Duke of York
The Duke of York is owned by chef Michael Heathcote. There is room for a few drinkers at the bar but the restaurant is driven from the kitchen by Chef Proprietor Michael who cooks “honest food with robust flavours, and the menu, along with blackboard specials, balances old classic favourites and imaginative modern ideas”. A wine list with many individual wines sourced from small growers and traditional cask-conditioned ales are also on offer. The Duke of York website
provides more information and sample menus.
The Duke of York is open from Tuessday to Sunday inclusive. Reservations can be made to avoid disapointment, particulary at weekends, but are not always essential. Bookings are not required for the Pub. The daily menu and Blackboard Specials are available every day in both the Dining Room and Pub. Pub Drinks (without food) can be taken throughout all opening hours.
