Never again.

This is a good pub with plenty of room and a relaxed atmosphere. The beer is kept well and there is a good wine list. Where it fails to impress is in the dining room. The menu is interesting and the food is served up looking appetising but in miniature and one taste gives it away. The food is microwave-cooked which is obvious by the tough texture of the meat. The portions are very small and extras such as vegetables are limited.

The pub offers little by way of flexibility (meat cooked differently, different sauces etc., which is due to the buy-in, reheat nature of it. By the way - I don't know for sure that this is what they do although if not, then it's worse than I thought...

The service was poor and unhelpful. All very disappointing. The Dukes Head seem to have tried to present itself as 'gastro' as is common these days but all that resembles this is what's written on the menu and the big, shiny white plates.
