FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT<br />
A noble<br />
welcome to all<br />
With elegance and charm trickling down from its noble namesake,<br />
The Duke of Leeds in Wales is a rural retreat steeped in history,<br />
graciousness and aristocracy.<br />
Once a coaching inn on the road to Harthill, the<br />
pub is now back in the hands of popular landlord<br />
Ian Wilde who is once again serving up great<br />
quality food and exceptional local ales.<br />
The cool, country feel of the pub has a luxurious<br />
edge. Warming plaid fabrics are mixed with plush<br />
vibrant leathers, adding to the warmth with two<br />
roaring fires for a rustic yet modern feel. Or as<br />
better weather arrives, relax in the walled courtyard<br />
area which is a perfect place to soak up the sun<br />
and surroundings.<br />
The chefs have created a menu to highlight the<br />
highest quality local produce they use, with hearty<br />
mains and lighter options.<br />
“<br />
Their beef dripping<br />
chips are a must and sit<br />
perfectly alongside their<br />
quality fish<br />
”<br />
For lunchtime bites, the sandwich menu has<br />
hot choices including pan-fried sirloin steak with<br />
caramelised onions and blue cheese, or baked<br />
goats cheese with roasted red pepper and<br />
red onion, both served on ciabatta with chips<br />
and side salad.<br />
Moving onto mains you will find all the<br />
traditional favourites including homemade steak<br />
pie and beef lasagne. Other meat options include<br />
minted lamb shank, sausage and mash, gammon,<br />
liver and onions and their speciality cheeseburger.<br />
Vegetarians are also catered for with a choice of<br />
vegetable wellington, goats cheese tart, or pea,<br />
feta and mint risotto.<br />
Known for their catch of the day, the humble<br />
fish and chips is a speciality at The Duke of Leeds,<br />
with hand-battered haddock and cod waiting to<br />
be devoured. Their beef dripping chips are a must<br />
and sit perfectly alongside their quality fish. The<br />
fish and chips can be made to cater for gluten free<br />
diets on request.<br />
And with an ever-changing specials board<br />
featuring the likes of belly pork, seabass or duck<br />
breast, you are sure to find something to tickle<br />
your tastebuds.<br />
If the springtime has made you dig out your<br />
walking boots, the Duke of Leeds is on the route<br />
of South Rotherham’s Five Churches Walk, so<br />
why not stop off for a pint on your way exploring.<br />
When it comes to good ale the Duke of Leeds is<br />
recognised in the Good Beer Guide CAMRA’s<br />
premier publication featuring the very best pubs to<br />
find a great pint in the UK.<br />
