The Good Stuff
Live Music
Live bands and singers add atmosphere to roast lunches, celebrations and evening visits without being the only focus.
British Classics
The menu handles pub staples well: reviewers specifically enjoyed the chicken and stuffing wrap, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and chicken Kiev.
Friendly Service
Many reviews describe the team as welcoming and attentive, including during group events and repeat visits.
Event Atmosphere
The SAFFA brunch created a lively gathering around South African food, rugby and a live DJ, with one guest describing it as outstanding value.
Quiz Nights
Tuesday pub quizzes are a recurring draw for visitors looking for a more structured, social night out.
Sports Viewing
Football and rugby viewers can follow matches in a lively pub setting, with reviews noting good coverage and a large screen for celebrations.
Pub Setting
Several visitors liked the cozy, stylish interior; one contrasted it with louder McGettigan’s venues and found it smaller, lighter and more open.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Roast. Go hungry for the Sunday roast: reviewers repeatedly describe it as filling, delicious and generously portioned.
Check Events. Look at the event schedule before visiting if you want a particular mood; rugby days can be lively but may put pressure on service.
Mind Smoke. If smoke bothers you, check the smoking setup before settling in, as one review found cigarette and cigar smoke hard to tolerate.
Expect Noise. Ask about the music level if you are coming mainly to watch sport or chat; one rugby visit was described as sensory overload.
Quiz Tuesday. Tuesday is worth considering if you want an activity rather than a standard drinks visit, with reviewers calling the pub quiz good fun.

Loud Music
Music can become too loud for some guests, particularly when they are trying to watch a rugby match.
Busy Events
Service struggled during one particularly busy rugby day, with a long wait for drinks and food arriving cold.
Meal Charge
One diner said a meal was sent back but still appeared on the bill, despite being disappointing.

The Bottom Line
Goose & Gander is a British-style pub and restaurant in Dubai Internet City, suited to a Sunday lunch, casual drinks or a sports-led evening. The clearest food draw is the Sunday roast: reviewers describe it as delicious, very filling and unusually generous, with one calling it one of the best roast dinners they had eaten. The chicken and stuffing wrap, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and chicken Kiev also receive specific praise.
There is more to do than simply order at the bar. Tuesday pub quiz nights give the week a social focus, while football and rugby are shown in a lively setting. Live bands, singers and DJs feature in reviews, including a South African brunch built around South African favourites and a Springboks match.
The interior is described as cozy, stylish, smaller, lighter and more open than some busier McGettigan’s venues. Service is often singled out as warm and attentive, though one rugby event brought very long drink waits and cold food when staff were overwhelmed. Cigarette and cigar smoke bothered one visitor, and another found the music too loud for watching sport.
A customer also reported being charged for a meal sent back, so check the bill if there is a problem. One review reports an on-site lager at 35aed all day, every day, but treat that as a customer-reported price rather than a current menu guarantee.
