The Duck At Burtle in Sedgemoor

We have visited The Duck on various occasions. This time a visiting friend asked to go again, which we were more than happy to oblige. Again the atmosphere, food and drink were excellent. The staff are always very happy and helpful, this time a special mention to Poppy as it was her birthday 🎈. Also a shout out to the chef, Ben, thank you for making a fantastic gluten free pasta dish 😋 thank you everyone again. Will be back again soon😊

We recently enjoyed a Sunday lunch at The Duck at Burtle, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The pub itself is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The food was very tasty, and we appreciated the quality of the dishes. However, I was a bit disappointed that the vegetarian nut roast I was looking forward to was unavailable. While the staff kindly offered me a vegetarian Wellington instead, it contained gluten, which I couldn’t eat. As a result, I opted for a halloumi salad, which, while good, didn't quite satisfy my craving for a traditional Sunday roast. Aside from that hiccup, everything else was great, and I would certainly recommend The Duck at Burtle for its charming ambiance and friendly service. Just be sure to check on menu options ahead of time if you have dietary restrictions!

I booked this for lunch with my Dad and Aunty. It was excellent! The service was impeccable, the waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was so cosy and felt very much at home. The starter of olives, humous and rustic bread and dips was delicious. We had goulash, fish and chips and the fish thai curry, not one of us were disappointed with our choices. I had the meringue, Chantilly cream and berry compote for dessert and my Dad and Aunty had the ice cream, which they both said was delicious. The meringue I had was gorgeous, it was so light and tasty. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

Great bar and restaurant staff. Had the fish & chips plus the gammon for my wife. Too many chips but so what, food top drawer. Recommended.

Lovely location nice atmosphere very nicely decorated and lovely cosy feel very nicely furnished food was excellent and reasonably priced excellent friendly staff will definitely be back when in area again 😊👍

Great as ever-here with close family for 'Grandpa's' birthday-Majirck and all staff never fail to amaze us ! Great food-great service-great beer-what more could you want ? ! All at a fair price-and have never had a 'poor' meal here since Majiek & Sam-and 'Co' took over. Well done-see you all again soon !

Very welcoming staff, clean, modern interior. Delicious prompt, fresh, full plate of Sunday lunch food served by friendly, polite waitress. Tender beef, lamb and Turkey… freshly cooked. Crumble and custard particularly good. Would definitely return and recommend to all. Thanks for a great dining experience.

Popped in for dinner. Had lamb, expect it to be pink, but not bloody, covering the plate. I should have been asked how I liked the meat to be cooked? Boiled potatoes (3), half an appple, and small amount of green veg. Total waste of time and money. Waiting service was very good.

The pub was lovely country pub. The staff was warm and friendly. Food was large portions and very goo . Highly recommend.

Really super dinner this lovely old pub - totally full of diners on a Monday night which gives a clue as to how popular this pub is - imaginative and varied menu, very generous portions of freshly cooked yumminess! Highly recommended

A really lovely place on the Somerset levels. Very friendly staff and plenty of space to safely distance from other tables. The menu is really lovely with lots of choice and different choices. The food came very quickly but we weren’t rushed in any way. I’m definitely coming back here when we can and plan to cycle around the area and have lunch at the Duck.

Came here a couple times now and the food is incredible, it was so good i had to get the chef out to tell them how happy we were.Garlic bread was beautiful, steak cooked perfectly, cajun chicken was beautifully cooked too. Amazing onion rings. Highly recommended for sureJoin bridgwater business matters for all local businesses in bridgwater

Another lovely family evening meal at The Duck, welcoming staff, great hot food and quick service, well worth a visit

We visited for Sunday lunch and also had Halloumi and Pigeon breast starters. Given the excellent reviews we were looking forward to it but were a bit disappointed. Yorkshire pudding was a strange yellow colour, vegetables were a combination of over and under cooked and beef was a little chewy. Also kids pizza was a Chicago town frozen job you don’t need to pay 7 quid for

We ate twice at this lovely restaurant this week whilst on holiday in Somerset. It was perfect for my elderly parents, with the staff being very attentive and helpful. The slow cooked pork belly was delicious on the Monday evening. A huge thanks to Majit the chef, who created specially requested Beef Wellington on our last night. A wonderful meal and the perfect end to our holiday. Not only excellent food but extremely good value for money. We felt very safe, with tables well spread out and and all the appropriate Covid19 measures in place. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Booked for Sunday Lunch which we have been meaning to do for a long while. The service was great and food was amazing (we both had the roast but different meats) We will definitely be going back.

Family celebration, felt very safe in their covid 19 precautions that were in situ. The staff were very accommodating and professional at all times. The menu was excellent and spoilt for choice.Steaks cooked to perfection. Our family research on local restaurants onion rings put The Duck firmly placed in 1st place. A homely and very enjoyable relaxed meal with not a single complaint or judgement that could be made and to top it off very reasonably priced for the quality of both service and food. We will definitely return.

Recommended by a friend so booked for a Saturday night, Super food, served hot, attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble. Rate the steak and onion rings. 100% will be back.

Stumbled across The Duck while taking a few days break in Somerset late September. The restaurant is nicely decorated, modern but keeping a lot of the local stone features. Staff are welcoming and friendly, clearly not at full strength but working really hard.I ate there in 3 consecutive nights and the food was excellent. Probably the best steak I’ve had in England and the pork with mash and cider sauce was perfect.I recommend this restaurant for great food at a reasonable price.

Can't praise highly enough. To start we had olives with crusty bread, balsamic and olive oil dips and for mains we enjoy a roast each. The meat was succulent and well seasoned, Yorkshire puddings and potatoes delicious too. We couldn't manage dessert but the choices looked tempting. Love the decor and the rural location Staff were friendly and attentive.

Stayed in the area for a short break and visited The Duck on the recommendation of friends. It was so good we went back for a second visit two days later. The staff are friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. The food was full of flavour, well presented and good sized portions. Restaurant area does echo a bit so other table's loud conversations can be a bit intrusive but this wouldn't stop me visiting again. Would thoroughly recommend this as a great place to eat.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, amazing food, safe service and great social distancing! Will be back!

Booked a table for this evening for 8.15. On arrival very clear signage re hand sanitiser stations and one way systemFriendly welcome and shown to table, dining is spaced out.Lovely menu choices with a bit of difference from the norm.Salmon and prawn starter was wonderful and beautifully presented and a good indication of what was to follow.Main meals of duck breast and pork tenderloin. So much flavour in these dishes, colourful and invitingSqueezed in a dessert of chocolate orange torte and gin fizz, elderflower cheesecake. 3 courses well balanced. Thoroughly enjoyable in a beautiful setting.Well worth a visit but would recommend booking

The atmosphere was welcoming, the decor bright and fresh, and the covid measures were well thought out and enforced. The tables were well spaced out. Staff were very helpful and responsive. The food was delicious, although the coffee could have been stronger. We'll be recommending it to friends and going back.

Excellent awareness during the current pandemic, hand sanitizer available on entry, and one-way system in force throughout the pub.Arrived at opening time on a Friday without booking (last minute change of plans). Staff were very welcoming, said their main room was fully booked, but offered us a table in a lovely quiet back room. Might have been a little darker, without views over their outdoor garden, but it was nice and private.Staff were attentive and very friendly, and the food was excellent, both very tasty and good portions as well. Had ice cream for pudding, which was suberb, very very yummy, would highly recommend.Overall, I would recommend this place, and would return in the future.

Gorgeous food. Were able to advise on safe options for coeliac. So nice to have dessert that was not a brownie! The decor was stylish, staff attentive. Felt very safe in these strange times.

Me and my partner went to The Duck at Burtle for our first meal after lockdown ended. We were not disappointed, we had 3 courses and they were all delicious. The staff were courteous and friendly, and actually thanked us for coming out to support them in these tricky times, which was nice. The only minor negative was that we were in ‘the snug’, a room off to the side, as it was the only table left when we booked (last minute, my fault for deciding I wanted to go out on a whim!), it was nicely decorated but a bit echoey, which was a struggle for the first course of our meal, as there was a big party of around 12 people in there with us, making quite a bit of noise. Once they left, the atmosphere was nice and it didn’t matter that the room seemed a bit hollow.

Food was good. However,we were put in a room that was dark and felt like it was in the evening rather than 1 in the afternoon. Disappointed that the staff were not wearing masks. The waitress came up a bit too close for comfort.Having said that there was a good variety of food. Ours was nicely presented and delicious. Desserts were good too even if portions were a bit small. Has it got to do with the 50% off? Maybe half price, half portion? Might visit again if there was an offer.

Our first meal out since lockdown. Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Food, as in the past, was superbly cooked and presented in good time. We really enjoyed the whole experience. Yes, not all staff wore facemasks but neither did all customers. Luckily, we are not paranoid about such things, as we took reasonable precautions, made use of the sanitisers and realise that covid is something we have to learn to live with.

The food is unusual but extremely good. Beautiful location. Bit disappointed that the staff were not wearing masks! Also, diners were not following the one way system to the rest rooms but staff didn't police it.

The Duck trading in difficult times at the moment offers a very safe environment to enjoy your meal. Large beer garden for those beautiful days we have experienced and very well spaced tables in the restaurant, snug and function room. The menu is very well thought out to meet a variety of tastes. Food is very well presented. Congratulations to all staff met for quality service which adds to the overall experience.Great and well done to all. Enjoyed our visit and happy to recommend this establishment.

Fantastic service from beginning to end. Chef to be complemented for four perfectly cooked steaks. Menu under the present circumstances exceptional. Looking forward to visiting again.

We needed to book in advance for this gem of a venue on the Somerset Levels.. The Devon dressed crab was delicious, as was my friend's sirloin steak. A great cheese board selection or palate cleansing sorbet for dessert. Absolutely faultless!

Great service, friendly staff, lovely food, very flexible and good covid procedures, although on the pricey side, it was worth it!

Well fully agree with last 2 reviews ..really really not good ..food not up to standard and staff very rude and unhelpful ..they need to improve for sure ...we have been to a few places around here and these are by far the worst...the crown in catcott far far better and the white hart I chilton polden...avoid and go elsewhere

We'd booked a table and it was pretty obvious by their reaction they hadnt accounted for us. I overheard one of the team say "I know what you can do" before we were put in an area that looked like a skittle alley. What's most concerning about our visit was the lack of covid safety measures. We watched a waitress clean two tables without using any cleaner, just wiping them down;the team weren't wearing masks or visors even when serving our food. We saw this at the end of our meal and our table were shocked. Our meal was dreadful, the fish and chips was so overcooked but the batter was still raw in parts because it was so thick. How the chef has managed to do that I don't know.My husband had a fish Thai curry which he chose because he is dairy intolerant, he didn't ask if there was dairy in the curry because it's not an ingredient used in Thai curry. It came with pilau rise and a naan bread which is strange in itself but my husband started to feel ill and asked if it was made with dairy. The waiter confirmed it was and his response was "you should have checked" and then bringing over a menu and showing him the disclaimer. No apology for not being competent in cooking Thai food. It also had a tomato and balsamic as garnish?! This is a clear sign that whoever is in the kitchen does not understand cooking.My sister had roast turkey, the waitress did a check back and asked if everything was OK. When my sister said hers wasn't the waitress responded by saying "well more for my dog then". Absolutely grim food and a matching service too. Used to be a really lovely pub. What a shame.

Really disappointed today with our meal and service!! Have been coming here for a couple of years and it has always been excellent but not the usual staff today and they weren’t that great to be honest or friendly. The food was awful and I feel very sad to say I wouldn’t go again. Also really shocked at how little social distancing Or sanitising happening at these worrying times.

From the moment we walked into The Duck we couldn't have wished for a warmer, more professional greeting. Attention to detail from all members of staff is very obvious. We opted to try the Duck Burgers and were not disappointed - the burgers were so well seasoned and succulent and the battered onion rings we ordered as an extra side were to die for! Although completely sated we were grateful they were happy to box up a portion of the gin fizz, elderflower and lime cheesecake for us to savour later and all we can say is.... Wow!!!!Such a treat to find such a gem of a pub/restaurant even though we are only visiting the area but if you are lucky enough to live nearby or are just here, like us, on holiday get booked in... You will not regret it!!

Excellent food and service. Starters we interesting and we could have chosed more than one.. Same for the mains Wonderful service in a challenging times due to Covid. Felt very relaxed and safe Well Done!!!

We absolutely loved our evening at the Duck, we were requested to use the hand sanitiser on arrival & a one way system was in place in line with Government COVID-19 regulations. We were greeted promptly & shown to our table by Chris, who looked after us very well all evening and offered drinks immediately we sat down. The pub is really lovely inside, bright, clean & contemporary and plenty of room between tables. There is also a delightful large beer garden. The service was excellent throughout the evening and the staff were all really pleasant attentive and cheerful. We were impressed how quick the service was. As for the food we were spoilt for choice, a great individualised menu, unlike the usual ‘pub grub’! Two of us had the lamb shank with pea & mint mash, which was beautifully cooked, as were the fresh vegetables with it, my mum had the smoked chicken breast tagliatelle, which she really enjoyed, & my daughter had the hunters chicken, which was very tasty. Everything you get is homemade and it shows! The desserts were just yummy! We had the sticky toffee pudding & ice cream, glitzy chocolate orange truffle torte, and profiteroles .. just delicious The prices were very reasonable & made even better by the the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme!! All in all a brilliant meal & we are going back next week for lunch! Thank you to the chef & all the staff for a great night.

This is such a love warm and welcoming pub set within the attractive village of Burtle. On entering the pub, there were clear procedures to follow courtesy of Covid, and hand sanitizers on entry and around the bar. The decor of the pub was lovely. We were greeted and shown to our table. The drinks were perfect and the food was first class. We feel very lucky to have this as part of the reduced rate to get people back out and eating in. I would 100% recommend this pub. The beer garden is a great size aswell with a large car park. Thankyou to the staff there who were so efficient and friendly. Brilliant!

Really good garden with play equipment tucked out of the way of other patrons. really comfortable atmosphere inside, we were lucky to be in a separate room, as we took 2 children under 2 it's always a little hit or miss on best behavior. On this occasion, the timings were set by other guests and so we had 2 tired children, the staff handled this very well offering a reminder that the toddler had to be seated when she was running food, no issues with us as this is for everybody's safety. Our waitress was a lady with fantastically multicolored hair (apologies I didn't catch her name). She was polite and friendly even in the face of 2 kids, a hoity-toity grandmother (decided to whinge about the speed of cutlery change), frazzled parents, and covid measures! Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely place hidden away. Went here with my wife and two children one is 7 and the other 15 and everyone was happy. Food was lovely service was really good and would definitely come back.

Just had an excellent evening meal at The Duck and the way they handle the current rules is spot on.Guidelines are followed but not too intrusive and the one way system works well.Excellent food and attentive staff.If you are still unsure about venturing out this would an excellent first step.Well done to all involved.

Returned to The Duck today for lunch. They have a well thought out one way system for customers to follow, they have thinned out there tables so that there is a good 2 metre distancing, we left perfectly safe and that helped us to relax and have a great lunch. A very tempting menu was on offer. I had the smoked salmon and prawns, with a dill dressing and salad to start, while my partner tucked into a fantastic ham hock and shredded duck terrine. We both went for the confit duck leg with a four bean cassolet and saute potatoes, which was superb and despite saying we wouldn't, of course we did do pudding. A spiced manderin and cranberry cheese cake was my choice and Dave went for 3 scoops of sorbet, 1 blood orange, one apple and dry cider and one coconut. All in all nothing has changed at The Duck, food is excellent, service warm and friendly, atmosphere extremely relaxing and Covid precautions excellent and unobtrusive, while totally effective. Need to find and excuse to go back and try more of that menu!

nice garden thought it was strange on 22nd march it was still serving people...with covid 19 i thought it very strange ..everyone seemed happy there

First visit, with family members. Delighted with the choice. ( Never been offered mooli in Somerset). I had panfried duck and it was lovely- others enjoyed pouched salmon and venison sausages. Mid week,so quiet. Hoping to return soon!

Waiter was rude. Food was ok, but no more than that. Deliberately ordered something without nuts (broccoli and Stilton soup) which came with bread, didn’t state it had nuts on the menu, only for it to arrive and be covered in walnuts. It was a massive inconvenience for them to change it, but when it came out it was nice.Steak was a bit chewy unfortunately.

My husband and I went for an evening meal on Valentines. When we arrived we were attended to right away. We were shown to our table where there was a rose waiting on one of the place settings. There were some lovely dishes on the menu. We enjoyed all our 3 courses which were generous and looked attractive on the plate. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine between us, which was a good price. The waiting staff were attentive and efficient. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

a lovely out of the way village pub,i booked via internet so easy,when we arrived we were given a very warm welcome,as we had booked for a meal i asked would it be okay to bring the dog in,this was no problem but dogs are not allowed in the restaurant we were offered a nice table in the bar (or the snug) The food was excellent i have coeliac and was very well catered for ,There was a warm friendly atmosphere during the whole visit ,The service was again very freindly and good

We booked a table for a Monday evening, neither of us had been here before but oh my goodness we will be back! The food was just perfect, my partner had a sea bass and ginger fishcake started and I had a Brie, Kale and roast carrot croquette, they were delicious. I felt I couldn’t visit the duck without sampling the duck so chose the duck breast main course, it was cooked to perfection! My partner is a chef and ordered the rib eye, he tends to find that not often is it cooked as it should be but he said that it melted in his mouth and was medium rare just as requested. There only seemed to be 2 visible members of staff but they were friendly, attentive and couldn’t do any more for us if they tried. The actual pub/restaurant was wonderfully decorated, we went during storm Ciara so it was horrendous weather, however we stepped into another world, the fire was roaring and the comfort and friendly atmosphere made us want to stay longer than expected. We will 100% recommend The Duck, we travelled from Weston-super-Mare but well worth the journey!!! If only it was our local!

Just returned home from a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Duck. Popped in on the off chance, a family of 7 and a dog so weren't feeling very optimistic about getting in .The car park was packed and people were parking on the road. Had such a warm lovely welcome and immediately felt at ease. All staff so lovely and cleared a space for us straight away in a quiet spot with plenty of room for the 4 kids and the dog . Very attentive and friendly service . Food outstanding ,very generous portion size, great variety of veg and meat so delicious and tender I don't think I will want to cook a roast at home ever again. If you have room after your main course puddings were also fabulous. Adults and kids very happy even the dog got some meat scraps from the kitchen so was happy too. Would highly recommend it and we will definitely be going back again very soon. Thank you all so much.

I’d heard so many good things about The Duck but we’d never managed to get there until last week and now I wish we’d made the trip months ago. We popped in for lunch and it was exceptional. My husband had the famous duck burger which he said was probably one of the nicest burgers he’d ever eaten and I had the fish and chips. I’ve never had fish and chips so utterly perfect before, perfectly crisp batter with beautifully cooked fish and incredibly good chips. Homemade tartare sauce that wasn’t too sharp but just right. The portions were very generous so we didn’t have room for pudding but we will definitely be going back to sample those and more of the wonderful sounding menu too. On the practical side, I use a walking stick and it was all perfectly accessible. The service was absolutely faultless too, we couldn’t have been better taken care of. See you guys again soon!

I’ve been here a few times with family and without fail, the food is ALWAYS beautiful cooked and the staff are lovely! They even allow dogs ❤️I would highly recommend this and would go far as saying it’s one of my top 5 restaurants! High standard of food cookery, good portion sizes and lovely, enjoyable atmosphere. P.S best pork belly and the duck with pak Choi is to die for!!!

Myself and my wife spent New Years Eve at The Duck in Burtle Somerset and what a lovely surprise it was.The food was amazing and the service was second to none.All the staff members made you feel very welcome from the moment we walked through the door.The prices are very reasonable and it’s lovely to know that virtually everything on the menu is freshly cooked and locally sourced and very very tasty.We couldn’t recommend this lovely pub/ restaurant and all of it’s staff any higher if we tried and will 100% definitely return on our next visit to Beautiful Somerset shortly.Definitely a 10 out of 10 rating

Lovely meal with the family Sunday Dinner all lovely cooked and tasty. The portions were huge so most of us couldn’t finish full plate but after a small break they squeezed in a pudding. Everyone went home satisfied would definitely recommend to friends and would definitely return x

I know you pay at least three times the amount for Christmas lunch but you would expect it to better than our experience. Very average food. No bread sauce and had to ASK for cranberry sauce. However what made it worse was the wait between courses! We were sat at 1.00 starter served 30 minutes later and then a 45 minute wait for the main. We left immediately after the dessert. Nearly 4 hours out of Christmas Day in a restaurant quite unacceptable. I’m afraid it’s the first and last time

came here for christmas dinner with my son and some friends.

My husband and I had a very nice meal here on a Saturday night. Both ordered steaks medium rare. The fillet was perfect,the ribeye was mainly done as requested but one section was blue rather than even rare. We drew attention to the issue with a waitress who offered to put it back on the heat. This offer was declined as it would have tightened the steak up again, additionally it was only 2 x 1inch square pieces that were too rare for my palate.

Fabulous food as usual. Been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Excellent. Very well looked after. Great prices and great staff - especially William who made us feel very welcomed. He’s a fantastic guy and is an asset to the Duck. Genuine, funny and kind man. Will go back soon

Visited this lovely pub with friends..all food cooked to perfection and served by happy friendly staff..spotlessly clean and a lovely ambience..a busy lively pub which is well worth a visit

Our first visit to the duck at burtle, Saturday lunch, very busy, good sign to us. I enjoyed the steak, perfectly cooked , my husband enjoyed the fish and chips, we both ordered desert, apple crumble and cheesecake, fantastic. We were very impressed and have booked to return over Christmas, cannot wait.

Roast was OK. Stilton and brocoli quiche was broccoli in a white bland sauce with some rubberised cheese on the top. The new potatoes on both dishes were dried out from being kept warm... Horrid and inedible. My salad had browning leaves. Would not come here again. Also we were served someone else's meal at first... And also my husband was served wrong meal yet again when mine was served. Absolute joke.

Was recommend this place by a friend and it was well worth the visit-

If you're looking for somewhere for a late Sunday lunch then try here as it's open till 7pm. I had the roast beef, very tasty with all the trimmings.

Lovely food , great staff. whats not to like. Lucky to have this wonderful pub on our doorstep almost

I am so pleased to have found this place. I was becoming most despondent about eating out locally, paying gastro prices in establishments that mainly transfer produce from a freezer to an oven or fryer, adding a token garnish and serving. Employing so called chefs that don’t even know the basics and where the customer is always wrong!

We visited the duck at Burtle for my birthday with family. We had a lovely lunch and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice outside area for the children to run around in and burn off some enery. Will definitely visit again.

We decided to try the food here with a view to booking Christmas lunch, we found the food to be OK, not exceptional, I had fillet steak which was cooked perfectly but the meat for fillet was very chewy. My husband had Duck which he said was really good. The thing I was quite surprised at, when we left it was very dark as it was a rainy night and there were no outside lights going to or in the carpark really quite dangerous, we couldn't see the paths so couldn't see if there were any steps or bumps.

Gorgeous surroundings, attentive staff and stunning food!!! Met with friends and kids, they loved the outdoor play area. It was a wonderful time spent and we very must hope to visit again soon!! To try the fish curry mainly!!

Went to the Duck for the first time for midweek dinner. Nice atmosphere, not too noisy and service attentive and friendly, but discreet. Menu was varied and using local produce. I had the pork belly which melted in the mouth and my wife had the Hungarian goulash which was authentic and tasty. Desserts also fresh and delicious. Total bill for 2 courses and drinks was just over £40 - amazing! Best restaurant we have found in the area.

Called in for lunch to try their new autumn menu which we found well balanced in choice with a few vegetarian dishes mixed with fish & meat together with pasta. The premises are clean and the staff helpful and knowledgeable

I decided to take my mother for a birthday treat to the Duck @ Burtle and what a treat it was for us both. Very welcome greeting, nice atmosphere, very attentive service without being over the top and excellent Duck for the main course. My mother’s dessert was at first thought a little small but the cheesecake was very rich and tasty so in fact just right. My cheeseboard was more than enough to round of a lovely supper at the Duck. We shall return.

We went to The Duck for Sunday lunch which was very good.

Once sampled, one is sure to return.. Unfailingly obliging and will try to satisfy every request - varied menu, well presented and cooked, an ideal venue for every occasion - or none!

Down for the weekend in Somerset with family we were taken here for a meal on Saturday night. The menu was nothing out of the ordinary but the food was good. The size of the chicken way over the top but was delicious and well cooked. Service at the bar and and in the restaurant was very good. One minor complaint was that at 9-30 at night I do not expect young children to be running around the pub and noisy children at that. A point that I feel needs to be addressed for the comfort of all customers.

Ate here one lunchtime with family. Serice attentive though food service a little slow. Problem is they have no lunchtime menu so unless you fancy a big full blown evening meal for lunch then best avoided. We live nearby and last had lunch there 2 years ago. Returned hoping the menu had changed. No salads, ploughmans, salads, soup, sandwiches or panini. No specials board for lunch either.

The pub had been hyped up by family and I was a little disappointed with the results.

We had passed this pub many times and finally got round to booking for lunch. Unfortunately the time we got there (standard 1pm lunchtime) they had a wedding party arriving also. We got drinks at the bar and was shown our table. We then waited 45 minutes for our food. When it came, my husband's meal was OK, nothing above average, but mine had clearly been reheated. My gravy, that was already poured on the plate, not in a separate jug, had congealed and my mash had an odd crust on it, yet the potato and cabbage in the centre were like molten lava! Maybe it was ready and due to the wedding party they forgot about it and then had to nuke it in the microwave! When you can't manage fresh mash potato when you have a busy shift, you have real problems! Sadly won't be returning to or recommending The Duck. :(

Been for both Sunday lunch and evening meal and quality of food and presentation been excellent. Staff very helpful and patient with an active 2 year old Helps that outside eating is available next to play area

Felt had to 'post' a review-as having read the poor review of the Father's Day meal ,just could not let it go ,at that. By bad luck we sat as a party ,adjacent to the 'poor' review party. I don't think I have heard ,or seen such an obnoxious person in many years. From the start he 'lorded' it up giving his views on the location ,pub,food & service plus some extreme views on life in general -not to just to his group ,but loud enough for half the pub to hear. What a prat-in days gone by ,feel sure someone would have asked him to 'discuss' these views in a different environment. He was quite intimidating to a young female member of the staff ,so really no wonder service went slow! Our party had an excellent meal -only spoilt by a rude bully.

well tried here again but nothingbhas changed food still really nothing to write home about and the staff no different ..wont bother again they really havent got it together at all and i agree that the manager is really useless...likes the look of himself i think!!!

After reading all past reviews it makes me feel the manager really doesn't like criticism at all

I think its best to break down our visit to show what happened.

Varied menu, great service, lovely outside space. We took overseas visitors and they loved the humongous Sunday Roast. Lots of parking.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here on the Bank Holiday Monday. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. This is somewhere we'll definitely visit again!

After hearing about this pub from a friend we have been meaning to go for a while, so what better time than a birthday meal for my dad.

What a lovely pub. Beautifully decorated great ambience and fantastic food. Try the pork steak with Apple mash and braised red cabbage absolutely delightful. Staff are very friendly and and always happy to help. 5* 😁

Great food and excellent service, fantastic location with the garden and ducks, the service was just the right pace, dog friendly, overall we had a fantastic Easter Sunday family meal!

Went for dinner on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was really busy, we had a bit of a wait but it was well worth it. The food was excellent and served nice and hot freshly cooked which was nice and refreshing. The service was good to say it was really busy and they did apologise for the wait. Overall the starters and mains were great plus the deserts although they were on the small size.

This pub nestled on the Somerset Levels near the RSPB reserve is an absolute gem & worth seeking out.

This was our first visit despite having lived in Burnham for 20 years!

This splendid restaurant offers everything. A fine selection of beers and wines, a menu of starters such as prawn and avocado, pigeon, and homemade soup. Mains include superb 14oz T-bone steak, Sirloin and Fillet, and a delightful pork belly offering. A wide selection, all freshly prepared and attractively presented. Portions are generous, so much so that we were unable to attempt the desserts menu, a pity as the list was varied to suit all palates.

Have visited a number of times and have always enjoyed our meals and service. This cost was our first time during the evening and was blown away. Service was second to none, the place was vibrant and alive and the food just fantastic! My wife and son ordered the duck burger and I opted for the belly pork and I did not regret. Served in an appropriate time my food was hot, tasted fantastic and mouth watering. All in all a great quick night out that we will repeat as often as possible. My picture unfortunately does not do my meal justice and you’ll have to try for yourself to believe how good it was

Been here 4-5 times since being told about if from Mr Lewis. A superb bar/restaurant, excellent food, excellent service and great drinks. Cannot recommend highly enough. Just difficult to find!!

Hidden gem I would call this place! Lovely pub recommended by my parents and went for lunch one afternoon! Very nice and Cosey, although I am not at all snobby with food, I was a bit dissapointed with the ham it was very fatty.

Great food, great service, great drinks. Toilets nice and clean too. The path along the front of the building is chippings , which is very poorly lit and the car park has no lighting at all which is bad I think. Any ladies with nice heels on be careful on the chippings and take a torch to get to and from your car.

Everything was 'Good'… Good Atmosphere Good Drinks Good Food Good Service from a very Good Looking Bar Manager (Chris) Recommended

We live about 20 minutes away and this was our third or fourth visit. On previous occasions we have been in a party of 4 and ordered wine by the bottle. But when you go out as a couple and one of you is driving you cannot drink a bottle so you depend on good selections of wine by the glass. Unfortunately the Duck does not meet this criterion. They have only three reds by the glass. One Chilean, one Argentinian, and on South African, though the last of these was not available so that reduced the choice to two. If you prefer European , Australian or New Zealand reds, as we do, that leaves you stuck. This is bad business decision making by the Duck. Wine by the glass is a big and profitable product line. A poor selection of choices reduces sales. Most of the other pubs with similar food standards in a 30 minute drive radius have a much better wine choice than the Duck. This is a pity because the Duck has a good ambience and competent food.
