Andy & Lyn welcome you to The Duke at Bratton
History
The Duke at Bratton is a traditional country pub that dates back
to the 18th Century. Formerly 3 cottages, it was at some unknown
date converted into a public house with outside tea rooms and was
named The Duke William.
The Church apparently owned the Duke William, for how long is unknown,
but they then went on to sell it in 1888.
One of the many features of this quaint pub is a pair of whale
jaw bones which were present at the time of the old tea rooms. These
were misplaced for many years but were rediscovered and erected
over the garden gate in April 1995.
The Beer Garden
The Duke is situated just outside Westbury in the beautiful countryside
village of Bratton. We are a Moles pub and can therefore offer their
real ales that are brewed in Melksham. We have extensive beer gardens
where families and their dogs are more than welcome. From there
you will see one of the villages most unusual features, a pair of
giant whale bones over the garden gate. These were once erected
at the turn of the century in the Duke's tea garden and were returned
in April 1995! Why not try our menu? Our food is freshly prepared
using local produce.
