The Duck & Willow in South Gloucestershire

Went to celebrate a birthday on 2nd Dec. The decor and atmosphere were warm and lovely, the food was gorgeous and the staff were wonderful. I forget the name of the chap who served us (Valor?) but he was kind, friendly, helpful and funny. Good cider too! It was quite expensive but honestly it was worth it, especially as a gluten intolerant vegetarian... So many good options.

Nice food good service friendly staff recommend going

Fantastic experience this evening, and want to highlight that Vitali (o hope that’s how you spell it) is an absolute credit to the Duck & Willow. Very professional and personable service. Thanks Vitali and we will be back next week for a roast!

Great food. Generous portions at a reasonable price. Pie minister a great option. Service was amazing, Freddie was a most enjoyable host. His fun and loving character added to an enjoyable evening. He definitely made us all feel special and looked after us with attention and care.

Brilliant Day/Night🌙 out in there for the Soul Disco 🎶🎵💃🕺🍺🍻🥂🥃🍷🍸 in there with a Great Crowd of People in there. Would Certainly Recommend this Place to anyone else who might be interested in going there 🤔. Great Bar 🍸 Staff who are Friendly and helpful to you. XXX.

Lovely Sunday roast - will come again! Very dog friendly too 😃

Reservado hace unas semanas para una mesa de 6. Necesitaba enmendarlo a 13 personas 2 días antes, lo que era un gran problema. Pre pedido la comida que hizo más fácil en la noche. Las 13 personas felicitaron lo agradable que era el fajo de comida. El pan plano de cordero kofte era excepcional. Sin duda recomendaría comer aquí.

Amazing roast dinner beef was perfect 👌 Great service ....and lovely staff

Great all round Koran excellent chief

Very welcoming staff and great food

A lovley family friendly pub, with good food and a great atmosphere.

We went for food and stayed for the Saturday party

Great pub, we didn't eat, but as we walked past the kitchen, the aromas were very inviting.

Came for steak on a steak-night. Above average price for a quite average steak. But good service and drinks. Came back to try again and walked straight out when I noticed the price of the rump steak. £25 is absolutely outrageous for what should be the cheapest cut. Pretentious pricing for what is really quite basic pub food. Went elsewhere for half the price and an equally good steak. Fine for drinks but avoid if you're going for food. £30-40 per head with a couple drinks.

Un exterior tan pintoresco, acogedor con flores bonitas por fuera y por dentro era igual de agradable. El personal era amable y servicial; nos hicieron sentarnos rápidamente. El cóctel Collins de flores de saúco era abrumador con muy poco sabor a flor de saúco. Las bravatas de carne se cocinaron perfectamente con el toque justo de rosa en el medio; delicioso. Lamentablemente el curry vegano de camote y coco fue una decepción, tuvo que ser recalentado pero le faltó sabor, condimento o cualquier toque de coco. Parecía ser principalmente garbanzo. Si hubieran mejorado un poco su juego, habría dado 5 ** Gran potencial, ambiente encantador, gran personal.

Nice ale, friendly staff and always welcome

Fabulous food quality and range of vegetables. Thank you Kieran. Superb and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Tried the pork belly and squid starters, both very good. Had Japanese chicken burger main which was exceptional. The use of chicken thigh rather than breast made for a juicy delicious burger with a tasty batter and accompaniments. Onion rings were also very good. Banging. Had satay chicken burger on another visit which was a special. Chicken breast used but still really tender and juicy. Very impressed.

La comida es buena - sin embargo, las camareras son lentos para tomar pedidos y traer / despejar la comida. nos quedamos charlando mientras estábamos sentados con platos vacíos esperando menús de postres.

Loved the back garden, has a real summer festival vibe, will definitely be heading back.

Fantastic food and pub. Such a lovely atmosphere and garden area. Dog friendly which is a huge bonus for us.

Todos disfrutamos de la comida, era muy sabroso, muy agradable. Un montón de platos en el menú. Fui un martes y recibí descuento también.

Organised a surprise engagement party, and it was a lovely event which went very smoothly with the help of Kathleen. Couldn’t leave any better review and she helped make our night/celebration !

To start the meals were not delivered as requested ie Childs meals with the starters as they don’t eat as quick as adults they were delivered after all the adults mains were delivered. The steaks were ordered medium rare they were served like tough leather , not one member of staff asked if the meals were ok at any point during the meal or after !others ordered fish and chips and too they were very disappointed with the greasy way the fish was served ie over cooked ! All in all we paid as we don’t like to complain however would we return for food at the duck and willow I’m afraid not. We gave it a try and not to be tried again . A lot of improvement is required to get a good review if the land lord paid more attention to what’s going on rather than drinking in the pub with friends it may by ran a bit better !

Good local pub, large outdoor area, with good food. Wednesday night = steak night, 20% off steak and half price bottle of Malbec (at time of writing). And they do poutine as a side dish – delicious! Hard to find. Not sure how authentically Canadian their version is, but it‘s still pretty tasty 🙂

Very good pub food accommodating with children food arriving hot even though there was 10 of us. Bit noisy with pub quiz but would not stop us returning.

I popped in a week or so ago for a quick bite to eat, having been there a year or so prior. Ordered a steak sandwich and it was probably the best bite I’ve had to eat in the last two years of anywhere I’ve been. To call it just a sandwich doesn’t quite describe the effort that’s gone in to make it. I fervently recommend. The manager was a lovely affable fellow, who brought me a free drink whilst waiting for my food. Really nice chap. This place hits all the right notes and I will be going back very soon.

I've had several Sunday roasts here, all excellently cooked, but today I was disappointed that there was no gravy on the plate. How are you supposed to eat bone dry meat, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes? Guys, the chef and the cooking is excellent, but if your'e going to cut costs on a £19 roast dinner, don't skimp on the cheapest ingredient - gravy! I did ask for some gravy and when it arrived, it transformed a disappointing plate of dry food into a luxurious Sunday roast. Your cost-cutting measures are definitely not doing you any favours.

Wasn't expecting much as came when it first opened and not impressed but as we had family over from France they had booked it so thought it may have changed.. sadly it had not ..the menu was uninspiring to say the least and was told that the menu was now wrong so couldn't order from there , so only the specials on board which were all sold out, ( we were there at 7pm) so ordered the pork fillet ...which was also not available...so basically all they sold was fish& chips £18 or burgers.. not impressed ...staff were unhelpful.. not that clued up...avoid....very lame menu

We booked the Duck and Willow to host our engagement/40th birthday party. They could not have been more friendly or accommodating. Everything ran smoothly on the evening - with staff kindly offering to help both decorations and the bar server did an amazing job keeping everyone's glasses topped up. Thank you so much.

Bit quiet but always friendly and good service with a great range of drinks on offer

Lovely neighbour pub, with nice beer garden and event area. Really good food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Very bad experience never again So slow service

My friend and I visited the little haven April 2024. We spent most of or weekend (Friday-Sunday) in this bar/restaurant each day. The food, atmosphere and staff are amazing. Staff are so professional yet amazingly friendly, especially Cathleen (Cat as she’s know). The food was perfect and so tasty, my friend, Terry, had a few meals during our time there because he is a very hungry man generally and I ate once. All food was perfectly presented and was so so tasty. I live North England but travel a lot for work so needless to say, I will be returning when in the area. There are a few parking spaces to the front of the property and plenty of main road parking.

Had some lovely small bites (squid and onion rings) that were lovely and the cider options are better than most, thank you!!

Finally... I've tried the Sunday Roast here. Their Sunday Roast has been on my todo list for a so long. They have such a great reputation. So, I was over the moon to be invited for lunch. 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀: - West Country Roast Beef Sirloin 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵- Roasties, Carrots, Celeriac Puree, Red Cabbage, Peas, Courgette & Yorkshire Pudds 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀: - Cauliflower Cheese. - Honey Glazed Pigs in Blankets. - Extra Gravy 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀: - Key Lime Cheesecake, whipped mascarpone, sweet condensed milk, lime & ginger biscuit base and chantilly cream. - White and Dark Chocolate Brownie, served with winter berry compote and cherry ice cream This was absolutely lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed lunch today. Thank you to the whole team at the Duck & Willow.

Great place to go and great value

It’s a stretch to describe this place - as their website does - as a gastropub. Feels like a chain pub with average food and a few good beers. Our vegan burgers (the only vegan option) were OK, although quite cold. The pub was quiet when we went and we could hear the kitchen constantly ringing the bell. The barman only collected our food when we motioned to him that it was ready. Won’t return.

Excellent Sunday lunch. And...as it's Easter they had some lovely lamb.

The service and food is amazing. Definitely will be coming back. Had the burger from the special menu and had to be the best burger I've ever had. Very welcoming restaurant and children friendly

Best service and food I've received in a long while. Had the special burger which was amazing, and it's family friendly aswel.

Lovely pub with a great choice of food and drink. Loved the mac n cheese croquettes for starter.

I've been here before and it was great. Went last night had Gluten Free fish and chips and Gluten Free battered onion rings. The food was totally amazing. The chef was outstanding he made a separate fryer especially. Georgia was so helpful and amazing. If your celiac this is definitely a place to visit. Lovely to find a place that understands celiac disease and caters for it. Thank you 😊

Great find with an eclectic menu all well cooked & presented. Helpful and friendly staff, will definitely go again

Great pub, great atmosphere and great service. I had a very enjoyable roast. Went for the pork belly, cooked perfectly. Pork was nice and tender and the crackling was crunchy. Big shout out for the roast potatoes, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. There were a good amount of roast potatoes as well. Veg was plentiful and tasty. Special mention goes to the gravy and red cabbage. Only downside was the cauliflower cheese which was cold.

Had a lovely impromptu meal recently food was great service was friendly

Food is amazing .Good portions and reasonably priced. The tartar sauce is epic!!!

Lovely pub, amazing atmosphere with decent food. As far as pub grub is concerned, the burger I ate fits right in. It didn’t stand out at all and it wasn’t anywhere near as juicy or tasty as I’d like but it was enjoyable. I did not like how my chips were forgotten and I had to wait an extra 5 minutes for fries. Mostly because I’m a fries before burger sort of guy. However, I know I will back as it may genuinely have the nicest atmospheres in the entire Downend area for food.

We were served by lovely Georgia tonight on one of our many visits to The Duck and Willow in Downend. Always a warm reception, friendly service and lots of good food and drinks to choose from, and dogs are always welcome. Highly recommend for a quiet date night or a get together with friends and family.

Ordered a specific pie from the specials board because I liked the sound of the ingredients, they brought me a completely different pie ,, I then got fobbed off that it was the vegan pie with quinoa??? But I didn’t order the veggie and goats cheese pie because I was vegan, i ordered it because I specifically wanted THAT pie ,, anyway didn’t make an issue out of it as I was with friends and couldn’t be bothered to wait for another Then we ordered desserts from the same specials board , which were lovely but when the bill came they were more expensive,, just to be told that specials board was out of date and they refused to charge us the lower price Waited ages for drinks , service was definitely not the best , No tip left !!! Was then Not well that same night as turned out the pie had finely chopped chestnut mushrooms in ( that I would NEVER have ordered Not a happy customer

I booked a table here to take friends as last time we came the food was delicious, the staff were really helpful and friendly. However we did not receive the same experience today… We arrived at 2:30pm for a roast table of 4. We were asked to get drinks at the bar and wait as the table wasn’t ready - absolutely fine. We got seated and placed food and drinks orders. We didn’t receive our food nearly 90 minutes after being seated. Other tables seated after us received their orders before us. (They were also tables of 4) the food was okay not as nice as the previous time we came. We asked for more gravy and really we shouldn’t have bothered we got an expresso sized cup with some gravy in for 4 adults. We asked again for more and they came with two tiny desert pots. This also took an age, so we had shouldn’t have bothered as the food had been eaten. Twice I had to chase someone down to ask where the drinks order was. Again shouldn’t have bothered we had all finished eating by the time it got to the table. Deserts were okay but all in all I think we were there 3 hours. It wasn’t busy at all. It definitely felt as though the “B or maybe D team” staff were in. Which was disappointing. The ladies bathroom was filthy. Highlight had to be waiting 30 minutes for the bill to be taken so me and a friend went to the bar to split the payment so we could finally leave. I paid the first half and then the waiter said he forgot to put the optional service charge and he’s added it so she would have to accept or deny before putting her card in. She decline it and he said “oh” whilst pulling a face. She then explained if she didn’t have to come to the bar to pay for the bill and if we have received better service she would have tipped. The attitude we got whilst paying was off putting. Definitely will not be returning as felt basically forgotten about and when there are so many other places in Bristol to go that are consistency good.

Amazing quality food. Must check out the daily specials board. Highly recommend.

An interesting place, it seems to be food led, and to be fair, the food was good as was the service. The staff were helpful and attentive...and we could park the car outside..

Would highly recommend good food good potion sizes and reasonable prices

A lovely pub with good ales and an adventurous menu, which varies from day to day. From the number of children, they obviously have a reputation for being tolerant. Service was exceptional from relaxed but attentive staff. The only possible downside is the parking. Unless there are more spaces round the back which I didn't see parking is basically on the road. This did not spoil and excellent experience.

Tuesday night at the Duck & Willow, we have just moved in a 2 minute walk away! 50% off tonight! Under £20 each with a bottle of wine!! Louise was brilliant and really attentive! Standard of the food was really impressive

Sunday lunch was exceptional for the 6 diners, roast beef, pork belly and vegetarian thoroughly enjoyed by all.Pleasant well mannered at tentative staff.Highly recommend to everyone.

First time I’ve eaten here despite living locally for several years. The restaurant area is cosy and welcoming. We were served by one of the team with drinks, she was friendly and helpful and let us try a couple of wines before we made a decision. Australian Shiraz was good though I feel the wine a bit pricey for the area. The starters were disappointing. The sticky pork although flavoursome, was lukewarm. The squid, again lukewarm, lacked any heat and flavour and was so deep fried it was hard to find the squid. Mains were a lot better. We had rump of lamb with dauphinois potatoes - same quality as a Mitchelin star restaurant - very tasty and would order this again when I visit. Jack was the star of the show! Excellent front of house. He was very professional yet friendly and very customer focused. I would expect him to be working in a really high end restaurant. Duck and Willow are very fortunate to have employed him.

I Hadn't been in 3 years and I felt the quality of the food was not as good as before. Also not many vegetarian options to choose from.

Very good as always. Great and friendly service from jack

The Sunday roast was average - the vegetables weren’t cooked properly and tasteless and the cauliflower cheese tasted like it had been sitting out on the side for hours - other than that it was okay, service was a bit slow considering they have lots of staff..

Even though I'm local, I've never been in so, thought I'd book lunch on new year's eve. So pleasantly surprised. Staff all very efficient. They have a good system regarding service. Every time the kitchen staff rang the bell, at least two members of staff rushed to serve the food. Food was delicious. We had the Duck And Willow burger. My pet hate in pubs and restaurants is lipstick on my glass. The glasses here were like brand new, so shiny, not even a water mark. Unlike the next local pub we went to after!!. Amazing experience. Thank you.

Visited the duck and willow this afternoon with my husband, toddler, and our dog, and met a group of friends there for lunch who also have a baby and small children. The pub itself is a lovely place to sit and spend an afternoon catching up with friends, very family, child and dog friendly. The food was just delicious, I'm a bit of a steak fiend who frequents Pasture, and I can honestly say the the Bavette steak I had today at the D&W was one of the best I've eaten. The rest of our group were equally happy with their orders and the service was fab. Alway a great selection of drinks including non-alcoholic for those who are driving. I've had my daughters 1st birthday celebration, and then my 40th birthday party in the Pavillion out the back of the D&W where food for 40 was delivered without a hitch and we all had a brilliant time- the new children’s area in the garden was a big hit especially! We wil keep coming back to this lovely family run pub and its a firm favourite for us.

Wonderful! Lovely Christmas Eve brekky here, always so lovely. All the staff are so lovely

Lovely pub with great food and a friendly atmosphere. Eaten here a couple of times including for family events and always impressed by the quality and taste of food and helpfulness of the staff.

Don't understand the reviews on the Sunday roast. Considering they are £20 they are really average and for the most part flavourless. Cauliflower cheese with no cheese. We had a table at 12pm there was plenty of staff but really slow service. We had to go up to pay the bill as we were being ignored.

I've eaten here a few times now and have to say the the food is excellent. The roasts are ridiculously good, burgers are banging and staff super friendly and can't do enough for you. And theyve got a great section on the taps *****

Netball Christmas do in the marquee 48 of us, great food, great service great atmosphere! Will be booking again next year

AVOID AT ALL COSTS Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced We booked for a party of 9 and unfortunately on the day 5 people couldn’t attend and so it ended up being 4 of us. We were told we would have to pay for the missing peoples food (which was disappointing because we had paid a £10 deposit each and so assumed at worst we would lost their deposits - but either way we took the loss and paid their meals). They asked if we still wanted the food and we said yes if we were paying we would still take it. All was fine until it came to paying. They then bought the bill over and hadn’t deducted the deposit. I advised them of this and they told me I hadn’t paid a deposit. I told them I had and showed them my bank statement showing £90 to Duck and Willow. They told me this proved nothing and I could have just come in for a meal that night. I told them the table was booked for 9 and the deposit was £10 each and so clearly it was obvious the £90 was the deposit. They argued but eventually said ‘you have no proof but we will take your word for it’. They then bought a new bill over with a £90 deduction but then said to me ‘but actually you should pay the extra because your friends didn’t come’. I said that this doesn’t make sense because we paid for our friends full meals so why should it matter that they didn’t come. They continued to argue with me about this for a full 10 minutes before I told them they could either take what we owe or we would leave paying nothing. It made absolutely no sense to pay for our friends full meals and then pay an extra £90 because they didn’t show. When we finally left the manager looked at me and said ‘yes you were right’ as if this made the situation any better. Absolutely disgusted at their lack of service skills, especially after we just took the loss when they told us we had to pay for our friends full meals instead of just lose the deposits.

Have also heard that they offer young students ‘trial shifts’ and then never get back to them as regards a permanent job and I am convinced this place is run by scammers. I will never be going back. In terms of food, it wasn’t bad but definitely not the best and most certainly not worth the hassle!!!!!

Delicious roast, lovely attentive service

Somewhat disappointed unfortunately. I ordered the rump of lamb however, the very small pieces (about the size of a 10p piece) of the lamb two of which were purely fat and the jus was meant to taste of black olives. Although not a fan of olives this had no hint of those flavours. The duck fat roasted potatoes (3 small ones) had that cooked yesterday flavour and were not crispy. This wasn't worth the price which is a real shame.The menus are somewhat misleading, as the sharing steak says and I quote "with a sauce of your choice" which it doesn't unless you pay more for it and also alludes to having a malbec with it again unless you pay for that too! When we asked for the desserts the female staff said the specials dessert wasn't available as "it's not gonna happen" and walked off. Bit of an odd evening maybe they were having an off day.

Overpriced food and drinks, came away hungry

Unfortunately after waiting over an hour for our Sunday roast it was cold. This is after watching a waitress take the fork that my child had dropped on the floor and her putting it back on our table rather than replace it. The staff are either on their phones ignoring you or are very abrupt and rude. Was hoping the service had improved.

I came here today with family and my Beetroot Wellington was disgusting! The potatoes were rock hard so nearly broke a tooth, the Wellington was stodgy and tasted awful! Other members in my group who had meat were also disappointed with their food but weren't as verbal! I told the waitress that my food was repulsive and she gave me a insincere apology and walked off before I could ask her to give feedback to the chef( if you can call them that). It's Appalling that such a popular pub has no standards and are happy to rip off their customers by charging extortionate prices for such poor quality food! I would never waste my money in here again and hope more people speak up as we're too accepting of such things which is why they get away with it!

Great pub. Just off the high street. Worth a visit

Went for Sunday lunch with friends and family, what a let down. Crispy roast pork was like rubber, roasters rock hard. Girl asked was everything ok and I told her about the food she just smiled. Waste of money. Forget this place for food.

A beautifully decorated pub with great food and drinks

Beautiful little pub. My family and I was greeted by Max upon arrival and he was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was spot on and faultless in everyway. I would definitely recommend and travel over the bridge to visit again. Thank you.

Came here with my partner, and we loved it. Food was very good, the decor is cool. It was unusually quiet for a Saturday lunchtime, and I've no idea why. Service was friendly and not intrusive. I'll definitely come again. 😊

We booked the Duck and Willow for a family catch up for 6 of us. We were looked after by Max so well - amazing food, lovely atmosphere and wonderful service. Thank you!

Very small portions for the price, although nice food.

My nephew is a manger hear so the atmosphere is great good staff too

Nice outside area. Food has declined over the last 2 years, though. When we first went - there was a good menu, and the place was seen as a bit of a 'gastropub'. However, recently, menu has primarily become limited to a few burgers. Small plates are decent.

A great evening with good food and ale. It's our new local!

Our new local! Staff are friendly and attentive, food has been delicious on both of our 2 visits, we feel blessed! 😋 We've celebrated 2 birthdays here and have been treated so well. Can't wait to try the breakfasts and bring the kids for Sunday lunch. Would they let me bring my 90s record collection and be dj for a night tho......? always worth asking innit!

Great pub good food but a little on the expensive side say that the staff are really good and a good choice of drinks

We had the steak for two. Very impressed, the steak was cooked perfectly it's clear that they have a very good chef who cares about the food they're serving. It was refreshing to see hearty sides, proper pub food alongside a high quality well cooked steak. Very friendly service and great atmosphere, it felt like a real pub, it can be tough to find such good food and a local pub feel but they offer it all. Will definitly be returning.

Nice pub. Was in early so 20% discount friendly staff and great garden in the sun

Popular, child friendly pub serving Sunday lunch. Reasonable food, slightly limited (e.g. no roast lamb). Polite and rapid service. We sat outside - the music seemed a little intrusive inside - near the small play area. Excellent Guinness. Not a destination but a very acceptable venue

Nice pub, good drinks and fun events

Very few people on the day we went. Staff very disorganised. Did enjoy my curry though.

Nice Sunday roast. Not enough veg on the plate. No kids portions on puddings.

Works night out for pints and burgers. Enjoyable, good service. 👍

Smallish portions for my big appetite (especially for the price point) but really nice, tasty food.

We've had some really lovely food here in the past, but this time 4 really dry disappointing burgers were served up. I would have said something but no one asked! Not sure we'll go back having paid £16 each for something pretty terrible!

The Duck and Willow was always great for food, beer and charm of the staff. Always friendly. Today, the staff were anything but friendly, attentive, and effectively more engaged in chatting to each other. The only thing missing was a skateboard for the guys with baggy scruffie clothes with their caps back to front. Seem tonhave littlemor no customer experience based on their approach to their day job. No Sunday roast specials left at 3pm, and no veggie option either. And the chicken roast was a child portion, esp as they charged £18. There's plenty of other places around that serve better Sundays roasts nearby, so it'll be the last time we go. Maybe the change of management has caused the change, profits before customers, and will only be a recipe for failure.

Lovely meal with my family (kids eat free 12-9). Staff were really friendly and food was great. Good selection of beer too

Very good service from front off house food was very nice too
