Myself and two friends ended a summer evening bike ride here but unfortunately got caught in heavy rain. The welcome we received from everyone was lovely. The beer was good, the service was exceptional and welcoming and the food (beef and ale pie x 3) was exactly what we needed. I would recommend this place for all these reasons but especially for the friendly welcome. A really lovely pub.

We stayed for 2 nights here …So lucky as the weather was amazing, we was able to enjoy the tasty food in the garden while enjoying the sun. Room was comfy and has a lovely view across the fields. I enjoyed laying in the bath and watching the world go by as the view is lovely. All staff were polite and happy to help. The food is amazing. We will definitely come back again to just enjoy relaxing in the country side.

Excellent family pub lunch. Friendly service. Pie of the day was ‘the best thing I’ve ever eaten’ by my son, 10 years old. My daughter, four, enjoyed feeding the goats. Thank you for such a lovely relaxed meal and afternoon.

The Iron Duke is a “go to ‘ pub. The food is homemade, fresh and home cooked,. The service amazing. It’s a small rural pub so no no road noise and it’s perfect for any age, any size group. We were in the outside garden, which is grassy with a nice marquee and some wooden tables with umbrellas.. no heaters .. service was fabulous .. others in the garden made it a friendly and interesting meal and chat, The food was so good we came back again day 2 .Amazing and we will be back . Thank you

booked table for 5..didnt seem to be many there..lady who served was lovely and must be rushed of her feet if it is busy and just her booking people in and serving.Food was very nice and tasty.I thought the menu was limited and expensive.Some reviews state good value, but i dont think £27 for an 8ounce steak,£15 for sausage and mash and £16 for burger and chips is good value

The Iron Duke is only just off the beaten track and well worth the slight diversion from the A35. With COVID restrictions we ate in the garden although we did eat inside on a previous visit. This place is a real gem with a superb menu and local ale. The prices are good value too as the portions are generous. Excellent, friendly service too. We are looking forward to our next visit.

All safely distanced. Food stunningly lovely and quality drinks. All reasonably priced with great service. We will be back.

Booked a table of 4 - the others had been several times before. The atmosphere was great and the lady that served us was wearing a full face mask. Ordered the Camembert starter to share. Three of us had the fillet steak and one the hamburger - all the meals were excellent - as was the wine.Lovely meal and a pleasant end to my UK sojourn - but I will be back.Good luck with all the various lock-down rules and I hope you manage to stay open.

An utter Gem of a place.... the beginning of a long lasting friendship! Found this incredible pub by accident and I’m so glad I did. James is a brilliant host and the pub has the best garden ever. It’s cosy (with a twinkle in its eye) and, on a sunny Tuesday afternoon, pours the perfect pint - and I’m sure all other days of the week. This is a must stop at pub.

Esta fue nuestra primera experiencia de comer fuera desde el inicio del cierre. Elegimos el Iron Duke porque está cerca de donde vivimos y hemos estado allí antes y nos gustó.Estamos muy contentos de haberla elegido, la cerveza (Timothy Taylors) fue excelente (¡especialmente después de 4 meses!!). Ambos pedimos la pizza que estaba recién hecha y deliciosamente crujiente y muy abundante, no íbamos a molestarnos con el postre, pero un vistazo al menú y elegimos la olla de chocolate y el posset de limón, ambos divinos.Mathew y James nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y su naturaleza amistosa se contagia a los otros clientes que dijeron hola, esta es siempre una de las cosas más agradables de la identificación junto con su naturaleza peculiar. Claramente se habían tomado muchas molestias para asegurarse de que cumplían con la normativa Covid y se tomaban muy en serio este aspecto del negocio, por ejemplo, había un amplio espacio entre las mesas, un buen borrador, todo se borró y los menús se usaron solo una así que sentimos que estábamos en un entorno seguro.En general, fue una velada encantadora ya que todo estaba tan bien

We wanted a table for two but apparently requesting a table with two metres between my and my partner is still not available... so we did take out instead..I ordered the burger with extra cheese and bacon and she ordered scampi n chips, we ordered on-line but found it easier and always a pleasure phoning through our order.. support local businesses instead of the chains and we want the Iron Duke to stick around so we can enjoy this place in person when this virus thing is over. 6 years ago give or take, we had our first date at this pub so we although not local locals, we still try and visit as much as possible.Now, although this is take out food, there is no compromise in quality and or flavour, the little details like mushy peas and tartare sauce make it so much better than normal take-out options and we will definitely be back, before lock down ends and after lock down.. It doesn’t feel like we are doing anything special but I love that we get thanked for our support, it doesn’t seem like we are supporting them too much, just by eating good quality food, well cooked and well presented, but none the less, it’s me that thanks you and will support you as much as we can in anyway possible.Thank you for a great meal, highly recommended and I urge anyone reading this.. order take out, you won’t be disappointed. Stay safe, keep up the great quality.

We knew Covid 19 was coming and wanted to get a family meal in for my wife's birthday while we still could, and we couldn't have chosen better. Wonderful staff looking after our party of eight plus dog. Good parking, great food, nice ale and a nice table in a nook. The children were invited to feed the goat & chickens, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely pub group style food, not part of a chain so fresh and a good menu. We were in no hurry and weren't rushed, an excellent afternoon (we were booked in late, after 2:00, to suit our guests).Now, writing this five days later, restrictions have kicked in and I feel so sorry (& worried) for these family businesses. I am just happy that we gave them a reasonable return for their service while we were able. We will return when restrictions allow.

Our visit was a bit of a "Curates Egg". Some parts good and some not so good. Some of the party thought it was excellent but that was not my opinion. I ordered the beef roast. It was swimming in gravy and the horseradish sauce was on the side of the plate without me requesting - there was no mustard option. The roast potatoes were tiny pieces of potato.

Normalmente no escribo reseñas, pero tuve una mala experiencia aquí. Había 11 de nosotros que vinimos para el almuerzo del domingo. Comenzó bien, hasta que tuve un error en mi pajita que chupé y luego escupí y se arrastró por nuestra mesa. Tengo que decir que me hizo sentir extremadamente enfermo que tenía un insecto vivo en la boca. Sé que suceden cosas, pero cuando fui al bar para contarles y pedir una bebida fresca, apenas se disculparon, pero me trajeron una bebida nueva. También me cobraron por esta bebida, solo creo que si sucede algo así, tomar un jugo de naranja y limonada de la cuenta como un gesto de buena voluntad no habría sido mucho pedir.

Starters delivered except for one that we had to wait 5 mins for. Starters a mixed bag Camembert and Scotch egg good. White bait over cooked, prawns ok ish. Main course all came out ok. Lamb ,

We found this brilliant gastropub on the way home after visiting The Vyne national trust property (nr Sherborne) with my parents on Sat 15 June. We were delighted that it turned out to be so wonderful and will definitely be visiting again to sample more of the menu. We had a light lunch so we all chose a starter and then a dessert. The food was divine & the service was perfect (friendly & attentive but not pushy). We rarely tell a waiter to pass on our thanks to the chef but on this occasion it was well deserved - my passion fruit posset in particular may have been the most divine dessert I've ever tasted! I can't believe I didn't know this place existed before now and can't wait to go again and have a full 3 courses next time!

Si bien el pub puede estar ligeramente fuera de los caminos trillados, está bien firmado por signos marrones (cómo lo encontramos) y vale la pena un pequeño desvío de la A 33.

I can't believe I've lived in Berkshire for 18 years and have never been to this amazing pub for a meal before. Unbelievable ambience. The place is seeped in history, it feels like your in someone's front room with the host James delightful in every way. Yet there is clearly someone in the kitchen who is very clever with the cooker. I believe this is James partner and co owner. The menu is varied but it seems whatever you fancy within reason is also on the menu if it's in stock. I asked for no mash on my fish pie ( today's special) I was asked what would I put on if I were cooking it and I said any mashed vegetable. Well it was delicious. The garden is also beautifully natural with fruit trees and bushes and three little goats fenced in a field at the bottom of a very peaceful area. Try it yourself. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for our superb welcome and lunch.

Me and a few friends came across this pub/restaurant when looking for somewhere new to eat. Decided to give it a try as the reviews were consistently positive. We were not dissapointed at all! It lived up to its great reviews and you could tell the food was home made and fresh... even down to the berries for dessert being picked in their own garden!

My partner and I stayed at the Iron Duke. The room exceeded our expectations and the view was great to wake up to in the morning. The garden was so nice to sit in with a beer, it was the perfect break from London.

Friendly locals and staff. Extremely helpful as we were lost, once we had been to Stratfield Saye house we returned for a late lunch. Amazing huge fish pie and a beef roast dinner, really delicious food. Atmosphere is like being in ypur own home very comfy and welcoming. We will be back!

Living local. Visited twice recently. Just for a drink. But for a meal about year ago. Food average overpriced and salty. OK recent visits. Garden areas very poorly maintained. Furniture requires total replacement. Beer draught lager tastes like the pipes need cleaning. Living local does not make you want to frequent to often. Expensive

Excellent food, the beef wellington was outstandingly moorish, the special of the day chicken pie was fabulous and of a very generous portion. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the decor was very nice.

Having previously eaten out at the Iron Duke and thoroughly enjoyed it, choosing this location for a party for around 100 family and friends was an easy decision.

First time there in years. Used to be called something else. Anyway, had a family lunch. Very good. Great service. Very welcoming. Very good food at affordable prices. Well cooked and presented. We ate outside in the pub garden so didn't see too much of the inside. Good range of beers. Thought the toilets could do with an upgrade. However, a good pub and would certainly go again.

Happened upon this pub, following the signs from the A33 as it's the midpoint between where my fellow diner & I live. Lovely location, pretty garden, plenty of parking, very warm welcome from the hosts, good food, and directions to a nearby walk along the River Lodden. Would highly recommend.

We live in Bramley and it was our first time to the iron duke !! Didn’t book visited midweek with my husband - he had lamb shank and I had veggie wellington - portions were huge and could tell it was all home cooked food - it was delicious ! Service was excellent and a very friendly hospitable manager ! Not cheap but that is expected ! We will be back :-)

I decided to eat here because I have a Dine card and they offered a 241 main. It's a country pub in a quiet location but the food was excellent. My friend and I both had the fish pie which was delicious. It was packed full of large chunks of juicy fish with a light sauce and topped with perfect mash. We also had the cherry bakewell cheesecake for dessert - another great choice. We were the only people eating but it was a Tuesday evening. I highly recommend the food and the service and I will definitely be back.

What a pleasant evening. A rural place where four of us had very good meals, all different where we would all have been happy with each others meal. The breads as a starter was lovely. No time pressures, and a convivial host made the whole experience well worth repeating on another day. Not a large venue so suggest booking in advance.

We popped in to warm up after a snowy walk and were made to feel very welcome, even though we only had time for a coffee on this occasion. This was served with delicious cookies which we enjoyed in the comfortable lounge area. The restaurant...
