| I try to visit Whitstable about once a year. A friend took me to the Duke on a Friday lunchtime in January. There was a really good trad jazz band playing to an appreciative audience, mainly on the elderly side. We stayed to hear a few tunes and sink a couple of pints before moving on to the Royal Naval Reserve which is close by. I didn't think the beer prices were too out of line, unlike some other reviewers -- but certainly not 'cheap'. A pleasant enough Victorian-style pub but not exactly 'cozy'. pixandwords - 27 May 2011 21:36 |
| The Duke seems to be empty more than it should be for a town centre pub which may suggest it's not getting everything right. It's not particularly friendly which is not uncommon with pubs with good locations as they can get presumptious. terenced - 14 Apr 2011 09:21 |
| I don't know what this place is like in the evenings but I went in around 5pm and it was pretty quiet. A large place with comfy chairs it reminded me of some of the London pubs I've visited over the years. This image was enhanced by the prices of the beer which were comparable to certain areas of the capital! Never been a great Sheps fan at any price. There are better places to go in Whitstable. outtamehead - 19 Nov 2010 11:43 |
| I visited this pub and was outraged to be charged £3.45 for a pint of bog-standard Sheps bitter. However when I mentioned this to the young man behind the bar he fixed with a steely glare and said: And you too will learn to live the lie Aggression Competition Ambition Consumer fascism Capitalism is the most barbaric of all religions Department stores are our new cathedrals Our cars are martyrs to the cause We are all prostitutes Our children shall rise up against us Because we are the ones to blame We are the ones to blame They will give us a new name We shall be Hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites WHAT CAN IT ALL POSSIBLY MEAN?

| Not much atmosphere when we visited, a few rather odd characters dotted here and there. Glass of cava for the Mrs was reasonable-ish at £3, but £3.45 for a pint of Shep? Christ on a bike. I'm always sympathetic with small backstreet boozers having to up the stakes, but this is a big pub/hotel in the centre of town that should really know better. It was a nice pint (Whitstable Bay), but I shant be going back in a hurry. PMA - 21 Sep 2010 09:16 |
