We had our wedding here 16th August 2024, the managers are brilliant, they went above and beyond for us, our day went so brilliantly, we honestly couldn't have asked for better, all the guests remarked on how great the food was and everyone was full because they ate so much, I highly recommend checking out this place if you are searching for your wedding venue.

I went in for a wee bite to eat. I ordered a wild duck burger. It was unreal and scrumptious. It was very juicy and creamy with all the dressings and fillings. Staff were lovely including my server Jamie

Takeaway review we ordered the Wednesdays mega box and what a box of food this was!!!! 2 buffalo burgers ( so tasty) portion of chicken curry ( massive bits of roasted chicken) rice, honey chilli cocktail sausages, 4 chicken goujons, salt and chilli chips, prawn crackers and two lovely, strong and tasty dips of garlic mayo and curry mayo! All cooked to perfection! Whole box was unreal and the best value for money around! thank you and we will be back! PS this was our 1st time getting a takeaway so parked round the back and went in the door on the left by the wall to get our order as we didn't know where to go as no signs

We had a family birthday party for over 50 people in Feb 2005. I had eaten there once some years ago but was concerned about the choice of venue I need not have worried. Excellent in every way! Nicely presented function room - just the right size for our event. The management and staff were very friendly, helpful and flexible. The food was first rate and service was very efficient. Would thoroughly recommend

Went here for dinner with my partner as we were staying at the chalet beside the river. The food can be a hit or miss when going to a pub restaurant but this was a real surprise. We shared the mushrooms for a starter and had the sea bass and the steak for mains which were both great, got half portions for dessert each to finish off the dinner. The portions were generous and the half portion desserts looked like full portions. We left feeling full and satisfied with the meal. Would return if we were in the area again.

Wild Duck Inn offers a menu that truly celebrates the richness of flavors. Their selection of steaks, including the 10oz Blackened Rump Steak and Wild Duck Steak, are the showstoppers here, celebrated for their tender cuts and bold seasonings. But it's not just about steak; the Steak Sandwich and Chicken & Steak dishes offer something for everyone, catering to both meat lovers and those looking for variety.

Starters such as the classic Prawn Cocktail and the zesty Salt N Chilli Chicken set the stage for a truly satisfying meal. Each dish is complemented by thoughtful presentation and an emphasis on quality ingredients.

Don't overlook the desserts, either! Treat yourself to the Avlova or indulge in the rich Chocolate Fudge—both options are superb ways to conclude your dining experience.
