The Duck and Rice

Eccentric and unconventional, The Duck and Rice takes guests on a trip down Soho and Chinatown nostalgia lane, interweaving their histories to create a complete piece. Nestled on Berwick Street, one of Soho’s most iconic street markets, the pub offers a welcome respite from the bustle while retaining the unapologetic and bold energy that defines the neighbourhood. With its quirky charm, The Duck and Rice pays homage to the Michelin-starred Cantonese cuisine of Alan Yau, reimagined with a fresh take on comfort food. 

The interior, a blend of Victorian pub décor and Asian aesthetics, adds to the restaurant’s distinctive identity. Guests are greeted by the aroma of steaming dumplings and savoury stir-fried dishes, creating a warm, convivial atmosphere. The Duck and Rice thrives on pushing boundaries, offering a mix of timeless Chinese classics such as chop suey and sweet & sour pork, to exciting creations such as Hakka panner or mock chicken with black pepper sauce, the menu is predominantly Chinese with a few Japanese or English twists and outstanding vegan options. 

Perfectly aligned with the legendary neighbourhood, The Duck and Rice celebrates a selection of weekly events, from live sport or Drag Queen Quiz Night, to jazz nights or weekend brunches. With something for everyone, the Duck and Rice is a firm favourite of the restless Soho crowd.
