About Duke's Head
Laid-back pub with outdoor seating & River Thames views, plus Sunday roasts & regular quiz nights.
Dating from 1864, with 1894 fittings, this Grade II listed pub is on the CAMRA London Regional Inventory of Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest. Reopened after refurbishment in October 2006 as Young's first smoke-free pub, it now has drinking areas and a dining room on the ground floor, a basement cocktail bar (The Rowing Club) and an upstairs function room seating 40. The overall feel is one of elegance and luxury, with leaves the main motif. Food available all day but you are advised to book for Sunday lunch.

A great find we came upon as we walked along the river. We had a fabulous table inside that looked out onto the river. Fabulous view. I ordered fish and chips; portion was huge and the chips delicious. My husband loved the haddock fishcakes. Highly recommend!

Great coffee. Brunch exceeded our expectations. Fab old style London pub. Went here for pre dinner cocktails slash drinks too, on a different day. They make a great Espresso Martini, so 10/10 from me. Great Thameside location, perfect destination if heading out from the city on the Uber Thames Clipper…. Stop is a stones throw away.

We had the most delicious Sunday lunch here! The waitress Kayla was absolutely amazing, so attentive to us and one of our allergies, really went above and beyond to make sure we were covered. Such a great meal and the restaurant is beautiful!

As always, The Duke's Head is the perfect place for lunch! Love sitting looking at the river and the dining room is so lovely. They have a new menu with many more vegan options which is fantastic for me. We both had the Oyster Mushroom and Leek Pie, with Mash and Broccoli and it was absolutely superb. My friend who isn't vegan loved it too! Our waitress was Lucita and she was friendly, very helpful, bright and bubbly - an absolute joy. Always look forward to my next visit!!

As newlyweds we would like to say a massive thank you to Reece and all his brilliant staff for hosting our wedding breakfast and evening reception. The food is excellent and our party of 40 were well looked after. Our wedding breakfast took place in the newly decorated Wolsey room at the top. An excellent venue for our group of 40. Our evening reception took place downstairs in the rowing club. A top venue for our additional evening guests that opens up onto the embankment. A great place for a private function. Definately worth a look for your wedding celebrations.
