visited today - good pint of pride...it is a triumph for all concerned that this has remained a traditional london pub

Seven months down the line and it appears the pub is settling down into a really nice proper boozer. The newest guvnor has settled in nicely and looks like he is here for the long term, always friendly and open to ides. Drinks are fine (even the real ales so I am told), Sunday roasts have sold out for the past two weeks and other food also available towards the end of the week. One customer who asked for food on Monday was told that the kitchen was closed but the accepted the offer of a toasted cheese sandwich! not something Woody would have done. Definately worth a visit when in Hampstead.

I tend to agree with biertrinker. I used to visit the Duke in it's previous life and quite enjoyed its uncompromising grumpy charm. It now feels a bit tacky and directionless - like a theme pub in search of a theme.
Come back, Woody, all is forgiven...

The first thing to say is that the new management of this pub, under The Cock (!), is still keeping an excellent cellar to high standard, though the number of guest ales has reduced from four to two. Sadly the rest of the recent story is not so encouraging and there are signs of an increasingly unhappy atmosphere. In the short five months of The Cock's reign, the original very pleasant manager has left, as has the chef (not replaced, so very little food now), two long standing bar staff and now the replacement manager. Staff turnover is on the high side. The pub is seldom as busy as it was under the old regime, partly due, perhaps, to The Cock's insistence that there be unsuitable recorded pop music played, often on the loud side. The pub looks good in its new dark red livery, but very little welcoming atmosphere is created by the management.

As mentioned previously, the only proper pub left in Hampstead village. I was in there on a midweek afternoon on 23 June and was served by a beautiful French girl who was lovely and knew all about the beer. Obviously I love her, but I digress...support this pub otherwise it will be converted to flats or worse, it could end up on its knees like the Polar Bear down the road and that would be tragic.
