The Duck Inn Pub and Kitchen

Recently I went to a show at Sydney's Seymour Centre and after arriving early I asked the box office staff where I could go for a nice glass of wine and dinner. They recommended The Duck Inn . Being an explorer I thought I should at least take a walk around the area to see what else was on offer. I walked as far as George street and was disappointed as nothing stood out. I made my way back through the streets and found The Duck Inn at 74 Rose Street, Chippendale. It was a welcome relief finding this gem hiding in a side street and only a 5 minute walk from the Seymour Centre.



On entry you are feel a sense of being inside someones home. It is open and airy but with cosy comfortable nooks.


While having the standard pub elements of long bar and stools the whitewashed walls, flowers in jars and a cosy lounge area provides a hub for convivial conversation of the day.



We were impressed with the Bar area and Beer selection but being more of a Wine girl I ordered a nice Pinot Noir. My friend opted for a White Wine .



At the Seymour Centre we were told The Duck Inn offered a Theatre special Menu of $26. We could choose one dish from the menu and we would also receive the Dessert of the day which happened to be Chocolate Fudge. My mouth was watering over the Lamb Shank Pie so it was an easy choice, my friend chose Salt & Pepper Squid.

I have to admit that the meat fell of the shank and on tasting my friend's Squid it was extremely tender. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I was pleased that I allowed a good hour and a half before the theatre show commenced so I could enjoy this wonderful Pub which felt almost like a kitchen in a country homestead.



This old pub that has been renovated in recent years provides different areas for you to sit whether you are solo, couples or groups.



Much to my surprise when I thought people were going down the hall to the washrooms I just happened to find a bustling outside beer garden which I imagine is lovely on a summers night or during the day.



But the highlight for me was my dessert of Chocolate Fudge. It melted in my mouth and screamed that I should come back on another dining occasion.



This great Australian Pub offers a good varied selection on their menu to suit any taste with specials for each day. The Sunday Roast looked appealing and the Curry cook off once a month on Thursdays was also a tempter. Make sure you seek this place out when you are next in Chippendale I'm sure you will enjoy it.
