The Dog & Duck in Uttlesford

Best pub and grub in StanstedMountfitchet. Bar staff and owner very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit. We will be going back for sure.

We were made to feel very welcome, we reserved a table for five right next to the bar. The waitress and bar manager service was excellent! We have not had a meal at the dog for a while and the roast was the best yet! Lots of fresh vegetables with cauliflower cheese was superb! The chocolate brownie and the chocolate peacon pie were delicious and all the deserts went down a storm. Please pass on our thanks to the chef best in stansted by far!! Thank you

The only downside was that the table was sticky from the cleaning products

Rang to make a booking and was told they were fully booked, went elsewhere and ended up in the D&D to watch the 6 nations match about an hour later, there was only 6-7 people in the whole pub including the staff

Food I had was so bad sent back Wife enjoyed the pie Staff were OK but the experience left a bad taste

Friends brought us here for dinner on our last night in the UK. We had a lovely meal, great pub food and the service was good, staff very friendly.

A wonderful time had by all. Thank you to all the friendly staff 60th birthday buffet superb. Thoroughly recommended.

We stopped to have some refreshments before heading to the airport. Cocacolas are quite watery. We didn't understand the bar man's jokes xDD

Must of got the pub on a day off got about a friendly reception as a fart in a space suite from the bar when we tried for drinks and lunch decided it was best to drink up and get on our way :-) Waiting stage were lovely though had a chat think they must have just been busy with Christmas went down to the other end of town and ate there, shame it did look lovely oak beams and a good roast :-( Probably best to book rather than just turn up

Lovely welcoming staff. Good food. But 2 Vegetarians had no choice of main & didn't enjoy their meal. Great having a room to ourselves - 14 of us - was good ( we had 2 little ones with us) We hope to return.

Very nice place to eat and drink. Sports on TV. Very nice service.

It’s nice pub to have food and drinks with friends or family

I don't think I was treated with respect. They are not interested in clients. They were busy to touch about their personal issues, and everything was dirty, including the table.

Booked sunday lunch for four after travelling from the midlands prior to flying from stansted airport and all i can say is we loved it with all empty plates which if you knew how fussy the wives are speaks volumes ,will definitely return as we seem to fly from stansted often, only shame was we were all too full for desserts which looked superb

After reading reviews on here my son and I decided to visit on our way home. Really lovely old pub. It was a very, very hot day but the inside of the pub remained cool. The staff were amazing - incredibly friendly and helpful. Food was great - we opted for the Sunday 3 course menu. Starter - Prawn Cocktail - stunning. Really different presentation and lots of it. Son had breaded mushrooms - again very fresh and tasty. We both had roast - good sized portions and fresh not frozen veg. Cauliflower cheese very tasty. Desserts we had were chocolate fudge cake and waffles. The waffles were listed as with caramel sauce but had the extra addition of strawberries which made them lovely. Ice cream and cream Again great presentation.

Cozy place with a nice garden in the back and the sweetest staff they where a so helpful and nice, really recommend a visit

Came here with my Wife and my two collies. Fantastic place to go and eat and drink, especially if you have dogs. My two collies were off lead wandering around the pub. Our food was absolutely spot on as well. Thank you so much! We will come back again.

Super friendly staff and locals. Amazing live music. A perfect village pub. Will visit again.

Excellent staff and excellent food id strongly recommend

Just had the most tasty burger for lunch. The home made slaw and the fries were rather delicious too. Other half was rather taken with the Neck Oil ale (Beavertown Brewery) Friendly staff, great service... we'll be back 👍

What a great pub really lovely staff and customers. We met our daughter and family at the pub to have a meal prior to them going on holiday. The food was delicious and nothing was to much trouble. A huge Thankyou to The Dog and Duck for being such a wonderful pub and being so welcoming

Nice atmosphere and a good pint.

Loved this pub, full of locals who were welcoming. Chatting to us. Two beautiful dogs who were friendly. Lots of life and laughter Would recommend x

Host Griff offers a great pub experience - food, drink,hospitality.

Very accommodating, warm friendly and helpful. Lovely staff. Great local pub. Food is great and reasonably priced.

Excellent food, wonderful staff, fair prices. Will definitely return!

Good food, friendly staff. Limited parking

Enjoyed our meal, good food and friendly staff. Just one young man seemed to take orders, serve and look after the bar. He deserves a medal, or better still a good rise! 👍

Lovely refreshing drink in the sun...

Went for burger and chips colslaw must have been a week old runny and holiday had diarrhoea the next day

The Dog & Duck brought back memories of eating at my grandma's house, with the thick place mats that are laid out when you order. The food was nothing like hers though... Far more up to date and adventurous! Loved the chips that came with my burger, and there was a local but friendly atmosphere to the place

Service is great. Thanks Griff and staff.

An excellent meal excellent quality well worth a visit ale is well kept clean and tidy pub. Chef is good as are staff.

Not serving lunches during the week at the moment. Will try again in the future

Popped in with son, father in law and pet dog. Guinness was great staff very friendly and regulars very welcoming

The mixed meat roast dinner was fantastic and really good value for money .

A lovely little pub for a drink and a bite to eat parking can be a bit hard

The staff are great and food is really good. We loved our visit and will be going back

Lovely friendly pub with good food and beer👍

Great Chef doing the lightest of batter and gluten free too. Genius.

Lovely pub with a country feel.

Waiting nearly an hour for our starters despite the pub not being busy. Got our drinks order wrong twice. The food was awful. Tasted like the deep fried mushrooms were cooked in old fat and the sausage and mash made me feel ill. Sausages burnt and mash swimming in button. Onion gravy was so bad I think I would have thrown up if I had poured it over my dinner. A two course meal took over two hours. Couldn’t wait for dessert. Paid the bill and told them how awful the food was but they just couldn’t care less.

We booked the place last minute and we couldn’t be more pleased. The food was exceptional and so delicious. The chef made sure of our dietary preferences. We enjoyed our starters and main courses and hopefully we will have opportunity to come back in the future.

I enjoyed a Saturday evening at the Dog & Duck watching the British Lions rugby while tucking into a sumptuous burger and chips. Great atmosphere, friendly locals, excellent food and drink, highly recommended.

Really good food very friendly staff with a great selection of beers & lagers

Great food and lovely outdoor seating.

Sorry to say we checked in, ordered drinks three times then gave up after 45 minutes. Usually excellent, but may be struggling to recover from Covid?

Very nice afternoon in good company with pair of regulars. Outdoor space at the front is nice and staff very pleasant.

Went to the dog & duck for Sunday lunch today and OMG it was amazing, a perfect home cooked roast beef dinner, and the portions were very generous, followed by a perfect, light as a feather chocolate fudge cake, good service and a lovely chilled atmosphere, we will definitely go back and can't recommend it highly enough well done and thank you.

Dog dog Place I all came tho add I place waited a while affordedble

Nice pub food a bit disappointing

Not much selection when it comes to beer, even when compared to other Green King pubs. Ordered the burger. The patty was good but rather small in comparison to the size of the bun. The presence of vegetables in the bun was noteworthy. The seasoning of the burger itself could have been better. The onion rings were too greasy.

Really enjoyed our lunch the food was tasty and we were made very welcome they even offered us a blanket if we felt cold there were 3 little pods which will be open on the 17th may with their own heaters and fairy lights I will definitely try one of those it was very well thought out well done.

Food was excellent but service could be looked at. The online menu for the day showed little resemblance to what was on offer. But what was available looked good and tasted better

Picked the Dog and Duck to meet our family for the first time in 14 months. Made very welcome and looked after safely. Nice people and the food was great. Will come again.

Sadly, I will not be coming back to the Dog and Duck - it was a real disappointment which was only saved by the glorious weather. My friend and I booked for 2pm Sunday afternoon. The service was extremely slow and, nice as the 2 young servers were, it was clear they were very inexperienced. Had to ask for a menu which they then couldn’t answer some questions about, we had to keep calling them back to ask for sauces and salt and pepper, they clearly weren’t working in sections so had both of them asking us the same questions, plus also saw them take the orders of 2 tables that came in after us before us for no apparent reason other than being disorganised. We waited half an hour to have our order taken (fish and chips and veggie burger) and it then took an hour for it to arrive. It really wasn’t that busy, though they said they’d had a rush of orders all at the same time. Ok. I flagged that our table seemed reserved for another booking for 4pm and it was already 3:15 and we didn’t have our food - they did manage to move that booking so we weren’t rushed, which we appreciated. When the food finally came, I was disappointed to find the £13 fish and chips was a very small portion- so much so that I asked for extra chips (which they were going to charge me £6 for until I complained about the quality). I shouldn’t have bothered - can’t remember the last time I had chips so bad. Greasy and not crispy and a real disappointment after waiting so long. I ate some of them because I was hungry after such a long wait but they weren’t enjoyable. The pub also didn’t have in a stock a lot of what we would’ve liked to order - no magners, no veggie option for the roast dinner, ran out of chocolate fudge cake. I appreciate after lockdown it’s probably hard to gage how much to order in, but it was still disappointing. So, to sum up in the word I’ve used throughout: disappointing.

Fabulous Christmas Theme evening and food was brilliant and the Pods are great 👍

Great pub, great food, great Guinness, great staff and friendly locals. Will he back soon.

Had a wonderful take away roast. Piping hot, good selection of vegetables, massive homemade Yorkshire pud and big portions. Yum

We judge other pubs ale by the standard set by the Dog and Duck - very few achieve it. Great pub

Great place lovely food very welcoming

Food was lovely had the steak pie definitely go back staff friendly.

I visited yesterday with my 4 year daughter for a roast dinner and was not disappointed. The staff were lovely on arrival, had a Covid safe kids pack for my daughter- which was brilliant and kept her occupied! The food was great and the staff were very attentive! Recommend, we will definitely be back 😊

Came here for dinner on 25 th sep and really enjoyed the food. I had a pasta with prawns dish and was lovely

Had 3 courses today and it was amazing staff were great too

Good place to drink beer and watch football!

Great beer, clean and tidy. Proper locals pub

Have ate here a couple of times. Really enjoyed the food and will come again. Best to book . Nice quaint little place

Having eaten at The Dog & Duck many times, I wanted to write a review to recognise the high quality of food and service they have continued to deliver since re-opening after lockdown.Service is strictly table service, inside & out, staff wear masks / visors, and the pub is spotless.It remains brilliant value for money, lovely food, friendly and welcoming.Massive well done to the whole team.

Had a takeaway for my father in-laws 80th birthday. Food was superb, very fresh and good value. Really enjoyed and please pass on our thanks to the Chef and the team 😀

Start with the shrine to Conkers and thats just the beginning...!🍻😁

Just had take away roast dinner for mothers day...... It was absolutely amazing, plenty of food that was hot and tasty, we will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the take away menu to support this lovely pub during difficult times x

Thanks guys for sorting out a roast for my little niece even after the kitchen had closed! Had a lovely family catch up here today, just drinks but will have food next time!

Excellent that's all I can say. Staff, food, drinks atmosphere all very good. Sunday roast was as it says on the tin. Very big portion and all well cooked. Can't recommend enough

Had a lovely late lunch, the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, will definitely pay the Dog & Duck another visit

Tasty food, well presented with a Continental flair. Very fast service. A large jug of water provided immediately with cucumber. So RARE these days of greed when most places want you to start drinking as soon as you sit.I had sea bass with green beans and boiled/toasted potatoes. Delicious. The meal for two came to only £26 plus tip.It's my third visit here and it won't be the last! If you visit, say Hi to Rafa from the "Mexican!"

The pub is ok, the ambience ok, the service ok. Just don’t eat here! We had two incredibly lacklustre cheese & pickle baguettes. No effort in their preparation. Small supermarket baguettes with tasteless cheese and a tiny bit of Branston Pickle. Really disappointing - I’ve had far better baguettes taken away from Tesco’s, so save yourself some money. This pub really needs to up its game.

We stopped here on a Monday evening, 20th Jan as we were looking for some dinner. Really glad we found this pub as the food is excellent. I had sausages with bubble and squeak which was really tasty, my partner had a grilled salmon fillet which was also excellent. Both were generous portions and good value for money. Friendly owners too. Would definitely recommend this pub

Amazing food. Excellent attentive staff. Great value. Will definitely be back

Lovely traditional pub with gloriously presented, very tasty food. If you are anywhere near stansted airport then pop in for a warm welcome.

What a great pub! We are from Australia and flew into Stansted tonight from Europe, we found this place by chance. The service was amazing - I’ve never seen such service in a Pub - thanks Patsy! The food was amazing - it was the best meal we’ve had in our six weeks. The steak was incredible!!! Very family friendly and our 3 kids were made to feel very welcome. Thank you!!

I was underwhelmed by my experience at The Dog and Duck. The food was good and presented nicely (although my son found the portion size on the small side); however the staff would benefit from some lessons in hospitality!

We were staying overnight at Stansted and rather than the culinary delights of the Terminal opted to cab it to Stansted Mountfichet (£11 going/£14 back). Decent pub grub - I had a well executed rump steak with a Stilton sauce and good handcut chips and veg. My wife had a decent chilli and my daughter enjoyed the fish and chips. Friendly staff - the chef checked in on us at various stages. Good, home made puddings. All served in a friendly local in a pretty little village. Much better than some anonymous chain.

Booked online. Had a brilliant Sunday lunch- two of us had the mixed meat roasts and two of us had the sausage and mash. All served with piping hot vegetables. All delicious!

Lovely lunch, cozy atmosphere, had a lovely date

Nice, quiet (Tuesday night) pub with a decent menu.

My good lady found this little gem on its reviews being near where we wanted to break our journey.Wasn’t sure as we walked towards it and then as as we have dogs asked to go into the public bar, which is fair enough.The bar maid could not have been more friendly, water for the dogs etc, and the food was excellent.Would def go back, not in the evening as a locals pub, but a lunchtime stop.

wandered in and chose from menu. both meals perfect. service friendly and good. nothing too much trouble . inn keeper very friendly. parking limited . will visit again next time in area.

Good range of beers, still a "proper" pub

Not sure how they manage when this place is actually busy. I was the only person at the bar and there was no one there to serve me. Around 3pm in the afternoon. Walked out after 5 mins of staring at the wallpaper. Shame really, it's a cute little pub.

Very nice food and friendly staff

An honest local with food and friendly people.

My new favourite pub for great food.

Mum and I came here after visiting the nearby Mountfitchet Castle. There is space for parking and a lovely looking beer garden, although on this occasion we decided to go indoors as it was SO HOT!

My wife & I had a lovely lunch here yesterday.The food was well cooked & very tasty. Dionne who served us was very helpful & friendly. We will be back.

The food here is good but the service can be a little slow.

We were staying at one of the Stansted Airport hotels on our way abroad on holiday but the reviews of the hotel restaurants were so dismal so we decided to eat at a local hostelry outside the airport boundaries. We chose the Dog and Duck by chance but were delighted we had done so. It is not a modernised establishment but it does have a good kitchen where they pride themselves on making their own pastry for pies and serving food that is fresh and good. My fish was flaky and tasty, the triple cooked chips to die for and not overcooked peas accompanied. My husband's beef and mushroom stroganoff was very well seasoned and he felt the mushrooms were fresh rather than having been stored in some way. Not sure if she was the landlady but Pat was pleasant and attentive and made us feel at home. We would certainly eat here again if staying overnight at the airport.

Friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price.

Food very good but waited 45 minutes for it to arrive and order was not complete - nobody came anywhere near us to check that we we fine
