The ViewLondon Review
The Duke of Cambridge is a friendly, relaxed pub - you’d be proud to call it your local.
The Venue
The Duke of Cambridge can be found along Battersea Bridge Road, a short walk from Battersea Park. Although light and airy, there is a cosy feel to the pub. During the winter, an open fire burns next to inviting leather sofas. There’s a mixture of sofas and armchairs as well as high dining tables and smaller tables tucked around quiet corners. The walls are lined with books so there’s plenty to keep you occupied if you come alone or are waiting for friends.
Although food is served throughout the pub, there is a separate dining area and a private dining room that can accommodate up to eighteen people with high chairs available. At the weekend, make a booking if you want to guarantee a good table for lunch. There is more seating on the front patio (with heaters) - it’s a popular spot during summer months.
The Atmosphere
Relaxed and friendly with just the right amount of rowdiness on a Friday night. The Duke of Cambridge is a popular place for local families, professionals and sports teams meeting up after events at Battersea Park.
For entertainment, board games are available and they hold regular nights here like their Sunday acoustic nights or quiz events every Wednesday.
The Food
You can enjoy a well presented and comprehensive menu Monday to Saturday at the Duke of Cambridge. Platters are a favourite for sharing (deli, pizza, BBQ and sausage feast boards are available for around £10). Sandwiches on fresh bread are served with slightly crispy, chunky chips (£5-£7). Other mains (£9-£11) include fish pie, steak, salads and Youngs traditional pies.
The Sunday Roast (£10-£15) is a popular choice. Meat options include beef, lamb shank or half a chicken. All are served with vegetables, potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding. The beef is a little dry but full of flavour, the vegetables (beans, carrots and cauliflower) have a good crunch and potatoes are well roasted but not crispy (may disappoint serious roast potato connoisseurs). The aubergine cannelloni stuffed with pesto, mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes is a good vegetarian and lighter option. The strong sun dried tomato flavour dominates.
For dessert, apple crumble and custard is generously served - a solid layer of crumble accompanied by slightly sour apple covered with sweet custard means you’ll need a sofa to recline in afterwards.
The Drink
Surely a beer for everyone - Fosters, Kronenbourg, Red Stripe, Nastro Azzurro and Youngs beer and bitter are all available on draught. The average cost of a pint is £3.50. Red, white and rose wines range from £13-£25 per bottle - the Argentinean Malbec is full bodied but easy to drink. The wine list also includes a good Prosecco (around £25 per bottle).
The Last Word
The Duke of Cambridge provides a great setting to enjoy drinks and good food with friends and family.
