The Dukes arms

My absolute favorite pub in the world! Very Friendly staff and locals. They make everyone welcome. The only pub I would feel fine visiting as a single lady. Great Music nights. I hear they have their own Woodfest music festival and have raised thousands for a local hospice! Amazing food. Quirky decor!. Looks small from the outside but don't be deceived. Huge parking area at the back. Amazing seating areas in the garden that goes on forever even has an open fire. Want to keep this absolute gem of a place to myself but it is just as a pub should be and deserves to do well!.. Wanting to move to Woodford so it will be my local! Highly recommended.

Booked a table lunch time Friday 3rd January, we both had steak and ale pie, I had mashed potato, my husband had chips, the meat absolutely melted in your mouth, the pie was very very generous, I struggled to eat it all, hated leaving any, it was so tasty. The staff made you feel very welcome, table service made it special. I would definitely recommend this lovely country pub, it was busy, recommend booking a table, hope we can make this a regular treat.

The most gorgeous village PUB, EVER! Lots of thoughtful outside areas for different sizes of social groups gather, Including a much coveted log fire, rustic under cover seating and tended to by the local ot customer who has the honour of being seated closest to the logs. Although, when taking on on this task, you should expect lots of "advice, support and good humoured ribbing" on how well you placed your your log and therefore made 🔥 fire. The landlord is welcoming and can always be relied on to think of lots events to keep the locals and visitors entertained and coming back. The staff are warm and friendly. The ale is great. A lovely red wine available and as a Yorkshire Lass who has driven many 250 mile round trips, to be at some of the brilliant events put on throughout the, "WOODFORDSTOCK" being my favourite, they make a fabulous brew that comes with a biscuit. The food is also great having eaten there many times, be it a snack for lunch. Going the full hog and eating in the restaurant on an evening, or tucking into lovely pub gub in the garden. Ladies, the loo's are downstairs. You will even find feminine hygiene products in there if you are cought short (thank you). There is parking. It has charmed me so much, either though I live in Leeds, it is the pub I go to most frequently.

We went on a Wednesday evening. It was a bit busy . No tables inside. Outside was pretty busy too but found a table. We went again on Saturday lunchtime and it was very busy. There was a dog show on the green. Queue for the bar and again no tables side but found one outside. Even though there was a queue, we got served quite quickly. Decided just to have a drink on Saturday. We did eat on Wednesday. My husband had a Pie and a pint for £12. I had lamb shank with mash and veg I think it was about £19. Anyway it was delicious and both were good portions It is a quirky dog friendly pub with a lovely garden and we will definitely visit more often.

We went to the Duke last night for a meal, I had the mixed grill and my wife had the lamb, and it was brilliant, lots to choose from on the menu and the specials, board and my wife had her favourite pudding, bread and butter, I was stuffed from my mixed grill lol. We will be going back there very soon. The staff were very helpful and a brilliant beer garden. This is a fantastic place well kept and clean, good luck to the owners they put a lot of effort into it, not many places like this anymore?
