| Pretty much agree with the comments Freebornjack posted. I've visited on a quiet tuesday afternoon. The lady behind the bar was very friendly, I tried one of the 3 Pitfield organic beers. There was also a St Peters on tap as well. Lunch menu looked good but yes the prices are probably according to the neighbourhood and the organic bent of the place. Spacious open square 'pub' with tables outside. rob372 - 13 May 2009 07:34 |

| I have been to the Duke of Cambridge quite a few times now - sometimes for a drink, sometimes to eat. Although pricey I have enjoyed all my meals. Good and, well...organic! Staff have never been rude to me, though I will say they mostly seem too busy to be especially friendly. It is fun trying all the organic ales and ciders but it gets quite painful on the wallet so I never stay here for multiple drinks if I'm paying! To be honest I'm surprised by the overwhelmingly negative reviews being posted here. FreeBornJack - 1 Dec 2008 23:53 |
| Smug. Bland. And ridiculous. I went here for a friend's birthday on Friday and one of our party had baked a special birthday cake. But when they tried to bring it into the pub, they were barred. The reason was that as an organic pub, no non-organic food could be consumed on the premises (due to their organic certification). We countered that saying the cake hadn't been made in the pub kitchens, hadn't been sold by the pub and that their kitchen was closed anyway. But no. We then asked if we could at least cut the cake and sing happy birthday inside. But again no, non-organic food could not be cut or sung over on the premises. In the end, we had to go outside and serve the cake in the freezing cold and rain. Nice. Otherwise, the service was surly, the food overpriced, the atmosphere ordinary and the cider terrible. If you want a good, friendly pub that serves organic ales, go to the Charles Lamb down the road. It's excellent. mickeljakso - 3 Nov 2008 10:09 |
| 1. This place is a rip-off. The food was so expensive and not all that. 2. Most of the staff (a couple were nice) had a real stuck up attitude. Everything seemed a chore and there was no sense of them considering us as customers. 3. The "organic cola" I had was tiny and bland. The cider, wine and beer that others in my party was not very good by all accounts. 4. It's not a pub, it's an overpriced bar. All in all, a pretty poor experience. The rude service was the final nail in the coffin and I shall recommend my friends to avoid this pretentious "gastro-pub" like the plague. El_Nacnud - 5 Oct 2008 23:53 |
