Beer is a bit pricey but its a nice enough place and easy to get served even though it is quite busy. Had a pint of Winter Warmer which is one of the better Youngs beers.

Young's has ceased to be interested in decent pubs: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23976742-youngs-quits-brewing-to-focus-on-its-pubs.do. Welcoe to the bland world of leisure companies. Expect the Duke's Head to become a cafe very soon. Or even more of a poor but massively overpriced restaurant than it is now.

Well i disagree with all the comments below; as a new resident of Putney, i frequent the Duke's Head and have the most welcoming time and the staff are always very friendly. the food in the dining room tastes as fresh as it should and is equally priced to pubs in Putney.

The staff have a terrible attitude and treat you like an annoyance to be ignored (at the bar), insulted (if you approach them with a problem as I did last time) and ripped off (with absurd prices for food and beer).

This pub feels more like a tourist trap - perhaps it is, it has a fantastic location on the river which guarantees lots of passing trade, so they've never had to bother being anything but surly and uninterested in their poor customers.

There are nicer pubs in the area who deserve your hard earned cash far more than the Duke's Head.

I have been popping in here more often of late, as it ties in nicely with a walk to try and calm down a newborn in the early evenings, and gives me a chance to slip in a couple of cheekies before returning home.

Experience tends to be variable - this is a fairly unique pub in that it is constantly finding new ways in trying to not take your custom.

When it's quiet, the bar staff tend to hide around corners, take a couple of minutes to notice you, and then not even a hint of an apology for leaving the entire (sizable) bar unstaffed.
When it's busy, expect a long wait to get served as the 2 or 3 people serving try and cope with thirsty punters.

Add to that astronomical prices for beer (most , if not all, lagers over £4 a pint) and you can see why the Bricklayers, Half Moon and even the Star & Garter will continue to poach much of their passing trade.

Shame, as it could be incredible given it's location.
