We have dined at the Duke of York pub a few times as a family; in fact it is where we nornally go for dinner when visiting the town. I have always found the food to be of an excellent standard and great value, with a good selection on the menu, as well as a children's menu. However the last time we went there I was a little bit put-off! We visited this past summer and we had our baby son with us, who at the time was about five months old. We walked in with the baby in the buggy and were told that we couldn't bring the buggy in as it could be a fire hazard. I've never come across this one before, and it made us all wonder whether they would have the same attitude to wheelchair users! I explained to the waitress that we would therefore be needing a highchair in which to feed my son, so she duly went off to get one. What she came back with looked like something from the Dark Ages! It was one of those seats that you strap baby into which then attaches to a chair. However it was made of wood and looked very uncomfortable, not that it mattered anyway as my son couldn't keep his balance in it. We ended up with one of us holding him on our knee while the other fed him, which made it quite difficult to enjoy our meal! There were also no baby change facilities in the toilets, which i don't think is great for what's supposed to be a family pub (to be fair this has been the case in most other places we've visited with the baby).
I would strongly recommend the Duke of York for a pub lunch, but not if you have small children who need high chairs!
