Dukes Head

This restaurant is now under new management and has an excellent menu especially for all you fish lovers. It would appear little upgrading of the interior has been done but the garden has had a makeover - lots of gravel about - pleased I wasn't wearing my stilettos! There is a terrace area which can cater for wheelchairs. The chef is very creative and has a very interesting menu - all kinds of fish dishes including Mudeford Lobster, Isle of Wight Cock Crab, Cornish Monkfish but no local Test Trout! There are meat and vegetarian dishes also. We chose from their bar menu prices ranging from £7 - £10. We all enjoyed our choices and the main menu has a fantastic selection from £10-£15 unless you're going for the Lobster at £25 or the Fruits de Mer at £27 - sounds great doesn't it? I did however feel there was a lack of attention once we were served our meals, and our plates were never cleared (we were there until after 3.pm!) nor were we offered any dessert or coffee. I had the feeling they have few staff on at lunchtime and sadly it wasn't very busy for a Friday lunchtime.
