The Duke Of Gloucester

Head down to Beswick Drive and you'll find yourself in exactly the kind of pub that makes Crewe tick. The Duke isn't trying to be anything it's not—it's a proper neighbourhood spot where regulars know the bar staff by name and the Sunday roast actually means something. The place has that lived-in comfort of somewhere that's been pulling pints for decades, with enough character in its corners to make an evening feel like time well spent. You're looking at solid food without the faffing about, decent enough ales, and a crowd that ranges from after-work crowd to families making it a proper community hub.
