About The Iron Duke, Mayfair
Small shelves of riding boots line the walls at The Iron Duke, a traditional pub on Avery Row in Mayfair. The menu runs to toasties, with the Buffalo Mozzarella, Tomato & Pesto and the Pastrami & Cheddar among the choices, plus Nocellara olives and hummus, and sandwiches arrive with gherkin and olives on the side. Fuller's cask ales are on tap. Food service stops at 5pm, even on weekday evenings, and seating is limited with tables set close together in a small room that gets noisy when busy. The pub opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Sandwiches draw repeat praise, with reviewers highlighting the gherkin and olives pairing and portions large enough to skip a second meal that day. Close behind, the beer earns steady approval, from cask ales to a well-liked stout paired with an ox cheek dish one visitor called a highlight of their trip. Several diners also mention the friendly staff and easy chat with waiters, and one review singles out the air conditioning as a welcome relief on a hot day. A few note the space is small, seating is tight with closely spaced tables, and it can get noisy during after-work hours. One reviewer who booked ahead for a weekday evening found food service had already ended at 5pm despite a menu listing a cheese platter and dips. Most describe leaving satisfied, with one calling their meal outstanding compared to other branches nearby.

“Do you want to drink good stout beer and eat a fabulous ox cheek dish? This is the place. Honestly in 4 days in Scotland this is the best food we've had so far, and definitely a worthy meal even for Mediterranean palates.”
- Alice
“Absolutely brilliant. The beer was great, the atmosphere was fantastic, but the standout was the air conditioning. On one of London’s hot summer days, walking into a place that’s actually cool and fresh made such a difference. It genuinely transformed the experience and was a big reason we stayed longer than we otherwise would have. It was such a relief from the heat. Great drinks, great service, great vibe - we’ll be back for sure.”

“Great local pub with a really friendly atmosphere. Marta and her team are always so welcoming and make you feel right at home. The service is always spot on, the drinks are great, and it's just a lovely place to relax. Always enjoy coming here and would definitely recommend it!”

“Lovely little place. Friendly bar staff. Popped in for quick drinks en route to other destinations. Got a table easily although think this was more luck than anything else. Would go again when in the capital”
- Laura M.
“The prices are fair for the center of London, with prompt service and a nice chat with the waiters. Definitely a great place to experience the Pub and after-work beer culture. The place is quite small and it gets very noisy, so better to …”
