The Duke of Cleveland is situated on the Headland in Hartlepool, just a short distance from the coast and next to St Hilda's Church. It is a listed building and the oldest one still in use in the town. Our establishment is a restaurant and pub with an excellent reputation for serving traditional homemade British dishes. We take pride in sourcing produce from local businesses as much as possible and use these ingredients to create the best dishes for our patrons. Our signature dishes include Haddock in our special beer batter with hand-cut chips and the local speciality, the chicken parmesan. We believe in keeping things simple and making them well. On Sundays, we offer a traditional roast dinner with a choice of Roast Rib of Beef, Loin of Pork, Breast of Chicken or Lamb Shank.

The Duke of Cleveland is the ideal venue for weddings and other special occasions or events. It has a choice of function rooms suited to your requirements. In the summer months, we open our cosy bear garden.

Excellent Sunday lunch, generous portions and lots of meat, all freshly cooked. Even the children’s portions for our granddaughters were substantial. All in all it was a lovely lunch for us all. Special mention to Angela who always looks after us.

We had an early dinner, so the restaurant was not busy. The service was very friendly and attentive and the venue was spotless. The food was very well presented and there was loads of food which I really enjoyed, though I struggled to eat it all. I had an enormous chicken Parmesan with stilton cheese and mushrooms. My wife had the beef pie. We will definitely return to the venue as we had a lovely time.
