I normally go here for drinks but the food it’s pretty good. The spicy nachos are mint here. Great atmosphere with bar, restaurant, garden bar, TAB and pokies. Staff are pretty good and bar always shows a lot of the big sports. Just watch out for Dad’s army that sit near the toilet door by the pokie room hahaha
This place is very nice atmosphere inside and the food is beautiful and the deserts are the best I have had In a long time. I will be coming back here again In the future
Wow wow great meals and very large portions all our meals were served hot I ordered a med rare steak and it was. Cooked to perfection and the Diane Sauce was yummy every loved there meals My partner had the Chicken sandwich which was perfect mate had schiztel very big but he loved it. Service was. Outstanding very friendly staff. Outstanding Kiwi food at a great place we will be back.
Went to The Duke for dinner for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised by the ambience and the food. I must admit I didn't expect a great deal as this place has a bit of a "pub" reputation, however we were really impressed with everything about the place. The restaurant area has a nice warm feel and the staff were friendly and obliging. We realised that this wasn't to be a "fine dining" experience but nonetheless, the food was excellent for the style that they offer. Everything was cooked well and presented nicely. Big meals which really pleased and satisfied some of the guys in our group. Good prices (including drinks), good wholesome tucker (and plenty of it) and a great atmosphere - what more could you want. Great place for big groups - we will be back!
Our first time at The Duke and it won't be the last, had a very enjoyable lunch the roast of the day was cooked to perfection the only thing wrong no fresh vegetables only roasted veges. The service was excellent staff were great and we will go back again. THANK YOU...
Probably the best pub in Napier & Hastings. It is my local but since I only get home to Napier 2 or 3 times a year since I work overseas, I look forward to my first pint in the Duke. The restaurant offers great simple food that is sure to please. Staff are attentive and very friendly. If you are looking for a place to have a couple of drinks and then a nice meal then you wont find anywhere as good as the Duke in Napier. Simple, well presented honest food for the entire family. The garden bar is summer is fantastic.
Went for brunch as we were from out of town and all other cafes were pumping (Mission Weekend)
The food was great but the service of the young bar girl (had tattoos and a beautiful smile) was outstanding. She was gorgeous, friendly and helpful.
From the lady who had Guinness with her brunch!
We loved this cute little pub. If you are on the road and looking for a meal you can’t go past it. Indoor and outdoor seating and choice of pub menu or bar menu. Super friendly staff and quick service from the kitchen. We had the ham and pineapple pizza - delicious
Good range on the menu and all tasty, followed by a good drop. Only gripe I had was I asked for a medium rare steak and got well done, not ideal for spending $40 on this dish alone. I would go back though, the atmosphere is good.
First time here and it won't be our last. Staff are welcoming and warm, as is the space. Food is so filling and quality wise, better than others we go to. Highly recommended.
The meals were superb 👌 well worth going. Staff are friendly and great service. Dinner time is better than lunch depending on the atmosphere
This restaurant was such value for money. The meals were massive and so delicious. This would have to be my new favorite restaurant in Napier and we can't wait to go back there again.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. They had lots of people in the restaurant with Christmas functions and they still managed to get our main meals with in 15 mins.
We were more than happy with our meals and the overall experience.
Thank you The Duke of Gloucester for such an amazing meal.
This is the 2nd time we have eaten here. The food is excellent and plenty of it. My only constructive comment would be to request salad dressing on the side, my Dressing was very spicy, probably chilli, which I don't normally eat. They happily put leftovers in a take home container. We had Sharese as our waitress and she was just excellent.
We stopped in for lunch on Monday on arriving in Hawkes Bay for a brief holiday.
The staff were very helpful in sorting out food that would meet my dietary requirements offering me gluten free options for gravy and cheese sauce to go with a large and delicious portion of roast beef with vegetables.
I can definitely recommend them as a lovely place to eat especially if you have dietary needs.
Went with a group and all enjoyed very much. Meal delicious. I had fish and chips. I do enjoy good fish and this was super. White moist and very tasty. Ch ips were done just right and nice side salad.
Serve good we didn't have to wait long which is a good plus..
Went for brunch over the weekend with my wife and kids. Staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food was great and the service was excellent. Another gem in Hawke's Bay! :)
