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.

We often have seasonal specials available….

Bespoke menus available for larger parties, prepared and tailored to suit you so please ask about our seasonal options.
Shoot luncheons can also be arranged in one of our three areas, depending on the size of the party.

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 marquee / garden room situated on our terrace area is also available for larger bookings, offering a unique outside in dining experience.  With fabulous views over the Surrey Hills and the Temple of the Winds, warm flame heaters and twinkling fairy lights as the evenings draw in which is available over the weekend and for bespoke parties. We are happy to use the new area of The Duke/Restaurant with fabulous views over the Surrey Hills and the Temple of the Winds for parties however this does incur a room hire charge or minimum spend. The right hand side of the ‘old’ original area of The Duke is perfect for small gatherings of up to 20 people with our open fires, ancient beams and rustic tables. All our functions are tailored to suit you, we don’t have a standard function menu that you choose from, we customise them to each individual party or event.

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.
