    New arrival, and one to watch in Henley. Very pleasant and helpful staff, interesting and beautifully presented menu and the first time I’ve ever been invited by a chef to visit the kitchens!! Most impressive, and well worth a second visit.

    Great dinner at the Duke… the food portions are very small even considering they are tapas style, so would have liked to see them a touch bigger but everything we ate was delicious especially the prawns, pork belly and lasagna. Shortage of lactose free dishes sadly so one of my friends could not eat very much but perhaps this will come with time. The cocktails were amazing and service was very good and attentive. Music got turned up quite loud towards the end of our dinner and even us, a table of 30 year olds were struggling to hear each other speak, but I do understand the need to try and please all. Will definitely go back!

    Good food. Lovely service. A bit chilly and noisy with people coming in and out for a smoke.

    We tried The Duke last night for the first time and loved it - the tapas style menu was really flavoursome, an exciting and interesting combination of choices, well presented and ideal for a social sharing occasion. Cocktails were top notch too! We sat at the bar stools which was great for soaking in the buzz. It was busy and deservedly so. The best of all though was our South African waiter Xander - he was attentive, polite and looked after us excellently. Thank you Xander! We will be back…how about some live music at some point? Henley has a great new venue in town!
    The DukeResponded on February 12, 2025
    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased you loved your first visit to The Duke—the tapas-style menu is all about bringing people together over exciting flavors, so it's great to hear it hit the mark. Our bartenders will be thrilled you enjoyed the cocktails too! We'll make sure to pass your kind words on to Xander and we are looking forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best regards, Jason Herrington

    Good quality food, interesting dishes, however, some were a little over-seasoned, too salty, and overall it just felt a little overpriced.

We appreciate your comments on the seasoning and pricing, and we’ll be sure to share them with our kitchen team.
