The Duck Inn in Redditch

Our lunch was prebooked for 1pm for 23 people. The meals were ordered in advance so we expected to start the meal no later than 1.15pm however the first meal wasn't served until nearly 2.30pm and they came out between 2.30 and 3.15pm in dribs and drabs with the final meal being served at 3.15pm. The empty plates were collected from tables where only some of the meals had been served and desserts started to be served at 3.30pm, again in dribs and drabs. The food was good and not complicated - eg fish and chips, steak pie, veggie salad and the desserts even less complicated eg brownie and ice cream, just ice cream and also apple crumble. I don't know if they had trouble in the kitchen on that day but the wait for food was far too long and then the wait for desserts was similarly overlong. The pub wasn't busy and we seemed to be the only diners.

Fishing is free, Full of perch.

We booked a table to have Sunday lunch ,upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff, after ordering our food it wasn't long before it was served ,piping hot and really enjoyable .We will be going back!!!

A good place to hang out with friends

We recently held a funeral wake at The Duck Inn. An excellent service was received right from the initial organisation with the lovely Pablo and the ever so lovely Charlotte who looked after us on the day. The buffet food was excellent and very affordable , outstanding! I can't thank you enough for everything you did for us, totally recommend you guys.... we will certainly be back.

The barmaid was so lovely. We will be back the food was also lovely. My son really enjoyed the noodles Lovely food. Great service.

Nice little pub good atmosphere,

Great pints are reasonable prices

Went for a spur of the moment lunch, couldn't book a table online but was told we could order food when we got there. No other people in the place outside of a kids party which was on one side and were then told that we couldn't order food until the kids party food came out so 'the kitchen didn't get overwhelmed'. Waiting to see when we could order but ended up leaving. Understand they had a party but surely that would be prepared for in advance and not involve basically turning away other customers. Lots of staff just walking around with nothing to do so really confused why we couldn't order 🤔

Myself and my partner had a date night on arrival we were met by extremely friendly staff and showed to our table the staff were friendly and helpful the food very tasty and flavourful will return

I had the worst 1/2 chicken dinner ever. It had no appeal on the plate and it was so dry I couldn’t eat it. I will not be eating here again

Very friendly staff and food was fantastic

After a change in management, The Duck Inn seem to have got this right. The food and atmosphere is spot on. Keep up the good work

Very poor service, extremely poor atmosphere, 3 times the order was confirmed and it was still diabolical. Half the food was late/ missing, and the drink order wasn't correct.

Amazing food, great choices on the menu. The food was hot, plentiful and very tasty. The staff are very friendly and service was fab. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, it has a pool table, dartboard, sports and good prices.

Good location and atmosphere. Nice beer garden

Very good service. The new landlady has made a big difference. The new menus look amazing, the staff (especially Charlotte) are so friendly. The food is really good, especially recommend the Mac and Cheese, and the Singaporean Noodles.

After a change of management, I'm glad to write that the duck inn is now a pleasant establishment with a good atmosphere. Prices have reduced dramatically to that equal of other pubs. Customers have returned who previously disliked the owners. New customers too. Yet to try the food but feel that this won't disappoint.

Went about a month ago food is very slow and wasn't anything special and small portions.

New land lady has already made a difference

Amazing staff, always welcoming and friendly

Attended for a funeral wake very compassionate staff

Great location and a spacious and very friendly pub. Met up with family for a Christmas meal and were well looked after. Great for a motorhome stopover with electric hook up provided.

I booked the hire area of the pub for my husband's 40th and Vicki has been so helpful from the booking, through to the event itself. On the night, Vicki was attentive and delivered great service and lovely food that everyone was really happy with. It's a great venue, perfect for families and really well ran. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again and will be returning soon. Thanks Vicki and all the team for making it a very special evening!

Seems ok but not what it was a few years back

This is a fantastic pub- we booked a table for 6 of us and we arrived early. This was not a problem and we were really welcomed by the staff. We had a great round table which we all liked. No problems ordering the drinks- fabulous beer Butty Bach, large white wine and lemonades. The food was brilliant- fantastic seafood platter ( fish, fish cake, chips peas, bread and butter and curry sauce- really tasty. A good hunters chicken, fish and chips, and scampi and chips- well cooked and great value. Total bill about £95 - reasonable price for a fantastic time. Easy journey to Redditch Theatre. We will be back. Nice pub, good atmosphere, great staff , friendly people. Wholeheartedly recommend the Duck Inn. Thank you so much.

What a gem of a place phoned ahead met by Martin who was very welcoming when we arrived and even provided EHU. What a brilliant night open mic night great singer's even the locals brought own guitars some really talented musicians even the landlord Martin played the drums, food and it's presentation was amazing, a night never to be forgotten. Kenny and Carolyn.

I just love the Duck Inn. I am a lady of a certain age and I feel safe and welcome to enter by myself. I ate my meal by myself and really enjoyed it. There was free live music on and they were excellent. I regularly go to the live events, the Open Mic evenings and the Sunday afternoon chill with JustUs duo playing. I have found everyone there to be very welcoming and I have made many friends since I started going. 5 stars from me.

Excellent selection of drinks, lovely food and great staff - very friendly atmosphere!

excellent campervan stopover, lovely friendly hosts, very enjoyable meals,The Duck Inn is situated in a very pleasant area of Redditch.I'll definitely return when I'm in the area .

Great local pub, good value for money.

Came here for a family & friends party, we all had a brilliant time. The owners did us proud, great DJ as well. The function room was ideal for our numbers (around 50) Food & drinks were great. Will be definitely coming back for a meal & drink.

Excellent food at good prices. Staff were friendly and provided colouring to keep our 4 and 3 year old children occupied. Nice beer. Would recommend.

They are having open mic nights for young people called Musical Youth once a month. My son Daniel played and we had a great evening. Highly recommended for all youngsters. Contact them directly for more details. Follow Daniel at d.d.drumming on Instagram

Great place - has got it all. Good food, bar sports, and you can watch sky sports. A great local pub. Shame I was only a visitor otherwise it would be my local.

During a visit to this pub we had ordered the 8oz steak this was so nice I could of eaten it again well done to the chef so after eating decided to play pool and yes there is a good pool table the place is kid friendly and has nice people running it its definitely worth the visit

Lovely place & a nice atmosphere & it was Elvis night! 🍻🎙️🎸🎺

Well, what can I say fantastic night. We went out with my cousin and his Antiguan friend to watch Elvis. We had food which was really good the salad was huge and plenty of chicken. All the other meals were brilliant. The atmosphere in the pub was brilliant. The entertainment was fantastic All in all we had a fantastic night. Bar staff really friendly and work hard. Thank you

Great little friendly pub. Nice garden and clean place to drink! Highly recommended

Bike meet today at 12-2 was about as welcoming as a dose of the clap , as for the word bike meet more like a bunch of geriatric old guys on choppers (ignorant) as for the pub if you plan on attending take a credit card as the drinks are extortionate prices and taste watered down ! Worst pub I’ve ever visited !

Visiting family in Redditch and our usual campsite was fully booked, how pleased are we about that now! The Duck offers stopover facilities for Motorhomes including electric hook-up as long as you are eating in their restaurant. The food was well cooked and very tasty. The staff couldn't do enough for us from the moment we pulled up, all very polite and accommodating. Added bonus was the path from the carpark leading to a nature reserve, perfect for a dog walk. Will definitely be visiting here again.

We popped in to get some pub grub and a glass or two. Lovely and clean and very welcoming Will defo return Toilets were super clean!

Great pub fantastic atmosphere and so friendly. We now use regularly as our local. Food is lovely and great prices. We love their live music events last night was ABBA which was just fantastic even better being outside. The open mic nights are such good fun too. Great staff great beer and a lovely couple who run it. Definitely a must

Been here a fair few times. The food is brilliant. The staff are friendly. I highly recommend.

Great for pool and darts and great drinks nice friendly staff and great quizzes

Delicious food at great prices. Lots of choice. Staff were brilliant. Place is clean even the toilets smelt fresh!

Just had a chicken salad, it was delicious and fairly priced. Many thanks :)

Friendly staff can't do enough for you

Good food, is really good atmosphere

First visit here and definitely wont be the last. Great food and entertainment. Staff very friendly.

Hadn't been for a while, and I know the bar has changed hands a few times. Nice vibe, very roomy and good beer selection. Will be coming back 👍

Open Mic with Sean. April 2023 First class! Great pub

Brilliant pub. Great beer, super pub food and service with a smile. Dinner, food, few drinks and a few games of pool with the family, great afternoon out.

Excellent service and comfortable surroundings. Good choice of beers and spirits. More information on the food service. Went Sat. 25 thinking we could have a meal and then later listen to the band (who were v.good) but no could do.

Had a couple of nights campervan stop over this past weekend and can fully recommend the The Duck Inn Redditch, Martin and Vicki are very accommodating and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, the meals were excellent and great value. . The Inn is well situated in a pretty area of Redditch and I felt very safe parked in the Duck Inn carpark. I will be staying there again when I next visit Redditch. 5*****.

Nice quiet pub for me and friend to catch up and have a chat

Lovely friendly place. Nice food, very inviting staff.

Nipped in after the weekly shop at Tesco Lovely pint Clean environment Couldn’t fault Will definitely return soon Staff were very friendly

Vusited a couple of weeks back (on a Friday). Lovely service, fantastic food and drinks. Highly recommended.

Good local pub with friendly staff

It just goes to show there are still good cheap places to eat with good service. Everywhere else is putting up their prices & at the duck inn for this Month of January you get an extra 25% off your food! What I also like is that you can see the prices online on the menu where as I have noticed other establishments are hiding their prices so you dont know how much its going to cost until you get there! It made for a very pleasant night & will be one of the places at the top of our list to eat. Oh & the butty Bach was a nice pint too.

Cosy, fun ambience. Pool table, quiz show, sports channel and other activities available. Found it very relaxing.

Went here tonight for a drink and some pub grub and it was extremely pleasant. My beer, neck oil ipa was really tasty, and our food, two burgers and chips for 12 quid no less, were bloody excellent. All staff polite and helpful. Zero complaints

Fair play told me they had offers on after i ordered to reduce my bill

Loads of screens good for football and you’ve got pool and darts !

Excellent value. Lovely food. Great friendly service. Would definitely recommend . We will be back, 3 courses for £20 worth every penny !!!

Awful service and awful food. We booked our midweek Christmas party here last week; a group of over 25 guests. We had pre-ordered our meals many weeks in advance so you would think they would have enough time to prepare everything. However, the food took way too long to arrive and the timing was totally unacceptable. Some tables received their meals after 1 hour whilst others had to wait almost 2 hours. There was no communication or update on the delay, it just seemed to be a matter of pot luck on who would be served. Some guests ended up leaving without having any of their meal, even though they had paid in full, due to the delay in service. The food that did arrive was of poor quality which just made things worse. Overall, probably the worst dining experience I have ever had. Unless you love waiting 2 hours for substandard food, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Can’t rate really as we were due to have our Christmas works do here on Saturday 10th due to the football being on same day our Xmas do has been cancelled by the pub manager . Very poor

I am totally disappointed in cancelling our Christmas party 3 days before due to england winning football and England playing on day we have booked. Very rude over phone, very unprofessional set up. If it wasn't for us phoning up we wouldn't of known. Deposit was given and menu sent. Thanks for that. P.s we said we would give bad review. She said she would give our care home a bad review...how mature As I can't reply to your message. I've not used names and advice you to do same. My manager did confirm booking. As for your telephone manner, was utterly out of order. We was quit willing to make it an earlier time of day. As for other party of 30 they cancelled I expect because football was on. You can reply and say what you like. I heard the way you spot to my manager. Not great

Nice friendly staff and now dog friendly great

Nice atmosphere and lovely staff! For my dear aunts wake

This is a little off the beaten track so you have to make an effort to find it - but I believe it’s well worth the effort. The pub is beautifully decorated and the food is excellent. I have seen reviews about poor food but this has never been my experience. I really like this place and would highly recommend it for a visit.

Food and price were excellent Very satisfied

Too long to wait for food...only us to cook for and it was 45 mins + Shame as the food was ok but will be driving past next time ..sorry...

Nice pub, not the best pint of moretti. Food menu looked nice and staff I saw seemed really nice and chilled. Nice location, outside there is a beer garden that's on the river. There's also a pool table and darts and they were showing sports on the TV.

New to the area and thought we’d pop in for a drink. Very friendly bar staff and the decor is nice and modern. Noticed that the staff were attentive in cleaning the tables, always a good sign! Good pint of Butty Bach was had. We will be Bach! Pun intended..🤪

Nice local pub, good food and beers. Sport on the telly as well.

Great pub. Unpretentious. More people should go there.

Been three times now in past couple of months to sort the world out with a friend! A pleasant reception at the bar, good pint of real ale at a fair price, a plateful of a meal for less than £10. Pleasant inside decor with outside tables as well. Now buy one get one half price on mondays for drinks and food. Thanks for a pleasant lunctime.

Me and my partner went on a relatively quiet night and ended up waiting an hour and a half just for 2 mains to come out. His steak and rib combo was okay but a bit cold. My burger was practically cremated and I’m shocked...

Popped in this evening for the first time. Wanted to try out the pub nearest to the house and within easy walking distance. Not the most inspiring pub from the outside but very open, light and, most importantly of all, clean on the inside. A good menu, albeit quite typical pub fare (why wouldn’t it be - it’s a pub) and reasonably priced. Very much enjoyed my food - great fish and chips and no skimping on the tartare sauce, whilst Mish had the pie which she enjoyed - great pastry. The owners are obviously trying hard as there seems to be something on most evenings - pub quiz, bingo, live bands etc. Not everyone’s cup of tea I know but there for those that want it. But for a pub within walking distance of the house will certainly be eating there again.

We popped in Friday at 6.30 for a meal with my friend and children we waited over an hour and half before nachos came out and they were nothing special, the garlic mushrooms never came out. We then had to wait another 1hr half for...

Just returned from an overnight stay in our motorhome in the car park at The Duck Inn. The staff made us feel very welcome. A lovely, friendly place.

Well done to the two owners... Food was great, service was spot on and the Inn was very nicely decorated with modern colours and fittings. Would definitely go again.

Poor evening that should have been great unfortunately. Got there early to grab a quick snack before the live music started. No real ale for the first round, cleaning the pipes at 18.30!! Our food after asking, arrived over an hour later, just about edible over cooked. Several friends were turned away at the door after travelling some distance, being told they were 'full' ! Nowhere near full, loads of space. Such a disappointment as this could be a great venue😡

Do not ATTEMPT to eat here, I said attempt as on both occasions we have come here to eat the food hasn’t materialised after an hour!!! Wouldn’t mind if they were busy, or if you were told there was a waiting time. People who ordered after us got their food, constant “it will be five minutes” from the staff. Disorganised place and staff, no customer service….seriously wouldn’t bother

Dog friebdly pub, nice people, good food, happy times

Pleasant pub, friendly staff, good drink selection.

Amazing saturday night with Dizzy Lizzy :-)

I've been here a few times now, and I have to say it's a very nice pub.. the bar staff are very friendly and up for a chat, pool table, darts, and obviously the put a pound in a waste your money machine is there. There have live music which in my opinion Is cool.. and for those who are driving they do Heineken alcohol free beer on tap.. now I know some people won't see this as a selling point.. but when you're dying for a beer and you have to drive this is a god sent, can't be doing with the little becks blue bottles waste of time...

Asked to have a baked potatoe with my steak instead of chips. Was absolutely lovely. Service and staff was excellent

Had my birthday party here and it was amazing. The food was great, we were well looked after and they catered for all our needs. 1000% would use this pub again for events. The DJ was brilliant and played all requests and kept the dancing...

This is a great pub and the food is excellent. £9 for cod and chips with a free pint can't be bad??

I had my moms wake here and what can I say - the manager Vicky and her staff went above and beyond !! Helped make it a lovely send off. Everyone had a great time and everyone who ordered food really enjoyed it ! Would...

We had our moms wake here and we could not be happier with the whole thing. They literally went above and beyond and we have no complaints what so ever! Staff were amazing! Highly recommended!

Very nice service, relaxed atmosphere, warm and good food

Fantastic value for money, clean and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again. Food was excilent.

Dropped in here for lunch today, friendly staff and good choice of beverages and food. The steak and ale pie was fantastic, very good value and will definitely be back. 😊

Excellent value, good food, great prices and friendly staff.
