Welcome to the Duck on the Pond. Here, we strive to be as sustainable as possible in all that we do. From the food we grow in our Kitchen Garden, to the choice of local farmers, rearers and artisan producers we work with. We want to reduce food miles and focus on life balance. We believe it is our responsibility to respect our environment and represent the rich food heritage and culture of the area that we live in. Offering a product that is hyper seasonal, using as much of the produce as we can the day it is harvested and through using traditional methods to preserve the rest. We believe the future lies in the past, in the knowledge and understanding of how to work with nature. We are constantly evolving and learning to work at one with nature whilst bringing you delicious food, alongside a welcoming atmosphere.

What's Growing On

We harvested a nice bounty in the Duck on the Pond Garden in 2024. It wasn't an easy year for growing with lots of rain and not that much heat in the summer! We also welcomed baby number two at the end of 2023. However with team work we managed to plant salads, sweetcorn, courgettes, celery and celeriac. A lot we've already taken and used in the dishes served to our guests over the summer! We also had a lot of failures, slugs took most of our cabbages and cauliflowers before they had chance to grow and the birds took the rest. We had a vision of producing all of our own Brussels for your festive dinners but the rabbits got those. We have plans now for  planting to get started as soon as we can and are really looking forward to what we can produce in 2025 whilst also looking at the biodiversity of the garden. We are really open to learning new methods and making the most of the space we have here at The Duck on The Pond!
