Wild Duck Inn @ Ewen Review

Great food and service. Duck cottage pie; scotch egg and ice cream chocolate sauce are all winners

Lovely old building ... nice range of beers ... the restaurant was a bit disappointing... Not quite good enough for the price.

Sumptuous Sunday lunch, very tasty, quite a lot to get through for the smaller eater but couldn't leave a morsel. Awesome day, Thank You, keep up the perfection.

Great food, good service and a good place to walk to. A nice atmosphere and family friendly.

Love it there. Superb food and Sunday roasts are first class

Hit and miss a couple of times, but in general very good.

To service was poor though the staff were friendly. Food very mediocre.

Superb food with some interesting twists - duckburger anyone?

The Wild Duck inn is a wonderful attractive old property that you would find hard to resist a visit to for a drink or meal.





We complained to the staff who were apologetic and offered us a complimentary sweet to make up for it. The sweet turned out to be the delight of the day thank goodness.

Think twice before paying the above price for a very average meal.

Excellent atmosphere and really good gastro pub food as well as traditional offers like white bait etx. Will definitely come back.

We walked to the pub and took a soggy dog. We sat out in a pleasant courtyard. The guys loved the beer; vegetarian food brill and kids happy too.

Delusions of grandeur. Nice pub food and wine with an unjustified price tag.

Lovely old building. Very nice food (try the duck shepherds pie) at reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Very good food combined with a nice atmosphere and winning service make this one a favourite!

Just went in the off chance very nice a bit pricey but where isn't around here very good

Absolutely delightful, great atmosphere and exceptional food.

Massively overpriced. Staff were friendly, but weren't attentive at all. Side plates and cutlery were dirty. In a portion of chips, there was a pea at the bottom. Both the ladies and gents toilets had empty toilet rolls on the floor, and the bins were overflowing.

However, the steak I ordered came fairly quickly, and was cooked well, the bearnaise sauce was very good and they have a good selection of beers.

Fantastic meal here mid-week whilst on holiday nearby. Menu had a good range of options (steak tartare was delicious!) and each course was cooked to perfection. Bit more upmarket than your usual pub-grub but worth paying the extra for. Certainly felt very full afterwards and will go again!

Poor quality food. Bar man wiped glass clean on his shirt before trying to pour wine. Tables outside dirty with old food. Bowls for washing arrived five minutes after the mussels arrived. Ricotta filled pancakes a huge disappointment but expensive. There are much better local pubs around the area.

Lovely country pub - we stopped off for lunch on our way from Kemble to Cirencester. Food was great, nice service and lovely setting. Highly recommended!

Used to be a fantastic cosy quaint Gloucestershire pub. With the anticipated overhaul, it now just feels empty, soulless and just looking very very tired and average, and the beer could be better. However, the sausage rolls and scotch eggs are to die for. Come on Mr Dunkerton, make it great again...

Gorgeous pub with friendly service and excellent food! Perhaps a tad overpriced but acceptable.

Nice little garden bar space with excellent scotch eggs

Delicious food, great service! I would recommend for a relaxed lunchtime event.

It is closed for renovation until the autumn 2019. See their website.

Lovely rambling old Inn, log fires, bags of atmosphere. Enjoyed steak night - good service. Excellent range of well kept ales.

Classic Cotswolds charm and grub! Tasty food with a welcoming smile.

+ steeped in idyllic charm
+ tip notch food
+ great drink choices
+ very friendly staff who were willing to assist

- was absolutely rammed on a Sunday so be warned.
- book ahead and expect to wait!

Love it. Great food. Does get a bit busy a peak times so service can be slow but still worth it

Lovely pub. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Excellent ale, well kept. Very nice food. They even have the Rugby on.

Our lunch was well created and cooked, but the background music was inescapable and reminiscent of a karaoke bar rather than a Cotswold pub restaurant. Conversation was interrupted by blues and ska music which might have been enjoyable on a Saturday night but quite inappropriate at lunchtime on a Monday. The staff offered to reduce the volume but that was barely noticeable. We live locally but I m afraid we won t be back.

Delightful garden excellent food and a pub with real character Will definitely return

Popped in for a drink, post carnage of the Sunday lunch rush. Pleasant enough place, something about it didn't quite hit the mark though so won't be rushing back.

Cosy little English pub, the garden is lovely, the staff is very friendly and the food is just really, really good.

5 of us had a wonderful lunch today. The food and service was 5 star, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. All the mains were well cooked and delicious, and the desserts were "to die for". We had our 4 year old grand daughter with us, and there was a special menu for her, and it was also a colouring and quiz sheet. She was fully entertained for the 2 hours we were there. This was a very special end to a few days at the Cottswold Water Park; we were well set up before our trip home. Thank you.

Fab! Fantastic food, helpful staff, lovely atmosphere.

Normally one of my favourite locals. However today one staff member in a chequered blue shirt served 3/4 of a pint to my friend then proceed to serve the customer at the end of the queue instead of myself. The place was practically empty and it seamed to be a clear act of passive aggression that I found very rude. Having lived locally for 7 years I hate to see when the ducks standards slip. (Other members of staff were lovely though)

A popular spot for locals and out-of-towners alike, this Lucky Onion-run gastro pub serves a hearty menu that gets the best out of mostly local ingredients. The pork, the lamb and the Chalk Stream trout were perfect exemplars of the attention to detail that the kitchen puts into both sourcing and cooking. The pigeon salad, with the meat juices used as dressing, was an exclamation mark.

Food was reasonable, but very overpriced, the chef didn't seem to have read the menu though and the described meals came out with different ingredients than advertised. Staff were pleasant, but slow and terrible. Would not recommend at all.

As a local a noticeable step up in quality since going under new ownership. I wish I could give the burger off the bar menu 6 stars. Would go again

Nice pub, food is good, service is good but prices are quite high.

Great place to eat and drink. Great building with a fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and a great menu to back it all up.

Highly recommended!

Traditional 16th-century inn offering rooms with free breakfast, plus a microbrewery and dining.

Despite it being the Wednesday before Christmas and fully booked restaurant we had an excellent meal. The service was quick and efficient, the menu selection was interesting but included some good pub standards. Very old worldly with a welcoming open fire. A thoroughly good old style English pub.

Lovely to see my photos as their main website pics LOVELY place, food, ambience & service

had a wonderful lunch with my brother, we sat outside, food was good even though i would of liked more duck in my pie,really good young waiting staff, all with smiles,loved it.

Friendly staff from the moment we walked in with a great bar tender in the oldy-worldy bar with cosy fire and a great selection. Then great food in the restaurant - venison and a duck shepherds pie!

Closed for refurbishment. Please get our pub sorted soon.

A good old English pub serving great food and beer. What more could anybody want?

Just love this pub. Great selection of beer. Huge fireplace makes for a great stop on a chilly day or evening.

Absolutely delicious food served by delightful young ladies. I shall definitely be back

On first impression it looked good, staff were friendly, until a roudy lot of hooray henreys came in very loud spoilt a familt night out, food the steaks very tough as old boots, very over priced, will not be returning here again.

Don't whatever you do go for late Sunday lunch - interminable delays, food that had been left for way too long after it had been cooked and then served cold, capped by a 'so what' attitude when we pointed it out.

Good beer and classic pub atmosphere. Didn't try the food but there was lots of room for dining.

Nice pub with quality food and good lively atmosphere.

Had an excellent dinner here along with many locals. The atmosphere was what we wanted and the food was great.

Lovely pub. Probably the smallest main course I've ever had. Especially for the price. Disappointed.

Staff were very friendly but were slow and not attentive. We tried to order a lime and soda twice but it never ended up arriving and it was still on the bill. The scotch egg was nice aand warm as was the bread, but the Chicken Milanese was very dry and not nice to eat.

Very nice atmosphere, design inside, staff. Also a lot of people what means that this is place is worth to see it

Great food. Owners take pride in their business and have their image and reputation as a driver to deliver good service and food.

Perfect food, beautiful fire on entry, good select on ale and wine. Perfect after a cold walk for a meal or just a monster session

Very pleasant, good food, we enjoyed an evening there.

Food was nice enough if a bit pricey. Slow service. Good atmosphere.

Amazing menu - the food is amazing too. Lovely atmosphere. Well done. We will be back!

Great food and service and the beer was pretty good too.

Went for Sunday lunch
Had Steamed Cockles for starters only got about 10 and these were very gritty if fact I had sand in my dish
My partner had roast chicken which was cold
Expensive for the quality of the food !!

service was slow and the staff seemed disinterested. We asked for a few minutes more to discuss our food and after about 25 minutes we had to ask to order.

The menu has errors on it and is written poorly.



The scotch egg was lovely though.

The beer garden is stunning and we would go back for a drink, but we will not be dining here again.

This is a rustic pub with an amazing atmosphere and a limited, but great food quality!

Quintessential English Country Inn. Historic and characterful building in a lovely Cotswolds village. Great ales, superb food and a warm welcome. Definitely not to be missed if you re in the south Cotswolds and worth making the journey to if you re not! Don t expect cheap standard pub grub - it s more special than that - but worth it for its special qualities.
