Very big change in food and service since the owners (When it was Sandbanks) sold to the new…read moreproprietors of the Duke of Wellington. The food is now well worth the trip, utilizing local ingredients across the menu, and with great attention to detail in the kitchen. The burgers are spectacular. New additions include the Canadian Bacon Cheese Burger layerd with piles of peameal bacon, and the More Bacon Burger with three different kinds of bacon on the burger with all the fixings. Add to that the amazing views from the massive waterfront patio and the Duke has taken a poor concept and completely turned it around.

(Sandbanks wine when we visited, unfortunately no local beer) Unfortunately, the restaurant was very understaffed and there was obvious miscommunication between the kitchen and the servers. (Although the servers were nice) We waited 30 minutes to hear that they were out of what we ordered. Overall, this could use some additional servers and improved communication between those who are working in the restaurant.

When busy - very noisy: not conducive to gentle conversation, but I am sure younger people may love…read morethe atmosphere. I had Piper Pollo. My friends had wings and commented that the wings were rather small, compared to the description on the menu. The chicken was good but the topping/gravy was so salty, I had to scrape it off. The chocolate cake, though, was amazing. We had Lacey as server. She seemed to be in a hurry, as she asked us about payment while we were still on our entrees. We told her we wanted dessert and she brought the checks in a rush before serving the dessert. When bringing the dessert, she brought the POS to process payment! There was no asking if we wanted coffee or needed anything else! I work in customer service and being served in this way, is considered rude. Going back? I don't think so. The owner and bus boy seemed lovely - maybe we just struck bad luck with our server. Maybe the manager could teach her to deliver a slice of lemon either in a ramekin or on a side plate, but definitely not by hand and squashing it onto the side of a guest's glass...

Attended an event in Brighton and stopped in for a quick bite and beverage…read more First impression right at the entrance was a whole bunch of smokers; it's not a huge area but had at least 6/7 people all smoking and it reeked! - I'm not a rabid ex-smoker by any stretch but this was a real turn off and they really should consider moving the big ashtray/smoking area away from the front door. We ordered the 10 wing appetizer and a couple of pints, server came back from the kitchen to say that they were out of cajun seasoning so we'd need to order a different flavour; I make my own cajun seasoning as does almost every home cook I know - it's 9 different spices mixed together - Google is your friend! The wings were a good size though and unbreaded which is always appreciated. It was quite busy for a Saturday afternoon and obviously popular with the local crowd. Shout out to Emma our apologetic server and lovely, friendly young woman
