Steve Lewis our artist in residence

If you have eaten at our pub you will have undoubtedly sat beneath one of Steve's beautiful paintings. Steve has graced our walls with his natural and delightful paintings of our local coastline since we opened in 2013. Our customers adore Steve's gentle oil paintings and pastel work, we have even had a customer drop by to his studio after seeing his work and buy three paintings. 

To learn more about Steve Lewis and his stunning work you can check out his website here.

We say goodbye to Yusuf

When we opened in March 2013 we hit the ground running. Yusuf joined us sous chef and has blessed us with his hard work, dedication and creativity. Yusuf has been a loyal part of #teamduck since the beginning.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to him this week. We are however all thrilled that he is moving onto great things at the two Michelin starred restaurant run by David Everitt-Mathias, Le Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham. 

A heartfelt goodbye from us all here at #TeamDuck We wish Yusuf the very best of luck in his new and exciting chapter.

Burns Night & Valentines Day

Now we are all dusting off our Christmas and New Year over indulgence, eating salads and attempting dry January it's time to throw that all out of the window and sip a wee dram on Burns Night. We shall be celebrating Burns Night on January 24th with Ben's take on Cock a leekie, Haggis from the marvellous Macsween Haggis in Edinburgh and his stunning version of Tipsy Laird.

Sam Handley will be serving up Whiskey Mac's on the bar for those that love a warming tipple. 

Valentines day Saturday Feb 14th 

To celebrate the romance this February we are offering some delicious sharing dishes. Ben is bringing back The New Yorker rib steak for two and depending on the best fish that day either turbot or brill to share cooked on the bone. Sam is offering up Peach Bellini cocktails on the bar and we are chilling my personal favourite the pink Laurent Perrier. 

You can pre order your New Yorker and champagne now on 01485 518330.
