Dining at The Duck was truly a beautiful experience and absolutely worth the trip. From the moment we arrived, the setting already felt special — the walk through the stunning gardens creates a lovely sense of escape before you even sit down. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, making it perfect for a girls’ lunch, a romantic dinner, or even a special family occasion.
The food was refined but comforting, with excellent presentation and very fresh ingredients. We especially loved sharing starters and desserts — the menu is ideal for a social dining experience. Service was friendly, professional, and never rushed, which allowed us to fully enjoy the evening.
Helpful tips for visitors:
• Book in advance, especially for weekend terrace dining.
• Arrive early to enjoy a walk around the gardens — it really adds to the experience.
• Smart-casual dress works perfectly.
• Consider sharing dishes to try more flavours.
• Allow plenty of time — this is a place to slow down and savour the moment.
Overall, The Duck is not just a restaurant — it’s a destination. A perfect combination of nature, atmosphere, and quality food that makes you want to return again.

Tasty foodAtmosphere
Disappointing food at the Duck Restaurant yesterday evening. We both ordered the fish but there was very little fish and mostly a doughy batter, we couldn’t eat it. The quality of the food has dropped since we last visited. We were also told that a bread basket is only given to residents of the hotel. Very disappointing!
Delicious lunch. Best fish & chips I've ever had. The crunch from the fish batter could be heard across the table! Starters look a bit more interesting than mains. The set 2 course lunch wouldn't suit everyone, but we arrived late and hungry. Service was charming
