The Duke of Sussex in Lambeth

Nice enough pub if you are near Waterloo. Quite expensive. £19 for a burger. £7 a pint. Not loads of inside. However we say outside and it was a good atmosphere.

A Delightful Dining Experience: Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Duke of Sussex, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted warmly by the staff, creating an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. The menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a delightful variety of dishes to suit all tastes. I opted for the Duck pie, and it was simply exquisite. The flavours were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was a feast for the eyes. It’s evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft, using fresh, high-quality ingredients to deliver an exceptional dining experience. The service was impeccable throughout the evening—attentive but never intrusive. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that every detail of our meal was spot on. The ambiance added to the overall charm of the restaurant. Whether it’s a casual meal or a special occasion, the setting feels intimate and comfortable, with just the right touch of sophistication. In summary, Duke of Sussex is a true gem. It’s rare to find a place that combines outstanding food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere so effortlessly. I’ll definitely be returning soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

This was a really vibrant pub, and we were surprised by how busy it was on a Sunday night! The 1664 Blanc was a real pleasant surprise - very enjoyable. Came here for a quick pint and were not left disappointed! £20 for a pint and a double Bailey’s did leave me feeling a bit robbed though.

A wonderful pub! Food was incredible! Staff were very friendly! Service was great! Highly recommend!

Very strange customer service from the manager Marius. Got annoyed with us when he forgot our drinks order, and then squaring up for an argument when the kitchen forgot to heat up some of the food. Not a great Christmas meal

This was a group dinner for about 12 people, something some restaurants struggle to cater for. We were asked to pre order and the food arrived on time and the staff knew who had ordered each dish, so no uncertainty or confusion. The food was good and a plus for me, the portions were not too large, so I could have managed three courses. Good atmosphere although we used one of the private dining rooms.

Great food and vibes, lovely staff!!!

Always a nice atmosphere in this pub. A group of old friends and myself often arrange meets in the Sussex, a relaxed and friendly place. Recommended!

Went for a Sunday roast, the chicken was dry, the potatoes were dry and the service was non-existent. Quite embarrassing. Edit to respond to the response: the drinks we ordered never came, we had to get up to remind the barman (he apologised). When the drinks came, one of the drinks was wrong (another apology). The food was quite late and was incredibly dry and tasteless (potatoes were like cardboard). We wanted a dessert menu and had to get up and ask for it ourselves. Overall a pretty underwhelming experience from somewhere that supposedly prides themselves on their Sunday roast. I think 3 stars is being generous to be perfectly honest. Good luck

They have nice function rooms upstairs for dining. The wine I had was labelled as special but tasted old. The food was nice and a good portion but the service was really slow.

Great location with friendly staff

Had a lovely evening meal here. Service was friendly. Special mention to Sarah.

The place is very welcoming and elegant, excellent food, especially fish & chips and burgers (vegan and traditional). Excellent service and quick and welcoming staff. Also excellent beers and drink offerings. Advised!

Blimey. Nearly £7 for a pint of Sambrook’s Wandle which comes in at 3.8%. What a rip off! It was served in a glass that was still warm too so it didn’t make for the best pint. There was also a bit of a strange smell in the pub so one pint was more than enough here. By far the most expensive ale I’ve had in the area and far from the best. The Pride was excellent at The Windmill earlier and was only £5.75. There are plenty of options in the area at much better value.

My partner and I were sat next to the kitchen. Halfway through our meal she watched a mouse/rat run next to our table and around our feet. We both quickly questioned the hygiene of the kitchen and our meals (which were not cheap). I immediately let a manager know and asked for the bill. They still expected us to pay for the whole bill even after our complaints and revealed to us that they have a PEST ISSUE. After fighting with the manager to have our meals comped she finally agreed and rather rudely returned a new bill without any apology. The pubs complete lack of concern around the issue made it clear that they have this ongoing issue and are not concerned about their customers food safety as it is a central pub that has a lot of tourists that most likely will Never return. However we were very upset with how the manager dealt with this situation and will definitely not be returning to this rat infested restaurant.

Giacamo and the team are always stars!!!

Great service - friendly bartenders will do table service. Decent prices for the area. Fantastic outdoor seating.

Attended with a group of friends and was disappointed compared to when we visited a year ago 😕

Great place, nice and delicious comfort food as for a Sunday Roast.

Just know that if you confirm a booking with them. They can randomly cancel ON THE DAY of said "confirmed" booking.

Excellent food. Friendly and engaging staff. A very pleasant day spent with friends. Recommended 👌

Fantastic food , I had the vegan option and it was very tasty, my husband had the beef and he said it was melt in the mouth .

Good pub but careful when online booking. Took my booking for lunch for 8 including kids, we arrived on a rainy day to be told we had a bench in the garden which was totally unsuitable. The booking confirmation didn’t say anything about an outside table. Not good.

A very busy and obviously popular gastro pub. Very welcoming staff and good Sunday roast menu, food nicely cooked. Roast potatoes would be better if served crispy. Would be happy to return if back in the area.

Great trendy pub 👍 only thing is it costs you an extra £2.00 per round if you are served by the waiters. My advice, get your steps in, walk to the bar and save yourself some hard earned cash 😉

Terrible food, it's hard to understand what the Caesar Salad has. Worst experience in London! The Sardinian waiter was very nice and super helpful

Lugar encantador para tomar una comida. Desafortunadamente llegamos un poco tarde para conseguir el asado del domingo, pero la hamburguesa era excelente. El servicio fue genial. También para los fans de la NFL este fue el único pub que encontramos que tenía Red Zone!

Our private dining room ready to go.....

Comimos aquí antes que la Vieja Vic. Asientos dentro y fuera, servicio decente y cervezas bien cuidadas y buena comida. Los entrantes y la red eléctrica se servían extrañamente al mismo tiempo. El pollo y el pastel de puerro y la lubina eran buenos y el pescado perfectamente cocinado.

We came in for a late afternoon Sunday roast, and we were greeted warmly with kindness. The staff (In particular one chap) went out of their way to accommodate us for dinner and to make sure we were happy. The roast was pretty tasty, nice selection of meat and vegetables, with really yummy stuffing balls. The roast potatoes were a little dry and not as crispy as we'd like but really good portion and value for money. Will definitely come back again.

I recommend this restaurant, everything is impeccable, location, cleanliness, service staff, kitchen staff are wonderful and the food is delicious I highly recommend

Had a roast dinner here and on the whole it was good. The chicken was a bit dry and needed much more gravy, Yorkshire was a bit too cooked for my liking too. Slightly small portion of cauliflower cheese for £7 but still nice - on the whole a solid roast but could be much better with some minor improvements.

Hosted a party in a private room last week for about 40 people. Service was fantastic and we had a great night. Would recommend!

Debería haber sabido mejor - el servicio era terrible antes. Pero yo iba a un show en el camino, y esto fue útil. Llegué temprano, pero el comedor no estaba ocupado, y me sentaron de inmediato. Si no quieres ser vegetariano, tus opciones son muy limitadas: puedes comer hamburguesa con queso de tocino o dos tipos de pescado. Bebí cerveza, pescado rebozado y patatas fritas. Me preguntó si quería patatas fritas o patatas fritas. Pedí papas fritas. Me sirvieron lo suficientemente rápido - el pescado vino con patatas fritas gruesas. El pescado estaba bien, aunque soso. Ni una sola persona se me acercó después para preguntarme si las cosas estaban bien, o si quería algo más. El vino era agradable, aunque hacia el extremo más barato de lo que era una carta de vinos caros. Hubiera pedido otro, si hubiera tenido la oportunidad. Así las cosas, logré llamar la atención de alguien para pedir la cuenta, pero no fue hasta que me puse mi abrigo que alguien trajo una máquina de tarjetas. Honestamente, habría comido más rápido, la comida habría sido más sabrosa, y habría pagado mucho menos, si hubiera comido en Pret, más adelante.

Recommended by Kevin @ParkPlaza and so glad we walked over to enjoy this Pub. This experience will be the high bar. We had Black Pudding Pork Scottish Eggs w/sauce followed by Bangers & Mash for me and Chicken Pie for my DW who also tried a Camden Hells lager.

Had dinner with friends, we had a couple of starters to share and all had the ribeye. It was the nicest and best cooked steak I’ve had in a very long time, the fries and sauce were excellent too. Service was really good, friendly and attentive. Would really recommend a visit.

Nice little pub, delicious Sunday roast and jalapeño margaritas

¡DE PRIMERA! En Londres para un fin de semana largo y alojarse el domingo por la noche cerca de Waterloo. Hice una búsqueda rápida en TripAvisor para encontrar este pub y estaba encantado con los resultados. Ambos tuvimos carne asada, con un monstruoso Yorkshire pudín y verduras - era de primera clase. Buena selección de cervezas y vinos disponibles por copa. El personal era muy bueno/atento y el pub en sí estaba muy bien cuidado. Volvería otra vez. Gracias Team Duke 👍🏼

My friend & I with 2 children had a pleasant late lunch with drinks. My friend (who is the most diplomatic peraon I know) went to the bar to purchase another drink. Sadly, the rude barman refused her ( she just told him she was next to be served) Even a barmaid agreed with her. However, he refused to serve her saying she was awkward (which I add she never is) . So after spending upwarda of £60 we left. YOU need to re-train this very nasty barman.

¡Gracias al increíble equipo de The Duke of Sussex! Tuvimos una fabulosa cena de 26 personas en una de sus habitaciones privadas. Reece, Chyna, Megi, Vinny, Tom y Callum eran absolutamente brillantes y fuimos increíblemente bien atendidos por un maravilloso grupo de personas. También agradecemos a Sarah por su planificación y correspondencia en los días previos al evento. Nuestras comidas eran deliciosas y las opciones de set - menú eran variadas y emocionantes para elegir. Esperamos con interés nuestro próximo evento en The Duke of Sussex y agradecemos a todos nuevamente por ser fantásticos.

We spent two days in London after a recent Northern European cruise. We wanted our final meal in London to reflect traditional, local offerings and made our way to the Duke of Sussex. As it was a beautiful evening, we opted for dining on the patio. Roland was our waiter, and we were very pleased with his recommendations as well as his friendly yet professional demeanor. The setting, service, and meal were all wonderful. It was a perfect way to wrap up our trip.

Beautiful place, great atmosphere and a lovely place to go for a drink. The menu reads well, just ok on the taste buds.

The food is good, but the service is terrible. Even with a reservation, you feel almost invisible to the staff, as if you're an inconvenience to them.

Excellent table service. Roland was a dream and looked after us all afternoon and offered great wine selection. Love the Duke of Sussex.

Emmanuel and Ayana was amazing server, food and drinks were great. Great place to be

Spent a lovely evening here with family. Great atmosphere and service. Unfortunately left expensive prescription glasses behind. However, Heather and staff were brilliant. Went out of her way to reunite me with glasses. Iam not local and she had them posted to me. Thank you all and would definitely recommend a visit to anyone travelling to London.

Just had dinner hear and the service and food were elite! Looked super busy but food and drinks came out real speedy. Had an awesome server who was onto it - Thank you Reece - which was good. Best place I’ve been to so far in the UK (from NZ) so definitely recommend!!

With competition stiff in London, where there is a restaurant and pub every 100ft, you would think businesses would love Patrons coming to spend their money. Not this place. Totally unorganized, ZERO hospitality and an utter mess. I don’t review much, but when it’s bad, it has to be very bad. No one seated us, got water only after asking a server who passed us a dozen times prior. Then…we sat. And waited…and waited…and waited. Not ever seeing a waiter looking in our direction to even try and flag them down. Nope, this was not the place for us. We got up and left…i certain they didn’t notice, because they certainly didn’t care. Word of advice, maybe have some sort of organization to where you greet your customers see them in a location to where a server knows that they’re new and they’re there to order food and drinks. Seems pretty remedial, but that did not happen here. This, on my wife’s birthday no less. What a shame. Spend your money elsewhere.

Very nice place, with attentive service and good atmosphere. Me and my friends all had fish and chips and it was crispy, not too oily, fresh, and delicious. We booked a table outside and I must say they have one of the prettier outdoor seating I've ever seen considering it's so close to a high-traffic city area. We went on a regular Tuesday evening, so I was expecting for the place to be a little empty, but I couldn't be more wrong! The place was buzzing, and because they've spaced the tables sensibly, we enjoyed the lively crowd without being packed like sardines. Very recommended spot, and do yourself a favour: book in advance!

Bit overpriced for what it is- seems to cater primarily to the nearby hotels. Would come back for a beer to sit outside, but would eat elsewhere. Food is very good, but you can get better close by.

Excellent place. Delicious food. Good beer. Visited on vacation 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it! Definitely a must visit if you’re in Waterloo

Great pub, amazing service from Luca. Thank you so much!

Great place just off the cut with friendly helpful staff.

I go in to this pub a lot. Not just for the pub but for the staff too. Montana is specifically a standout at the pub. 10/10 service always

Fantastic pub, wine selection great and food always 10/10. Service is always amazing, Montana especially was brilliant, will definitely be coming back.

This pub is a hidden gem. The atmosphere, the service, everything. We'll repeat! Thank you.

Been before but the venue location suited us all travel wise. Great day for weather and good seating outside in the warm. Always enjoyed the beer and food here, all of which choices are great. Served by Heather who had great humour and really seemed to go out of her way to look after us. It isn't hard to be friendly and polite to people but so few do. She was the exception. Well done Heather, an asset.

Great pub, amazing selection. Massive outdoor area in front and side of the pub. The atmosphere is amazing, people will stand around as tables get too busy. The bar itself it to crowded and small to serve this massive number of people, could be a long wait between pints. Also had a great cocktail selection

Pasta portions were super small. Were asked to pay upon ordering outside. Overpriced but convenient location.

Waitress misunderstood the order and had to retake it. When brought to the table she handed the wrong alcoholic drinks to the guests who ordered non-alcoholic ones and didn't realise until she brought the remainder of the drinks, by which time they had already started to drink them.

What a gem of a pub.....few minutes walk from Waterloo Station.....hidden under the trees which provided shade and a secluded area to catch up with friends.... Food was amazing....highly recommend the fish finger sandwich....and our waitress Heather was brilliant.....funny, friendly and attentive..... Will definitely be back

Great pub with a good range of drinks and served by super friendly staff. Large outdoor seating area too

This pub is in an excellent location, it is extremely popular so reservations are highly recommended. The staff were all polite, friendly and thoughtful. We received wonderful service all evening. The food was absolutely amazing. Compliments to all staff in the kitchen, our food was on time, hot and very tasty. I recommend the scotch egg starter and the Guiness pie! Really great place, excellent customer service!

Super busy for the England match making it hard to get to the bar (not the pubs fault obviously) but the barmen were on the ball and got people served quickly. Decent Guinness, good outside space

Food was great, and good price !

Nice food, reasonable service, definitely not unlimited Yorkshire puddings (easier to get blood from a stone).

Service is a bit slow from waiters taking orders to food being derved. However, the food was delicious, fresh, and worth the money. Sunday roast is definitely a win here!!

Great pub with a good outdoor area! Gets busy in the summer, but you'll def get a table in the garden if you're patient (not a bad idea to book one though!)

Amazing food and friendly staff. Perfect!

This place truly stands out among other similar establishments you can stumble upon in London. It's clean and well-maintained, the food is exceptional, and the garden is a very pleasant place to sit in. Service is top-notch. Highly recommended.

Been here a few times, service is always fantastic. Was served by Kevin and Inna this time, both very friendly. Was recommended to try the roast beef which was delicious

Nice pub with a large outdoor area and which handled a large crowd very well.

Says online they serve food to certain time but when asked at the bar, kitchen had closed 2 hours prior. Don’t go off online timings, best to ask in person. Calling doesn’t work as no one answers. Other than that, always looks busy and decent place for quick drink.

Rotating Cask ales. Fantastic outdoor seating area (reservable). Nice little restaurant space at the back. Bangers and mash was a little lacking.

Outstanding food!! Fish and chips were amazing, Short rib pie amd mash were wonderful and seared seabream was a hit! Save room for dessert. This pub was just across the street from the Hampton Inn at Waterloo and made a great start to our first day in London

Busy but a great outdoor space near waterloo

Extortionate prices and mediocre service.

Lovely staff!! Quick service and a great roast and pint of Guiness.

Thank you to the bar man who changed the TV channel from F1 to WSL final match. That was very much appreciated!

Good beer, even better food and amazing staff.

We meet up with friends we had not seen in years and the waitresses were so good and let us chat for a bit. We were all happy with our food. Kids loved their chocolate brownies. Service and food fantastic. Give the two waitresses a plug and a raise!!

One of the best roast dinners in London I've had. Reasonable prices. Staff are all lovely. Great pub!

Service can be better but it's still a nice pub

Cool pub with a big outdoor space. Perfect for a gathering during sunny days.

Thanks for charging my phone. Beers and service was great. :)

Nice pub. Good outdoor area with plenty of seating.

Great place for fish & chips. Sit inside or outside with the locals. Great service, great food and great atmosphere.

Ordered a bottle of picpoul and was left with a glass full of sediment. For a £30 a bottle of wine, it’s quite expensive! We brought this to the attention of the bar staff, but was met with the fact that their supplier had told them it was a dodgy batch, and they tried to argue that this was normal for picpoul. Knowing it is not we asked for. The bartended was incredibly rude, Almost blaming us for drinking it & not noticing sooner. Big shame, I should get what I paid for, not a knock off version! the pub cares more about money than customer satisfaction. Quantity over quality.

Excellent fish & chips, great location, outside too.

What a lovely pub! I'm visiting from Australia and a local friend brought me here. The food was excellent and I certainly can't fault the service as it was very friendly particularly the girl from Canada and the girl from Liverpool who both had great senses of humour and genuinely cared that we had a good experience. Will be back!

Just popped in for a pint. It's a lovely pub right next to a park. On a sunny day it's probably rammed! Stone's throw from the station too!

Booked table for my birthday we were outside The staff here are so very helpful and lovely Nothing is too much for them and the food is very good . A few of us the roast pork belly which was delicious, fish and chips big and cooked perfectly We also ordered some of the starters which were great too The kids meals were the same standard Would like to say a big thank you to the lady who severed us ( sorry I don’t know your name Had an American accent ) She made everything go smoothly We have used this pub several times and always bern satisfied Keep up the good work always a pleasure when we come See you soon

Need more staff on the bar on a Friday night. Bar team should not have to walk out and be shown which table to send food too. Grab a sharpie and number your tables as a temp fix. Food and service sound.

The manager didn't seem friendly but the rest was good apart from the broken lock in the men's toilet

All draft beers were off. Not even the ubiquitous goto of Doom Bar could be salvaged. When we arrived, the bar was three deep with only two people serving. Cocktails slowed service down even further. Numbers rallied later in the evening. Its trying to be too many things to too many people.

It's really amazing lots of people....

As an American, I had to try Sunday dinner and it was very good. Desserts were also good.

Only had a few beers but the food looked great

I booked this venue for a birthday celebration (Chichester room) and it was great all round. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The canapés were amazing. It was such a good location and decent value. We were able to have the room for a decent time and they let us play our own music and decorate as we wanted. I'd totally recommend and use again!

Just popped in for a beer - well kept , nice atmosphere. Will return.
