Where do I start with Dukes? The staff are some of the nicest, kindest staff I've ever met. The atmosphere in the cafe is always positive and happy, dogs are allowed inside & out of the cafe, there's music but at a reasonable volume so you can still chat and hear each other, and the staff. The coffee machine is quite quiet too which is a lifesaver when being served as sometimes it's very difficult to be served when all you can hear is the coffee machine. I have adhd so I am very sensitive to sounds and cope very well in the cafe.
Food is delicious, well priced & good portion sizes. They cater to vegetarian, gluten & have a variety of foods to try on the menu & the specials board. The variety of cakes is to die for and the coffee is good coffee.
I think Dukes could do a loyalty coffee card as they have so many regulars, we would fill ours up in no time at all š¤£
Dukes are dog friendly and make such a fuss of all the doggos who come in. There's water, treats, puppachinos & ice cream available for doggos.
Well done Dukes on making a fantastic cafe in our park. Your team are fantastic and I absolutely love coming in to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe have been for a lovely Sunday lunch today. The beef brisket was absolutely banging! It just fell apart! Whilst we were eating the table next to us were eating their own food and drinks that they had brought with them. The lady in the cafe politely told them that they couldnāt eat their own food in the cafe but informed them that there were plenty of other spots to eat a picnic. When coming on here to leave a review I noticed the review that had been left and felt the need to comment. I am sure if one person did have sensory issues, the cafe lady wouldnāt have minded them eating their own food but this family ALL had packed lunch!
I am all for fairness and this review...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe staff was hostile to us first speaking to us with attitude about moving pushchair from door, which I obliged and told us to clean up mud from the bottom of our pushchair by handing us a dust pan and brush. They delivered this message with hostility. I confronted them and the staff member swore at me using the f word after refusing to apologise. Eventually the chef did on her behalf. Never been treated like that before. I have 4 kids and Iām used to cleaning up after them if needed. This was over exaggerated. Perhaps this woman is having a hard time I donāt know. But she runs a cafe in a park so you know thereās mud...
