The Duck has the most delicious food and one of the nicest pubs in Kent. My family and I have been to The Duck several times before and not once have we been disappointed. The service is impeccable especially as there was a large group of us along with two toddlers the staff handled everything well and were very attentive in making sure we had drinks and everything was good with our food. In the pub there was games which helped to occupy the children. The roast dinner is very tasty and the combination roast means that you get the best of all the meats. The food has never disappointed and always exceeds expectations. The atmosphere of the pub is a warm comfy country pub which caters to everyone. Cannot wait for the next trip back to The Duck!

The best meal I have had in a long time, what an idyllic location for a Sunday walk and roast. The staff was incredible including our lovely waitress Tallulah, she was very quick and very polite. The chef came out to say hello which was really refreshing. And the food was just soooo good !

Very much living up to its many five star reviews! The food was fabulously tasty and beautifully presented. Tallulah has superb waiting skills, expertly attentive, welcoming and friendly. It’s a small country pub, lovingly restored. I see a recent review complained about The Duck being a very small pub, but I feel its size works to its advantage. Like many other locals, I am relieved that this small and incredibly old pub, set out in the peaceful Pett Bottom valley, has survived all these years when so many others have not! Congratulations to the current chef & owner for breathing new life into it and selecting such a good team to work there. Long may it flourish and prosper. We really liked The Kings Arms in Elham, but having visited The Duck we’d all now say that the food at The Duck is even tastier, which is a tall order! Be sure to book in advance.

Lovely country pub with very good food and drink. The hawksmore session and Guinness both fresh and cold. Roast dinner very good, creamiest best leeks I’ve ever had, nice cabbage, great veg, lovely starters and desserts. The table set up felt a bit odd to the side and acoustics not brilliant. But it’s lovely and remote and would definitely come back for the normal menu which also looks great.

I am delighted The Duck has reopened under new ownership. Firstly, the food is excellent and sensibly priced. Whilst the menu choice may look limited, do not be put off. This ensures that what you get served is excellent. This is a quality restaurant in a lovely setting. I wish the new owners every success.
