The Duke of Sussex SE15 — Restaurant in London

🚇 Queens Road Peckham 🍺 £5.70 Cruzcampo

The Duke of Sussex is located in a quiet backstreet, not far from the Old Kent Road in Peckham. The nearest station is Queens Road Peckham overground, it’s a ten minute walk to get here.

The original pub on this site was built in 1836, the pub you see today is Edwardian, built 1906 by Courage brewery.

This is a one bar pub with a centrally located servery with a snug at either end of the bar. The decor is traditional with neutral tones and a punch of colour here and there. The seating is a mix of low level tables and chairs, high level poser tables and stools and a couple of comfy Chesterfields to settle into. Around the walls are a number of prints, trinkets,beer signs and a couple of TV’s. One of the stand out features of this pub is the original Courage back bar with backlit lettering. At the side of the pub is a partially covered beer garden with decking.

The beer selection offers a host of familiar favourites, London craft and one cask ale. I decided on a Cruzcampo, my pint was great, price point was less than average. The food menu consists of traditional pub grub, burgers, pizzas and Sunday roasts.

I arrived just before 1pm on a showery Saturday lunchtime in August. The pub had a dozen or so friendly punters in attendance, most of whom were keenly watching the Hull v Millwall game. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with a laidback local pub feel. The service was on point, the chap behind the ramp was welcoming and courteous.

This pub is great if you’re a sports fan and shows Sky Sports and TNT, there is also a Pub Quiz on a Tuesday. They also except @city_stack beer mats to get a discount.

Visiting the @thedukeofsussexse15 was a very pleasant experience indeed. This is a lovely local community pub which I felt very at home in. The locals were friendly, the beer was reasonably priced, the surroundings traditional and the welcome warm. This is a superb independent pub, well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I was in the Duke of Sussex during sunday roast service. Although I didn't get said roast I perused the menu and, seeing several come out during my stay, remarked on the low prices.

The Manchester derby was on tv; there was a lively atmosphere with support being offered for both teams by the patrons.

The pub itself was down to earth but still nicely decorated and looked after. Service here was warm, attentive, and friendly.

Although I only had a lime & soda, some crisps & a half of murphys, the 1.5 hours I spent here on a Sunday afternoon has inspired me to bring friends back to sample the roast when they are available, it seemed like a...

I have never experienced worse service in my life. I was ordering and asked the waitress - I believe her name was Kelly, to please ask the kitchen to make sure the gravy is hot. She replied; ‘ Do I look like I’m in the kitchen?’ I could see and smell that she had been drinking. So I said to her; ‘you are my only communication to the kitchen. I’m ordering my food with you’ She then started to go back and forth with me and as we had already paid I just sat down and we left quickly.

I have never felt so uncomfortable and will never...
