The Dukes Head, Putney

Well done Youngs for completely ruining the atmosphere of this formerly friendly and traditional flagship pub. Looking at the comments below (high beer prices,rip-off food and inattentive staff)I am really glad to have decamped to the wonderful Bricklayers across the way. After being a Dukes Head regular for 13 years, I took one look at the decor, the punters (including a young mum with a buggy) the expresso machine , the lavish restaurant and vowed never to return. No problem with the No Smoking policy but why, when Putney is already riddled with bland pubcos and gastro bars, did Youngs have to put up two proverbial fingers to their loyal regulars ?
