Lovely relaxing cosy pub with excellent food, will defiantly be returning! Couldnt recommend this place enough!
I absolutely love this pub. I've said it before but it is just fabulous. The staff are awesome. Super friendly and so welcoming. Food is fantastic. I can be quite parky and nothing is a bother. Staff in the Kitchen always do my food just as I like it. Been for my lunch today then popped back up with the dog to sit outside. Such great front of house staff. Diane you are a star looking after me and master Flynn. Just a great bunch.

Sometimes outward appearances of a pub can be very deceptive YET the look of the Duke of Wellington lives up to every expectation that i had.
A lovely, homely, welcoming & spotlessly clean pub that i would happily walk into on my own.
The food served was excellent, fresh, hot & tasty along with the drinks latte for me as i don’t touch alcohol & Peroni for the hubby that came out of the pump cold & most enjoyable.
The staff was friendly & very welcoming thank you for a lovely dinning experience today.
Lovely meal ... nice pub with nice staff! Brownie was to die for x
I had the posh fish finger sandwich and it was divine. Not even cod goujons but a full fish fillet battered perfectly, not too much, not too little. We were on a lunch break deadline and they were very prompt...
Was there with a few friends yesterday Sunday 25th June, excellent meal nice & tasty. Good beer prices as well, every body enjoyed meals. We were on table 13 round the corner from the bar which was nice
We were in yesterday for the grand reopening of The Duke and what else is there to say but absolutely outstanding. Food was 10/10 along side fast service at the bar for drinks. The staff were all great and could not do enough for us. Thank you to all of the guys at The Duke of Wellington 😁
The food is always good. Good choice of Drinks and the staff are very helpful. The prices is right.
What a complete contrast to the rubbish experience we had in Ambleside. Nice food, friendly staff and a good ale in the Duke of Wellington. Well done Neil and the team for a lovely night.
We visited last night for a celebratory anniversary meal. Barman was attentive and polite. Welcoming fires. We sat in a quiet corner by a window. Food was first class. Dessert was amazing. Got a little chilly next to the window. But in all fairness we sat there. Wud recpmmend.
The girls and I went for Sunday dinner here, with our furry friends! Excellent service and the chef was very accommodating with my dietary requirements too! Thank you all and you’re doing a great job in the world of hospitality
A pub that has very good value food, welcoming staff, plenty of seats and customers are mostly locals. The pub comes with free parking as well.
Some time ago, I posted a pretty negative review for another pub in Durham. It was a chain pub that advertised great food, but the fact of the matter is that the food was bland and overpriced. Really, I could only recommend it for the beer and (sort of) the atmosphere.
On the other hand, the Duke of Wellington (known affectionately as "the Welly") is probably about as good as this type of pub is going to get. The beer is reasonably priced, the food is darn good, the staff is pleasant, and the atmosphere is delightful. Simply stated, it's part of a chain, but it has the vibe of a local hangout. It's not what it's not, but it's a good example of what it is, and that's good enough.
Nice and cozy pub. Strongly recommend beer butter mushrooms
Lovely little pub/ restaurant. I say little, it was bigger than I thought.
Car park available, plenty of beers, wines and spirits to choose from. They were fresh out of Estrella when I went, so Guinness it was.
Great variety on the food menu, and prices are very reasonable. Food was that nice I forgot to take photos of our mains and deserts.
We had gammon,with fried eggs/ pineapple each followed by sticky toffee pudding, ice cream and cheesecake.
The staff are very welcoming, polite and helpful.
My husband and I went for a meal and was nicely greeted by Martin who greeted.my by my first name and was extremely polite and helpful. Staff are very nice . Our meals were lovely but I would like to see salmon and jacket potatoes on the menu and maybe mince and dumplings with home made chips.
Lovely pub, we turned up as a group of 4 on a Bank Holiday Sunday and they managed to find us a space. Really friendly staff, quick service and good food.
Prices pretty standard for pub food.
Would definitely go back again.
Great atmosphere and amazing pub food in reasonable price. Reservation on weekends is recommended.
Went for a meeting. The place was quite busy for a Thursday afternoon and said it would be up to an hour for food which we didn't mind as the meeting was going to take a while. The food came out in under 30 minutes and was really tasty! Tried a couple of the real ales and they where spot on. Will definitely go back again
It was sooo a lovely place and a great Sunday roast restaurant. Duke of Wellington is very close to Ustinov College, so many students of Durham could enjoy this place. The price of the course was excellent. The amount of food and taste of food and dessert was super nice. But I was sit next the column and that table was so uncomfortable. It was too small to move my body, and because of the column, waiters and waitresses couldn't see me, so I couldn't order the menu easily even though I booked previously.
Except for the table, it was outstanding in many aspects.
As always great food ...quick lunch date, fresh food and good service.
Staff were incredibly friendly and on point! The soup of the day tasted amazing and the Raspberry Sunday was nice. I expected more from the tri roast dish, it tasted quote dull and could do better in my opinion. The place and Atmosphere was nice and relaxed, clean and very chilled to be there.
Would recommend ;)
We had our wedding reception here and all the staff were amazing. All the food came out beautifully prepared. They set everything up perfectly. Thank you
The food is good value for money, however the service is very good.
I would recommend eating here.
