Welcome to The Duke of Gloucester

A welcoming family-friendly pub in Crewe

Try your hand at some shuffleboard on your next visit and enjoy our two Shufl boards, perfect for competing with friends or family.

We have new menus perfect for the season and featuring something for everyone. If you’re looking for somewhere to have a great Sunday Roast give us a visit, we have a delicious roast with all the trimmings and bottomless Yorkshire Puddings.

Our bar is stocked with JW Lees cask ales, lagers and we have a cellar filled for wine drinkers and gin lovers, and we also offer slow roasted coffees from Paddy & Scott’s.

We have plenty on offer with food and drink specials as well as quiz nights and entertainment, keep up to date with what’s going on by signing up to our newsletter.

NEW DISHES

Book your table         

There’s something new on the menu this autumn, and it’s worth popping in for. Brand new comfort food dishes have joined the line-up, each one a proper plateful.

Fancy something a bit special? Try our Grilled fillet of seabass & garlic prawns, with sautéed potatoes, buttered greens and parsley cream. Or go cosy with our Slow braised minted lamb Henry, all bubble & squeak, honey glazed root veg and gravy. Looking for something lighter? Our Nourish bowl has you covered, packed with rice, edamame beans, broccoli, avocado and pink pickled onions in a honey & soy dressing, with grilled chicken or griddled halloumi if you fancy.

And of course, great value never goes out of fashion. Our Cosy menu is back too, two courses for 16.95 or three for 19.95, served Monday to Friday from 2pm. And our Pub Lunch menu is served Monday to Friday, 12 noon to 5pm, for something lighter in the middle of the day.

Good food, good company, good prices. Grab a table and come and try it for yourself.

Buy 2 large glasses of wine and receive the rest of the bottle on the house

Wine Wednesday

Halfway through the week is always a good time to enjoy a special treat (plus a little extra in your glass from us). Every Wine Wednesday when you order two large glasses of wine, we’ll give you the rest of the bottle on the house. It’s a perfect way to elevate that midweek get together with great company and hot food, all in the welcoming atmosphere of our family friendly pub.

Bob’s big Sunday night quiz night

Fantastic weekly quiz night with great prizes to be won throughout the night. A great atmosphere, and it gets busy so we recommend arriving early to get a good seat.

Unlimited Yorkshire puddings and bottomless gravy

Sunday is a day of roast

Sunday is a day of roast. Our roasts come with bottomless gravy and unlimited Yorkshire puddings (because one Yorkie is never enough and good gravy should never run out). Nothing truly beats a proper Sunday lunch, and it’s even better without the bother of cooking and cleaning. Sit back, relax and tuck into our traditional Sunday roasts, served with all the trimmings.

CELEBRATE AT THE DUKE OF GLOUCESTER

Celebrate your upcoming special occasions at the Duke of Gloucester. With a range of cosy dining spaces to book, we can offer guests a variety of different seating areas with feature fireplaces. 

Our Brewery

If you’re interested in exploring more of our beers, check out the JW Lees website where you can find out about the full range. From classic cask ales like the iconic Manchester Pale Ale and JW Lees Bitter to our craft lagers – there’s something for everyone. We also have our seasonal cask ales and The Boilerhouse microbrewery where we experiment with innovative flavours. There’s a huge selection of JW Lees ales and lagers from over 190 years’ brewing experience.

Joe, Ben and the team could not have been more accommodating for our large party. Despite several last minute changes to the timings of the group, they always made us feel welcome. Thank you for looking after us!

I don’t usually leave reviews but I sincerely had an awesome experience from the booking process to actually celebrating mom’s 78th birthday at the Duke of Gloucester.
Adele who served us was the best hostess ever! We were laughing all through & not one complaint on the food. Thanks to such an amazing chef with great culinary skills!
