| this pub is good, nice beers and nice food - nice sausages! A little bit too pricey for both food and beers. It has specific with clientele (office workers and university students/staff). The bar service would be better served if there are more barstaff as lunchtimes and early evenings tend to be very busy. Sometimes only one staff behind the bar and you could wait up to 10 minutes before being served. Nevertheless you will find this pub is high standard and you will enjoy drinking and eating there. chrishn - 15 Jun 2007 15:00 |
| Nice Beers and nice food - I recommend the sausages. Can get rather busy at lunch times. DH_PARKY - 21 Mar 2007 15:26 |
| I have just sampled the Master Brew and have found it to be of excellent quality. The Duke is once again, being used by many people during the lunch period. It's good to find the old place and Shep's excellent ales being cared for, as before. Cheers. JohnnyBGoode - 20 Jul 2005 15:26 |
| This is my response. Hi Geoff,Thank you for your reply. I am very pleased to hear that the high standards have been restored, at one of the best real ale houses, near to where I work. I have previously brought several friends along, on many occasions, to sample the best Shepherd Neame ales that they were likely to find in London. I can only assume that my suggestions to the bar staff, were followed up. As for the predecessors, I know them to be very professional and caring. I have no doubt that they would continue to be so, even when faced with the prospect of not having a job. Regards John Bell JohnnyBGoode - 19 Jul 2005 11:14 |
| I have just received this reply from Shepherd Neame. "As the Business Development Manager now responsible for the Duke of York,your e-mail was forwarded to me. After receiving it, I made an unannounced visit to the House to carry out a beer in glass audit and to check standards throughout. All beers, apart from being dispensed at a marginally high temperature, were inexcellent condition, scoring top marks for taste,aroma and clarity. The cellar was tidy, clean as was the trade area and bar servery, continuing the high standards set.I am surprised about comments regarding the treatment of the previous management, particularly as they have recently written to my predecessor thanking him for his understanding during their working relationship. I do hope that I have reassured you that standards and quality of offer will not drop and hope that you will continue to enjoy a good pint in a popular pub.
