"This 17th-century Cotswolds coaching inn appears from the road like a Pimm’s-sponsored mirage—all red and white-striped parasols on a sprawling lawn, which is populated with chinos and golden retrievers. Come to this Clanfield pub for breakfast. It's served in The Double Red Duke’s garden room and eating in here is like being tucked inside a velvet jewellery box. Green juices and bloody marys are dispatched to groups reclining on emerald sofas and regal, jade banquettes. The food won’t blow you away, but we always feel very special eating a picture-perfect full English in this glamorous room. " - sinead cranna

Visited this place for the 1st time during a mini break to the Cotswolds and just WOW. We’ve eaten in quite a lot of steak places and this is up there. As a coeliac, I find steak an easy option as it’s naturally gluten free (and delicious!). The menu isn’t marked with gluten free options but our waitress was really knowledgable and specifically asked me if I was gluten free or coeliac so clearly understood the difference. ||There were plenty of suitable starter options on the menu for me as they could adapt dishes accordingly. The portahouse steak was divine. 1kg includes the bone and there is a large volume of meat to share so go easy on the starters! Cooked to perfection. There were plenty of desserts to choose from too. Lovely places in a beautiful setting, great staff and more importantly fantastic food.

First time visiting the Double Red Duke and it won’t be the last. Firstly, the building looks wonderful with a great outdoor seating area and that lovely old Cotswold charm with great interior finishes. The one downside is the car park it’s very tiny and when people have very large SUVs you can only get a few cars in. You can park further down the road but it’s on a residential street so be really careful not to block anyone in. Sunday lunch it’s a staple that’s very easy to get wrong. Not so at the double red Duke. The beef was absolutely superb it was just the right amount of trimmings everything was done on the charcoal grill and you could taste the difference. My wife had the pork which had the most fabulous pork scratchings. The home-made horseradish sauce was also a nice accompaniment. For us we thought there was just the right mix of everything on the plate and I wouldn’t have asked for any more. Desserts well you’ve gotta have the sticky toffee pudding and it was an absolute banger. Great selections of wines and beers including a couple of 0% on draft which was a great to see. Definitely a place to go in the amazing Sunday lunch category in our notebook.

The most amazing dinner at The Double Red Duke last night. The food was exceptional, made extra special being seated at the kitchen counter and being talked through the food and served from the kitchen to the counter by the chefs. The staff were incredible, they recommended food and wine, were so friendly and kind as well as extremely attentive and professional. The overall experience was one of the best I have ever had and I can’t wait to go back and would recommend to anyone. Thank you The Double Red Duke for also going the extra mile to make my boyfriends 30th so special with a happy birthday dessert. 10/10 recommend! This place is amazing!

Once regarded as a jewel in the Cotswolds' culinary crown, The Double Red Duke now appears to be losing its former lustre. As a long-time patron who has dined here on more than eight occasions—and consistently praised both the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the service—it's disappointing to say that my recent experience has left me reluctant to return.||On Friday, 27th June 2025, I visited the restaurant with high expectations, particularly looking forward to satisfying a well-earned steak craving. Regrettably, the £110 T-bone was underwhelming in flavour. Rather than allowing the natural richness of the meat to shine through, it was overwhelmed by a seasoning reminiscent of prepackaged “Shake and Bake”—a heavy-handed approach that masked, rather than enhanced, the steak’s character. ||While I am not inclined to cause a scene in the moment, I do feel compelled to share this feedback publicly to inform fellow diners.

Had dinner here on a weekday, service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Beautiful property and really tasteful garden area. We had rotisserie chicken, steak and chocolate cake, all delicious. We would come again next time we’re in the Cotswolds and would be lovely to stay as well.

I had the most amazing birthday dinner last April thanks to The Double Red Duke! From start to finish, the experience was truly magical. The hostess was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome the moment we arrived. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and struck the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. The food? Spectacular! Every dish was unique and full of flavor—clearly crafted with care and creativity. We were seated beside a cozy wood-fired hearth, with spring flowers blooming just outside the windows. It was my first time visiting the Cotswolds, and I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable introduction. A delicious evening and an unforgettable birthday. Thank you, Double Red Duke, for making it so special!

Simply Amazing!!!|Absolutely stunning property set in the picturesque area. Easy check in process, room was ready on time, room was large, naturally light and beautifully overlooking the garden. The all round service from check in, dinner and breakfast was just great, made even more special by the lovely attentive staff. Dinner was amazing, the Rotisserie lemon butter chicken with Aeoli butter was like nothing I have tasted before, succulent and butter like, the harrisa brocoli was a nice side dish and the White Pork with anchovy was like heaven.|Breakfast was just as delicious too, great options of cold and hot dishes. The Baked Eggs shakshuka just perfect and you just have to have the Full English. Definitely made my birthday celebrations special😁.

My husband and I stayed at the Double Red Duke on my birthday and had a meal in the garden room. The entire stay was perfect from start to finish. I would like to particularly thank the member of the reception team who was on duty (I’m sorry I didn’t ask her name) but she was kind enough to help carry my luggage into the property and then offered us a much appreciated upgrade on our room. I was also given a lovely plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it - alongside some bonus fudge! - as part of my dessert. All in all a fantastic place to stay and eat and I will be recommending very highly to my friends and family. Hope to visit ourselves in the future too!
