I had a lovely Sunday lunch with my wife at the Duke yesterday. The veg in particular was some of the best I have tasted. We both had roast sirloin and were not disapointed. It's not a cheap place by any means but the food is a real cut above and the service very attentive. If I did have a criticism it's that some of the wine is a bit toppy. The bar is also very nice for a drink. You get a nice crowd there as well so it really is one to try.

One of the better things that happened on this side of Marylebone in 2007 - complete refurb of our local pub serving one of the more divine foods in the area. Before you go there for a meal, do make sure you are wearing 'fat' clothes. All courses are not only gob-smackingly delicious but generous in portions. I usually pass on the complimentary bread basket as its nothing more than moulds of hard stuff. At The Duke, you can't but ask for more. The breads are warm and butter soft. Heaven.

I'm a big fan of their cornish dressed crab and eel with beetroot as starters. But if you love meat, I know people who go there just for their pig's cheek! If you think the starters are brilliant, the mains are even better - from panfried skate to 21day-old steak to steamed mushroom pudding. Decisions decisions... The Duke has one of the more inventive side-dishes, our favourite is cepes & chestnuts - a glorious combination of taste and texture. Always leave room for dessert! Another difficult decision - its always 99% sticky toffee pudding steamed to perfection with just the right amount of not-overtly sweet toffee sauce. But when the steamed ginger pudding was introduced, I jumped ship to ginger.

Not only is the food lovely, the staff are great with precise attention to detail. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. We love it and hope you will too.
