| Nice enough layout, liked the booths for sitting and eating/drinking in. Not a great choice of ales/lagers but could live with that. Biggest problem at the Duke is the food. Nice selection on the menu but when the food arrived, it was very salty and we felt a bit sore with the price we paid for that standard of meal. Very limited snacks menu. Friendly service but left early after blowing more money than we initially wanted to on a very poor quality meal. Danielson - 20 Apr 2008 12:02 |
| Food - orientated pub in a quiet Bloomsbury side street, but signposted from Guilford Street. Retains many original Art Deco fixtures - and is worth visiting ( probably just the once ) for that alone - but this is not a beer drinkers pub and neither the Adnams Broadside nor the Greene King IPA ( its only 2 real ales apparently ) were available yesterday lunchtime. I have not sampled the food - but it's pricey JohnBonser - 25 Feb 2008 13:37 |
| I booked at table at this pub for a work Christmas lunch. We had to pre-order the food and I wasn't expecting too much as you do at this time of the year. However the reception we got was fantastic, the food was superb and the service was excellent. The wine list was not extensive but we got a few good bottles to go with the meal. It was a really lovely little pub with a nice atmosphere and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. I'm looking forward to returning. mulled - 7 Dec 2007 14:17 |
| Shocking. On a recent visit, we turned up with 30 people with the intention of spending literally hundreds of pounds - at 4pm. The owner berated us for not warning him and told us that the tables were "booked" from 6. So, with two hours to go, you wouldn't think this was a problem - but oh no. We were treated to utterly vile service and looked down upon in every way. A shameful place that should be wiped off the map. Avoid. BoehmBawerk - 10 Aug 2007 16:47 |
| For years this was a great little pub with a nice line in food. The downsides were that the staff were not always friendly, though this has been remedied recently. Unfortunately these days it breaks another of the golden rules of pubs in becoming a pub that is actually a restaurant. As such, mere drinkers can feel like we're in the way. I'd recommend it for a lunch if you're not paying as the food is very good indeed. Gerschenkron - 27 Mar 2007 16:41 |
