Dukes Head - Test Valley

This review is for the pub and not the hotel. I went for Sunday lunch on 15 September with 20 others and I I can honestly say I had one of the best pub lunches ever. I had sea bass with Elton Mess to follow. Both absolutely delicious and lots of lovely vegetables too. The young ladies who looked after us (mainly elderly ……US NOT the young ladies!!!! were so kind, pleasant and helpful. The food and wine were a bit on the expensive side but well worth it. I mean to take my family for a pub lunch soon and The Duke will be top of the list! One small query is the vegan option but we’ll check the menu before we book. Many thanks

Popped in (to see how the Duke pub has improved) and were not disappointed! A new extention has seen a new restaurant area, and generally the whole pub is much more airey light. We will definitely be back to sample the food, alas we didn't have the time on this visit.

Had a drink was a lovely pub and at the back is a river to walk down its amazing views

Couldn't even get a parking space in the car park to fulfil our table booking for my 41st very disappointed.

Visited on 11/08/24. We’ve eaten in the evening here a few times and the food was very nice. So thought we’d breakfast a go. However the quality of the evening food does emulate that of the breakfast. We waited 30 mins to start with and when it arrived well, it was awful. We did try and eat it but the standard was terrible. At £15 for a breakfast, not happy. How the chef could put that on a plate and b happy with it is beyond belief. It was a basic breakfast you get at a very low end cafe. The quality was appalling, I won’t go into detail, but the only edible thing was the toast, even the butter was frozen. The manager offered to replace it but we were so annoyed with the wait we just said no and left. I think I was more annoyed that they tried to palm this off on us. We went into Romsey to the Cork and Bean and had a fabulous meal. I won’t be eating here again.
