We had an absolutely fabulous Christmas Day lunch at the Duke's Head. I live locally and it is already one of my favourite pubs but this exceeded all my expectations. Such a warm welcome and incredibly friendly and efficient staff despite being busy. The food was delicious with extremely generous portions, including as much gravy as we desired! The wine was also excellent. The atmosphere was perfect - festive, cosy and lively without being noisy. We all had a fantastic time. Thanks so much to everyone working there. You made our day. We hope you enjoyed a much deserved staff dinner afterwards.
