- KKaren & Lee25/07/2024Exceptional Wedding Experience! Exceptional Wedding Experience!We recently celebrated our wedding at The Duke’s Head in Putney and couldn't be happier. The venue’s historic charm and riverside location provided a perfect backdrop, but it was Rhys and Rebecca's exceptional service that made our day unforgettable. From the start, Rhys understood our vision and offered inspired ideas, particularly for the table arrangements, creating an intimate and memorable dinner. He and Rebecca went above and beyond on the day, ensuring every detail was perfect!We recently celebrated our wedding at The Duke’s Head in Putney and couldn't be happier.

- SSophie & Nick24/06/2017Post wedding receptionPost wedding receptionWe had a post wedding reception dinner in the Wolsey room for 45 people which Sofia had helped us organise. We were able to choose our menu and pre order so that the food would be ready for our arrival. The setting was relaxed and we had an informal table plan which can't have been easy for the staff but everything was done without a fuss, we ate really well and we were met with smiles all the way through. Thanks to Sofia and the staff. The evening couldn't have gone any better. We were able to wander about freely in the room and by the river and it was a fantastic way to celebrate with our families. Thanks very much to the Duke's Head for all your care. I would recommend this place to anyone for functions of a similar kind.We had a post wedding reception dinner in the Wolsey room for 45 people which Sofia had helped us organise.

- NNicola23/12/2016Attentive, professional and friendlyAttentive, professional and friendlyWe had a lovely 3 course lunch upstairs in the beautiful Woolsey Room at the Dukes Head to celebrate our Wedding. The room was the perfect size for our 30 guests and the food was delicious. Sofia helped us diligently before the event and the bar staff and servers on the day were excellent; attentive, professional and friendly, willing to accommodate all requests. Would recommend a large party here, but equally we will be back for a quiet pint and bite to eat!We had a lovely 3 course lunch upstairs in the beautiful Woolsey Room at the Dukes Head to celebrate our Wedding.

- JJackie R.05/11/2016Second to noneSecond to noneOur son and his new wife got married here. The service was second to none and nothing was too much trouble. The ceremony was held on the top floor, the reception on the next floor down - all overlooking the river, and the evening party was held in The Boathouse at ground level, opening out onto the small terrace. All very convenient! The food was excellent - you need to try their wild boar sausages. The next day all the trappings from the party were ready for us to collect. Jake and the rest of the staff deserve a medal - they were on duty all day on Saturday and Jake was there early on Sunday morning clearing up from the night before, with a smile in his face If you are looking for a relaxed wedding in convivial surroundings look at The Duke's Head - you won't regret it !Our son and his new wife got married here.
