Enjoy a Relaxed Light Lunch at The Duke
Escape the busy town and discover a more relaxed way to do lunch at The Duke on the Test.
Just five minutes from Romsey, our peaceful countryside setting offers the perfect place to take a break, catch up with friends or simply enjoy something delicious away from the hustle and bustle. With free parking available, enjoying a leisurely lunch couldn’t be easier.
Our new Light Lunch Menu is now available Monday to Saturday from 12pm to 2:30pm, running alongside our À La Carte menu.
Designed with value in mind, the new menu features a selection of light lunches, sandwiches and seasonal dishes.
Better still, you can enjoy lunch and a drink for under £20, making The Duke a great choice for a relaxed weekday lunch or Saturday catch-up.
There’s plenty to discover on the new menu, including Italian Bresaola, a traditional salted and dried Italian Beef, alongside our Fishcakes of the Week, served with Curry Sauce and Spinach.
With seasonal dishes and lighter options available, there’s something to suit a quick lunch break as well as those days when you have a little more time to sit back and enjoy the surroundings.
Take a little time out. We’ll take care of the rest.
