| The Dog & duck is one of those increasingly rare things these days, a locals pub, a friendly pub, a traditional pub all combined within a London suburban environment. Its as close as you are likely to get to being in a country pub in a city. Better still you get a devoted manager who takes not only his job seriously but links it to sustaining the immeasurable value that atmosphere has to the pubs success. Small pubs like this are usually the first to be considered unsustainable but you see here how the right approach and friendly dedicated staff who rarely seem to change can bet the odds and show the way for others. The beer is always good, the screens, even when showing various sports not too obtrusive, the garden a delight on a summer's afternoon and a wonderful round of sandwiches on a Saturday just adds the cherry to a great pub experience. There is nothing quite like it in the area. spyinthesky - 11 Nov 2009 13:48 |
| Visited again yesterday lunchtime with no1 Son who was treating me to a fathers day pint. The Hopback Summer lightning was top notch and a good job they do not do food on Sundays or that would have been me in for the rest of the day. Gann - 22 Jun 2009 11:57 |
| This is a great pub with friendly clientele and even friendlier staff. The Landlord was very good and Summer Lightening and Greene King IPA were also available although the 6X was off. There are a couple of plasma screens for the Sky and Setanta and there is also a projector screen over the front window that was rolled up during my visit. Out the back is located a very nice beer garden that will be great during the summer months. This place is exactly how a back street boozer should be and long may it remain so.

| Gann, parking is not normally as bad as you seem to have experienced - it's a good local, well kept ales and the guvnor Don "Donnacha" is one of the best. senny - 23 Dec 2008 17:54 |
| Wonderful back street local boozer for local people. (local, because you have to walk to it as there's no chance of parking anywhere near it in its residential setting of Hoppers road. ) One bar pub with a nice beer garden out the back, which has now found a new lease of life post smoking ban. I stopped going here because for a non-smoker I used to find the pub got too foggy due to its small size. But now there's nothing to stop the enjoyment of the excellently kept ales, which on this evening were Timothy Taylor's landlord, Green King IPA, and Wadsworth 6X. A small piece of heaven in N21...
