Dukes - Speisekarte

We hadn't booked but got a table outside. The fish specials were really good, we started with smoked salmon and Brixham seafood chowder. I had the plaice over sliced, roasted baby potatoes in a butter sauce and my wife has sea bass. All were excellent.

We had not dined at The Duke in quite some time, but decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, we regretted our decision as the roast beef lunch was not good. The only hot item on our plates were the potatoes, while the meat and vegetables were all cold.

The Dukes is a lovely place to stay, right on the esplande, and if you have a sea view room, you see and hear the sea. The staff are so friendly, and helpful, in particular Dan, the manager. Excellent customer service. Great breakfasts, and the food is really good, for a light lunch, or evening meal. We thoroughly recommend the venue. It's quite a busy spot, and with the good weather great to eat outside on the terrace.

The waitress was delightful and efficient, but unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The food, a Hake for me and Plaice for my partner, was bland and barely edible. The portions were disappointingly small for the price. We have no plans to return after this experience. To top it off, they insisted on only accepting payment by card, but I stood my ground and paid in cash. Still hungry, we ended up going to a chip shop. I strongly recommend avoiding this place altogether.

Parking a big problem, only a few parking places, so have to pay to park overnight, room very average, small bathroom, too hot towel rail made the room hot, uncomfortable bed, double, very basic furniture, curtains too short for windows so let light in, breakfast was ok but they bring cold toast out when breakfast arrives, no butter, no clean knife, no plate for your toast. Staff were polite, but the parking is a huge problem especially if you disabled, have stayed in better for less money, sorry, but wouldnt stay there again.

Love this restaurant booked a table for 3 o'clock was greeted by a very pleasant young man sorry didn't get his name taken to our table nice and clean lovely comfortable seats .

Steak cooked as I requested lovely tasty salad fish again crispy and fresh...Next time we're in Sidmouth we will be back to eat at the Dukes again we'll worth a visit ....

Glad we booked as this appeared to be a popular restaurant. There is a good range of food on the menu to suit most palate and at a reasonable price. The visit was on a Thursday night which is curry night and a free dessert was included in the price. The beef madras was a good choice, having plenty of flavour and not ruined by overdoing the heat. I would have liked the sauce to have been a bit thicker but that is just a minor quibble. My wife went for the beef brisket which was an excellent choice, with plenty of meat that would fill most diners. Overall we were happy with this visit and would definitely return in the future.

My sister and I, with our friend meet every Friday and each chooses the venue. First time I’ve been to Dukes. My sister had the Hake which she enjoyed but at £17, was poor value. Our friend ordered chicken burger but asked for it without the bun. On arrival at the table the burger was in the bun. When mentioned to the waiter there was just a “whoops, I didn’t notice that in the kitchen”. No offer to take it away and remove the bun. However the chicken was over cooked and dry. She left 75% of it. My sister urged me not to complain. Me, I had the Mac/cheese and paid an extra £1 for bacon. On arrival the portion of Mac/cheese was insufficient to be regarded as a main course and I had to look ha...

Dukes is a spacious restaurant that we stumbled upon during our long weekend in Sidmouth. We made a reservation for Sunday lunch (they also offer roasts), but opted for a couple of bowls of salt, chilli, and ginger squid instead. The squid, mostly whole baby squid, were delicious with the ginger and soy dipping sauce. It would have been nice to have a wedge of lemon and a sweet chilli dip as well. For our main courses, we had the traditional battered cod and chips and a fish pie. Both dishes were tasty, but I wish the fish pie had more variety of fish, as it only included salmon and white fish; some prawns and monkfish would have been a nice addition, especially considering the price of £19....
