Dog and Duck in Wokingham

Excellent service on a busy Karaoke night .. bar staff excellent Nicole , Joe and priyanka were exceptional at keeping up with amazing service . We all had a great night especially as we were not there for the singing the staff did not let us down . Hannah , zoe and Sam x x

This is now our go to venue. Very visible landlady and landlord, always very welcoming and friendly. They work hard, talk to all their guests and clearly shows as the place is buzzing. Delicious food cooked on site and made to order. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

A Christmas meal before the Christmas quiz. Very friendly greeting. Great service and an excellent meal. Six of us with food coming out for all of us at the same time - hot food, too. No problem dealing with my dairy intolerance either

After trying the other local pub with food, we were told to try here instead. Well, whilst this place is certainly better maintained than the other local, it's still just as expensive. Decided to try the roast dinner. Wish I hadn't. What justifies the prices here? It's incredibly expensive for what tastes like packet food. The meat was full of fat and gristle. The potatoes were soggy. Veg was cold and the gravy was thin and unpleasant. Seems like the old saying too many cooks applies here. The one redeeming feature was the staff are friendly. It was so cold in there we kept our coats on. No Sports on TV, apparently the TV is broken. Not sure what it is about pubs in this suburb. You'd think they were in the middle of Windsor. Too expensive!

This unassuming pub, transformed into a haven for music enthusiasts and karaoke aficionados alike. The ambiance at The Dog and Duck was electric, with an infectious energy that swept through the crowd. The dimly lit space, set the stage for an evening filled with anticipation and excitement. The stage, beckoned brave souls to take the mic and showcase their vocal prowess. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the diverse selection of songs available. The Dog and Duck's extensive karaoke library catered to every musical taste imaginable, from classic rock anthems to current chart-toppers. Jodie The MC, a charismatic and witty individual, expertly managed the flow of performances, engaging the audience with humor and encouragement. The crowd participation was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere was inclusive, with both seasoned performers and first-time singers receiving thunderous applause. It was heartening to see patrons cheering on their fellow karaoke enthusiasts, creating a sense of camaraderie that is often elusive in many nightlife establishments. In conclusion, The Dog and Duck's karaoke evening proved to be a five-star spectacle. From the vibrant ambiance and diverse song selection to the encouraging crowd and stellar audio quality, this pub has mastered the art of creating an unforgettable karaoke experience. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a casual spectator, The Dog and Duck is the place to be for a pitch-perfect night of musical revelry.

This pub used to be good but not anymore. First the Menu is so disappointing… there is a limited choice of mains, no steaks, no pies. We ordered burgers and they were so bad! The chicken in the chicken burger was almost non existent as it was mostly batter, which was soggy and brown. The rest of the burger was very soggy and tasteless. Chips were nice and crispy. It is a shame as this is our local pub, the inside is still very cool and the team very friendly but I don’t think we will go back!

I came with my daughter for a sunday lunch, and was served by a lovely young lady called Sarah. She had a great attitude and was very happy to deal with all of our needs. I have a dairy allergy and Sarah was very compliant and useful when ordering and patient with my fussy daughter!! She deserves to be recognised by management, I hope all other waiters act as she does!! Thank you Dog&Duck for your lovely atmosphere you have created for your customers, I will definitely be coming back!

One of the best pubs I’ve been to in a long time! Beautiful decor, stunning beer garden and a lovely, happy and relaxed atmosphere. Bumped in to the owners and they couldn’t have been more welcoming. If I didn’t live in Scotland, I’d be there every night!

What a delightful pub! Lovely atmosphere, dog and child friendly and excellent hosts. I had dinner there and the food was excellent, I highly recommend the fishcakes....delicious! Very nice restaurant and both indoor and outdoor eating areas, beautiful gardens and an all round lovely experience. Thank you to Wez and Victoria for your hospitality, the Dog and Duck gets a huge thumbs-up from me.

What can I say...absolutely amazing..staff, service, owners (Wez and Victoria) dog friendly..home cooked food, fab menu, fab surroundings an experience, lovely family pub an dog friendly in a great location, quiz night, karaoke an cabaret nights, 2 for £10 specials...you have to visit...stunning outdoor beer garden in the sun .and twinkly lights everywhere..beautiful .

I went there for lunch, specifically to try their burger, having read about it on their website. I opted for their cheese burger and was glad I didn't go for the mega burger - that would have meant asking for a doggie bag! Cheese burger was well cooked and came in a Brioche bun complete with every addition you could ask for. It even had pickles, something many venues omit. A couple of rings of onion would have been nice (they may have been there but I was so busy trying to hold the bun together I didn't notice them. A delicious meal (the fries were very good as well) that meant it was 'lickey finger' time. Only one negative..a chap at the next table having a sweary rant on his mobile..in the public bar, when he should have done it in his office - not in front of the public.

We were a group of 6. Three of us had burgers which were all dry and overcooked. That was dealt with quickly and quietly but it still wasn’t good. My disappointment was from the barman’s rudeness when I asked for a dairy free cappuccino. Loudly and aggressively he said it was a pub, not a restaurant - they only have dairy. Anyone knowing the Dog & Duck will know they actually have a fair sized restaurant.

Lovely dinner and great chef, had the burger but the chef would not tell us what he puts in it. Was very enjoyable

Visited being locally and enjoyed . Lovely location, tasty food and attentive staff. Recommended for everyone .

Tried the vegetarian pizza last night and it was gorgeous, thin crispy base and delicious toppings. Service was exceptional being that perfect mix of friendly and efficient. Good value for money and just a great venue to meet up with friends and family.

My daughter & I both had the Steak & Kidney pie with mash, vegies & gravy. The pies were delicious, very full and beautifully baked. Mash & veggies good too. Overall a very good meal. Would visit again.

Dear food lovers, I had the most incredible dining experience at the Dogs And Duck and I just had to share my thoughts with you all on TripAdvisor. From start to finish, everything about my meal was outstanding. Firstly, the ambiance was simply stunning. The decor was modern and chic, yet also warm and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for a cozy dinner with friends or a romantic night out. The staff were also incredibly attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. Now let's talk about the food. Every dish that I tried was absolutely delicious and expertly prepared. From the appetizers to the main courses to the desserts, each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. In addition to the fantastic food, the wine list was extensive and offered a great selection of wines from around the world. And let's not forget the desserts - the apple crumble was an absolute dream! Overall, I cannot recommend the Dog and Duck enough. It truly exceeded all of my expectations and left me with a lasting impression. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, make sure to book a table at the Dog and Duck You won't be disappointed!

We have often visited this pub as we live nearby. All during the 6 nations there is flags and a board outside advertising the games. We decided to go here for the last game of the series. We watched the end of the Scotland v Italy game which was fine. Once the bar man changed over to the Wales v France game it was stopping and starting and shocking bad reception. The lady there tried her best to fix it to no avail. The game was unwatchable. We contacted the rest of the group to inform them, finished our drinks and got a taxi into wokingham to watch the rest of the games ahead. I just think if you are going to advertise that you are showing the rubgy, football or anything else that it should be of good quality as from the outside it is misleading to the public. Now as a pub it is lovely, food is great, lovely beer garden etc.

We visited for lunch. Service was very friendly and seating comfortable. There was plenty of space between table as well. The space inside is huge. They have a good beer and wine selection. To eat we had the mushroom stroganoff, fish cakes, pie of the week (steak) and the apple crumble. All the were excellent with plenty of vegetables. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. In all a nice dining experience.

Lovely friendly pub with tasty food, recently had Sunday lunch here with our family whilst visiting the area, the staff were lovely and friendly, the food was tasty and it was all reasonably priced, wouldn’t hesitate to come back when in the area!!

We had a late Christmas meal , 10 of my family for Sunday lunch. The food was lovely and really good value for money. The staff were all great and I would highly recommend it.

Haven't been here for ages and didn't realise it was under fairly new management. We were super impressed. Lunch was delicious and good value for money. Ciabatta sandwiches well filled and best chips I've had in a pub. We'll definitely be back.

We went to The Dog & Duck to meet friends and have lunch. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good and the service was excellent.

Sunday lunch; 1 x Gammon and 2 x Roast Beef. Gammon was great but the Beef was particularly impressive, well cooked (medium rare), lean and very well seasoned. Large portions too, for those who find this important.

Having booked early and checking the reviews before we left we were expecting the worst, however that couldn't be further from what we experienced. upon arrival we were greeted by a pleasant young lady, who showed us to our table the bar was busy and...

Food was basic and for the price I would of expected something a bit more special. Had the pie, could of made this at home better. They had a pub quiz going on, speaker was so loud we ended leaving as you could not hear...

Waited for an hour and 10 mins for food and in that time absolutely no explanation from waiting staff! We asked one gentleman who said ‘well we are busy’ and walked away. Caught another blonde server who said she’d look into it and then completely...

Pub appears to have turned into a drugs pub. Toilets were blocked by guys selling drugs. Coke and tablets. Unable to access Toilets. Very intimidating.

I can only rate on line booking as made 2 bookings now confirmed then cancelled later . Obviously having a online booking system is a waste of time and pointless

We are regular customers, the staff always so accommodating and try squeeze us in even if we have not managed to book on time. Food is delicious and great choice, pics dont do it justice

We had a fantastic meal on Christmas Day. The food was plentiful and everything was superb. The staff were very attentive and we would definitely come back again. Well done!!!

Would just like to say a massive thank you for making our visit to your restaurant pleasurable. We had a largish group and wanted to bring reservation forward of which you had no issues in accommodating. The restaurant was lovey, service second to none and...

Good food but unfortunately a cashless business. It’s a nice building with a good atmosphere, great choice of food and drink. The food is very reasonably priced and very nice. Would leave 5 stars but I don’t see why you can’t pay cash if you...

We had a great time. We booked late, but you squeezed us in, made us feel welcome and the beef and carvery were excellent. Even found room for their excellent shared desert We really enjoyed it and left full and relaxed for a Sunday afternoon...

We all thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Both the Thai curry and fish and chips were delicious! Didn't arrive particularly quickly but well worth the wait.

Lunch is a weekly treat for my partners mum and I and I have to say I cannot fault the care and consideration they give an elderly lady in her nineties. From the minute we walk in we are welcomed and nothing is too much...

We visited the pub for a family Sunday carvery. Having run a race in the morning I had a big appetite. I was not disappointed in what I had to eat. The food was of a high standard. The price was very reasonable and there...

I have to say the offers on food is great. 3 of us went out and had pizza, with their offer we had 4 Pizzas between 3 of us. What does let this place down is the deserts. An absolute rip off. I do like...

Fantastic roast today at the Dog & Duck. Huge portions and great quality food. The gammon (which I wouldn't normally have) was delicious with all the trimmings including savoy cabbage, bread sauce and cracking. Plus a Yorkshire pudding. Veg was perfectly cooked, which is excellent...

First time visit and will definitely be going back. Food was fantastic. We had a few starters to share, my favourite was the squid chips. Both of our mains were lovely, half roast chicken was very succulent and the house burger was yummy. There is...

Had the Sunday carvery which was very nice. The restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Didn't feel the same about the guy behind bar who I felt was a bit abrupt with us even though no-one else was waiting. Even so we definitely would...

Lovely food, especially pie and mash! Also burgers and the nachos are lovely. Service is very good, friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is always welcoming, and plenty of dog biscuits and water for your four legged friends. Best pub to have some good traditional food and...

Covid aware all staff (as did we) wore face masks. Hand sanitiser available, windows and doors open for ventilation and outside dining available. We ordered via App. Food good, most had burgers (although we usually have Sunday roast which is always good). Grandchildren would recommend...

We booked a table for 7.10pm. Our orders were taken at 7.25pm.. we ate at past 8.30 pm Not happy as we were told there was approximately a 20 min wait for food Clearly the kitchen was short staffed. Front of house worked hard and...

As a family group of 11, we visited the Dog and Duck for Sunday lunch. Those of us who chose from the main menu (scampi and burger) were happy with the food. Those of us who chose from the carvery were not so happy. The...

The food was really nice but waited over an hour for food. Was told it was going to be longer than expected due to them being busy but an hour is excessive. Also being a wet Saturday you’d presume they would have catered for it...

Food is generally really good but very disappointed tonight, as for some strange reason, they no longer offer a table service. We have been regular diners there since we moved into the area and for the first ever we have to use either the Brakspears...

3 of us shared the sharing board with a few beers and it was superb. Highly recommend on the food from this visit and will be back soon for a follow up

Popped in for lunch after a nice walk. The menu had great choices we had tasty burgers. Friendly and efficient service by Ency and good value for money - what's not to like. Definitely will be returning!

Big shout out to my server Enci. I had never eaten here before and she was able to guide me through the menu and answer all my annoying questions. Wonderful restaurant :)

Oh well left a bad review on Facebook . Got barred . Hey obviously can’t take the opinion, answer throw ya toys out the pram . Very professional. Anyway . I’ll repeat my comment . No heaters ,no blankets , no real Preparation for outside...

The food and service at this pub is superb. The roasts are to die for. You get so much meat, loads of veg and lashings of gravy as well as a huge yorkshire pudding. They are absolutely great value for money. Unfortunately I never have...

My husband and I were at the Dog & Duck tonight to watch the England v Germany game. Very covid friendly and safe. We had a good table considering we were only supposed to be having drinks however, after hubby reviewed the menu he decided...

Had a delicious Sunday Roast with friends in garden. Excellent roast beef, fresh veg and giant Yorkshire puddings. Food quality definitely improved since last summer. Due to Covid measures everything is ordered via the App so the service was very functional rather than friendly or...

The meal and service were fantastic. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Tables were really spaced out so we felt very secure with social distancing. The Sunday roast was one of the best I’d ever had and the starter plates were perfectly cooked -...

Awful. There was no way to opt out of marketing preferences using your app and no way to order normally via your team. We left and won't be coming back!

I first went here between lockdown 1 and Lockdown 2. Apparently the pub had recently been refurbished (I don't know how recent) and I must say it is a great looking pub/restaurant. The food was also excellent. I went again last week and of course...

This pub is lovely, great beer garden and the food was very nice. The service was really quick and the staff very polite. It was a very sunny evening but some of the tables were in the shade and cold. There were lots of free...

Great service from Pete. We were told the chef had a big head about his food, well the chef has every reason to have a big head. Food was amazing. We ordered steak and the bangers with mash and both equally delicious and well presented....

One of the best restaurants in Wokingham. The food was incredible, service was excellent, price was good especially considering the quality of the food. Would recommend to everyone and anyone!

This pub has seen many ups and downs over the years and has had a number of periods when it's food has drawn folk from further afield than the estates that it serves. Visited for a family Sunday lunch recently and, although it was very...

Ii have not been out at all for months now with the Coronavirus - but 3 weeks ago a few of my girlfriends and I decided we wanted to get together . So we booked a table for 6 people at the Dog and Duck...

We visited for Monday quiz night as we have for many years. As always it was a fun, fast paced quiz with several prizes on offer. The quizmaster is first rate and he injects much humour into the proceedings. The staff at the Dog and...

We visited the Dog and Duck for food and drinks. The pub has a wonderful atmosphere, great interior design and great vegan options! The staff were really accommodating with us, as we had a dog. Really engaging and helpful staff. The restaurant does need to...

Visited with a friend from out of town. Pleasant atmosphere for a bit of a poor weather day. Fish and Chips really good, and the pizza was top quality. Good, attentive service.

Visited the Dog & Duck in August 2020, I had the Vegan pizza which is one of the best Pizza’s I have ever had (made by Mirel- great chef, thank you!). All the staff we’re friendly and service was efficient. I would not hesitate to...

Greasy, oily and covered in fake cheese. Worst food eaten in years. Expensive and a waste of tax payers money.

Always great food and service. Really good homemade nachos and pizza, great aperols, wine and beer 😊

Great food, attentive service and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Been a couple times since lockdown eased and both times, it’s been a great experience.

We enjoyed a great plate of fish and chips in the garden. Staff were friendly and helpful and there were no problems with social distancing. Felt all possible protection measures were in place.

Limited menu which is understandable but the burgers were very poor quality, over cooked, dry, rock hard. Won’t be back for food in a while.

Beautiful restaurant, stunning desserts and excellent service from the staff. Visited the pub to watch the rugby while we had food, we ordered the leek and potato soup and squid to start, followed by the beef burger, a pizza, an enormous caesar salad and a disproportionately small veggie tortellini option. The only negatives we noted were a limited vegetarian menu with small portions (the veggie meal was half the size of the other meals) and that most dishes were over-salted. The brownie which we had for dessert was perfect! Highly recommend for family meals, couple meals, etc. and cannot rate the staff highly enough. Also, being dog friendly is a huge bonus because it seems that the locals have the most gorgeous dogs!

Sadly this place has really gone downhill! 6.30,restaurant empty except for noisy family. Waited 3/4 hour for our meal while waiter had a couldn't care less attitude! Finally my fish arrived dry,burnt and unbeatable!Friends pie was salty and dry.Price of my fish was taken off the bill but I was left hungry and not wanting to repeat that experience ever!

Lovely valentines meal, candle lights great food and fantastic service. The small team managed to stay on top of a very busy restaurant

I came here on my own. And not once did I feel solo. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. And I had the steak. It was so good. Not offending any non meat eaters but WOWA that steak was so good. Very pleased with my choice of coming here.

Fabulous Sunday roast. Plentiful. Lovely ambience in rustic surroundings. Definitely going to return.

My husband ordered the liver & bacon unfortunately he couldn’t find the bacon so asked a waiter where was it the reply from the chef ‘it’s in the sauce’ we assumed he meant the gravy . Why he just didn’t say he’d forgotten it or they had run out I don’t know. He was offered a cup of coffee which we declined as we had waited 45 mins for the food to arrive, Never did get the jug of water which we asked for.I wouldn’t recommend sitting near the door as it could be chilly with the amount of children running in & out also knocking into your chair as they run pass you.

Tonight my family and I came to The Dog and Duck for a spontaneous dinner as to be honest, we didnt want to cook. We have been to The Dog and Duck many of times (not so much to eat) and never had one bad experience. We always get welcomed warmly and service is always on point. On this particular occasion we were seated at our table by a lovely gentleman called Remo, he instantly made us feel welcome. We firstly ordered our drinks which came within less than 3 minutes of ordering them (luckily we had chosen what to eat in that time). Remo asked if we were ready to order and we were - he did ask if we wanted more time, but we are quick decision makers!Once our food came it was lovely! The whole time Remo was extremely attentive and an absolute pleasure to be served by.I highly recommend the Dog and Duck, the service is always brilliant and it's a lovely place to go!

The Dog and Duck......well, what to say? This is a regular haunt for a good glass of wine and a cold beer, but tonight we decided to come for a bite to eat. Went to the bar, ordered our drinks and enquired about a table. Within seconds our waiter, Remo, ushered us to a comfy table away from the main bar. The restaurant area is very comfortable and airy. You can have a conversation without having to shout at each other.Food ordered, we waited a very short time for it to arrive and Remo presented it as we were in a five star restaurant. Incredibly attentive without being overpowering.Food was delicious, service impeccable. We will be back. Thank you to the Dog and Duck for always making us welcome.

Fantastic Sunday lunch - a great place to meet with friends for an excellent meal - can thoroughly recommend

Restaurant next to the smoking area which for me is a no no. Not only the stink of cigarettes that wafts in when the gangs of five or so guys who seem to have had to choke together stood with the door open or took forever to come back in again with the door open. Not just that but why place the restaurant area next to where peopleSmoke.The food was ok and not off putting but it could have been better.The service was very good though and the place is. I’ve and tidy and clean.

We’ve been regulars at the Dog and Duck for years, but since the refurbishment a couple of years ago, this place has gone from strength to strength. Pete and the team really have put the pub in the centre of the Emmbrook community, with a cosy, welcoming ‘pub’ on the left of the building, and an excellent restaurant on the right.

We have been to the Dog and Duck a few times as we live locally, and we really want to like it. Unfortunately the last couple of visits have been disappointing... first the service is inconsistent, with waiters not paying much attention and poor communication, from forgetting to mention items not in the menu to long wait to order dessert and being borderline rude with customers. Then, and most importantly the food has been a let down recently, burgers come totally over cooked if not burnt, sides are missing, etc. We feel the standards have slipped, which is unfortunate as the place is really lovely. Hopefully with more training and attention to customers, this place can raise its standards...

We booked a table as we were visiting family in the area. From the moment we arrived we were very well looked after. The pub looked fantastic with a good atmosphere, cosy and warm, perfect for a wet Sunday afternoon. They had an extensive menu with lots of great options including the carvery. The chef came out to greet us and talk us through the options available, Gammon, Turkey & Beef with roasted carrots, parsnips, potatoes, giant Yorkshire puddings and more. We went with Gammon and beef, both cooked to perfection! Would highly recommend a visit , best roast dinner I have had in a long time!

After leaving a negative review in the past, I felt it only right to share our positive experience we had this evening.

The Dog & Duck is a great pub. The food was good and well priced. The atmosphere is chilled and the staff friendly. We had the Roast beef and it just melted in our mouths. Good mix of customers. We will be returning again soon and have already booked up for Mothering Sunday. Highly recommend.

We decided to give ourselves a proper day off and booked a table for 5 on Christmas day. The staff were very friendly and despite being extremely busy nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely, to be honest I had reservations as the year before I felt it was overpriced and underdelivered, however, I needn't have worried. The food was delicious, the turkey meat was succulent, the starters were excellent, I had salmon, and a devine profiterole style cheesecake for dessert. In my family we all have different preferences and none of us left the table dissapointed. We will definitely be doing the same again this year,can fully recommend a visit. We always get a warm welcome here even if just popping in for a drink the staff are always friendly and helpful which keeps us going back. A great local pub.

We were a group of ladies celebrating my Birthday. The food was good. Watch out for the jalopeno colslaw that was a bit of a surprise. Good service. Great night had by all.
