The pub has just changed management but remains otherwise unaltered. The live jazz sessions, temporarily suspended, are due to resume from around 13/01/2008. Greene King IPA is available, and it is hoped (by the pub) that Fuller's London Pride will return soon.

Jazz very good, Holly Roberts on piano (from Wenlock). We could do with an upgrade of the real ale - how about a beer from any of the breweries listed below:

Dark Star (HopHead would be ideal!!)
Crouch Vale
Harveys
Grand Union
Mighty Oak
Hopback
Milton
Castle Rock
Nottingham
Woodfordes
Pictish
Phoenix
Kelham Island

Good choice there - at least one must be on the wholesalers' list!

I commend the new management and what they have done so far - excellent. I live round the corner from this pub and would visit regularly if there were one or two interesting real ales on. (I regularly visit the Wenlock for Holly's Saturday gigs and the range of beers, for example).

Keep up the good work.

Wow! What a difference. The jazz night was fantastic and the owner has some pair of lungs! I had a couple of pints of Greene King IPA and it was in marvellous condition. The place was nice inside, although, I hear it is scheduled for a major renovation. The clientele were friendly and the jazz was outstanding. Keep up the good work. The new management has made this pub is a really great addition to the neighborhood. Can't wait to go back.

I am the new licensee of the Duke. We have taken the comments on here very seriously and are working to change the reputation of the pub.
Since taking over, we have updated the drinks portfolio, introduced cask ales, created a new homemade food menu which is running at weekends and we will be introducing during the week in June.
We also run jazz nights on Wednesdays and Sundays which is going down extremely well (where you can also hear me sing!)
I am really happy with our team who have worked to keep our loyal local trade, whilst taking a zero tolerance approach to drugs and any other trouble.
We have had some great feedback on what we have done so far and I thank those of you who have supported us. We are due a substantial refurbishment in the Autumn and I would welcome your comments on what you would like to see in this pub.
Please make yourself known if you come in. I look forward to meeting you. Louise Duncan

This used to be a great pub in the 90s. I spent the majority of my formative years inside it.

The less said about the madness that was the Platinum Bar the better I think.

Have been back in recently now that it is The Duke again and sure enough there were two of my old friends in there. The pool table is back in its rightful position too. Having said that, there is something missing, perhaps its Norman.
