Putney’s Riverside Classic
The Duke’s Head has that rare combination of historic charm and modern energy that makes you want to make it your regular spot. The riverside location is unbeatable, especially in summer when you can sip a spritz while watching the Thames flow by. Their Sunday roast is genuinely one of the best in Putney—generous portions, proper Yorkshire puddings, and meat that’s actually tender. It gets packed on race days and during big sports events, but that’s part of the appeal; you’re here for the atmosphere as much as the food. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they’re at capacity.

Le Duke’s Head allie charme historique et énergie moderne, ce qui en fait un lieu où l’on a envie de revenir régulièrement. L’emplacement au bord de la Tamise est idéal, surtout en été quand on peut siroter un spritz en regardant le fleuve. Le dimanche, le roast dinner est vraiment l’un des meilleurs de Putney : des portions généreuses, des yorkshires bien gonflés et une viande tendre. Les jours de course ou de grands matchs, l’endroit est bondissant, mais c’est justement ce qui fait son charme. Le service est convivial et efficace, même quand l’affluence est maximale.
