The Dog And Duck

The Dog and Duck is a Soho pub that has kept its original features intact. The walls carry thousands of glazed tiles, and there is mahogany panelling and decorative mirrors throughout. It is often counted among the finest period interiors of any pub in London. This is just a pub in name only; the room itself is part of the appeal.

The food matches the setting. The kitchen is known for proper pints and pies, with starters such as Pulled Duck Croquettes and Garlic Mushrooms on Sourdough. The draw, though, is the cask ale: an ever-changing range that includes the pub's own Nicholson's Pale Ale, brewed for it by St Austell Brewery in Cornwall. It is a good match for the British pub fare on the menu.
