THE DUKE ON THE TEST

The Duke dates back to 1583 when the first hostelry opened on the site, but has now been extensively refurbished and extended to include 12 en-suite bedrooms and a sunroom.

The new owners have dubbed it a ‘historic 16th century Inn, re-imagined for the 21st century’. It has an extended bar and restaurant area for over 90 customers, as well as outside patio space, a double aspect log burner, a snug and library area.

Many of the original features have remained, including oak beams and an inglenook fireplace.

General Manager, Sarah Edom, said: “We are a stone’s throw from the River Test which makes for a stunning location. We are very dog-friendly in the bar with a river walk just a few hundred yards away. The Duke will be serving delicious home-cooked gastropub dishes alongside local real ales and a fabulous selection of wines and spirits.”

“As members of Hampshire Fayre, we embrace all things from the Test Valley region – fresh produce, locally sourced – like Chalk Stream Trout, Black Chalk and Danebury wines, and River Test Gin.”
