The Dukes Head, Putney

Having been to the Dukes head a few times in the past I was looking forward to its refurbished interior.
And what an improvement it is, much cleaner, more open and generally less grotty than it was previously.
However I was less than impressed with the food. I ordered a burger (at something like �8) and it came with chips...6 to be exact. Yes thats right 6 chips. My friend who was with me had fish and chips and he got 7 chips! Don't get me wrong they were nice chips, but I expected a few more than 6, double figures would have been good. The burger was pretty small and luke warm too. The ceaser salad was 2 lettuce leaves with ceaser dressing. Considering it had just reopened I would have thought they would be trying harder....
Also the price of beer has rocketed. �2.70 for a pint of youngs, �3.40 for a stella and �4.00 for a kirin!!!
So as long as you don't eat there and you don't want to drink Kirin its really a nice pub.
