What Jane G doesn't like about The Ruddy Duck:
Since changing hands this pub should be avoided. The bar staff were more interested in their phone than the minority of customers they had in. The food was inedible the beer flat. Save your money go elsewhere View all feedback. What Heandher likes about The Ruddy Duck:
We went this Wednesday as part of the Eat out scheme and had a lovely time. Felt Covid safe with all precautions. Good welcome, staff owners very busy. Excellent steak pie and ‘to die for’ cheesecake. Good value. Having a short, simple menu generally means the pub is home cooking not mass producing and this seemed to be the case.

The Ruddy Duck has undergone a transformation with new ownership, resulting in disappointing experiences with rude service, subpar food quality, and overpriced microwaved meals. However, recent reviews indicate a positive change with friendly staff, delicious homecooked meals, and great value. The traditional pub atmosphere, generous portions, and welcoming decor make for an enjoyable dining experience. Highlights include the Ruddy Ribeye steak and scrumptious cheesecake. The Sunday roast and Steak and Ale pie come highly recommended. With excellent customer service and tasty dishes, the Ruddy Duck is definitely worth a visit for a delightful and satisfying meal.

Excellent food, wine, friendly bar staff, great ambience. Everything one would like to receive from a pretty ‘out of town’ pub. First class
