The Iron Duke

The Iron Duke is a quintessential English pub in the village of Stratfield Saye, Hampshire.

Nestled in the heart of the historic Wellington Estate, this much-loved local has been thoughtfully restored, steeped in tradition with plenty of countryside character.

Whether you are stopping by for a light lunch with friends, Sunday Roast, or a pint after a walk with the dog, you’ll find wholesome food, real ales, and village charm.

The Iron Duke takes its name from the 1st Duke of Wellington and stands proudly within the Wellington Estate, a landscape steeped in history and still home to the 9th Duke today.

The building once served as a workers’ building for estate staff and has been lovingly brought back to life in 2025 with a thoughtful renovation.

While the character and charm of the original pub remain intact, the new Iron Duke is a cosy space for locals, visitors, families, and food-lovers alike.

Surrounded by rolling Hampshire countryside in the village of Stratfield Saye, just a short drive from Reading and Basingstoke, The Iron Duke is the kind of place you come across once and keep coming back to.

Expect generous lunches, hearty evening meals and traditional Sunday roasts.

Freshly prepared from common local produce that changes with the seasons.

Behind the bar, they feature a rotating selection of guest ales, familiar favourites, local gins, and a carefully chosen wine list that reflects their love for tradition, craft, and quality.
