01 — Brief

Countryside soul, brought online.

The Iron Duke is a quintessential English village pub nestled in the heart of Stratfield Saye, Hampshire, on the historic Wellington Estate. Much-loved by locals and visitors alike, the pub has been thoughtfully restored and combines deep countryside character with a warm, welcoming atmosphere — the kind of place where the fire’s always on and the welcome is always genuine.

The website needed to capture that distinctive character online: somewhere between heritage and hospitality. We built a cinematic WordPress site that showcases the pub’s setting, food and drink offering, and function hire capabilities — making it easy for guests to plan a visit or get in touch.

The Iron Duke

A quintessential English village pub on the Wellington Estate in Stratfield Saye, Hampshire. Thoughtfully restored, steeped in history, and known for its genuine countryside welcome.

The challenge

The Iron Duke’s character — its warmth, history, and deep sense of place — needed to translate to screen without losing what makes it special. A cinematic site had to do more than look the part: it needed to showcase the pub’s setting, serve up-to-date menus, promote events and private dining, and make it genuinely easy for guests to plan a visit or get in touch.
