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!
