The Fuzzy Duck

The personal touch

The people behind the Baylis & Harding brand of posh bathroom and body care products bought The Fuzzy Duck in Armscote back in 2013 and set about transforming it into something rather special. The Fuzzy Duck is the only pub in the village and the premises used to be the blacksmith’s place before morphing into a coaching inn during the 18th century. They’ve done a fantastic job of keeping the heart and soul of the place, with real fires, wooden beams, and locals gathered around the bar, but they’ve also introduced a high standard of hospitality all round. The interior design matches old and new with considerable success, with everything from light fittings to chairs combining to create a little slice of boutique heaven. The designers have not neglected the outside spaces, with a decked terrace and neat garden adding alfresco options. It’s still a pub, though, with local ales at the handpumps. When it comes to food, the focus is very much on the produce grown and produced in the surrounding areas, and it’s really all about updated British classics (or ‘contemporary Cotswold’ as they describe it). The Fuzzy Duck is at the heart of village life and set to attract visitors from far and wide.          
  

Sticky fingers

Children have their own menu if required, or they can go for a half portion of one of the dishes in the ‘Classics’ section of the main menu (fish and chips and such like). There’s a dressing up box providing endless possibilities for entertainment.  
 

Muddy paws

The Fuzzy Duck is a canine paradise with access to all areas for our furry friends and even dog biscuits behind the bar, and given the generally slick finish of the place, that’s quite possibly not what you were expecting. There’s even a doggy welcome pack.
 

Alfresco

The garden and terrace afford excellent opportunities to eat outdoors from breakfast through to dinner (you just need the weather to do its bit). The Garage out back is much smarter than your average garage; it’s a smart private dining and meeting space that is used for functions and even hosts intimate wedding parties. 
 

What’s on?

The Garage, overlooking the garden and terrace, is a private dining and meeting space that host functions and weddings. Summer BBQs take place in the garden when the weather is up to snuff.

The Fuzzy Duck

Mastering the menu

The bar and restaurant are separated by a double-aspect fire, and, wherever you sit, there are stylish touches and a good atmosphere. The hard-working kitchen team, led by Joe Adams, makes just about everything on the premises (bread included), and they’ve given their handiwork the moniker of ‘contemporary Cotswold’. That’s a fair term as it happens, with lots of local produce on show and a decidedly British flavour to the dishes. The chefs turn out trendy versions of classic bar snacks such as black pudding sausage roll, or the Cotswold duck egg Scotch egg with piccalilli, plus a sharing platter where they all arrive together to form a mini feast. The main menu focuses on winning flavour combinations to create dishes with both modernity and comforting familiarity. Twice-baked Cotswold Blue soufflé with caramelised walnuts might kick things off, followed by something under the ‘Classics’ heading (free-range sausages and mash), and the market fish of the day might be pan-fried John Dory with scallop, Parma ham, Jerusalem artichoke purée and salt-baked artichoke gnocchi, dressed with the pan juices. The grill provides prime protein (from Aubrey Allen) in the form of a classy burger, ribeye steak, or a whopping côte de boeuf for two to share. Finish with a duck egg custard tart with nutmeg ice cream. There are sandwiches at lunchtime and an excellent value midweek fixed-price menu option.  Sunday lunch is a traditional affair with roasts taking centre stage, but a supporting cast of alternatives. Private functions are catered for in the revamped Garage, which is a charming room opening onto the terrace, with bespoke menus.  
 

On the menu

Leek & wild mushroom tart, truffle cream £6.95
Local venison pie, clapshot mash potato & honey-roasted parsnips £14.50
Beer-battered cod & hand-cut chips, mushy peas, tartare sauce £12.50
Lighthorne lamb shank, buttered mash, green beans, black olive & lamb gravy £16.95
Blackberry & apple cheesecake, blackberry sorbet £6.95
 

Sunday Roasts

Aubrey Allen free-range roast rib of beef £15.95
Free-range roast loin of pork £14.50
Free-range roast leg of Lighthorne lamb £15.95
 

Foodie Extras

Visit in the summer and you might find a BBQ fired up in the garden. If you’ve got walking in mind, they can provide a map, umbrella and a pair of Hunter wellies, and will happily knock-up a picnic if you fancy one for your adventure. If you’re staying in, the homemade chocolates for sale in the pub might well catch your eye.

They have their own bloody Mary alongside other classics such as mojito and cosmopolitan, or how about an espresso martini?  The wine list has great options by the glass in measures to suit most requirements, and when it comes to glasses of fizz, it’s a choice between a light and refreshing Prosecco (including a rosé version) and a more indulgent Bollinger. There’s a global spread on the list, too, with all the currently fashionable grape varieties present and correct.

We reserve the right to edit any comments left by contributors to the site.


BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
