The Dirty Duck — Restaurant in Coventry

The Dirty Duck 🦆😜

Poachers Chicken (£8.00) - Grilled chicken breast topped with honey, bbq sauce, bacon & cheese, served with mixed salad and rice. Chicken Inferno Burger (£8.50) - Spicy Chicken fillet topped with BBQ sauce & cheese. Served with fries & lemonade. Cheesy Fries (£2.50) - Fries topped with melted mozzarella & Cheddar

Verdict: The Dirty Duck is no stranger to Warwick University students as it is one of the only few eateries that serves hot food on campus. This eatery located at the centre of Warwick campus, serves up a delicious menu of freshly prepared food alongside guest ales and a great range of gins and rum. As a student here, I just had to go down and try their food 😍🦆

Despite the dim and intimate surrounding, the ambience was really lively and brassy thanks to the amazing live band. Their performance was exceptionally splendid and really brought the place to live!! Everyone was bopping their heads to the beat while munching on their food.😆 Food here is actually pretty lousy in my honest opinion. For starters, the cheese on the fries were overheated causing it to be dry and hard. Hence, it was missing the cheesiness and felt a little rubbery 😔 The burger was also rather plain and dry; no complains on the poachers chicken as I found it pretty decent. I think they could do more to enhance the flavour of their meals as the food is lacking deliciousness 😭 Portion size is quite small (I’m a big eater), so go ahead and order more, don’t feel bad...

I have spend many a night on the beautiful terrace during the hot summer in the Midlands. Looking over the rolling hills in the distance gives the outside area a Mediterranean feel - but the beer is better and the heat is less debilitating. The burgers and fries are cooked to perfection and the music always hits the spot. In the Duck, students and staff alike come together for a nice weekday binge. This creates an amazing community cohesion, that you won't find on the continent. United in booze and the pursuit of knowledge, members of one of the leading universities worldwide share ideas, stories, and the occasional bit of saliva. Fascinating! I suggest the Dirty Duck Company to open many franchise branches across the country - e.g. at the University of Coventry, which is really weak on original branding and would probably welcome a more systematic approach to culinary culture and enterprise. I suggest establishing a world leading professional training course in cooperation with WBS (just an idea). This would combine hands on 'pub work' with the more abstract fields of applied economics and intercultural studies (of drinking and mingling)....

Ordered a vegan wrap and was given the vegetarian one with the mint yogurt dressing, I understand mistakes can happen and I'd usually let it go if they apologised, but I was first told there was vegan mayo on the wrap. After tasting the mint I politely asked the staff to check again and they were very rude about it, someone else came back to tell me it was vegan mint yogurt which I was told the yogurt would be removed to make the wrap vegan. 10 minutes later someone comes back to take my plate telling me I'd get another one, not given any apology for their mistake. Half an hour later one of the chefs checked if I got my food and proceeded to actually get someone to make the food so that was positive, although the food itself wasn't great, I think they purposely didn't warm up the tortillas which tastes dry, oh well. Be careful eating here if you have food allergies, they will lie about it, and have...
