  Great parma in a great pub. Excellent choice of parma toppings for the Wednesday night special of which the choices are changed weekly, although you cant beat a traditional parma. ps is it just me or has anyone else noticed more and more pubs are serving their parmas minus the ham, an important ingredient in a parma, as without its just cheese on chicken.

  Parmaman reckons:

  Really solid parma, great amount of cheese, juicy chicken, top sauce, nice amount of chips and a really great salad that complimented the meal well. For $15 with a pot it was excellent. For a little extra we got a pint of Squire Golden Ale which they have on tap which made for an excellent combo. Looking forward to another Duke Parma.

  J_parms reckons:

  A very solid contributor. While not as showy as some of its parma counterparts, the Wednesday night "parmas of the world" special is very good. Been a few times and have never left feeling I haven't been nourished, and that is half the battle. Bonus point for the bread roll and butter.

  Amongst the hustle and bustle of the city lies this little gem of an establishment. The parmas of the world evening did not dissapoint with an additional bread roll which was highly appreciated. Definitely likely to become a regular on the parma rotation roster, nicely done.

  As a fan of parmas with your more exotic toppings, I was very impressed with what the Duke of Kent had to offer. On Wed they offer Parmas of the world, with the Mexican a definite highlight. For the price and quality this place is very hard to beat. Bonus point has been given for the complementary bread role w/ butter. You really don't see that enough any more. Note: Barry machine does not accept coins

  Scott reckons:

  Was expecting to get a Parma and Pot for $15 but the special doesn't run in December, very disappointed. The parma was great but the crumbing was burnt, it lacked a little sauce and the chips were un-seasoned. I'm deducting a point for the slow service, the place wasn't busy and not everyone has 2 hours for lunch. The staff were also very defensive about the lack of the special, which was off-putting.

  Chips were soggy from the salad dressing which cost them on quality. The parma wasn't as good as my previous visit.

  Popo the Monkey reckons:

  I disagree with most previous reviewers. Size of chicken was definitely average, or slightly below! Now that I've got that out of the way, I have to complement the chef on the parma. The chicken breast was tender, the crumbing excellent, sauce good, cheese good, and toppings yummy. I had the "American topping" and felt that it really added to the character of the parma. Loved the sausages, ham, cheese, chilli and sauce with a hint of chilli. Chips were pretty good, above average in taste, average portion. Salad consisted of rocket, tomatoes, cucumbers and small pieces of capsicum, with dressing. I cannot fault the size of the serving or the taste. Was a nice touch to have a fresh bread roll to start off the meal too. Excellent fast meal. We went at 5:15pm and parma was out within 15 minutes. Excellent! Will definately come back when I'm in a the mood for a great tasting parma, although not when I'm starving or craving a "decent sized" slab of meat.

  Scott reckons:

  Went on a Wednesday to take advantage of the 'World of Parmas' and had a Texan, which has extra sausage, bacon and salami. Another great parma! I thought the topping would be an overload but it was well balanced with the cheese and sauce, I couldn't flaw it. Parma size was great except the crumbing on the parma was almost non-existant in areas and the meat kind of fell apart occasionally, great if it was ribs, but not for a parma. The chips were a great cut and lightly salted, very nice. Salad was enjoyed by making use of the bread roll which the meal came with, which is where my bonus point comes from. Boags Draught was also $10 for a jug, a cheap and very satisfying meal.

  Just saw the duke of kent rated in the top 10 parma's in melbourne in the mx mag from melb central station, decided to walk down to latrobe street to visit the duke. Parma was awesome, great size, good amount of toppings, fresh crunchy chips served with a great side salad, well worth the visit

  Troutguy reckons:

  The chicken was well cooked whole chicken, not some mashed-up, pressed together nastiness. The chips were great, but bordering on being too thin for chips and entering the realm of fries. The salad had no dressing, which was refeshing, and the topping had a lot of flavour for once. A great parma by anyone's measure. They also have Little Creatures Ale on tap. Make this a long lunch
