Dog & Duck

The restaurant is up stairs and quaint with only 6 tables and 4 of those are for two. I started with a glass of Malbec and my partner got a Camden Yards lagger. I got the shepherds Pie and my Partner got the Chicken Oyster mushroom pie. The Pies are great!

Love this pub. I can only speak to the food served upstairs from the kitchen of this very old, small and cozy establishment. I went straight upstairs to the dining area and had an amazing beef pie. It was on the daily special menu. And it was excellent. Really nicely done pie (beef rib & brisket) with a very light and flaky delicious crust. Lovely potatoes and carrots to accompany. Excellent service, kind people. Perfect place to grab some pub food on a cold night.

We had lunch here right after they opened up for the day. Very sweet lady behind the bar. Good beer selection. Great ambience. Good bangers & mash. Excellent chicken schnitzel. Put this one on your list when in London.

Our family stopped by for dinner after a long day of sightseeing. We went upstairs and were greeted by our fantastic server Linda. The small dining room was packed. However, Linda quickly made arrangements to seat us. The food, like the service, was top-notch! The Steak and Ale pie and the burger were delicious. The atmosphere was casual with nice views of the area for people-watching.

Such a fun and quaint pub! We stumbled upon it during a Soho Pub tour! So glad we did. Also- perhaps the only pub in town that serves Rosie's Rhubarb Cider which my daughter fell in love with on our trip to London. Check it out!

I had a quick stop here to grab some food and quick drink. Linda served me and was incredibly sweet an very accommodating for my stay. For food, I had the Chicken, bacon and avocado salad which was quite refreshing. I would definitely recommend stopping here while you're in London!

Exactly what I expect from an English Pub. Great food, looks popular, and taps to select are just a few of the reasons that I would go back.

George Orwell would be pleased to know that this pin has honored him with and a plaque. I'm not sure how many places have fish and chips in London and I'm not sure if they are all as good as this place. What I can say is the fish and chips blew my mind. So dang good. I also had a pint or maybe two. Just a fun place to have a quick bite and some beer.

Quaint little pub in Soho. Some seating is available if you're lucky (we were). Otherwise, people stand outside.

Food was very good. I had the steak and ale pie.

Service was friendly. When they didn't have fanta, someone suggested lemonade with orange. Excellent!

Love it!

Tally-Ho! I need to put my two-pence in and say my experience at Dog & Duck was mind-blowing! Absolutely the most delightful Fish 'n Chips on this planet! I've had Fish 'n Chips the world over, but nothing beats Fish 'n Chips in London! And Dog & Duck does it right! Dog & Duck was one of the first places I bookmarked when I knew I was staying in SOHO, west-end of London. So I had a blind date with Dog & Duck before she knew it! ;)

Located in the SOHO district (there's a another location elsewhere) it was only a few blocks from my doorstep. As I approached I noticed the familiar Dog & Duck sign! And personally it's the best sign I've seen in my lifetime! Okay, maybe I am getting overly excited, but I love patina and the Victorian era, and this pub has been serving Londoners since the 1873! I wonder if Jack the R. had a chip here? Hmm, I can say George Orwell and Madonna were regulars! I walk up Victorian steps *creak creak*...

I enter to an empty restaurant and a friendly face. I am greeted by Anna: the Bartender, the Waitress, the Host. She's all of the above and now my new friend. She hands me the menu and mentions how slow it is w/ the breaking news of the pandemic now hitting Europe. Typically Londoners are filling the seats and drinking on the pub sidewalks! Not today.. as the hysteria started to trickle-in.

I start my order with a glass of local brew from the tap! Camden Town it is! I order the Nicholson's Fish 'n Chips for my drooling self. Anna places the order and returns to me to chit-chat. We discuss almost everything under the British sun, from politics to the royal family, to London beers, to traveling. I did notice Anna had a non-English accent I just couldn't place. Hmm. Unless it was a strong Cockney accent? Perhaps Gaelic? Heck she's Polish! Oops! Lol! And before you know it... my lunch is served!

The Fish 'n Chips was a work of art to my hungry eyes! Golden brown pieces of Fillet of Haddock (better than cod!), hand-battered in Nicholson's Pale Ale, served with perfectly fried Chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. My first bite was heaven... so was my last... so delicious! I also came for Sticky Toffee Pudding or Elton Mess for dessert, but I couldn't fit another bite into my jeans. I guess rugby shorts would be best next time;P

In the end, this was my favorite meal in London! It was classic British made with the finest. The local beer was a perfect pairing for such comfort food! Alas!... my only regret.. not having enough Winston in my pants for more! Anna is a great face for Dog & Duck! Happy to call her my friend on my journey in this lifetime! 'til next time! Cheers!

Oh! And did you know the founder was a Distiller, politician, cricket player, benefactor! Pretty NEAT! Ta!
