Simon Goodman - Head chef/OwnerHead chef Simon Goodman

"I try to use as much of the abundant produce available from the local area as possible - cooking with meat from nearby organic farms, fresh fish from the south coast, as well as the pub's own trout ponds - the emphasis here at The Duke is on simple, delicious, rustic dishes. With ten years’ experience as a head chef, and two times winner at the Pub Chef of the Year competition, I am convinced that this is the sort of food that will continue to pull people into our precious local pubs."
