While visiting friends in Purley, we visited The Dukes Head for Sunday Lunch on the 8th April 2018. We all had the Sunday Roast and it was very special. The service was excellent and the helpings were more than enough with a great assortment of...More

We walked into the pub slightly behind another couple. The hostess checked their reservation, looked at us, and failed to even acknowledge our presence. She escorted the couple to their table, took their order, and cleared wine glasses from their table. She then looked again...More

Back from a nice meal where we had the burger with Stilton and the creme fraiche and leek pie....both very tasty. But having eaten in London yesterday, this did seem rather expensive. Nice layout of chairs, sofas, etc to provide a comfortable environment

Teach your staff to talk properly to customers. We won't return after being made to feel very unwelcome because we hadn't booked. We weren't expecting to pass by. We wanted a break after a very distressing day. Sorry, but your rudeness made things worse. You...More

Unfortunately I never got to sample the menu here as when asked if we had a table booked and we had said no we were told ‘well there is no food for you here then’. Empty bar but was a flat out no to having...More
