The Vancouver Suite seats up to 40 guests for an intimate ceremony. The suite is sleek and modern design with a few timeless pieces, such as the exquisite chandeliers. Our Nelson room is more traditional in style and can accommodate up to 60 of your closest friends and family. For a much larger affair, the Walpole Ballroom can hold 220 guest for your wedding celebrations.
At the Duke’s Head, we provide an outstanding quality of cuisine for your wedding breakfast. You can choose from our amazing range, or create your own menu. We aim to create a menu that reflects your individual tastes and we can even arrange a tasting session before the big day.

With fantastic lighting and sound equipment, they are there throughout the night to keep the party going. Our DJ is happy to take requests and will make sure that all your favourite and important songs are played from the first dance to the last.
When the evening’s festivities draw to a close, you can spend your first night of married life in the luxury of one of our beautiful Bridal Suites. For your guests looking to spend the night, we offer special rates for a range of fantastic rooms.

July 2024This was our first time staying in Kings Lynn for one night stay at the dukes Head hotel. We stayed in a classic room in the main hotel, room was nice, could do with a re paint but bed comfy, our room was room 2 which was a little noisy at night due to pub across but its expected when staying in the centre. The biggest plus of this Hotel is the experience we had the Staff are superb must be the best service we have ever had at a hotel honestly the manager and staff where great. We had an evening meal at the hotel which was spot on and breakfast was great eat as much as we wanted, quality food. I will 100% be coming again in the future.

August 2024My family are home from Canada for 2weeks, met up in the bar for food, booking was very flexibile as we had to change times due to train delays. Once we arrived, a guy called Ashley and another chap who I missed his name? in the bar they were so professional, polite, made us feel so at ease, looked after us all evening, plus food was great, made our experience of the Dukes one to remember. Thank you guys, keep it up, an asset to the Dukes Head.

August 2024Stayed in the Dukes Head for one night this week. It's a lovely hotel in the centre of town. Very well presented and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was decorated well and the bed was comfy. The only thing that let it down was the breakfast, instant coffee and soggy/chewy cooked breakfast. Overall excellent value for money though.

September 2024I stayed here over the August bank holiday weekend as I wanted to be in town to meet up with friends. Having lived in the area most of my life, I was very aware of the reputation for quality and service, the hang out of the rich and famous. So, I was looking forward to actually being a guest of the hotel myself. I've been here numerous times in the past for food, drinks, training, events, and works dinners. I was advised on arrival that it would be noisy due to a wedding in the function room, but to be fair, the only noise of note were room doors closing throughout the night. I have to say that although the place was clean and the staff were friendly I was disappointed with my room. The room was tired and battered, the extractor fan in the shower didn't work, and the plug didn't seal in the sink. The only way to keep water in the sink was to keep the tap running. I did notify reception, but repairs couldn't be made until after my stay, but at least now they were aware. I noticed that the room door didn't always shut securely behind me, so I ensured I checked each time. I was provided with towels, toiletries, ironing facilities, TV, and drinks making facilities. Very limited access to power sockets, none of which were near the bed. With this being a small double room, you could only access the bed from one side as expected. The hotel was convenient for my stay, but it wouldn't be on top of the list for another visit.

August 20241 star service at 5 star prices. The quality of the room and breakfast was very disappointing and well below the standard expected, especially for the high price charged (£180 per night). However, this disappointment paled into insignificance when there was a complete lack of water supply in the morning, and a failure of the staff to provide any apology, or the hotel management to provide any compensation (which is standard in the hospitality industry for a lack of such basic amenities). I will certainly not be returning.
