About This Pub
Ah, The Duchess – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its warm, traditional vibe on Goldhawk Road, perfect for unwinding after a wander around Ravenscourt Park. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, it's got this lovely community spirit, where you can enjoy a cracking Sunday roast or join in on quiz nights and Drag Bingo for a laugh with mates. The outdoor areas are a treat, especially with all those beautiful blooms making it feel fresh and inviting. But let's be straight, it's not all roses; some folks have mentioned the service could do with a bit more cheer, and there are whispers that things have slipped a tad since the management changed, with food quality not always hitting the mark. Still, with a solid 4.4 rating overall, it's clear this place does a lot right, like offering great value and a buzzing atmosphere that keeps people coming back. If you're heading out for a casual evening, I'd say give it a go – it's got that heartwarming pub charm, but just keep expectations balanced for the best experience.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The atmosphere is absolutely cosy and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you step in – it's like a proper community hub in Hammersmith.
-
They've got brilliant outdoor spaces with gorgeous blooms, ideal for families, couples, or a catch-up with friends on a sunny day.
-
The food is a real highlight, especially the Sunday roasts; reviewers rave about how tasty they are, and the prices are spot on for a good meal.
-
Loads of fun events like quiz nights, Drag Bingo, and live music keep things lively and give you plenty of reasons to pop back.
-
Some of the staff are top-notch – super polite and communicative, which really adds to the enjoyable experience.
Cons
-
Service can be a bit hit or miss; while some staff are brilliant, others might not crack a smile, which takes the edge off an otherwise great visit.
-
A few folks have noticed a dip in quality since the management changed, with the menu not quite living up to its former glory, so it might not be as reliable as it once was.
-
The overall vibe is good, but if you're after something consistently outstanding, it could fall short on the finer details like food consistency or that extra warmth in service.

It’s a good looking pub with wonderful outdoor spaces both in the front and in the back. Lots of gorgeous blooms. Certainly a nice pub for families, couples, and group of friends.
The Sunday roast was tasty. I had roast beef £20.
The service could use a bit of a smile.
Wonderful place! The atmosphere is excellent! Outstanding service! We were served by Harsh, Ben and Arla, all polite, communicative, positive! 11 out of 10! Will visit again. Special complements to the chef, the plates were arranged beautifully and the food was super tasty!
I used to love this place a few years ago. The menu was amazing, and the food was delicious. However, since they changed the management, the quality of all has really declined. If you’re just looking for a spot to grab a beer and don't mind the change, it's not the worst option. The place is clean, and the atmosphere is still nice
Had a wonderful time here with @londonsmarrieddragduo Drag Bingo!
The ambience was cosy and fun, food was excellent, and the drinks priced were reasonable. Will definitely come back for Sunday Roast!
My husband and I recently came here a couple times on our London vacation. Our AIRBNB was right around the corner. I want to give a shoutout to Maya who was so sweet and a joy to get to talk to. They had really good daily deals. Food was good and beer was too.
