Your 5-Star Experience - Recognised by VisitEngland

December 9th, 2025

Once again, all the team here at The Duke are thrilled to be celebrating after securing another Five-Star Inn rating from VisitEngland following our recent assessment.

A spokesperson for VisitEngland commented:

The Duke on The Test comfortably achieved the VisitEngland Five-Star Inn rating and each section secured a high rating.

To match last year’s score is highly commendable.

The quality of food and the excellent levels of presentation are a real credit to the kitchen brigade and add considerably to the overall experience at the inn.”

This achievement reflects the warm, welcoming and high-quality experience that defines The Duke on The Test.

We couldn’t be prouder of our staff for their hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to excellence – and of course, we’re deeply grateful to our guests for their continued support and kind words. This achievement is yours as much as ours!

Testimonials

The end result of the work is a triumph; every aspect of the site and the building looks stunning and works together to make optimum use of everything there.

The Hot Smoked “Chalk Stream” Trout was simply divine and the tastiest dish I have experienced in a very long time.

The fresh food served was a perfect match for the setting; completing the experience for us on the evening, and we will be back!

What amazing place to visit. This will now be my number one go to establishment.
