Two hand pumps on, Harvey's Best in good order and the now obligatory Doom Bar!
This is a very nicely decorated "foodey" pub, with polite and not overbearing staff.
I've been a few times and the quality of the food is always excellent..... But beware the muddled portion sizes! Bread and olives, £5.95, for 4 x Rubic Cube chunks of bread with really just oil as the balsamic part doesn't want to come out of the jug isn't bad value to share. However £10.95 for the Croxton Cheese Soufle with celeriac and spiced pear salad. The Soufle tasted wonderful, but was starter sized, may be a table spoon of shredded celeriac and at the very most half a pear with a meagre sprinkling of salad leaves.
That said, given the quality of the food I will be back...

sometimes good sometime not so...... I thing they have changed the steaks as well ???

Visited this pub for the first time the other week and found it to be a wonderful experience, I will definitely be back soon.

Beer was Harveys Sussex and Sharps Doom Bar, both in decent condition, food was OK (Although minty mushy peas are just wrong). Fairly busy by the time we left about 8pm, possibly due to Olympics on the TV and the weather actually being decent, but not a bad place to go. We ate in the lounge bar sort of area but there is a restaurantry sort of area aswell.

Sorry to all those that have posted negative comments, this pub/Restaurant is a little gem with great food and fab staff. Yes it used to a Beefeater, well I would never have gone there when it was as we had so many bad experiences. The beer/cider is well kept and the food is to die for. We hated this place when it was a Beefeater so please try it out as an independent and see the change

Visited The Dukes Head Last week, used it once or twice when it was a Beefeater and back then it was... - well a Beefeater, they are what they are!! Now it is a private food pub serving what I thought was great pub food maybe even more like a restaurant now than a pub. Great service good food, I thought a good selection. Nice to have a menu without those bad photos of what your food wont look like!! Well explained enthusiastic staff, decent prices if the drinks are a little steep!! All in all a very good experience.

Tried this recently refurbished place as a Mother's Day venue. Wish I hadn't. The service was appalingly slow and confused (even taking into account the busy day). After ordering and consuming two glasses of 'house' white wine was promptly told they do not do a 'house' white wine! It is a bit too pretentious really. The menu was was too limited in choice and it seemed that there was garlic everywhere. Overpriced for what you get. Yorkshire puddings were terrible. Will not be returning.

Thank god its no longer a tierd boring Steak House!! Clean, fresh and above all inviting! The food is great, modern British food with a med twist. You can still get steak (If you want!) you can still take your kids (If they behave and dont run around like in most big steak house chains which make the whole experince awful) My kids loved that we could see the chefs cooking real food and putting it on our plates. Over all, well done to the team at The Dukes Head, a real pub with excellent beer & wine, excellent decor, excellent food and very attentive staff!! I have and will be back again & again & again.

For what it is, a Beefeater restaurant it's excellent. The beer is good, the food is good and the service is also good. I eat her on a fairly regular basis and would recommend it to anyone.
|
Still a very popular place but I would say it needs some stronger management to get it back up to what it was. I feel its getting a bit worn out and grubby in places.
|
Nice friendly Beefeater steak house with attentive staff. Steaks tend to be better when the pub is quieter as the chef can spend more time on your order.
Usual selection of good value wines correctly opened at the table.
|
great pub for lunch. Service very friendly and a choice of either bar food or eat in the more expensive restaurant. Good selection of wines.
