We turned up at 1pm, the restaurant area was empty my party were the only people there, nobody was sat outside either, we were not given a main menu, we were given a snack menu despite being in the main restaurant area, we were then asked to do half the staff’s job for them when we were asked to right down our own order with a pad and pen and hand it in at the bar, by 2 o’clock with no sign of any food we asked what was happening as other people were now sitting outside being served their food, we were told that the chef had only just been given our order, so disappointing as I had high hopes for a nice meal for my mum for Mother’s Day, I will not be going back to this establishment, when we asked what was happening with the order and the chef came out from the kitchen and was more then confrontational, we were the aggrieved party and felt like we were wrong for asking where our food was after waiting for an hour, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, we had a child with us as well and we were just completely forgotten about, I found it so unprofessional and we were badly let down, terrible terrible experience.

Landlady was vile and aggressive to customers. Underage drinkers running around. Sick in the toilets. Not a nice experience

Sunday lunch was great, food and beer was lovely! The service was wonderful and a young waitress named Maddie was friendly funny and really attentive. Would highly recommend both for food and the staff, 10/10 would eat again.

Went in for a Sunday fry up, food quality ok, just a bit too greasy for my liking.

Admittedly we arrived when first open on Sunday, when the bar staff hadn’t yet arrived however the beef burrito and lasagne were very disappointing. The Yorkshire pudding and beef of the burrito were fine but the gravy ruined it and I couldn’t finish mine. As for the lasagne it was majority cheese. Beautiful setting but improvement needed.

amazing service! my husband and I were greeted by a charming young lad, who offered us a dog water bowl for our dog, he then brought us over our food and asked if we required anything else which is not that common in pubs nowadays. This was Saturday 16th October, we watched as he went around and collected glasses and took food out to customers whilst smiling and chatting away to us and other customers. It is employees like this that make this place amazing 😌. The Muddy Duck is family friendly and animal friendly! Much Appreciated!

Sunday lunch was very tasty with perfect cooked vegetables. Only criticism was there was too much gravy on my plate. Would prefer to add this myself. But didn't deter me finishing the roast pork.

Bar area tiny. Needs to be twice the size. Great pub, especially in the summer.

The new owners have completely transformed this pub for the better! Great food with an even better view. A very relaxing place to be in the afternoon. It’s great that they change it up with street food trucks some evenings too with live music 👌

Fabulous place to visit now thanks to the new owners. The food is great. I had the Sunday roast this time and really enjoyed it. The lamb was delicious and my friends enjoyed their pork and beef. The staff are always very welcoming and efficient. Thanks to all for making this place a pleasure to come to.

We had been there before, it was a Sunday when it was quite busy and the Sunday roast was nice. Not today. We arrived at 3 the kitchen closes at four, it wasn’t that busy ( I have worked in hospitality for 27 years) the food was cold, the bed that came on the side were ok, not piping hot , but they only put a tiny bit of broccoli the rest was beans and cabbage, the potatoes that had been cooked at the beginning of the shift were burnt, the meat was not edible, we ended up giving it to the dogs from the table next door. I am not one for complaining but that was literally throwing money in the bin, they just apologised and nothing else. No we didn’t want to take the food back to be reheated on a microwave (I don’t do microwaves, personal choice) and judging by the way it came up was pointless to have a new plate. At least you arrive early when the kitchen opens my advice, don’t bother.

Hot and noisy but the cold drinks and service was OK-just wish they'd turn the music off!

This pub is my Aunty Sheena’s local and the food was absolutely amazing. My husband and I shared the burger and the chicken burger. Both were so delicious (with the chicken burger slightly more special) and the chips were fabulous. I’d go just to eat a plate of chips! Great drinks and lovely, sunny spot by the river — nice landscaping with the cherry laurel and lavender in planters.

The new managers have made a number of improvements, all of which now make a visit to this pub (formerly the Sunny Sailor), much more welcoming and enjoyable. All the staff are friendly, and the food is great. “The best onion rings I have ever tasted” quoted a friend. Dog friendly, plenty of seating outdoors and inside, and live music on occasion. Plus has the sun all day until sunset. So different now , well done to the new managers for getting it right.

Simple yet significant improvements since new ownership have already made this pub much more welcoming. It’s a lovely venue by the riverside, with sun all day long until sunset. Indoors, new tables and both bar areas now open, plus a new food menu make this a go-to pub.

Another great evening in this traditional village pub. Great food and Claire and John are perfect hosts. Very good selection of beers and the home cooked food is excellent with a great vegetarian choi
