Henley Pub Co has acquired The Duke pub and restaurant on Duke Street through Brakspear in Henley on Thames, as part of its continued growth and is set to open in early December. The pub follows The Royal and The Coachmakers Arms, both in Wallingford.
Located on the corner of Duke Street and Greys Road, the pub and restaurant will be a foodie bolt-hole for locals and visitors to Henley alike. The menu will showcase small plates, using the very best seasonal British ingredients, cooked simply to let the produce shine. Sunday roasts will be a key feature, where guests can expect great seasonal produce. The menus sit neatly alongside a carefully selected wine list, local cask ales, beers and cocktails.
The 2,600 sq ft pub and restaurant is undergoing an extensive refurbishment to create 65 covers, an enhanced bar area, dining room and a small courtyard. The pub will feature Henley Pub Co.’s signature style with a rich colour scheme of naval blues, burgundy and light blue alongside textures that reflect the history of the pub and the local area.
The opening of The Duke brings the total number of pubs operated by Henley Pub Co. to three, and founder Henry Day commented saying: “The Duke is set to be a real foodie destination with the menu changing often to reflect the seasons. I want people to pop in for a really good pub lunch, dinner or Sunday roast with friends and family, or for a quick pint or leisurely glass of wine in the bar and feel like the pub has always been part of Henley life.”
