A great family run country pub with friendly staff and accommodating publicans. Good beer and honest pub grub. I can't understand some of the comments on here, as I have used the pub numerous times and have never seen anyone unhappy. The Dukes Head is the heart of the village, with pool teams, dart teams, quiz and crib teams too. Just a great place to meet up.

Met a friend there for a drink. We sat down and had a smoke outside because it clearly stated "No Smoking" inside.
By the time we had smoked out cigarettes we where harassed by the Manager several times. We ended up feeling unwelcome.
My friend quickly went in for the drinks we drank them and made our way back home.

We will not be returning. The managers attitude leaves a lot to be desired.

On a plus side the price of the drinks where fair and the bar staff where friendly.

We didn't even get to try the pub! HIKERS STEAR CLEAR!!!
We had planned to get to the Dukes Head for lunch at 12:30 as we were walking the last stetch of the Greensand Way and would finish at the Dukes Head for lunch. We parked in the totally empty carpark at 9:30 am and waited for our taxi to take us to the start of our walk. The pub was still all locked up!! Therefore no-one to ask.
As we were leaving a very irate and rude man came out of the Dukes Head and told us we couldn't park there. We explained that we were coming to lunch but he rudely told us we had to park elsewhere! And was unpleasantly unhelpful about other suggested parking.
So when we finished the last place on earth we would visit was HIS PUB!!
It is the only time since we have been in Britain and doing these trails that any pub has not wanted us to park in their parking lot. We obviously always give the pub our custom. SO BE WARNED, NOT A NICE PLACE!!!!

I have to disagree with some of the earlier comments, the Dukes Head is a nice, friendly village pub thats well worth a visit.

It makes an excellent base for walkers and cyclists alike, and is a great place to sit and enjoy the village in the early evening.

The staff are pleasent, the food is great and it seems the "foul mouthed guys" have moved on.

My wife and I rode our bikes from Hythe with the intention of reaching Appledore but instead we found ourselves here. At 2pm on a weekday, there were perhaps five customers so deadly quiet. The Adnams Broadside was excellent and we shared Coronation Chicken sandwiches with real chunky chips. The food was really reasonably priced. A really nice stop during out twenty mile ride.
