Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Duke of Wellington is a destination food pub which also enjoys a good local wet trade due to its selection of cask ales. Well known for its home cooked, seasonal food offer and regularly changing menu, this is an excellent opportunity for a chef to take on a pub with a great reputation for food. The local and tourist trade of East Keswick and the surrounding villages mean there is plenty of demand for this offer.

Surrounding Area

East Keswick is an affluent village at the heart of the so-called golden triangle of Wetherby, Harrogate and Leeds. The village can be accessed via the Harewood Road from Collingham. It is a quiet conservation area with its own Wildlife Trust and many pleasant walks that are enjoyed by both villagers and tourists. There is one other pub in the village which is predominantly wet led so there is no direct competition and the two serve the village quite well and act as a hub for the local community to socialise.
