"We were disappointed that the Manager Hugh was not based in Ickham on the day we went there for lunch. Apparently, he has been transferred to try to improve standards at other pubs in the group that are not doing so well. One of the main reasons we go to the Duke William is for Hugh's warm welcome if he is not there, we may go elsewhere, as Hugh provides an exceptional dining experience. He always goes the extra mile! We love the ambiance at the Duke William that it's easy to park. The staff are generally polite and helpful. Lizzie was exceptionally friendly helpful, providing good service with a smile. Jenny is also amazing! Kind, friendly just adorable! The management of the Duke William is very fortunate to have staff like Hugh Jenny! To be honest, the main problem is the food, it is always so bland. I'm sure the chef has some tasty recipes up his sleeve, so why not give him free rein to provide food with flavour? There used to be an amazing vegetarian curry on the menu that we loved! Please bring it back! The decor village location are 1st class. However, I did notice that the floor and wall tiles in the ladies are in need of a deep clean. Ditto the seats at the window tables could do with a shampoo to remove stains. Maybe the cleaners have become complacent? We are very fond of the Duke William have been regular customers for over 20 years, so any criticism is intended to be helpful to raise standards."
