The Duck & Ball is a family run community pub at 12 Riverside Drive in Chiswick, beside Chiswick Cricket Club. Its relaxed indoor space and generous garden make it a comfortable stop after a riverside walk, a local match or an afternoon spent with friends and family.
Food comes from Carlo Di Monda, the resident kitchen specialising in freshly prepared Neapolitan style pizza. Light, fermented bases are topped with ingredients such as San Marzano tomato, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, anchovies, capers, olives and spicy nduja.
The pizza selection moves from familiar margherita, pepperoni and ham with mushroom combinations to white bases, seasonal specials and vegetarian choices. Small plates, salads, sides and filled panuozzo broaden the menu for diners who want to share or order something alongside a pizza.
Beer, wine and cocktails complete the pub experience, while collection is available for nearby customers. The Duck & Ball works equally well for a casual meal, a drink in the garden or a sociable gathering built around fresh pizza and an unhurried neighbourhood atmosphere.
Address: 12 Riverside Drive, Chiswick, London W4 2SP, England
