Went here for lunch and was absolutely delighted with the service and food.
Loved the food.
An absolute pleasure to go to the Pub.
Looking forward to popping back and trying another item on this amazing menu.
Thankyou Duke of Wellington.

Went for a meal. Vegetarian pasta was great, sadly lamb cutlets were deep fried instead of shallow fried & had too much crumb on them. Staff were friendly & pricing not unreasonable.

Upon arriving and booking it was brilliant! But that seemed to be where it stopped. The food ordered wasn’t what was in fact ordered, sauces were wrong but the biggest let down was the 400g rump (ordered medium) came only just past rare, not even classed as a medium rare, food was a complete let down for the night. The male bar staff simply didn’t speak a word to me apart from the initial “are you next” yet conversed easily with the 4 male customers that were being served. This visit was very disappointing as the previous times visiting the food was brilliant & all staff service couldn’t be faulted.

The staff are all fantastic and will go out of their way to make you comfortable. I took our little 18mth old and the waitress was so beautiful, making sure he had a high chair and when she seen him getting restless while waiting for food she gave him a bowl of chips to munch on. It's family friendly and the food is great. I will suggest you book a table as it can be very busy even on week days.

The gaming room wasn't the best experience. The machines were dirty and the staff were using foul language. By the looks of it, the room is under renovation which I am sure will look good after completion.

Really nice pub. A good example of Newcastle's thriving pub scene. Disability friendly. The whole pub is an open area and very relaxed. The bar bends around three sides of a rectangle. Two sides are the bar and the third side opens to the long attractively green dining area. The pub type menu has genuine vegetarian options, is well cooked, tastes good and is reasonably priced. There are there usual specials on different nights Monday to Thursday eg schnitzel, pizza, hamburger. I arrived mid afternoon and was hungry. The manager offered to cook me chips (although the kitchen was closed) because that was the limit of his cooking ability. The chips were great and I was impressed about the service ethos. I was a bit surprised that they did not have light beer on tap but the white wine was good. You'd think no pub in the Hunter would have poor wine but if just come from another pub whose house wine was appalling. This is really good pub and I recommend it.

Normally very happy with the place but even though I had booked we were seated in the Bar area, it was noisy and lots of people.

Nice pub tucked away in new Lambton. For a Saturday night Live entertainment was playing different bands or solo singer's food looked really good. A great area for people who want to watch the football big screens to watch it on...
Had a great time with my family for a birthday get together for me, nice people in da pub too

Meals at the Duke are very hit or miss. We had the S&P squid and steak sandwich off the lunch specials menu. Reasonably priced, however the steak was tough and the squid didn't have much S&P coating. The staff are always wonderful and accommodating.

I would have rated higher but the fridge had mould. Nice and clean room and bathroom. Some signage for accommodation would be beneficial. The bar staff were lovely.

I was really excited to see they had a vegan snitzel option on the menu but then was really disappointed because the lunch snitzel special didn’t include the vegan snitzel. Others on the table paid $15 and I had to pay $23. It just sucks! Be more inclusive already!!!!

I rang and booked a table for 20 for my birthday and was pleasantly surprised that they were so accommodating and didn't require a deposit. I confirmed numbers 2 days before the night for 16. Everyone was happy with their meals, I forgot to take photos, sorry. The only thing that I would say and is reflected in the rating is that one of my guests sprinkled a tiny bit of salt onto the table to check whether it was salt or pepper and a male staff member saw her do this. He then told her rather curtly that he didn't appreciate what she had done as he was going to have to clean it up ! 😐 Apart from that everyone was happy and I will still go back to The Duke.

I gave 5 stars only because of my bad experience for lunch today that the bar waitress offered me a free drink to compensate which I appreciated
My friend and I waited well over an hour
for our meal even though it was not very busy at all
I ordered an Asian salad which came with no dressing to which I took back and was given a dressing not specified for that meal on the menu , the waitress kindly ordered another meal for me
Which I’m sorry to say looked like it had just been thrown together
Not too impressed today at all
Kind regards

I ditched Tilly dog for my uncle Wayne again tonight. It's ok she's forgiven me.its a fantastic feed here. Perfect Pork Belly for me and superb steak for uncle. Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection.
The service was absolutely outstanding and the pub itself is bright and spacious on the inside. Very modern but not 'uppity' just a great laid back atmosphere. The lady who served us was so helpful and provided some fabulous banter along the way and really did increase our enjoyment of the evening. Wish I got her name. I will next time as I will be back! Highly recommend the duke for a meal or a relaxing drink after work.

Have never stayed here so can't speak to the quality of the rooms, but we've been coming here for dinner and trivia most weeks since Nova trivia moved from LPH to the Duke. We've had the odd meal that was a bit average, but usually the food is great and the trivia is consistently good. The only thing that's annoying is getting a park nearby and that's not the pub's fault.

Four of us enjoyed a few after work brews and dinner. A schnitty, S&P squid, BBQ Korean burger, and creamy Chorizo linguine. The meals were served quickly, piping hot, and delicious! My squid was so tender I hardly had to chew. Couldn't recommend highly enough, we'll be back for sure.

Food was good, served as described. We had the chef salad x2 and pizza x2 to share. Food Service was good. Bar service by the female attendant left us feeling like we were an inconvenience, so sullen and rude. Ordering drinks when it wasn't busy seemed to be an imposition, and to ask for some water and glasses was met with more attitude. Not polite, didn't respond at all to requests left you wondering if she was serving you or not! Love the new look open air opening up the front of the bar area - great.

Expensive food that is ok all depends on how kitchen is doing
I've had way over cooked steaks and boring ribs with small but responsible salads the chips are not great.
As most places are basically terrible it's ok.

Didn't stay at hotel but had a meal there.
Ok Pub meals are Pub meals. Once in a while you find good Pub with a good Pub Meal. The Duke of Wellington has good pub meals. had the Pork Belly and Crumbed cutlets. I'll start with Pork belly, tender pork with super crisp crackle. The side was mashed pumpkin and Bok choy was fresh and tasty.
The Crumbed cutlets had crisp crumb with tender lamb very tasty. Will come back for a meal next time Im in the area. Thanks for great meal
