Raw Duck is aptly named despite not literally serving its duck raw. A lot like it's big brother Duck Soup in Soho, this new Hackney opening provides more of the same but is a little rougher round the edges. It also has far more meat on the menu - be advised veggie fans of Duck Soup - you might want to check the menu before arriving.
The day menu also looked fantastic - they serve a great unusual range of brunch food that looked delicious so our next visit will no doubt be a daytime one.
On this occasion, we just popped in for a refreshing vin blanc and light bite. The interior and decor are lovely and the environment relaxed and far less busy that Duck Soup - though being round the back of Hackney Central rather than in bustling Soho makes this no surprise.
We drank the white Trebbiano that was being offered by the carafe - like Duck Soup, the vin du jour rotate so there's always something nice and new to try.
We ate chopped hanger steak and salted cheese, fennel and watercress salad. The bill was more than reasonable - as dishes come in between £6 and £11 per plate. Though I prefer Duck Soup's approach of having many smaller veggie plates on offer for £3.50-4 each so you can try more for less.
Nonetheless a pleasant evening well spent with a lovely relaxed service style. We will be back for more.
