First time we have been since the move to the larger premises. The food is still first class and now has some cheaper options on the menu. It was a bit loud in the restaurant.

Very well cooked meat. Some more veg would be nice but service was great and food was really good.

A hidden Gem. Excellent food, lovely surroundings, and friendly staff
Laura Cabe
Great food. Highly recommend.

The main star on the plate was well cooked and tasted good. Shower the pairing with a house salad, consisting of lettuce was very strange and did not match the rest of the dish. Really nice lamb, but you had to choose your side dish, so only mash or cabbage. Lettuce did not go with this dish. Very expensive for Lam, mash and lettuce.
I used to frequent this restaurant regularly before they moved premises and the food was of a better quality and more on the plate that matched

Came for Sunday lunch today as a party of 3, we all thoroughly enjoyed our mains, everything was so flavoursome, the beef was so tender and fell apart whilst cutting it. As for the desserts, superb, the peach Melba was one of the best desserts I have had for a long time. Also would like to mention the service, both girls who served us were very attentive and delivered great customer service.

Top marks. Had a lovely two course meal for two. Lamb was delicious. TBH it was all excellent. Service was friendly and as expected. Recommended.

Excellent experience ?

Superb meal with the husband. Service was fantastic, food was faultless. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Had the lamb and the rarebit, very well cooked and flavoursome. Very reasonably priced as well. A fantastic meal after a hard day!!!!
Yummmmmm. What an absolute treat last nights meal was. Perfect for a special occasion. We chose to share a number of things so we could try as much as possible, the steak, the duck liver pate and the arancini balls were stand outs but all was delicious. Would definitely recommend if visiting the area.

We stop on the way home, the food is fresh and made from local ingredients. Very talented chefs . Traditional food made for perfection. We really enjoyed this place. Service was second to none.

We had a wonderful experience at The Stubborn Duckling. As soon as we walked in, we felt welcomed by the friendly barman, the decor was lovely and there was a very nice ‘vibe’ to the place. We had a drink in the bar area as we were early and then was taken into the restaurant for our food. The waitresses were very friendly and accommodation . My husband had the burger and fries and I had the curry and rice. Both were delicious and the portions were generous. The food is very reasonably priced in my opinion. We will definitely be back! A true hidden gem!

Friday 27th June, for 7:30 booking. We were a party of 8 adults, with 2 of us celebrating a Birthday. No 1, starters was very poor and tasteless. 2 persons had the Spring Rolls, which were very small with no taste at all, the duck filling was lacking in any particular taste and very sparse. Others that had starters said it was just ok, and very underwhelming. No 2, two had the beef and Guinness pie which was a very small potion and shallow ( more of a child’s portion) and again lacking in taste and flavour. We asked at ordering, if we could have extra gravy….. it was brought out in a small Pyrex measuring jug, and to be honest and in my opinion made from a tub of gravy granules. Very disappointing. The fish pie had by 4 customers were very dissapointing being quite dry, and a portion of green beans on the plate which was unedible. Aldente would have been acceptable but these were practically raw, every one left them. I could go on regarding the desserts, but I will leave it at that. Unfortunately every one was very dissapointed with their food and evening. We had previously visited the old restaurant many times, and had never had a bad meal. But we felt very underwhelmed, felt it was definitely not up to Chef standards sadly, and if we are honest couldn’t believe that this food which was served to us, was actually the original Chef. Maybe it wasn’t!!!! It was a very dissapointing meal, and the 8 of us will not be returning. Our bill was £346, which was a total waste of money. The reviews shown, are mostly of 5=stars, so we can only come to the conclusion that something was very much off in the kitchen this evening. The one saving grace, they did bring out 2 plates for the Birthday couple with a chocolate written Birthday greeting on the plate, with 2 macaroons with 2 pieces of fudge. Thank you for that, it was very appreciated.
