The Duke
A pub and restaurant based in Islington, located just behind Essex road, on the residential St Peters Street.
The Duke of Cambridge has been certified by the Soil Association since it opened in 1998, meaning all of our food has been organic for 24 years. We serve the freshest seasonal ingredients sourced from local organic farmers and growers. Drinks are also thoughtfully sourced according to our sustainability criteria.
When our first founder Geetie Singh married Guy Watson in 2014, The Duke had a brief stint as a Riverford flagship from 2015 - 2018 (and we still get some of our organic veg and dairy from them too), before The Culpeper Family Hospitality Group acquired The Duke officially from the pair in October 2019, after admiring us from afar.
We aim to provide heartfelt hospitality and great food, all whilst being a genuinely sustainable business in all aspects. Our approach is friendly, open and collaborative, with the team and with our customers. Having a positive impact on our community and the environment has been at the core of our business from the very beginning - and we’re consistently reviewing our practices to be the best we can be.
We are proud to have the highest accreditation of 3* from the Sustainable Restaurant Association.
The Culpeper Family
The Culpeper Family Hospitality Group is on a simple mission to positively impact our world by using hospitality as a force for good - one day, one person, one pint, one (wine) glass, one meal, one smile, one building and rooftop at a time.
We are four pubs and restaurants across East and North London - The Culpeper near Spitalfields, The Buxton on Brick Lane, The Duke of Cambridge in Islington and The Green in Clerkenwell.
