Love it here. Only recently discovered, it's a proper friendly pub. No annoying music or TVs just nice drinks and great food. Staff are always friendly and so are the customers. I'd happily drop on on my own for a drink or take the family for a meal. Couple of top tier veggie/vegan pies. My sister had a steak one that was packed with good meat and dad went for Homity Pie with onion sauce. I had the vegan mushroom suet pie (see pic) and the crust was superb. Different gravys for different pies is a really nice touch. There's a big paved outdoor area for the summer with plenty of seating. Happily added to our list of regular places, well worth a visit 👍
We happened upon the mucky duck by accident, and what a find. The food was faultless, all home cooked and amazing. A special shout out for the chocolate orange cheesecake (I had to open my top button). The staff were warm, engaging and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend the mucky duck if you like good food and good vibes.
We had a fantastic meal here yesterday. I had the chicken leek and tarragon pie, my wife had the pork loin chops with cheesy bubble and squeak. Both were amazing - has to be one of the best pies I've had. Good selection of well kept beers too and the staff were great - even brought a bowl of water for the dogs. The pub itself is really cosy, clean and welcoming. Looking forward to going back to try the steak and ale pie.
A great pub with welcoming staff & a lovely chilled atmosphere. I ordered a chicken & tarragon pie with mash (choice of chips) which was SUPERB. All the pies are homemade and done in house. Really high level quality & the sauce was beautiful. Lovely point of Landlord to compliment it.
We had an incredible meal at the Mucky Duck! The service was exceptional, everyone was very attentive and friendly. Dog friendly, cosy atmosphere inside. The food was very good - they make the pies in house and they were hands down the best pies we’ve ever had - big statement I know but 100% true! Big portions, we were stuffed - excellent value for money. Nice range of beers and wines too, would highly recommend!
