The Dukes Head

Went there for Halloween after party, staff and customers pleasant. Only trouble was there was an excellent DJ sadly in competition with 2 very large screen TVs showing boxing. Not sure if it was pub/club or sports bar. Bit run down but lovely paper on toilet doors. Music was delightful. DJ played requests as another one set up. Eclectic ethnic music.. Shame more people did not dance. Casual dress advised.

Went for a drink with a date. The sofa we ended up sitting on was initially being used by a family with two toddlers so I imagine it’s kid friendly. Capacity was probably 5% but the vibes were still great. We loved how versatile the seating was. Sofas, chairs and tables, corner sofas, benches outside. Music and ambience was good. Would definitely go back.

So there’s a new food menu at the Duke!!!! I went to the duke today for some lunch and I was thoroughly impressed! I was told that today a new menu was introduced and I must say this is far from pub grub more like fine dining, in a pub we had the buffalo wings, Korean wings and scallops😫 they was all amazing! We ordered a jug of passion fruit martini which was excellently crafted by the knowledgable bartender. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed and the service matched the food and drinks. After paying the very small bill, considering the food was equal to restaurants we’d eaten from up town we was extremely happy and will be returning! Thank you the duke e17!!

Friendly family pub recently been taken over so think has many new changes happening went in for a soft drink and snack was impressed it was hot so was quite has a bee garden and lounge outside as well as eating area and that’s all I could see as it was around 2.30pm that I went in on a Wednesday staff friendly that’s all I could say well worth a visit.

Visited in the early afternoon on a Sunday in early October. Had a very nice lunch here. Big seating areas indoors and out. Lots of families here for the lunch. Nice food options, all the classics. We had a roast and fish and chips. Both tasty, uncomplicated, good value. Friendly staff. The beer selection was a bit poor, sadly, very little in the way of independent breweries. We had a good experience overall and would happily return.
