Myself and my husband eat out often as it is one of our favourite things to do and this place is by far one of the best. Not only is the food always amazing but so are all of the staff. Karl is an absolute credit, lovely and always accommodating.

This is by far the best pub food I have had in a very long time. The atmosphere in the pub was wonderful, relaxed and friendly and the staff were so accomodating. The food was outstanding. We are dispappointed that the pub is not open for food on Chrsitmas day but the staff do such an amazing job, they dererve a well earned rest. ❤️ If you haven't been, you must go. This is a new favourite.

We have just had another wonderful evening at the Dukes Head. The staff were so welcoming and warm and they even remembered our drink order from last month which was a lovely personal touch. We had the seafood chowder which was honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten and a beef and Stilton pasty ...incredible!! Thank you, we can't wait to come back soon!

Lovely sunday lunch. Helpful and attentive staff. It was a good atmosphere and dog friendly. Only complaint would be that it was very loud, although, it’s a small pub and a busy day so understand that can’t be avoided

We have just had the best Sunday lunch of all time!! Firstly when we walked in we were greeted straight away by the lovely female manager, she showed us to the table and we got served drinks almost straight away. The food was amazing! We all had a roast dinner which was fabulous, the potatoes were crispy and fluffy. The meat was divine. We didn't think it could get any better until we ordered desserts the sticky toffee pudding was honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten. All the staff were fab! Great job guys, we will be back!

Warm welcome on arrival, nice decor good mix of traditional warm and also reasonably modern,in all the right ways. Good beer drinks selections and above average wine list for a pub, plenty of choice. Food better than the usual pub standard. plenty of choice, specials and a with a freshly prepared / homemade feel. Had another tasty lunch today. Good value. Even better with dog treats…

We were disappointed that the Sunday lunch was poorly cooked and served. The Yorkshire pudding was stale and very hard to even cut with our knives. Potatoes were burnt and tasteless. The lamb was very hard to eat as it was undercooked and chewy. The plate was small and the really loaded with food and the food items were fighting with our knives, the sauces and vegetables were spreading around. We left half of our plates uneaten. I raised my concerns about the food with the waiter while collecting the plates. She said she would report it to kitchen/management but no one came to our table and acknowledge the complaint. We will never go back to this pub. I had booked a table due to good reviews. But this was the worst meal we ever had in the recent years.

Had possibly the best roast dinner I’ve ever had today! Thoroughly recommend the broccoli and cauliflower cheese side and also the leeks in cheese sauce. Will be returning!

Having read other reviews it seems there is a repetitive issue on a Saturday evening. On Saturday we visited and were surprised to see the place so empty that I asked a waitress if they were closing early. She replied that most customers had visited earlier. This was difficult to accept and was evidently untrue as the manager was seen to be turning others away later in the evening. Needless to say the atmosphere was dire and the service was overly fast, making us all feel very unwelcome. The food was acceptable except the monkfish curry featured monkfish in batter which was odd and unexpected. Even though we are all local we won’t be rushing back!!

Another fantastic meal at the Dukes Head. It is our favorite pub in Surrey!! I had the Monkfish Curry and my husband had the Toad in the Hole, which were both spectacular. To finish we shared the bread and butter pudding which was delicious!! All the staff were friendly and efficient. We can't wait for our next date night!

Very disappointed. Think a recent change of chef and management. Poor quality Thai Monk fish curry- No monk fish in curry -just deep fried batted monk fish pieces and a bought in Thai sauce. Glutinous rice over boiled. Rude service also prevented from going to the bar to buy drinks- table service only if eating.

I had the seafood tagliatelle, one of my favourites but I have to say this was the best I’ve ever had! Excellent portions, food quality and flavour just brilliant. Fully recommend eating here..

We booked a table for two on Mother’s Day , the 12 o’clock sitting. This pub had been recommended by friends, so although it’s a fair distance for us to travel, we thought we’d give it a go. We were very pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the joint managers who made us feel very welcome. We ordered the roast dinner and the fish pie. I have to say that they were both delicious. The fish pie was packed with a very generous amount of filling and was very tasty. It’s probably the nicest fish pie I’ve had either in a restaurant or in a pub. My husband was very pleased with his roast dinner too… very filling. The service was excellent. The young waiting staff were friendly, solicitous and very attentive. All in all a very pleasant pub meal experience… other pubs and restaurants could take note! We have every intention of returning as many times as our budget allows even though it’s not local to us.

There were 5 of us and we asked if an extra place could be laid on a table for four to enable us all to sit together. The manager was most unhelpful, rude and overbearing and only grudgingly, and with bad grace, agreed to add a fifth seat.The restaurant was no where near full and his lame excuse that he now had one table only able to sit three, was risible. The dining experience was quite spoilt for all of us by this appalling behaviour.

I came here with my family, boyfriend and friends for a Sunday roast and it was honestly the best roast that I have had whilst eating out. It’s very difficult to come across a good roast dinner at a restaurant these days but I could not fault anything that we had eaten and the roast pork belly is amazing! Good portions, brilliant service and the atmosphere is really homely (even with how busy it was). The starters and desserts were just as delicious and we all had a brilliant time. Thank you to all at the Dukes - we will definitely be back very soon!

This pub is nice however there was no childrens menu and £11.95 for a tuna sandwich for a child is ridiculous, we asked the waitress if she could give us a childs version but no was the answer. This place is not child friendly and after spending £250 on lunch for 7 adults and 4 children, i think they need to have a rethink.

Arrived at 7.45 pm on Wednesday 8 February, and was told kitchen was closing at 8 pm, so we quickly ordered a main meal with drinks. We'd just finished eating when the last orders bell was rung at 8.45!! I asked if this was a mistake but the bar lady said it wasn't and they were closing as they were quiet! I've never heard of a pub doing this before, I won't be going back in case it happens regularly!

We had booked a table for Sunday lunch and were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. Our drinks order was taken and served speedily then we chose from the Menu. We both chose Roasts- 1 the Roast Lamb and the other the Nut Roast. Our food arrived quickly and the plates were piled high with great food including a good variety of tasty and freshly steamed vegetables. Both of us were defeated by several roast potatoes although they were lovely ! After a short break we found room to share a fruit crumble and custard, the crumble was well filled with a good amount of recognisable fruit and the crumble topping was crunchy and delicious. The staff were well trained, exceptionally hard working, efficient and friendly and the whole place had a wonderful atmosphere on a windy Wintry Sunday. It’s definitely worth booking in advance as the Duke’s Head was busy and having enjoyed our meal there we know why !

Came here with another couple on a Saturday evening in January. On arrival we were surprised to see it so empty. The man who I assume to be the manager or landlord made for a very unpleasant evening. Disappointing as we’d previously had a nice meal here which is why I suggested to our friends that we head there. It’s not exactly close for us & they travelled 1hr+ to get there. Our reservation was at 19:30 & at around 21:00 the manager (tall, larger, grumpy looking man) started repairs to a bar stool. I wondered what all the loud banging was & there he was , sat up at the bar behind us whacking a bar stool. This went on for 10mins or so. Our friend then thought she’d heard the bell ring once but I hadn’t heard it & assumed as it was around 21:30 she must have been mistaken. 10mins after this the banging started up again. It was then we realised it wasn’t a repair, but an attempt to make us feel uncomfortable enough to leave. We ignored him & carried on finishing up our drinks & conversation. At 22:00 he rang the bell for us to leave. The table next to us looked equally bemused by his ignorant behaviour. It’s no wonder it’s dead on a Saturday evening if thats the way you’re going to carry on. As we left there was no goodbye from him. He was just sat there playing with his calculator, making it obvious we’d outstayed our welcome. Truth be told, we weren’t made welcome from the start!! Food was average, certainly not worth the trek.

Just got home from a wonderful Sunday roast dinner with my son. A friendly hello given as soon as we entered (via back door) The food was exceptional quality and portion size big. Had a share antipasti starter plate followed by turkey and sirloin of beef roast dinners. Dessert was a Baileys brioche bread and butter pudding with rum and raisin ice cream. The beef was cooked to perfection (still pink in middle) and succulent, the horse raddish condiment had a great heat but not overpowering and complimented the beef perfectly. My son said the turkey was moist and full of flavour. Both roast dinners came with a huge Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, stuffing, fresh vegetables and gravy. We both agreed that there was one too many potatoes on our plate. The stuffing was lovely but not to our taste, purely a personal taste thing, by no means a problem with the chefs recipie or quality of the food. The Baileys brioche bread and butter pudding with rum and raisin ice cream was a good size portion (enough for two) we accepted the offer of a side plate to share. Lovely Baileys flavour came through but did not overpower the whole dessert. With our antipasti starter platter, we chose the prawns and smoked salmon option. The prawns were big and flavoursome. The smoked salmon also had good flavour. The flat bread was lovely and warm with a lovely houmous and selection of olives. Wasn't sure about the Brie and pickled onion served with the antipasti but it did work and we polished it off nicely. The staff/owners clearly know what they are doing without being overbearing or intrusive. It was very busy yet everything ran like clockwork. Every guest welcomed, no major waiting to be served, tables cleared and cleaned immediately, guests checked upon in a friendly manner throughout their stay with no rushing or harassing. People turning up without a booking were told when availability could be possible. Such a joy to use establishments like this. You feel genuinely valued and are able to relax. Can't imagine how hard the kitchen staff are working behind the scenes today. Thank you for your fabulous food. We will be back. *Booking strongly advised if you want Sunday lunch.

My partner had delicious gluten free fish and chips, and there were some fantastic specials. The ham hock with Scotch egg and chunky chips that were delicious. The house burger was quality as always and I can only say ‘go hungry’ as the portions are extremely generous. We saved space for the puddings that have also had some new additions by the chef. Popcorn, toasted marshmallow crème brûlée, salted caramel brownies ( both Gluten free) were delicious and menu favourite ‘sticky toffee pudding’. There were also some new cocktails and warm drinks on offer, but we were just too full! Along with the friendly service, the usual fare of pub drinks I cannot recommend it highly enough. We shall be back.

Wow! My husband and I have just returned from a truly magical night at the Dukes Head. Firstly the friendly warm welcome from Ellie and her team set the tone for our evening. The service was fantastic from start to finish! As for the food...what a game changer! I am not sure if they have a new chef however the food tonight was a whole new level. We had the pumpkin risotto with sea-bass followed by the popcorn creme brûlée. I am not usually a dessert person but this was incredible and the homemade marshmallow was delicious. I couldn't recommend this place more!!!

Compliments to the chef on the duck meal we had yesterday from the special menu which was so well presented and absolutely delicious. To add to this the service and attention we received from Ellie and Katie was outstanding not forgetting the friendliness of the manager Karl. Whilst we were there the owners Wendy and Jean were discussing their plan for a Fizz Night. For November on a Tuesday night they are going the have two hours whereby you can have endless fizz and a platter of charcuterie, cheeses and fruit which we saw and looked delicious. How inventive to do something different as a warm up to Christmas. This is such a special pub and it is definitely a gastropub because the food is outstanding and of a top restaurant standard so be sure to book in advance because it is popular.

Dined here for the first time this evening . We arrived at 6.00pm and got shown to our table straightaway.The pub is just beautiful. Really cosy, welcoming, with a really good vibe. Contemporary, nice decor and lovely touch with the candles and lit trees. Just so welcoming.The menu has something for everyone, good choices of food and vegetarian options. Has a really nice cocktail menu too and i can recommend the lychee martini….Ordered our food. Good selection. What I also liked is that they are really accommodating….want to swap something out, yep, no problem. Small, but decent wine choices and very reasonably priced.Food arrived and was piping hot and so incredibly tasty. Good quality, quantity and delicious. A proper gastro pub. The chef should be recognised for the food, which was really v tasty and well cooked and presented. No one on our table was disappointed with their food.Desserts were lovely too.Cannot really fault this place. Highly recommend it. Oh and last but not least, the service was amazing. Thankyou Carl (manager, hope I remembered your name correctly) and team. The service was first class. We had a really good evening and we will definitely be back.

Most outstanding were the ladies(management I guess?)who served us.Service truly beyond compare.Charming,friendly and accommodating.We were fitted in at the last minute and encouraged to take our time to order our food and enjoy our drinks.Nothing was too much trouble.I had the king prawn linguine(really large portion and full of sea food,delicious!)and my guest had the salmon,who also said it was delicious.We ordered garlic bread as a side which was slightly too crispy but when we gave feedback after the meal,the cost of the garlic bread was taken off without request.So a lovely afternoon,in truly comfortable surroundings,we will definitely be back.Thank you ladies!

The service was very good. Warm welcome, prompt and attentive too.Broad range of choice on the menu and plenty to ponder over.Our food was served in good time and was delicious...esp the chips!Pudding wasn't as good as the main and felt like a bit of an afterthought but that's the only minor issue from a very pleasant evening.

The sportsman has had the same menu for at least 2 years,it’s beggars belief and it’s the old chefs menu. They really don’t know what there doing in that place. The roast dinner,I wouldn’t serve that to a dog. There only and main concern in that place is the locals who only drink,don’t upset them or your won’t have a business at all. But if you’re into a bit of swinging that’s your place,locals are up for anything including the owner.
