A la Carte Menu
| Here at the Duke, in the middle of the Glorious Cheshire plain, we feel it's only right & proper to support our local Farmer, Artisans' and Producers. People like Ken Webb with his amazing Hereford/Limousin cross bred and hung for 21 days at Cheadle Farm, some two miles from the Duke. The list goes all through our menu, Pete Moseley's Potatoes from Peover, John Houldsworth for his amazing low fell lamb & outdoor pork, David Levings, rising from 2.00am every morning to secure the prime Fish, to them and many more - Thanks, David & Matthew Mooney | ||
