About The Duke of Dural
The Duke of Dural is a local pub on Kenthurst Road in Dural, serving the Hills District with live sport, live acoustic music and a menu built around dry-aged steaks cooked in a Josper charcoal oven. It takes bookings for birthdays, engagements, corporate gatherings and other private events. There are three function areas. The Bistro is an open-plan dining space seating 68, and its furniture can be cleared for a cocktail party of up to 80. The Courtyard, the pub's beer garden, has its own entrance, high and low tables, TVs and a semi-retractable roof, holding 40 seated or 60 standing. For something smaller, the Private Dining Room seats 12 with access to a TV. Each booking runs for four hours, and staying longer can change the minimum spend. Food is served as shared banquets at $55, $75 or $95 per person, each with a $15 dessert platter upgrade. Canapé platters of 20 pieces cost $80 or $100, and grazing platters range from cheese and antipasto boards to a tomahawk steak platter. Drinks packages run for 1.5, 3 or 4 hours at standard or premium level, and a cocktail can be added per person. Hosts can also set up a bar tab or let guests buy their own drinks, and the pub can organise a DJ at extra cost. Send an enquiry to book and the functions team will follow up.
