Lively neighborhood pub known for stone-fired pizzas, friendly staff, and games, with some polarizing recent feedback on management tone and pizza quality changes; good value with frequent deals.
The Duke of Deptford delivers reliable neighborhood pub dining anchored by strong pizza quality and genuinely friendly, attentive service. However, documented quality shifts after recent team changes—thicker crusts and spicier sauces noted by returning locals—prevent a higher grade, while moderate review authenticity concerns create some uncertainty in the assessment. The cozy multi-room setting with games and quiz nights appeals to regulars seeking casual, unpretentious dining rather than destination-level experiences.
One caveat: Pizza consistency debated by some recent locals (breadier crust, hotter sauce)
