    Welcoming, warm on a freezing cold day, excellent staff from cloakroom to front of house. Attentive, but not overbearing. Made us feel very special. Food appealed to all 4 of us and was enjoyed. Relaxing, not rushed. Overall, a great experience and can’t wait to go back.

    As always we enjoyed a wonderful relaxed lunch at the Duke William. Staff members Jenny & Adam excelled at making us welcome. We like the new menu, especially the Jerusalem artichoke & goat's curd starter which is delicious. Ditto our old favourite the vegan cheeseburger & fries. There are so many things we like about the Duke William which is why we have dined there 3 times in recent weeks. Delights include the roaring log fire, beautiful garden with views across the fields & oast houses, plus the friendliness of the staff. We also like the ease of parking. The Duke William is our favourite country pub. Our only complaint is that Kentish Gypsy Tart is no longer on the menu, it was our favourite dessert, but has not been available to order for a long time :(
