The Duck Inn

Excellent!!!!! Wow. Loved everything. The smell of the wood fire when you enter, the charming barsteward who shared his enthusiasm for wines, the bread and butter, the superbly cooked dishes and the cosy atmosphere. Its just a shame we had no room for dessert. Although its a pub, this is really fine dining food without fuss. Particularly enjoyed the pork as its one of the first times Ive been able to cut and eat the crackling on the pork and eat it all together in one mouthful. I know how hard that is to get crackling like that and our server was well versed on how this was achieved. Personally I think this is nearly as good at the bridge arms, and in many ways more of a regular place you could visit. Cant wait to go back.

Vegetarian options: Delicious food, plenty of options. Parking: A fairly large car park, easy for us mid week.

Picked this pub based on both TripAdvisor and Google reviews. For a start, we had to book two weeks in advance - that's a great start. - Food is great, no default here. - Spirit selection is great. Could recognise some of the brands you can only find from Amathus Drinks shops in London. - Wine selection is less attractive by the glass. By the bottle, prices could scare average pub goers. - Beer selection is good. - Venue could do with a little refurb outside and inside - Service is good and somehow attentive and efficient. Somehow because they were only two folks running the floor, which includes taking orders, running food, making drinks... In today's hospitality terms, an industry struggling with finding staff, it was a pretty brilliant job. My advice to them on the above last point: get some of your chefs to help you run the food to release pressure on the service. More FOH time on the floor means more effective drinks ordering, an important source of revenue per table. We had the Sunday Roast and highly recommend, excellent.
