Dukes Bar & Deli — Restaurant in Woking

Exceptional authentic Italian cuisine with warm and friendly service included at no extra cost. We had heard good things about Dukes and decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon. Firstly, the exterior of the restaurant, set in the middle of a nicely landscaped square, is impressive and quite unique and certainly makes you want to step inside. We were greeted warmly like regulars and the food did not disappointment. We ordered the lasagne, stinging nettle ravioli, seafood spaghetti and mushroom risotto. The seafood spaghetti was very generously portioned with large prawns, mussels and octopus. The ravioli was beautifully subtle and the risotto deep and nutty. We finished with the tiramasu freshly made that morning and luxurious profiteroles. Overall, the experience was first class and the food is some of the best Italian food outside of Central London. Dukes deserves to be more well known and I hope that their name spreads...

Both meals were good size and absolutely delicious. We had 2 drinks each. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will defo return and recommend. We brought our netball club here for our Christmas party. Just brilliant and so accommodating! Amazing food (again)! Diego our lovely bar tender was brilliant 🤩...

Edit: Well that's all very easy to say, but you served me less than 100g for £15, I finished in literally less than a minute. If we're talking average portion sizes, an average ready meal is 400g, so your piddly portion is way off the mark. Calorie-wise I would estimate about 250-300 calories, 1/8th of my daily intake from the main meal of the day, in what way is this something to brag about? "Have a wonderfully...
