After four long years of closure, The Duke has thrown open its doors once more – welcoming locals and visitors alike back into its warm embrace. With a proud history rooted deep in the heart of Burbage in Buxton, this much-loved pub has undergone a £240,000 refurbishment that has breathed new life into a local landmark.
Now under the care of Rebecca and Dan Higgins, The Duke aims to reclaim its place as the beating heart of the community – somewhere everyone feels right at home.
