The Duck Inn in Canterbury

Arrived to a very loud and noisy bar to find out our table was next to the door, across from the bar and next to noisy drinkers. We waited 15 mins for a drink although the drinkers at the bar where served ahead of our drinks order.....we knew then we had made a mistake! The food was excellent we both cleared our plate but atmosphere, service and attention to detail was lacking. Would not return in the immediate future.

A beautifully located pub with country charm. Staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to make our visit a success. The food, wow, what a treat! Beautifully presented and complements to the chef at the quality and presentation of the food. Food was hot and plentiful, lovely selection of desserts. Wine beautifully chilled. All in all, I will definitely be going back. 5 stars from me.

Wow wow wow!! Awesome service, the two lads were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough. The food was one of the best meals I have ever had. The pork belly melted in my mouth followed by a stunning rich chocolate fondant. 100% recommended!!! 5 star all day long!! Can’t wait to go back!!!

What a wonderful evening. Thank you! Food was incredible!! Beautifully presented and was so tasty. The staff were attentive and a lovely atmosphere in the pub. Will definitely be back.

We visited in 2022 with friends and on arrival were told the pub was shut due to a power outage….although suspiciously the lights were still on. Still hopeful I booked again in June 2023 as part of a hiking holiday. Booked last weekend, received a chasing email yesterday to confirm and they even took a deposit. 5 hrs before our booking we received an email saying our booking had been cancelled. No courtesy call or anything. I called them and they didn’t answer but upon chasing they responded that the pub had been shut for months on a Wednesday, they hadn’t updated their website or their booking system so we’re not opening. So frustrated as we had walked 13 miles to get here and organised our whole trip around this venue. Terrible customer service and terrible communication. In an age where we are constantly being reminded to support our local pubs perhaps some local pubs could stop taking us for granted as well and get their admin and customer service in check!!! Booked twice and had booking cancelled twice!!! Terrible

We’ve been to The Duck a few times and the food had always been excellent. However, this Sunday lunch we ordered the Roast Beef and unfortunately it was tough and stringy, not pleasant at all to eat. A shame, since I took my whole family there and recommended the place heartily - but they were all disappointed by how chewy the meat was.

We had the Sunday roast lamb with all the trimmings, it was really lovely couldn’t fault it. We did think it quite pricey for what it is, especially as the pub itself is nothing fancy and could do with a refurb (especially the garden). Overall good food, good service, worth a try.

The food was ok for a pub meal however we were expecting something a bit more special from this rather highly rated place. No particular atmosphere. The waiters were quite formal and a bit pushy for ordering more. Our white wines were served too chilled even for white wines. Getting there through narrow lanes was a bit of a challenge.

The Duck is a great traditional country gastropub serving modern, traditional British food. The pub has a fairly remote location in a little village about 5 miles from Canterbury. Its unassuming exterior reveals a cosy, simple yet elegant interior with scrubbed oak tables, an open fire, a beautiful garden and views across the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed a 3 course dinner here on a Saturday evening. Whilst the food was really good there were a few minor issues with our mains. We started the evening with the tempura local cod which came with a creamy and rich Durban curry mayonnaise, lime and coriander which was absolutely delicious. Then for mains we had the slow roasted pork belly with roasted carrots, carrot puree, greens, burnt apple purée and mash and the 30 day aged ribeye steak with a mixed leaf salad, truffle and parmesan fries. The presentation was excellent and the dishes were flavoursome with generous portion sizes but the steak was cooked more medium than medium rare and one of the pieces of pork was over cooked and a little dry and chewy with an impenetrable piece of crackling which was virtually impossible to cut. For dessert we enjoyed the spring berry Eton mess with raspberry sorbet washed down with a glass of Chateau Delmond Sauternes 2018 which were both superb. The staff looked stressed and were a little unfriendly at times. There were only two members of staff covering both the bar and restaurant and whilst there were only a few tables occupied they were clearly struggling. Sadly this is a reflection of the times with the hospitality industry in general struggling to find and retain staff. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and the fine dining experience. The menu is forward thinking and innovative and the chef is clearly very talented. The prices are very reasonable and apparently they do the best Sunday roast here for miles around which, of itself, is a great reason to return (and that we will most definitely be doing).

Gem of a country pub! Family dinner, perfect in every way! Food was delicious, service was fabulous couldn’t fault! Hard to choose from the menu. All sounded amazing. Outstanding chicken liver parfait, braised beef on toast. Hake, lamb and 1Kg rib Beef , Parmesan truffle fries to die for! All devoured. Even fitted in room for dessert. Or should I say inhaled. The guys are doing an amazing job. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing lunch at the Duck Inn,the food was amazing, and the service was super good. Its a 9 out of 10 from us, and will definitely come back again.

Fantastic meal, highly recommend and wonderful, friendly service. We have been to The Duck many times and it is always great

So disappointed. From the minute we walked in it wasn’t going well. Despite booking we were placed in the draughtiest table next to the door rather than the restaurant. Took ages for the staff to take our order and we had to ask for a replacement side plate because it was chipped. Food was ok but nothing amazing. Dinner was served and had clearly been sitting on the pass as it wasn’t very warm. Lamb was well cooked but not sure what the brown rectangle it was sitting on was. In total it took 2 1/2 hrs for our meal and we are not slow eaters. The service was very slow and I was told that was because there was only 2 staff. Hint: you need to employ more staff and train them properly. Final straw was to find the tap in the gents toilet wasn’t working so unable to wash hands. Not only unacceptable but probably illegal in terms of H &S.

Whist on a walking holiday with friends, we stumbled across this sweet little pub. Upon entering, we saw three tables of twos eating (seemingly very quiet) and two bar staff who told us we couldn’t eat before we had even finished walking through the door. When asked for a drink, one bar staff (male) was friendly whilst the female seemed totally inconvenienced saying there was only one person in kitchen and only the two of them on the floor. Me and friend went up to the bar to order whilst the woman was behind and she did not look at us in the eye and continued pottering. A couple walked in and whilst they were also ignored for a couple of minutes, they were then welcomed and offered their seat, water etc. Eventually, we had to ask the woman if she could come back and serve us. She was very blunt and said we had to wait. If the place was busy, we wouldn’t have minded but it was quiet. Once served the drinks, we asked if we could have a portion of chips. Again we were told no with no apology. My friend and I kept looking at one another because her rudeness was totally out of place for such a quiet, sweet pub. The card machine didn’t have a secure wifi connection and without apologising, we were told to redo, twice before we offered them cash. It was all a bit bizarre. Clearly the staff couldn’t cope with service and we suggest more competent / more staff.

An all round lovely experience, cute place, friendly service both attentive and pleasant. Tasty food.

A lovely country pub in deepest darkest Kent - and the talented Dean is the chef. Everything you served was delicious - thank you X And it’s pet friendly

Group of 9 for my fathers 90th birthday. Wonderful rural location with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service, with excellent food, wine and beer. Have been before and will come again.

AVOID, customer service is the worst I have ever experienced!!! Phoned and asked if a table would be available for Mother’s Day was told we could fit you in at 13.15, received a booking confirmation so turned up on Mother’s Day to be told our...

A birthday lunch with the boy, wife and in-laws. The dog stayed at home. We went for the mussels and tempura cod to start. Boy and father in law loved the mussels which were plump and gorgeous, while the cod was perfectly moist and wrapped...

Lovely pub with plenty of character nice open fire. I had a table booked for 3 of us took our order pritty quick, it then took nearly an hour to get to our table my mums salmon was nice but my brothers and my burgers...

Best roast in Kent . Amazing service superb food. I had the beef and my other half the pork, both beautifully cooked , cod as a starter was sublime . We will be back .

Great food and service. Really enjoyed the visit, we had planned to go for a while. Lovely interior and setting.

The venue was quite quiet when I arrived but got much busier as the service continued. It became clear that many calls to the venue plus pop ins were failures as they were fully booked. They are unquestionably one staff member short, not unusual in...

Visited on a Wednesday night and was so glad that the place was almost full. That’s not surprising though as despite being in deepest darkest countryside the food and service are absolutely outstanding. The best focaccia I’ve had outside Liguria, a superb starter of tempura...

We knew of The Duck Inn by reputation through our daughter. On that recommendation we chose to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary there. We have never had a better meal anywhere in our fairly extensive international travels. Dean and team suggested possible menus. We chose...

Sunday Roast. Really excellent meal here today. Delicious warm focaccia bread with Juicy olives before well presented starters - lots of choice here for a Sunday menu . Both Lamb and Beef for our mains were excellent cuts of meat with a good amount of...

My husband and I went here for dinner and were so impressed by the food and friendly service. Their homemade bread was amazing (so much so I had more for dessert). I had the pate starter and my husband had the tomato and whipped goats...

We have now visited on two separate occasions and each time it’s been absolutely fantastic. The staff are welcoming and the food is phenomenal. We’ve recommended to all our friends and family.

Absolutely do not miss this place. Relaxed friendly service, fabulous food and excellent value. I am kicking myself for not visiting this hidden gem earlier. I’m quick to criticise but found no fault here. I will be back very soon!

We came with high hopes through a lot of narrow country lanes in the dark and the rain and were very pleased to reach The Duck. We had already booked ( with some difficulty as phone and email weren't being responded to) so we got...

Four of us enjoyed the most excellent lunch today. Superb cookery and immaculate service. In my opinion Michelin Star standard. Dogs welcome too.

I have visited The Duck many times over the years and this was by far the best. The menu is really good, however, I wanted the Guinea fowl but I cannot eat leeks and shallots and the staff were really helpful and adapted the dish...

Suberb quality food. I has fish in a saffron sauce- it was divine. Even the bread and olives as a starter were in a class of their own. Not the cheapest place around, but you get what you pay for. Staff were great- efficient, friendly...

Simply the best food around! An unassuming, but charming, country pub/ restaurant. We have eaten here several times this year. On each occasion the food has been quite exquisite. Friendly , knowledgeable staff. Definitely preferable to some of the Michelin starred restaurants in East Kent....

Amazing food! Everything’s was top quality. And the staff are so friendly & nothing is too much trouble. Knowledgable & they go out of their way to make you feel welcome & relaxed.

Firstly I am surprised there aren’t more recent reviews,I hadn’t checked Trip Advisor before booking a table which is perhaps as well or I may have been put off. I suggest you ignore the oldest reviews as they seem totally irrelevant. Moving on…we had a...

We visited here after reading a recommendation online from a Kent website. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly. Hot food was served hot and cold food was served cold. That may sounds simple, but some places find it difficult to...

Dean and his new team, new menu and fantastic presentation never failed to deliver. Would highly recommend the Duck to anyone who enjoys great food at honest prices to book asap. Also presented me with a beautifully decorated birthday plate

I went with friends off the back of a recommendation and was not disappointed. We quickly realised a BBQ was the order of the day as we could smell it as we were cycling towards the pub (it smelt divine). We all had different dishes,...

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of hosting my birthday party at The Duck Inn for a party of 14. Dean (proprietor and chef) had put together a fantastic selection of food, including stuffed courgette flowers, monkfish tails and rib of beef! The food was...

What an excellent night! Food, atmosphere and staff were top class. We went for my husbands birthday and were so pleased we did. Whilst we have eaten there before the new team and menu surpassed all of our expectations, highly recommend booking a night out...

We were recommended to visit the Duck Inn by a friend. We thought we would try a Sunday lunch. It was extremely busy when we arrived and things took a little time to happen. Sunday lunch was 2 courses for £30 and 3 for £35....

We found this gem through the Michelin guide. The food was incredible, the staff is nice, the pricing is more than fair. The menu is diverse, and each dish is very refined. If I am ever back in the area, I'll definitely make a detour...

This pub is in the middle of nowhere, and you had better doublecheck if it is working. I came during business hours but the owner didn’t give a sh@t, he had decided to have a day off, so I left being hungry.

11 of us for a special birthday Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and inventive, huge portions and plenty of choice. Everything was served up hot which is no mean feat when you're catering for large numbers. Service was excellent - friendly and courteous without...

It says something about a restaurant when all of the four of us could have happily chosen every single thing on the menu. The starters were hotly debated with one settling on the chicken and duck terrine, two of us choosing the asparagus with the...

We had an excellent starter main and pudding thoroughly reccemend it . The pate is so smooth it's like ice cream steaks we're melt in the mouth.

Haven’t been fir few years so wasn’t sure what to expect however wasn’t disappointed. Superb food & excellent food. Portion sizes definitely bigger than before so next visit May skip starter. We had pork chop & was amazing.

Excellent food, beautifully prepared. Interesting menu mix of original items, tempura haddock and stone bass, with “standards” like steak, fish & chips and pork belly. Desserts include an original take on lemon posset that was superb. Reasonable prices, pleasant staff - also trained staff. Only...

Meant to go on new year's eve but the pub had to close due to an outbreak of covid but back last night and excellent all round, my wife said her soup was best she's ever had. Great food done very well at sensible prices...

Recent family visit for my mum's birthday following a recommendation! Couldn't have picked a better restaurant for a Kentish pub near Canterbury with good food! Really friendly staff, great food, reasonable prices and beautiful surroundings - what more could you want! Out in the sticks...

An end of week lunch for 2. The service was friendly and effective. The restaurant has upmarket decor with a country pub ambience. Absolutely delightful food, all very reasonably priced given the quality and execution of the meal (bread and olives, 2 starters, 2 mains...

Went for lunch with two regulars who live in the area. Food was excellent, albeit a tad pricey. Service was attentive. It is a pity that, with half the dinning area closed, the tables were too close together which made dinning somewhat uncomfortable. No doubt...

Went for supper with friends. Food very good and generous portions. The seating though really needs sorting. I've no back problems, but by the main course the others were saying they were uncomfortable and I was actually in pain. Such a shame as this would...

My husband an I were in the area for a funeral. We read the reviews and made our way. Service was fantastic. Luke Was knowledgeable about the wines, patient when I couldn’t choose & perfect serving. Food was outstanding. Fresh, hot, beautifully presented. The tagliatelle...

So as I have a dog I like looking at places to walk and the eat after. After going on the website with it saying “muddy boots and dogs welcome” I was optimistic as the food and restaurant looks too nice for it to be...

The service was excellent. The food was very tasty. I has haddock tempura On curry mayonnaise. Very light batter with very large flakes of haddock. The pork collar very tensor and accompanied with tasty vegetables and mash. Creme brûlée light with a crunchy topping .

Absolutely incredible pub! Great food and drinks, incredible service and amazing atmosphere! Could not recommend this place enough!

Lovely friendly pub/restaurant serving superbly cooked food. Good menu choices catering for all tastes with unfussy but attentive service. Unusually good acoustics for those of us who struggle with noise and easy to have a conversation.

Food was so good. There are some great restaurants in the area such as the bridge arms and the pig but this genuinely was on par if not better! The portion sizes were also ample. Really impressed.

Really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Tasty food a good wine selection and friendly service. I shall definitely be visiting again.

We love The Duck. Open fires, friendly staff, delicious food & pet friendly - in the beautiful Kent countryside Thank you to the team X

Absolutely delicious lunch with a good choice of dishes and great service. Not cheap but worth every penny. We will definitely return.

Came here for lunch with my friends. Amazing food and service. Thanks to Luke, Callum and Dean for such a wonderful experience.

We visited as a party of 12, split into two groups of six, and we were all impressed. The staff were polite & attentive and the quality of the food, very good.The menu isn’t large but it covers a good choice, depending on whether you prefer meat, fish or poultry. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for & it was worth every penny. All in all it’s a very good gastro pub indeed.

This is out 3rd visit to the Duck, Our last time was in January 2016 and the food is still delicious. We had Lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We will be back soon.

We visited as a family of five for Father’s Day for the first time and were really impressed with everything from the service to the food. We all had three courses and everything we ordered was delicious. The roast was especially tasty coming with very generous helpings of roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese. We will definitely be visiting again and will be recommending for Sunday lunches.

Had lunch in the duck and all i can’t fault it. The service was so attentive. My wife and I went in after our cycle ride and received a warm warming from a lovely Irish lady who was our waitress for the day, we enjoyed food in the garden. Food was top notch and service first class, lovely to have a quick visit from the neighbouring horse. Would highly recommended.

Went to this lovely place with my partner for his birthday and can say without a doubt was a great shout.The staff were very welcoming and friendly, very attentive and couldn’t of asked for a better service.The food was amazing couldn’t fault it and we ate out in the garden which was a lovely setting. They went out of their way to make sure we had a lovely meal and one staff member in particular the Irish lady called AJ really went the extra mile

Excellent! De loin le meilleur restaurant qu'on ait testé au UK ! Une vraie bonne cuisine, avec, et c'est rare, des cuissons hyper maîtrisées.Produits frais et faits maison, un régal, doublés d'un accueil chaleureux !Fantastic! The best restaurant we've tested in the UK so far! They know how to master cookings and all the products are home made and fresh! Everything was delicious including the welcome! We will be back!

Very relaxing garden setting and warm service. Inside looked lovely too. Delicious food for every course and good value for the high quality of the food. Baby change but no bin for the nappy or any bins in the ladies loo was a bit of an odd one but a kind member of staff allowed us to leave a nappy bag with them for the commercial bin.

I booked a table at this pub months in advance, yet a few days before my booking I emailed for good order to confirm and they said they didn’t have my booking. It’s a bank holiday so now it’s too late to book anywhere else and really just ruined my Sunday. There was email evidence of the booking, and they just stopped responding to emails. Terrible customer service would avoid! Extremely rude and very disappointing, I’ve never ever had a restaurant let me down like that before particularly when there’s a clear email exchange relating to the booking. Shocking.

The photos don’t do this food justice. Beautifully presented and taste that you don’t often find anymore. The steak was the most flavourful I’ve ever had and the flourless chocolate cake was divine. We all had perfect meals and immediately tried to book again for the following day. Sadly no availability and you can see why. We loved that the chef came round after our meal and shared the secret of the chocolate pudding. Thank you to the delightful Irish waitress. This place is a gem. Worth coming ack to Kent just for The Duck Inn.

Stunning food in a beautiful setting .This place has it all . Fantastic service from the manager and lovely Irish lady .The food speaks for itself, what and incredible chef dean is. the mix of flavours and quality of the food is some of the best I have ever eaten . Second visit this month I intend to make my way through this incredible menu . Cheers team for such an enjoyable and personable experience.

Wonderful birthday lunch at The Duck. Delicious food and friendly staff. Thank you so much, I will be back.

Food was absolutely amazing. Service with a smile and haste… no holds barred. Dean and the team are phenomenal!!! I certainly will be returning when they have space!

Friendly welcome, excellent service and very good food. Good atmosphere. Beef was tender and chicken very tasty. Vegetables fresh and tasty.

Came here for a lunch with some friends and all three of us had the cote de boeuf. Best meal I’ve ever had, beautifully cooked and amazing service. The tomatoes were so fresh and tasted so good. I had a Pannacotta to finish which was amazing as well. Highly, highly recommend.

Fantastic service and food. Husband said the smoke mackerel starter was lovely.All had different main meals and all wonderful. Huge yorkshire pudding to share.My daughter said her flourless chocolate with honeycomb ice cream and raspberries was one of the best desserts she'd ever had.Thank you to everyone at The Duck

An amazing meal in a lovely location with very attentive staff. We enjoyed a two course set menu (£26) which for me included the pork croquette to start and the treacle glazed beef for main. The roast beef came with the most amazing roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, broccoli & cabbage and a Yorkshire. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Apresúrese a The Duck Inn Pett Bottom Canterbury todos los buenos fanáticos de la comida. Cena de tres platos 28. 50 por persona. Entrantes como la tarta de hojaldre de paleta de venado local. Platos principales como Tandoori Rape y Postres como Lemon Posset. Malbec a un precio razonable. Las bebidas se sirven con prontitud, los pedidos se toman rápido. Comida cocinada a la perfección entregada por camareras a toda velocidad. Una experiencia completamente relajante durante una larga comida. Sin interrupciones preguntando por la calidad de la comida. Una de las mejores, si no la mejor comida en el área de Canterbury en los últimos años. Volveremos.

Nos lo pasamos de maravilla en el Duck Inn, Petra Bottom. Una comida deliciosa para 4. La comida era excelente y el servicio de arena muy atento, todos sentimos que las prácticas de Covid estaban muy bien administradas. Un lugar agradable y acogedor. Definitivamente volveremos. Gracias.

Viajar a Pett Bottom para llegar al Duck Inn es un poco accidentado con las carreteras estrechas y sinuosas, pero cuando llegas allí, todo vale la pena. El personal era muy bueno y servicial y la cena y la tabla de quesos eran muy deliciosos. Estás rodeado de libros de cocina en abundancia en sus estantes y los olores de la cocina te dan una anticipación para morirse. En general, fue una experiencia realmente agradable.

¡Un cliente que regresa pero quedo impresionado como siempre! ¡Su asado es tan sabroso! Cada parte tiene un sabor diferente y se cocina a la perfección (por lo general, un asado en un pub tiene el mismo sabor). Los entrantes, postres y pan para empezar también son fantásticos. ¡Gran servicio también! Con suerte, será un elemento básico de invierno después de una larga caminata dominical :)

Cenamos aquí una noche durante nuestra estancia en The Pig y ¡fue genial! Un pub antiguo con carácter y encanto, además de comida de primera y un servicio cálido, amable y eficiente. (Además, el chef apareció al final de la noche para comprobar que habíamos comido bien).El menú fijo también tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio.Muy recomendable si estás en la zona.

Today was my second visit to the Duck, introduced to me by my stepfather. The standard of food is exceptional, from start to finish it was and always is stunning. It’s my favourite place to eat!

Este es un hermoso pub en un paisaje increíble. Actualmente estamos sentados en este pub y llegamos después de que dejaron de servir comida. Llegamos con mi hijastra que llevaba una faja de cumpleaños porque es su noveno cumpleaños. El personal se encargó de hablar con el chef y, aunque habían dejado de preparar comida, se acercaron con una increíble rebanada de pastel de chocolate, con helado y una vela, solo para ella. Brillante toque centrado en la familia. Muy apreciado.

Viajamos en coche desde Londres para almorzar en The Duck Inn. El Duck Inn era uno de los "lugareños" favoritos de Fleming: encuentre su asiento preferido, marcado con una placa, en los pintorescos jardines. En You Only Live Twice se revela que James Bond pasó sus primeros años, bajo la tutela de una tía, en una pequeña cabaña al lado de "la atractiva Duck Inn" en la "aldea de Pett Bottom, de nombre pintoresco". Esa misma cabaña ahora es parte del pub.Tres de nosotros tuvimos el bacalao y patatas fritas que era muy bueno, pero no excelente. Lo mismo sucedió con los linguini de verduras asados de verano (dos aceitosos con demasiado ajo). Pequeña lista de vinos con algunos vinos decentes.El servicio fue excelente.

Encontré este pequeño y pintoresco pub mientras se hospedaba cerca en The Pig. Muy ocupado, pero a pesar de eso, una cálida bienvenida de Emily y Ash, quienes nos ofrecieron una bebida mientras esperábamos.Excelentes opciones de vinos y cervezas y un menú fijo.Compartimos un entrante de eglefino en tempura que fue realmente excepcional, seguido de un lomo de cerdo del que mi esposo todavía está hablando, y la pasta de verduras más deliciosa para mí.Luego compartimos un posset de limón que de alguna manera logramos devorar a pesar de estar TAN lleno.Las porciones son enormes, la comida está caliente, fresca y absolutamente deliciosa. Servicio encantador en un entorno precioso, así es como deberían ser los pubs.Gracias ??

This quaint country pub is a real gem. Tucked away in the small village of Pett Bottom, you’d easily miss it, but it’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area. Amazing food with a real friendly welcome! Would recommend booking as it seems to be very popular!

El Duck Inn es bien conocido en la zona por las razones correctas. La comida nunca decepciona, una gran variedad y siempre deliciosa. El servicio fue excelente teniendo en cuenta las precauciones de Covid, personal muy informado y atento sin ser autoritario. Un delicioso y tranquilo asado dominical con amigos en un pub inglés por excelencia.

The food is reasonably interesting but overall the Duck is more expensive than it is worth. Other restaurants in the area are noticeably better value. Little effort is made to provide a C-19 secure environment - waiting staff do not wear masks, visors or gloves and get needlessly close to customers. Possibly the building is too small to organise effectively for current needs, which should be made clear to customers in advance.

Grew up nearby in Barham and have been coming to the Duck for years This is the best I've ever seen it. Pub full for Sunday lunch, Covid measures in place and great selection of drinks. Had a perfect hour in the garden chatting to my dad over a very well-kept cask-drawn ale from Romney Marsh and watching the beautiful thoroughbred horses in the meadow next door, and then the landlady let us have some cooking apples from their tree to take away. Thanks! Really enjoyed being there and will be back again soon.

Went to this pub today with my Wife, Daughter and Young Grandson. Service was Excellent nothing was to much trouble. The food was Devine the portions were massive I did attempt to eat it all but failed very sorry to the Owner, Chef Dean for my failure. I can recommend the roast beef and the creme brûlée was to die for although hope that does not happen as plan to take my son and his wife there very soon.Ps did try my wife’s Pork tenderloin and my daughter flourless Chocolate cake both mouth watering. Thank you to all at The Duck Inn for a great meal

Visited this little gem of a pub nestled in to the beautiful Kent countryside for lunch yesterday 13/8. From the swift and efficient booking made with Becky to the outstanding service delivered by Emma and Dean the food was at a different level. Wow wow wow. Just talented use of local fresh products. Pork belly just melted in your mouth. Hats off to Callum for the Cheesecake!! Truly amazing. In summary make sure you book and turn up because this place is small cosy but with enough space to feel relaxed. Thanks again for making our lunch special. Graham and Michelle.

Visited today (14th aug) as part of my staycation, put simply a lovely country pub which has a talented chef at the helm. I had rib eye, with triple cooked chips, an amazing citrus salad, and my wife had Moules Mariniere, both were simply fab. great ingredients, well cooked.. fab, the beer garden overlooks a field full of roaming horses too.

We had a lovely meal with heaps to choose from on a great menu! Welcoming staff team with a nice buzz both inside and outside in the adjoining gardens. Fantastic drinks menu, particularly gins with a really easy 700m walk back up the hill to our delightful abode on Broxhill Farm.

Another brilliant meal here, this time in the garden enjoying the amazing views of the surrounding hills and the horses in the field next to the pub garden. We all had three courses and the food was sensational and the puddings are worth saving some space for!

Dropped in for a swift Saturday lunchtime 'sharpener ' with wife last weekend. There were plenty of happy looking diners enjoying their food in lovely surroundings, we just had a pint each. The staff serving us were warm, welcoming and friendly, especially for 'drinkers' in a food pub. My Old Dairy IPA was in perfect condition, my wife's Curious Brew Cider was delicious.....so a different and better drink product range than many surrounding pubs, and truly nice staff. Well done guys, we will come back to feast soon.

Once again an excellent lunch at the Duck. We had the veggie wellington, which was delicate and rich - excellent pastry and mushroom sauce. The fish was also good and the deserts were fabulous!
