Simon Goodman – Head chef/Owner

I try to use as much of the abundant produce available from the local area – cooking with meat from nearby organic farms, fresh fish from the south coast, as well as the pub’s own vegetable patch. The emphasis here at The Duke is on simple & delicious dishes. With 20 years’ experience as a head chef, and winner of the Pub Chef of the Year competition, I am convinced that this is the sort of food & atmosphere that will continue to pull people into our precious local pubs.

Important note:
The menus shown on our site are only example of the food we serve – our menus change regularly.

Everything you eat will be prepared to order so please be patient during busy periods.

Please do let us know if you have any allergy or dietary requirements, please also note some dishes may contain traces of nuts – more vegetarian and vegan options may be available on the day.

Unfortunately we do not have highchairs available but diners are welcome to bring their own.

Our new dining area is an excellent venue for larger parties (40-50 guests) and functions with cosy wood burners and great views.

Our restaurant / garden room with fabulous views over the Surrey Hills is available for larger bookings for a minimum spend that will depend upon the day and time of year. We also have an area in the ‘old duke’ bar area with our rustic tables and ancient beams, for smaller gatherings up to 20. All our functions are tailored to suit you, whether it is for a formal sit down meal, party vibe or casual BBQ.  Please call to discuss your requirements.

Look out for our social media posts regarding events we are running here for all to enjoy, particularly on the 28th July, and 25th August.
