THE DUCHESS

The Duchess is a classic London pub where sophistication meets casual dining. With its charming layout and beautiful exterior, it’s the kind of place you can bring a date — or just a group of friends to enjoy a pint. The reviews rave about the food, with many enjoying a proper scotch egg or a memorable roast, thanks to staff like Toya who know their way around good service.

But not everything sparkles. With mixed feelings about the service during busy times, especially from Dave’s experience, this pub seems to have an identity crisis — classy but casual, attentive yet occasionally a bit frosty. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area, just don’t come with the expectation of perfection.
