Between 1st and December, you can choose to dine from our special Christmas menu. We will be serving a choice of two or three delicious courses, packed with warming winter flavours, a cosy atmosphere, and a sprinkle of Duke magic.
Just one of the many highlights is our Pan-Fried Fillet of Seabass, served with Roast Garlic & Caper Potato Terrine, Tenderstem Broccoli, Chorizo Crumb, and a rich Lobster Cream Sauce. Alongside other seasonal favourites, there’s something to tempt every palate.
