The Duke Of Sussex in Acton

Ah, The Duke of Sussex – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its warm, historic charm and that hint of Spanish flair in the menu. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the staff are absolute stars, always greeting you with a smile and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really sets the tone for a great night out. The food's a highlight too; think fresh, seasonal dishes like delicious tapas or a cracking Sunday roast that leaves you satisfied but maybe a tad overwhelmed by the portions – I've heard a few mates say they'd love smaller plates to avoid any waste. The beer selection is spot on, with real ales and wines that pair perfectly, and don't forget the lovely beer garden for when the weather's on your side. It's family and dog-friendly, so it's versatile for all sorts of occasions, whether it's a quick pint after a walk or a proper meal with friends. On the downside, it can get pretty lively and packed, which is brilliant for the buzz but not so much if you're hoping for a peaceful spot. Overall, it's a solid choice in Chiswick – worth a visit for the good vibes and tasty bites, just keep an eye on those portion sizes if you're not up for a challenge!
