About The Dirty Duck
The Dirty Duck is a restaurant on Gibbet Hill Rd in Coventry, run as the Warwick SU eatery on the University of Warwick campus. It is one of the few places on campus serving hot food, so the kitchen covers cooked meals there. Burgers and pizzas feature on the menu, including the Chicken Inferno Burger with fries, and the chicken is halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available. At the bar, guest ales and ales on tap sit alongside gins and rum. Weekly entertainment runs through the schedule, with live bands performing. The Dirty Duck is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Food draws the sharpest split. One reviewer calls the pizza microwaved and borderline inedible, and the bang bang chicken and noodles horrid. Another found the cheese on the fries overheated, dry and rubbery, and the burger plain and dry. Several say portions left them hungry, with one noting the burger was not filling. One reviewer calls the food a bit iffy apart from the burgers and pizzas.

“Absolutely gorgeous food! Lovely, knowledgeable staff. Excellent vegan options.”
- Noah Lazenby
“Can't fault the service - bar staff are super friendly. The food is a bit iffy spare the burgers and pizzas which bang. Both outside areas are nice and always a lively atmosphere inside. Even though its the uni pub still quite a few non-students visit”
- Selman Aydin
“Probably one of the best place to eat in Warwick university campus. I bought classic burger with fries and a fizzy drink. It tasted nice. The staff were kind. It has a nice view and seats outside too.”
- Ivan
“Honestly the worst food I’ve gone out to eat for and paid for. Got a pizza and the bang bang chicken and both were honestly horrid. The pizza was some microwaved sh*t, borderline inedible, and the chicken and noodles better not even mentioned. Will never be coming here to eat off my own accord again….. Hell no. Do not go here to eat something edible.”
- Kris Platt
“We came here whilst at the University open day and the service was excellent, I can’t remember the gentleman’s name behind the bar but he was friendly and helped with all queries.”
