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.

What a fun evening. We sat upstairs and took in some super tasty pub food. The staff were attentive and took care of all our needs. What a classic pub experience!!

Located in central Soho, Dog and Duck is a fun place to have a pint. We stood outside in early November, and it was a little brisk, but they have heat lamps (if you're lucky enough to get near one). I'm revealing the American in me here, but the fact that they allow you to bring real glassware out on the street blows my mind. So civilized!

"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius" - Sherlock Holmes 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!

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.

Our favorite Dog and Duck drinks! Rosie's and Prosecco!

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!

Sticky Toffee & Date Pudding - YUM!!!

Sadly, it took us forever to find The Dog & Duck, wandering through rain & wet streets. But when we finally found it, we immediately got a table in the corner of the cozy upstairs and knew it was worth the search. Hubby & I shared the Fillet Steak Sandwich (pan-fried fillet steak and caramelised onion chutney served with with skin-on chips (fries)) & the chicken/bacon sandwich (grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on toasted farmhouse bread with a side salad) and, of course, the Sticky Toffee & Date Pudding. Everything was fantastic - especially the dessert! Light & fluffy and served with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream. Simple and wonderful. nom nom nom. Oh, right, the sandwiches... The fillet steak was messy but flavorable. The chicken/bacon was bigger and was a club (it had an extra slice of bread in the middle that we didn't expect). The waitress brought us the smallest cup of ketchup ever for our chips - we are huge ketchup people and really could have used more. She was ridiculously busy - the room was packed and she was the only server - but was very nice. Even though we didn't get any beers or wine (I know, sacrilege!). I would DEFINITELY go back here! Everything on the menu looked fantastic and the prices are so reasonable - even in pounds!

Dog & Duck is a cute pub in soho. It has a small interior, so everyone just hangs out along the street. Minus the fact that you have nowhere to put your drink, I found this to be really fun; it seems several of the other pubs in the area have the same situation going on, so the streets are packed with people (on a nice night*) and it looks like one big party.

Flew in on a Sunday and arrived at my hotel around noon. Immediately went to the concierge to see…read moreif he could secure me a spot since I had zero luck trying to get a reservation on line for two weeks prior. Remarkable, he scored and I literally walked around the corner and saw the long line to get into the pub first. I was seated immediately, however, and proceeded to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast. Room was very pleasant (there are so many I got lost returning to my table from a bio brake. Roast was very good ( but no Lawry's) and the sides excellent. Could not decide if my favorite was the roast potatoes (crispy outside soft inside) or the glazed carrots. Yorkshire pudding was good but again, I am to used to the Lawry's and this is a different style. Peas were, well, peas, but very fresh. The sticky toffee cake was excellent and the Guinness fresh, creamy and a proper pour. Good thing because the selection of winners by the glass and half bottles of wine were both a little thin. Overall wine list was good but I was alone and not up for drinking a full bottle by myself. Overall, very enjoyable and to judge by the crowd and difficulty in getting a reservation, one of the more popular in town.

The history alone makes it worth visiting, and the location is perfect if you're exploring the area. It feels very classic London in the best way. We stopped in for a pint and honestly... the whole after-work beer culture over there is something I really need to bring back with me to the States. The beer was great, the atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and it just felt like one of those places where people naturally gather and stay awhile. Definitely worth stopping into if you're in the area.

Two story space - the ground floor feature the bar and handles walk in lunch; the upstairs is a dining room for those with reservations. Fun fact, as part of the history, the pub used to be the host of bare knuckle fights and had regulars like Charles Dickens. Wildfarmed sourdough - served with whipped salted butter and Guinness butter. Well toasted bread and the butters with salt were well made. Fuller's London Pride marinated steak and ale pie - served with seasonal veggies and red wine gravy, as well as either mash potatoes or triple cooked chips. If there is one dish London does really well, it's their pies. It was beautifully made and loaded with steak. The red wine gravy was decadent and added a perfect amount of moisture to the pie. Triple cooked chips were perfectly crispy but fluffy on the inside. Corn fed chicken breast - served with garlic and sage butter, mash potato, cavolo nero, and crispy onions. Only took a bite of this as it was my partner's dish but the bite of chicken I had was very juicy and well seasoned.
