The Dukes Head, Wallington

A Youngs Pub/hotel.
Good restaurant serving good reasonably priced meals. Food seems to be available all day and evening. Chefs know what they are doing. Sunday carvery is very good indeed.
Excellent waiting staff, friendly and helpful.
You wont get a better pint of Youngs bitter anywhere else in the area, always in good condition. (The manager drinks it himself - I like to see that.)
Locals very friendly and will always chat to you, but dont mention boilers to the old geezer with glasses who's got a face that looks like a well tended gravestone, he'll bore you to death.
Staff great, even the acid tongued haggis bashing Scottish bird behind the bar. Just buy her a pint, that seems to shut her up.
The managers are great and will actually talk to you and maybe even buy you a pint.
In short, a well run place serving excellent booze and good food. Well worth a visit in my opinion.
I'll book myself into the hotel sometime and see what that's like. Watch this space.
