What our customers say

To the Team at the Duke, especially Bridget, Ida and Tim, thank you for all your help leading up to and on the day of our wedding. You went above and beyond the call of duty supporting us within every aspect, being flexible and accommodating to all our needs. We would recommend the Duke of Marlborough not just for a wedding but also for a night away or just a meal. The staff are friendly, approachable and very helpful. Thanks again, Han and Richie MacPherson

- Hannah & Richie MacPherson,
