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!

I have been to better pubs on both sides of the Atlantic and I have been to worse. Dog and Duck fits squarely in the middle.
After a long day roaming London, I was looking for a pint or two and a really good traditional pie for supper. I was excited walking up as the after work crowd was hopping and a lot of fun. Went upstairs to eat and it was a totally different vibe. Quieter and laid back. Just what the doctor ordered.
Unfortunately the beer selection wasn't great, it could be because it is affiliated with a brewery chain. The pie was very disappointing. Crust was tough and very little inside the pie.
Will be on the lookout for a better option next time!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 4 Dec 2023
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.

Excellent little pub with some great food and drinks.
Popped in while we were in Chelsea for a bite and ended up staying longer as it was such a great location. Downstairs was full so we went up to the cozy upper floor and took a table. The bar there wasn't open, but we had no issues ordering downstairs and having our food and drinks brought up.
Had the Fuller's caramel seasonal and the wife had the rhubarb lager (which was amazing). We each ordered a pie; I had the steak and ale and she had the chicken. Both were very tasty with plenty of filling in a wonderful crust. The sides of mashed and peas were also quite good.
Definitely a quaint and typical London pub that is worth a visit for drinks, food or both.Helpful 10Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0 - 14 Dec 2022
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!

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!

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.

Super historical pub where a lot of famous people grabbed some bites and a beer. Was excited to try this place out as this was my first ever pub experience. Was a little bit confused on how it worked but I believe that the bottom floor is just bites and alcohol while the top functions as a full restaurant. There's only one lady working there but she is very efficient and friendly.
- Gin + Tonic - First time trying this drink and I liked how refreshing it is and the hints of lemon. Apparently they make this drink very well according to my friends who knows her alcohol but I thought the alcohol bit was too strong for my taste.
- Fish and Chips - At first glance, it seems that there isn't a ton to this dish but you'll soon realize that you will feel extremely full from it. The exterior of the fish is perfectly crispy and not too heavy which I was a bit worried about. The fish itself was extremely tender and went well with the tartare sauce. The pea mush was exactly that, a pea mush. And the chips were pretty good as well. Wish there was a bit more flavor to the dish in general but I guess that's what tartare sauce, lemon, salt, and pepper are for.
Overall, fantastic experience at Dog & Duck. It was a bit pricey, but the food was generally very delicious. Also the interior design of this place is so cute as it seems like a nook for someone who had just finished their hunting excursion. Definitely would come back again just for the decorations.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Julie L.Houston, United States16521614 Jun 2023
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!

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!Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0
