Dukes Inn - Carte

Stayed here whilst walking the South West path. Staff were excellent, room was lovely and price was very reasonable. Would def stay again if back in the region.

Management non existent and very slow service. No one seemed to be in charge and they had two people guarding the entrance and not nearly enough serving customers.

We haven’t eaten at The Duke for quite a while but wanted to give it another chance. Wish we hadn’t because the roast beef lunch wasn’t good at all. The only warm thing on the plates were the potatoes, while the meat and veg was all very cool. Voir le carte

What a find, a great place for a meal. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. The food was very good and great value for money. We were hoping to eat there for a second time but unfortunately storm Ciaran had other plans for us. Would definitely re visit.

The waitress was lovely and efficiant. That is where the good parts end. The food was only just passable, i had Hake my partner had Plaice. Both were tasteless. Portion size was very small, not worth the price. will never be back. Then to finish they refused to accept my money (cash). I will not be bullied into having only one way to pay. I paid cash. Then went to the chip shop as we were still hungry. My advise is to avoid this place like the plague.

After braving Storm Ciaran, we braved a dreary Thursday evening in Sidmouth. Despite two failed attempts at finding a place to eat, we finally stumbled upon Dukes. We were pleasantly surprised to find a couple of free tables and were warmly greeted upon entering. The menu had a great selection of dishes, and we ultimately decided on the fish pie and mussels. Both dishes were delicious and served in generous portions. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and found the staff to be friendly. While I hadn't planned on leaving a review, I felt compelled to share that our experience at Dukes was far from the negative reviews I had read. Voir le carte

We made a mistake by calling in at lunchtime for coffee and cakes, as they were really busy so we expected to wait. The drinks arrived, but we had almost finished by the time the cakes were served. We suggested to the waitress that it may be good to explain if there was going to be a delay with the food and perhaps the drinks could be ordered a bit later. The food and drinks were extremely good quality. The manager came to our table, he immediately understood and offered a compromise. The situation was resolved with quiet professionalism, great communication and excellent customer service. Lovely place, good atmosphere, I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to return.

The location is fantastic, great views of the sea. The atmosphere is both stylish and cosy, relaxed and comfortable. We had a warm welcome and were shown to our table where a waitress quickly arrived to take our drinks order. The menu looked delicious and the waitress pleasantly and efficiently sorted out my queries as to what I could and couldn't eat on the menu due to dietary restrictions . I chose steak,salad and chips and thoroughly enjoyed them. My husband and mother in law chose lemon sole and were not at all happy. M.i.l. thought hers was underdone while husband's was so overcooked it had turned mushy. The waitress did offer to change my husband's but he was so put off he had lost his...

Dukes is a large eaterie that we discovered on the Friday of our long weekend in Sidmouth. We booked in for Sunday lunch roasts available) but chose instead a couple of bowls of salt, chilli and ginger squid. The squid were predominantly whole baby squid and mighty good with the ginger and soy dipping sauce. A nice addition would have been a wedge of lemon and a sweet chilli dip, more akin to the chilli and spring onion garnish. We followed this with traditional battered cod and chips and a fish pie. Both were good choices but i would like to have seen a greater variety of fish in my pie, rather than just salmon and white fish..some prawns and monkfish for example as the dish was a little pr...
