Had one of the most enjoyable lunches out today as my wife and I visited the Sportsmans Inn.We travelled over from Bramley on a beautiful Springlike day. First time visitors we plumped for a Retro lunch and dessert.I had half a pint of Taylors Landlord which was excellent .I chose the Fishermans Pie which came with Roast Potatoes and a selection of spring Veg.The dish was fantastic with succulent pieces of fish in a creamy sauce topped with mash and a cheesy top.My wife had the Beer Braised Beef which also was delicious.Finding space for a dessert I opted for the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with vanilla Ice Cream.My wife had the Banoffee Crumble with Creme Anglaise.Both were fantastic.We immediately booked for Mothers Day. Can't wait to go back .Highly recommended!

New manager (for about the 7th time in 3 years!) and a total refurbishment - hopefully this arrangement stays as it is for a long time to come, because it really is a step up! Great food, good beer (T Taylors and Black Sheep last time I looked), classy decor and a great location - all served up by cheerful, friendly hardworking young staff. Fingers crossed this new team stay the distance...

Went here on Wednesday night. It only opened just before Christmas. Not many tables, liked the open kitchen. Food was good - Italian style - but service was a bit slow. Liked the decor although a big mirror kept putting us off a bit! Good value . NB we had booked (birthday do) and it was pretty full on a Weds so please bear that in mind.

Very friendly staff/Management. Very nice food. Lovely surroundings. Excellent service. More than happy to recommend to anyone. Thank you !

Wonderful atmosphere, cosy and warm with roaring open fires. Real ale, real food - can't be beaten!

Been twice recently and can thoroughly recommend the £10 for 3 courses menu. Some items on the menu do have a supplement but even so its excellent value and no scrimping on value. The only complaint would be that due to the low ceilings and lack of soft furnishings it can get a bit noisy. Even still I can't wait to go back.

The Duke's food is second to none. Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is welcoming & comfortable. Well worth a visit from out of the area for the food alone and worth a visit to have a beer and some banter with James, Maria, Dan, Hazel and the friendly locals. Top draw in every sense of the word. One visit wasn't enough, I've been several times and I'll be back. (like Arnie). Recommended: chilli melt, steaks from local butchers and especially the Xmas menu. Also, don't miss out on Maria's jacket chips. Enjoy.

This pub was recommended to me by a friend. I came with my husband and we had the fish deal on a Friday. Absolutely beautiful! It's the best meal I have ever had out! Excellent price too! Overall, fantastic healthy quality food for an exceptional price. Could not possibly be beaten! Thank you

Great pub with fabulous friendly staff. In terms of food the Duke of York punches above it's weight. Sunday lunch is great value as is stake night on Wednesday but for a real treat try Thursday night and Maria's special curry....it's outstanding. Try it and you won't be disappointed

i would recommend this place to anyone . its got a lovely atmosphere the staff are fantastic friendly lovely people . and the food is top class love it

What a wonderful place to stay and eat. Friendly and efficient staff, superb food, excellent service. Fabulous real ale. Rooms are very nice. If I had one tiny wish, for improvement for me personally, I would love an easy-chair in the bedroom. Saying that it has not stopped us booking again nearer Christmas.

ordered from get stuffed quite a few times, only cos they take card payments. The food isn't fantastic, and twice I've been ripped off - in the case of the latter they delivered our pizza (ordered chicken and sweetcorn, received a small amount of chicken with more mushroom than base - allergic to mushroom) - after an hour and charged £10 for a small. For the next hour we could not contact, them and they refused a refund despite messing up our order.

Oh My God amazing food just to die for!!! The friendly staff are fantastic and are very welcoming, always service with a smile! I continue going to the Duke enjoying every minute of it :)

The welcome is very friendly. The food is excellent and the service is attentive. Prices are reasonable and overall it’s excellent value for money.

Two meals here so far and I intend to make it three very shortly. The food is excellent, the portion sizes good, the ambience and staff very friendly. Beer and wine selection should, I imagine, cater for most tastes. On top of all this, the pricing for the meals I have had were very competitive for this area.

we went to la tavas in a group of 6, and we were all disappointed the size of the portions were more for children,and the food was not that good, and it was i was pricey. the place had no atmosphere the manageress was abrupt and very off handed all you heard was her yelling at the poor waitresses. no we won't be going again and will not recommend either

great beer,excellent food,real fires

Just had Sunday Lunch there. Roast beef thick and moist. Vegetables hot but crisp and Roasties beyond compare. Yes we will be going back.
