The Duchy Arms - London

During our stay in Vauxhall, we visited the Duchy Arms for dinner and drinks. The vegan sausage, mash, and cabbage with gravy was incredibly tasty. The staff were all wonderful and made us feel right at home. We would definitely come back if we are ever in the area again.

I tried the vegan wellington roast on a Sunday and found it to be delicious and satisfying. The meal was hearty and comforting, perfect for a chilly day. The pub itself was also charming and welcoming.

Went to Duchy Arms expecting a handful of standard pub began options, was delighted to see so many home favourites such as pizza and nachos. It’s a quiet pub but with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere!

I stopped for lunch at this restaurant with a friend who eats everything. The menu had clear indications of the many vegan options available, such as vegan mozzarella for all pizzas, vegan nachos, and a halloumi burger. The special of the day was a falafel burger, which my omni friend enjoyed. I opted for a delicious vegan burger made with chickpeas and sweetcorn, accompanied by some of the best chips I've ever had - thick cut, crispy on the outside, and perfect texture. The staff were friendly, and we dined in the empty outside garden while a few people watched cricket inside. I would definitely recommend this place!

There 's no doubt The Duchy has come to life once again. Food and service is great. The place is an absolute gem, being a traditional English pub so near to the bustle of central London life but a world apart from that bustle, being what we Brits call a Local ; just south of the River Thames. Sunday lunch in a homely, cosy pub is always a relaxing experience before the new week fires up. So why 3 stars? Whether you 're a local or on holiday (at the increasing number of Airbnb 's in Kennington) it remains an irritation about sneaky mark ups on that nice bottle of wine the two of you want to share with the food. That 's the significant down side to the current business model for the beloved Duchy. Take one example, a bottle of Cotes du Rhone Village Les Coteaux; shown in my photo as £10.99 wholesale. Sold to accompany your lovely meal in the Duchy at £31. That 's a mark up of 182%. Let 's hope the current management team wise up to that not being realistic in a Kennington Pub (yes it 's the industry average for Mayfair /Shard /Battersea Power Station/ Knightsbridge/ Kings Road) but not for our little Gastropub in Kennington. So let 's crack on and sort that out.
