staff 's job and they have gone home! What the problem was with coffee I don 't know because the coffee machine was in the bar. The staff then started closing everything down, putting chairs on tables etc. We eventually just left after feeling being made to feel very unwelcome. Won 't be going to Duke again. Ver carta

Diabolical service today . . . Ordered Gammon STEAK and presented with 2 slices of thick gammon bacon ! When challenged and explained that I had ordered a Gammon S-T-E-A-K in good faith from menu (photo hopefully attached) was told chef had cut gammon steak in 2 ! Does s/he do this with beef steak too ? Had a battle but changed order for lasagne and mentioned 2 difference in price but left without refund, despite mentioning it twice . . . Very P-O-O-R, even negligible customer service received and now regretting the Christmas DO I have booked for 10 people if that is Duke's attitude ! Can't believe it after visiting from the very first week they opened !

I have eaten over the years at Dukes and been impressed with the consistency of their service and food. They are continually improving the place, and on a sunny day with all the doors open so it looked upon a sunny Princes Avenue, it felt a little like being on holiday. The Shiraz wine was really good, and my gammon, fried egg, thick-cut chips, grilled tomato, onion rings, mushroom and side salad just absolutely hit the spot. The gammon was thin and had been tenderised, and almost covered the plate. It wasn’t too salty as is often the case with gammon served in pubs, and I was very impressed! I went the next day for fish and chips and it was equally as good. I was also impressed with the div...

I had breakfast veggie) send one egg back due to been over cooked came back with another one very greasy and half cooked) had no butter on my plate and the veggies sausage where cold in the middle, when I told the waiter about this initial he was understanding and went to the chef and came back with an attitude telling me because I had “most of the meal” i could not have a full refund it cost £6 and Change the waiter was unaware that i had given the beans away 5 at the table) so in-fact the cost £6 and some change was a mushroom two eggs one which was sent back), 3 hash browns and two slices of toast.
