This is a wonderful pub, full of character and very cosy.

Odd but interesting little pub, a step back to in decoration to a Victorian era. Adorned to a wall some details consuming Orwell whom enjoyed a drink here. Pleasant enough staff, reasonably busy but managed to grab a table late on a Friday which wasn't bad going. Few decent bars on tap and a good place for people watching. Will be back.

What a find! Quiet small room upstairs of the pub. We had a lovely view out a bay window. We ordered scotch eggs, chicken mushroom pie, and short rib and brisket pie. All was so tasty! Kind and efficient waiter. Would definitely eat here again.

One of the best traditional pubs! Nice food and a lot of drinks. Prices are fair. I like it a lot. Not to forget, try the Black Angus pie! 🥧 It is superb!

Very good Soho Nicholson's pub on the corner of Bateman Street and Frith Street. Five cask beers - and one cider - on handpump when I last visited. Lots of covered standing room outside.

The Dog and Duck has been identified by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA}) as having a nationally important historic pub interior. It has some great advertising mirrors and lovely tile work.

Very busy when we visited but quick service made it manageable.

I booked a table for lunch today and I'm so glad I did. This charming little pub was clearly one to visit and seemed popular with others.

The food was lovely, fresh and piping hot. The service was excellent and we loved the atmosphere. Our server was a lovely, funny Irish lady who had an excellent rapport with everyone in the restaurant and brightened our day!

Cannot recommend this little gem enough!! It's definitely one to visit.

This is a wonderful pub, full of character and very cosy.
I ate upstairs in the small dining room where there is also a bar.
I'll definitely drink here again.
