we are doing food all day but call around noon & I'll be there to speak with ya

from noon til late on saturdays & noon til 10.30pm on Sundays

As much as I love The Duke. It's been an easy decision to head back to the west end, from Monday as I have my old job back running the members bar & restaurant @ teatro/stanza. The Duke will eventually become the best venue in that area once there's some decent advertising, word of mouth from the locals will get round (& further afield) & there's a landlord that will do things for the locals that are a bit more than normal (things done with a key?) I will always look for The Duke's score on a Saturday & a piece of my heart will remain in Nunhead after I have gone to the wild west end. Good Luck! smokywoods

It's my 2nd last day today & as we have a busy night tomorrow for my last night, hopefully tonight will be a bit better than normal slow friday?

Sean, who is Keef?:)-D

That might border the illegal gambling act but I'm sure we can find a way round it with a prize bought from the entrance money Quiz Night on Sunday evenings to start very soon too

Thanks for your list of possible nights for The Duke, we are hopefully going to be building our reputation around Great Food, Great Drinks & Great Music, but that might change? I hope to see you soon at the best Dining Room & Lounge Bar in Nunhead!!! Yours Sincerely David Taylor (tu)

And finally Parking has never been a problem for us as we're located in a quiet street opposite the school that is still being rebuilt!

Dear Curry Club Members, I'm the new General Manager of The Duke at 57, Nunhead Lane & wanted to offer you the chance to eat a curry at The Duke? we could do you a decent curry option if pre booked, Chicken Jafraizi, Pilau Rice, Naan Bread & all the cobra you like for a score (?20) per head! Mondays would be best for me & how many people are in your club?

Sorry, JFK (Just for kids) we do a Lincolnshire sausage with mash or chips ?5.50, Haddock & chips ?5.50, Macaroni & cheese ?5.50, Vanilla ice cream ?3

The Duke is at 57, Nunhead Lane, Nunhead SE15 3TR & we do food at night from 5pm-10pm Sat & Sun lunch is served from noon til 5pm, so all day Sat & Sunday (noon-8pm) We only do a Roast (Beef, Pork & Veggie) on Sundays at the moment but will be doing a brunch on Saturdays, ?9.95 for 2 courses including a bloody mary (or a bloody shame) starting that on Saturday 11th October 2008. Hopefully we will see you soon?

Excellent, I look forward to hearing from you!

As long as I'm in charge there will always be a cask conditioned ale available, it takes half an hour to an hour to set up the next keg so that would be the only delay with the ales, a bottle alternative will be sourced by myself next week! I do apologise for the problem that you had the last time that you came & introduce yourself the next time please, I'm David by the way

The Duke is a new concept & the crown in the logo has forks & knives as we are trying to push quality food at reasonable prices, I don't think that The Chook of Embra was in mind when the owners re named it? The Duke Dining Room (& Cocktail Lounge from the 7th October 2008)

Gate Crasher from Peckham, at the monent we have one real ale & it takes 48 hours to peg it, settle it then once we start using it we need to have sold it within 5 days, as we're not very busy about 95% of the time there are plenty of problems with real ale & staff morale & possibly when people are employed to serve the public, they don't take it seriously coz they are only here till a better job shows up or they can't be bothered to run down stairs to change the keg? I'm here now & as much as I would love to have 3 or 4 casked ale available for our wonderful guests, we are throwing away more than we sell due to the poor turnout of our locals who love the pub but go to the Nun's Head or Lord Snooty Lane instead but I will try or die trying to make The Duke an Oasis in a desert of Themed Bars or Public Houses The Duke should be mobbed every night, lunchtime & even breakfast as the food here is the best in the area bar none!
