Our Festive Set Menu is proving as popular as ever this year!
From Traditional Roast Turkey and Christmas Pudding to our indulgent Slow-Braised Featherblade of Beef with Dauphinoise Potatoes, Beetroot, Parsnip Crisps and Celeriac Purée, our chef's have cooked up a sumptuous selection of dishes.
The Festive Menu is available from 1st to 24th December and must be requested at the time of booking (a £10 deposit per person is required to secure your table).
Weekend dates are booking up fast, but we still have some availability midweek. Whether you're planning a works do, family meal, or a festive catch-up with friends, make it extra special at The Duke.
To book, please call 01794 377500 or email hello@thedukeonthetest.co.uk
