The kind of evenings people talk about..

A pub quiz, a steak night, a terrace BBQ when the valley is at its best. The Duke runs events the way it runs everything; without ceremony, and very well.

RACE NIGHT

The Duke is hosting a charity race night on Friday the 23rd of October in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. Doors open at 7pm, with happy hour drinks from 6 to 8pm and a pie, peas and mash supper to keep everyone going. On the night there’ll be fun betting on the races, a raffle and auction, and spot prizes throughout the evening. It’s a good night for a good cause, and the kind of event the bar was made for. All are welcome, but booking via the link below is required.

Terrace BBQ

When the valley decides to cooperate, the terrace comes into its own. Seasonal BBQ menu, long afternoons, views across the Tyne Valley. Watch our social channels for confirmed dates.

PRIVATE EVENTS

The Duke has hosted a good number of evenings that people are still talking about. Birthday dinners that turned into late nights. Work gatherings that felt nothing like work. Celebrations where the room felt exactly right.

If you're looking for somewhere with genuine character, not a hired function room, but a place with its own history and warmth, talk to us.

‘An event is not over until everyone is tired of talking about it.’

A few things people ask about events:

  • Every other Monday, 7.30pm (updates sent out by email). Teams of up to six, two pounds a head. Gary writes the questions. No booking, no phones, new teams welcome. It's what Monday evenings in a village pub are for.

  • Yes. We've hosted birthday dinners, anniversaries, Christmas parties, work gatherings and celebrations of most kinds. We can arrange a private table, a set menu or a section of the restaurant to yourselves depending on group size and the occasion. Email info@thedukeofwellingtoninn.co.uk or call 01661 844 446 and we'll take it from there.

  • Yes. Any amount, redeemable against food, drink and rooms. Email info@thedukeofwellingtoninn.co.uk and we'll usually have it sorted the same day. Some gifts are things. This one is a memory.

  • Every year. A seasonal menu through December built around the best the valley has at that time of year. Private dining available for groups. December fills quickly so it's worth getting in touch early. Call 01661 844 446 or email info@thedukeofwellingtoninn.co.uk.

  • Yes, though Christmas Lunch fills up quite early on in the year, so it's worth getting in touch early. Call 01661 844 446 or email info@thedukeofwellingtoninn.co.uk for availability.

  • For the restaurant, yes, especially at weekends. Call 01661 844 446 or book via OpenTable. For the bar, no booking needed. Just come in.
