Duck Goose

Yes, Duck Goose is a popular choice for date nights. Guests frequently praise its candlelit, intimate dining rooms, warm lighting and cosy downstairs ‘cellar’ area, creating a romantic bistro vibe. The menu highlights steaks and well‑prepared mains (steak night is a favourite), attentive service and a relaxed, elegant atmosphere, ideal for special evenings or celebrations. Book ahead for a quieter table or to secure downstairs seating if you prefer the moodier room.

Portions are generally generous for mains, especially the popular Sunday roasts and steak dishes, though a few guests mentioned smaller dessert scoops or an occasionally light main portion. Starters and sharing plates (platter/arancini) are described as well sized. If you’re especially hungry, many guests suggest ordering a side (truffle & parmesan fries and onion rings are frequently praised).

Duck Goose serves lunch and dinner on set days: Lunch, Thu–Sat 12:00–15:30 and Sun 12:00–18:00. Dinner, Wed & Thu 17:30–22:00 and Fri & Sat 17:30–22:30. These hours mean it’s great for weekend dinners and a relaxed Sunday roast; check with the restaurant for seasonal changes or special events.

Partly, Duck Goose welcomes families and can accommodate pushchairs and children (guests mention a good children’s menu and family meals). However, the restaurant has two levels: an upstairs brighter dining room and a cosy downstairs cellar reached by a steep staircase, which may be difficult for those with mobility issues. If accessibility is important, request an upstairs table when booking.

For a lively experience try Friday–Saturday evenings or Sunday lunch for the well‑regarded roast; these are popular and festive. If you prefer a quieter visit, opt for midweek dinners or weekday lunch when the restaurant tends to be calmer. Wherever you go, booking ahead is recommended, many guests note the place gets busy on special nights like steak night and market weekends.

Warm, cosy and often described as intimate and slightly quirky. Guests praise candlelit dinners, mood lighting, a relaxed bistro feel and attentive, friendly staff, perfect for date nights or special occasions. Downstairs offers a moody, speakeasy cellar vibe while upstairs is lighter and more street-facing. On some nights live music can be louder, so consider that if you want a quiet conversation.

Casual dress is the stated dress code, so smart‑casual attire is perfectly suitable. Guests often treat it as a relaxed yet slightly elegant bistro, comfortable clothing with a neat touch will fit right in.

Yes, guests repeatedly note the team is attentive and happy to accommodate dietary needs (gluten‑free and dairy adaptations are mentioned). Many diners report staff handled allergies and special requests well. Call ahead to confirm details or note requests when booking so the kitchen can prepare.

Yes, families dine here and guests mention children enjoying visits. There’s a children’s menu and pushchair space upstairs; staff are welcoming to families and attentive to younger guests. For very young children, consider an earlier lunch or Sunday slot and mention any menu needs when booking.

Busiest: Friday and Saturday evenings (popular dinner service) and Sunday lunch (highly recommended Sunday roast). Quietest: weekday lunches and some midweek evenings, when guests report a more relaxed pace and easier availability. Because popular nights fill up, booking in advance is advised.

It depends on what you want: go Sunday for the celebrated roast and a hearty family meal; choose Thursday for the well‑liked steak night (good value and lively); for a quieter, more relaxed experience pick a midweek lunch or early weekday dinner. Book in advance for weekends and special nights.

Dogs are welcome, guests report the team happily welcomed a small dog. For service or assistance animals the reviews don’t state policy explicitly, so call ahead to confirm arrangements and any suitable seating. If you’re bringing a pet, mention it when booking so the team can seat you appropriately.

Yes, several guests specifically note Duck Goose welcomed their small dog and were happy to accommodate it. If you plan to bring a dog, call ahead to confirm a suitable table and any house rules.
