The ‘Duck’ (on the corner of Duck St) is the place to go, well, ‘quackers’, though you need not restrict yourself to the eight dishes with a bill (homestyle crispy duck with sour cherries, wild duck with plums); it also does three dishes prepared from Hungarian grey-horned cattle, for example. Dates back over a century; with Gypsy music every evening.
