Situated on the edge of the town centre near the station, the Duke does not get as noisy as similar large bars in the town. The bar has an airy feel with modern, comfortable furniture and a fine open fire. Paintings by local artists are displayed around the walls. Good quality, reasonably priced bar meals are available, including pizzas. There is a separate restaurant. Beers are mainly from Lancaster (owned by the same company) with guest ales plus three craft keg ales and bottled beers from around the world.
