We only had drinks but they were good value and the atmosphere and decor was lovely and very festive Updated: we had Sunday roast here and it was lovely, everything tasted freshly cooked and piping hot. The cauliflower cheese was delicious too! The dining room area is really nice.

Wow!! What a transformation!! We never really went to the 'Duke' much before, but that will certainly change now. The pub is now very modern and welcoming. The food and the service was all very good, a nice selection of beers and a great ambience. We enjoyed lunch out in the beer garden, but the inside restaurant also looked very tempting, so we will be back at a not so later date to enjoy their hospitality once more.

This is a little gem for a hidden wedding venue! I've lived in Whitstable for quite a few years, and never knew that there was a small venue within the ground of The Duke of Cumberland. It's such a lovely area for your intimate weddings. Very cosy, unique, and hidden away. The staff were very welcoming, and helpful throughout the day, not just to me, but to the Bride, Groom and all the wedding guests. It's less than a minute walk to the beach, close to all the main parking, and very easy to find and access. I hope to have the chance to work with them all again, especially after all the new renovation they have had done.
