As part of the series highlighting the people that run our local pubs and bars, we went to visit Chesterfield’s new pub The Duke, on the famous Brampton Mile.

We caught up with owner Santiago Perez to hear about how he’s transformed the Chatsworth Road bar with a refurb and new name – and what is making it so popular with locals in Brampton, as well as visitors from across the UK!

Owner Santi Perez relaunched the Duke after a refurb and giving the Brampton Mile bar a new name and identity.
