OUR FOOD

When you visit The Duke Hotel, there may be a few things you would like

to know about the food we serve in our restaurant.

​

Our suppliers:

Our “ethos” is around the concept of sustainability. We only choose suppliers with a sustainability policy similar to ours, and we prefer choosing suppliers within a radius of 20 miles from our building. Small, independent, family-run business to the front!​ Our award-winning butcher supplies us with the best quality cuts from Wiltshire County and its surroundings, and our free-range eggs are laid only a stone's throw away. We prefer investing in organic food such as our milk, butter, some cheese and wine, and we grow our own herbs and vegetables when possible.

 Our MSC-certified fishmonger ensures that our fish and seafood are caught sustainably and in the least impactful way on the ocean. We proudly choose species native to the cold coasts of England and Scotland. All our suppliers are listed on our website.

​

Local and Seasonal:

We respect every ingredient in the kitchen, so we strive to use all parts of our food.

Our food waste from the kitchen is then converted into compost used to grow our

 herbs and vegetables. Our menu changes many times throughout the seasons.

 

We proudly blend classical gastronomic techniques with elements of European & Asian cuisines.

​

Note* We are proud to support our local suppliers and to use as much local as possible, however, as we specialize in Italian & Asian cusines, some of our suppliers provides us with the finest selection of produce from Italy (truffle, pasta, truffle oil, burrata, parmesan etc..) & Japan (organic rice, sake, plum wine, whiskeys, spirits, liqueurs, sauces and condiments).

*Please note that some of our dishes may not be subject to alterations due to contamination risks.

A 12% discretionary service charge will be added to the table. Please do not

feel obliged to pay this if you don’t feel the service warrants it.

​

Accessibility: Due to the nature of our listed building, at the moment we are regrettably wheelchair inaccessible.

The pub/restaurant can be accessed by the back window from the beer garden, however, the toilets have all steps and so difficult to access. Please note that our members of staff will always be helpful should you require to.
