Rob Hunter left this review about Thirsty Duck
Visited October 2025. Five hand pulls for cask, all of which were on. Various keg options too. My Shake Hand Make Friend by Black Lodge was very enjoyable and £2.20 for a half.
The premises appear to be formed of a double unit, with most people congregating in the side with the bar - but larger tables are available in the side without the bar. I entered from the canal but it looks like there is an exit on the opposite side too, and another to the side.
I thought this place was pretty good and I'd be happy to return.
