The Duke Of Edinburgh

I went with a friend for food and drinks, lovely relaxed atmosphere, staff were amazing and the food was lovely. I would definitely recommend visit. I had the chicken burger and it was delicious.

This is a local hotel to ourselves, but we have not eaten here for a while. Decided to go early evening 5pm for a meal and a few beers. We never booked and took a chance, but there was no problem getting a table in the main room as opposed to the bar area. I would recommend you book if arriving after sixish and ask for a table in the main eating area. Never go to the soulless back room. I like my real ales, and one of the guest beers happened to be on Swan Blonde, and it was in perfect condition. The tables do have a buzzer that you can press to order food or drinks, but I chose to go to the bar. I went for the burger and the wife went for sea bream linguine. Both meals were excellent, and my burger was top quality. Only one problem they tried to be different and served it in a wooden box! Please just use a plate. Two meals, four beers, two wines, and a glass of soda (free), came to £61 and represented excellent value. The background music for once was good and created a good atmosphere. The staff were excellent, friendly, and cheerful, especially the lad responding to the table buzzer requests for food and drinks. The good thing is once you have eaten the meal, the table is yours till you decide to leave so you can relax.

Been here loads of times with work (sleeping in the rooms) but we did have a night out with work colleagues just before Xmas. This is the classy bar in Barrow, no doubt about that. Was really busy with nice people, the bar is huge and has loads of choice. The wine is great!!

Only ate at the Duke in the evening once on our two day stay. Very relaxed ambience, buttons on table for service. I had the camembert starter which was superb, loads of melted cheese and bread. Then the burgers which were enormous and filling with sweet potato chips. Beer was tip top and I was told the chardonnay house white was delicious . Excellent all round.

Food was exceptional and service was top notch. Entire meal was about £30 per head for 2 courses and drinks. Portion sizes were generous and the food was fairly priced as everything was delicious. Would definitely visit again!
