  “We had a leisurely lunch here today and was it ever a treat. Every aspect really. Eating at the bar provided a window into food prep by the talented chefs. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere inside was so relaxed and enjoyable. We ordered Seabass crudo, the Honeymoon melon, Sardinian cured ham, the quail, the Potato agnolotti, and had the Salted milk panna cotta + cherries for dessert. Wow. What a meal. We will be back.”

  “Great food in a beautifully designed space (I would happily live in the toilet). The service was excellent - attentive but not intrusive. A small but well conceived menu with delicious, high quality and interesting plates. A lovely evening.”

  “We visited Little Duck The Picklery after hearing so much hype about it, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. When we sat down, we asked our waitress if she could talk us through the menu and recommend any standout dishes. Rather than explaining the menu or highlighting any favourites, she simply told us that we should order 4–5 plates to share. The service throughout the meal was disappointing. Nobody checked in to see how our food was, our water was never refilled, and no one asked whether we’d like dessert. The restaurant was busy, but it certainly wasn’t packed to the point where these basic aspects of service should have been overlooked. It felt like we were largely forgotten once our food arrived. As for the food itself, it was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Given the prices, we expected much more. The dishes simply didn’t justify the cost, especially when paired with such underwhelming service. For all the praise and hype this restaurant receives, the food was just okay. When we asked for the service charge to be removed, the staff did so without issue and also removed the pickles from the bill, which was appreciated.”

  “Absolute 10/10 to everything that makes a dining experience sensational. Beautiful golden lights, warming the whole space. The most charming decor and layout. The bathroom was honestly like being in a spa. Staff were just the loveliest and most attentive with fantastic recommendations. The food was so good it genuinely felt like every bite was heaven. Pickled veg is outstanding, asparagus salad truly one of the best salads I’ve ever eaten, the crab rice was decadent and full of flavour, the lamb was so soft it pulled away without me using a knife. Their sous chef Louki who was cooking that evening is truly astounding.”

  “The food was really good especially the fish. It was very fresh. They grilled it nicely with crispy skin. We love all the food we ordered.”

  “The pancetta with apple mustard was a highlight, together with the pork and beef meatballs polenta. Great service and atmosphere as always. The toffee date cake with crème fraiche was perfectly balanced and such a nice surprise, but we would have appreciated wider selection of desserts”

  “A cute and cosy restaurant with an open-plan kitchen, letting diners watch the chefs at work. The food was delicious and creative, with prices on the higher side. One thing to note: I was simply taking photos of the overall ambience of the open kitchen, not of any specific chef or sous chef, when a team member tapped my shoulder to say I needed permission. While polite, it felt a bit passive- aggressive, especially since the open kitchen is clearly meant to be the highlight of the restaurant and part of the experience. Given that the beautifully decorated open kitchen is a key reason people visit, as seen in countless reviews (eg. Google, TikTok, Instagram, etc) this rule felt out of place and left an odd vibe.”

  “We accidentally booked a side table instead of seats at the counter, which would’ve given us a better view of the action—but the overall vibe at Little Duck The Picklery was still lovely. It’s a cozy, down-to-earth spot with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We started with a glass of wine and shared a few small plates. The grilled peaches were a real surprise—refreshing, perfectly charred, and hands-down our favorite dish of the night. The pink potatoes with anchovies and almond were fine, but didn’t leave a strong impression. The pork cheeks were tender and well-cooked, though the dish felt like it was missing a bold element to really make it stand out. All in all, a pleasant meal with a few highlights. We’d definitely return—especially to try sitting at the counter next time and for another round of those grilled peaches.”
