picture of Duke (of York)Slightly off the beaten track, this gastropub has a local feel and caters for local workers. The pub forms part of a handsome Art Deco building. The striking bar area catches the eye - Formica tables, bold red and black lino flooring - and the dining area is wood panelled with private, dark leather booths: the kind of place you can picture "Wyndham Lewis" sneering at you over lunch. Full marks for the décor then, though the beer selection of continental lagers and the odd ale is slightly less impressive however, the bar snacks are tasty and cheap. Still, when we last looked in, the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, so much so one of the other punters felt moved to take to the piano. Definitely worth a look if you want something a little bit different.
