Dukes Head Inn

You're walking down The Vineyard in Richmond, that stretch where the neighbourhood proper starts to feel like somewhere worth lingering, and you'll spot Dukes Head tucked in amongst the residential charm. Inside, it's got that warm, lived-in feeling — the kind of place where the bar staff know regulars by name and the menu changes with the seasons rather than the marketing calendar. The food is straightforward pub fare done well (proper burgers, decent pies, fish and chips that actually tastes like fish), and they take their beer selection seriously without being insufferable about it. It's the sort of pub you'd genuinely want to be a regular at.
