My husband, who is from England, and I went here for dinner tonight. Hadn't been here since we dated 30+ years ago. My husband ordered Scotch Eggs for an appetizer and I had never had them before and they sounded gross, LOL But to my surprise the scotch eggs were delicious!!! Then for our dinner, I ordered the 8 oz Prime Rib with baked potato and vegetables and my husband had the Cornish Pasty with fries. I had a bite of his cornish pasty and it was delicious! I ordered the prime rib dinner it was a total disaster. Prime rib was overcooked, tough, and dry, veggies were lukewarm at best and the baked potato was not fully cooked and had a rotten spot inside that they just ignored, and it was supposed to come with a Yorkshire pudding. No gravy or au jus served with the dry meat or Yorkshire pudding. Veggies were lukewarm at best. The baked potato was lukewarm too. When I complained they offered to bring me a new dinner and what I got was a rarer prime rib, which was better but still tough and still not great, and sort of warmer veggies but still not hot enough to melt butter on them and BOTH the baked potatoes had a black/rotten spot in the middle, which they should have noticed when they cut it. The first one I dug out and tired to eat it, although it wasn't completely cooked. By then I was really hungry. And still, no gravy or au jus for the Yorkshire pudding but some kind of gravy-type stuff with a layer of dried skin on the top which was supposed to be for the meat as they forgot to give me a new Yorkshire pudding all together. I asked where the Yorkshire pudding was and they brought me a burnt one, LOL Pretty bad. If this place is still owned by English owners I think they need to take another look at the food they are serving and bring up their standards??? Would love to hear from them.

Not really a pub atmosphere - more of a sports bar in costume since American football was on the TV. The decor and seating is quite pub-like.Horrible food, even the Shepard's pie which lacked flavor. I shudder to think what the prime rib or beef Wellington taste like. Chips were soggy.They don't have Pimm's. I won't be back.

We had the Beef Wellington and the Prime Rib; it was good and yes, I do recommend for the food! The interior and furnishings were old and needed to be replaced. Cushion on booth seats was too worn and lumpy service was good and attentive

Our waitress was drunk (literally). Drinks took forever to get refilled. One of our buddies had his order skipped and when it came (he ordered a shepherds pie) it ended up being a cottage pie (beef) with no crispy top (you know, one of the hallmarks of a shepherds pie).His meal and mine were both VERY salty. The dessert was nice, but seemed like they made a big batch and froze it in portions. My other friends mentioned that the drinks were fine.The atmosphere had a very 80s diner/pub feel...a bit dark, but the regulars seemed to get along fine. Parking lot was dark and very sketchy though. The floor was sticky and so were the tables.
I've been to The Duke many times. I've never had a bad experience. The food is good, the staff are friendly, and it has a great atmosphere. I recommend the prime rib.

While on our way to an event in Sunnyvale, my friend and I decided to look for a place to have a drink using Google Maps. That's when we stumbled upon the Duke of Edinburgh. Once we walked in, we were immediately drawn to the inviting and authentic English pub vibe. The red vinyl booths and cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home. We took a seat at the bar, and despite there being only one bartender, he worked hard to give us great drinks and quick service. Although I didn't look closely at the menu, I made a mental note to keep this place in mind the next time I'm in Sunnyvale because I would like to try their food.
