Simon Goodman – Head chef/Owner

I try to use as much of the abundant produce available from the local area – cooking with meat from nearby organic farms, fresh fish from the south coast, as well as the pub’s own vegetable patch. The emphasis here at The Duke is on simple & delicious dishes. With 20 years’ experience as a head chef, and winner of the Pub Chef of the Year competition, I am convinced that this is the sort of food & atmosphere that will continue to pull people into our precious local pubs.

The Duke of Cumberland Roast

We also offer a unique Duke of Cumberland roast option; this can only be pre-booked and joint requirements have to be with us two working days before your booking– minimum number of guests is 2 and over. Our roast joints are available any day of the week but do need to be pre-ordered at least 48 hours in advance.

The joint options are:

  • lamb for a minimum of 4 persons;
  • rib of beef, loin of pork and chicken for a minimum of 2 persons.

Please note our rib of beef can have fat running through which adds to the flavour and texture of the meat. Please ask for it to be cooked well if you prefer a more firm, well cooked joint.

Also available is our nut and vegetable roast encased in puff pastry and individually prepared (vegetarian and vegan but not gluten free).

All roasts come with Yorkshire pudding, duck fat roast potatoes, cauliflower and leek gratin and fresh garden vegetables. (All adapted for vegetarian and vegan guests as well as other dietary requests.)

Please advise all dietary requirements in advance.

We also have a daily menu If you would like to order off the a la carte menu instead on the day – please let us know.

  • Burger and chips
  • Ham egg and chips
  • Fish and chips
  • Pesto pasta

All of our roasts are: £34.95
