Cask was TT LL from two handpumps, the other two handpumps being non dispensing. Keg offering was Neck Oil, Carlsberg, Guinness, original SB, Fosters, Moretti, Cruz, Stella.

This is a quite small local on a residential street. The bar counter is on the left-hand side of the venue with tall stool seating along the length of the bar counter. The venue is carpeted with a tartan pattern, a bench along the wall opposite the bar counter and regular tables, with a fire grate in the rear right-hand corner. There is a drinking ledge in the rear left-hand corner with some tall stools to sit at. The walls have some framed pictures of local scenes. Out the back there is a small, paved beer garden, including some covered seating. Not one of the leading lights but a pleasant neighbourhood venue.

Present by the 1860s, this pub is situated at the less affluent end of Hoppers Road.
The interior is pleasantly traditional and unpretentious, with a tartan carpet, sympathetic furniture, quality bar array and pot shelf with brown grained wainscoting to burgundy walls; décor comprised old photos of the area. What few customers were in at the time of my Wednesday 9.00pm visit were indeed older and very blokey and inexplicably there was an omnipresent strong smell of sweaty feet; the largely unwatched Villa v. Freiburg match played at volume.
Cap’n N21 will be pleased to learn that there’s now TTL – the pub’s a Member of the Timothy Taylor Champion Club – thereafter two unused pumps. The TTL was very good, £3.10 a half, served by a friendly barmaid; thereafter there was your typical fizzocracy and Guinness.
Not bad and a decent surviving example of a traditional pub, but the ale choice is limited, foot odour abundant and the loud sport made conversation difficult; I would still take the King’s Head over this place.

Sadly the long term Irish Guvnor passed away in late 2022 and the pub hasn’t been the same since. The managers brought in since then have had no interest in real ale or maintaining the community feel the Dog and Duck was famous for. The four hand pumps stand empty on the bar and Beavertown Neck Oil is the closest thing you will find nowadays. The weekly quiz nights are long gone and key sporting events do not attract the crowds they used to under the former landlord. It’s all a bit sad really.
The pub interior still remains a thing of beauty and it’s worth popping in to see that if in the area, just don’t expect a real ale.
