Exceptional Service

Thank you to the Dukes Head for all that you did for our Wedding Day. Everyone provided exceptional service throughout the day to our guests. The staff made our venue very unique, to say the least. We would like to send a special thank you to the events team for all their extra hard work they put in and for being as accomodating as possible. All staff at the Dukes head provided an outstanding service to us and our guests so many thanks

Wedding Day saved by Dukes Head Hotel

This Hotel helped my new wife and myself have our very Special Day here, after having been let down by Bradleys Restaurant in Kings Lynn going to the wall, and not even advising us of their imminent closure, or return of our deposit cheque. The Manager and all the Staff helped us enjoy our Wedding Reception here on the 28th February 2013, they went out of their way to make our day truly a memorable one, and with special thanks to Hannah Valentine who was our Hostess and Banquting Manageress seeing us through what had been a very upsetting time prior to our Wedding Day. We were offerred the Main Dining Room in the Hotel for our exclusive use, which we took up the Hotel's offer of, and all of our Guests had a beautifully cooked and prepared and presented 4 Course Meal, with all of our drink requirements taken care of. Everyone present are still talking about our day at the Dukes Head, and we have since recommended another Couple who are getting Married, to look at Booking here, for their Wedding. We understand that they have since Booked up to have their Wedding here also. We both would like to commend the Manager and all of the Staff for providing us with a very Professionally presented Event, and one which we shall be eternally grateful. Thank you.

Wedding and overnight stay review:


What can we say, everything was perfect from the start of the wedding planning to the day after the wedding when we came home.
Everything we asked for we got, the service and all staff were brilliant, very friendly and professional.
The food was out of this world, delicious.
The whole hotel is beautiful, the ballroom, the bar, restaurants and the room we stayed in was stunning. Everywhere was very clean and tidy to.
It's in a great central location, but also nice and quiet.
Great value for money.
Would recommend it to anyone, whether you're getting married, having a couple of nights away or just a meal or drink.
5 stars for everything.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
