The Duke Hotel is an independent, family-run gastro pub; a place to eat, drink and sleep.Tucked away in the picturesque village of Hilmarton, we are serving locally sourced seasonal food in a relaxed and welcoming ambience. The Duke has a stunning beer garden overlooking the majestic beauty of Hilmarton's fields and countryside. The pub also offers 4 freshly renovated en-suite boutique hotel rooms, 5 pitches for caravan & motorhome and The Duchess lounge, the old coach house, which has been renovated and converted into a farm shop & tea room. The Duchess lounge is our hidden gem set in The Duke's ground. We offer a homemade selection of cakes, scones, teas & coffee, afternoon tea, cream tea, breakfast, brunch and lunch. The Duchess also offers a great space for private hire. We also have a small farm shop selling local raw honey, organic butter and milk, free-range eggs, fruit and vegetables from nearby farmers, flowers and lots of local produce and hand-crafted gift ideas.
