Duke of Monmouth

1. I had a lovely visit here today.
   This pub has had a huge refurbishment and now has beautiful outdoor seating area too complete with a huge screen for all your favourite sporting events.

   I had the mixed grill which was perfectly cooked by trainee chef Chris who also covered table service. He did an excellent job!
   There is also a good selection of dining options for children and food is served from 12.00pm to 9.00pm daily.

   It was so good to see bar staff member Jenny and Landlady Ashleigh who provided a warm, friendly and welcoming service in such a relaxing and cosy environment.

   There is ample free parking available at the rear next to the garden. Disabled parking spaces are adequate and easily accessible.
   There is also a bus stop directly in front that takes you straight to the city centre.

   I enjoyed a fabulous steak and a glass of Melbec this afternoon.

   I did wonder what happened to the beautiful display of cakes and pastries. It seemed strange not seeing the creative display 😕

   Our meal was perfectly cooked and served hot and presented well 😋

2. This Venue has a lovely sized garden around the majority of the perimeter, with 2 huge screens outside for sporting events. There are also multiple screens inside if it’s chilly! A friendly vibe(m, with great value food and a wide drinks range suitable for all. Very family friendly with colouring available for little ones.

3. awful experience. the pub itself is lovely but we arrived to 2 extremely miserable girls working behind the bar, no customer service, not even a smile, just making us fully aware on a very quiet Saturday that we’re a huge inconvenience. My partner and I were very kind and polite the entire time, which makes it even worse. the girl behind the bar couldn’t be bothered to wash a cocktail shaker to make a simple cocktail and asked me to come back later to ask for a cocktail. I offered to help her make the cocktail as she didn’t know and her colleague was ignoring her every time she walked past. The 2nd girl that kept ignoring the one behind the bar who was running food was the most unpleasant, had a face like a slapped ass and walked off the bar halfway through serving me and made it very clear she didn’t want to be there, her attitude was disgusting and rude. a word of advice, DON’T work in hospitality if you can’t provide the absolute bare minimum. If you don’t want to be there, don’t be. people are spending your hourly wage on one round, the least you can do is find some kindness within yourselves and make people feel their hard earned money is being well spent. There are also many people that would be really grateful to have your jobs in this current climate, so maybe you can be swapped out for them?

4. Really enjoyed my first visit today. Great atmosphere with locals, tourists, families and pets…Wimbledon on all the TVs. Great outdoor area. Loved the food and the service was top notch. Special call out to Killian THE quintessential barman…efficient, friendly and fun. Coming back Sunday for the football 👍👍

5. Gets a four purely for location. Stunning riverside garden with great sunsets when the weather permits. A fullers pub but with a great selection of guest ales. I don’t like the way the tables are reserved for those eating when the garden is half empty. Punters tend to gamify this system by ordering a plate of fries. Pushes the relatively high spending drinkers to the shade and at the back.
