We came here for dinner during Norfolk restaurant week. The meal was bad. The first course was barely edible as it had been sat on the side and the desserts were poor. My main meal was okay - the best course of the meal. Not only was our meal pretty bad, they don’t answer the phone and still haven’t sent my scarf which they promised to do.

What a brilliant place. Recently been taken over we were sceptical, however it was better than before. Sunday lunch roast beef was generous but the choice of vegetables was amazing for a vegetable lover, so much choice and flavour. My lemon pan a cotta was absolutely delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly. Definitely be back, loved it. Well done chef and new owners 👍

We didn’t stay at the Duck Inn, but celebrated our Wedding Anniversary there. The whole experience was wonderful. Everyone in our party of four thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Truly delicious food. I highly recommend the restaurant and I’m sure the same standard would apply to the accommodation.

Under new management, so deleted review from 1 Yr ago to post this. Starter of pigeon breast nice, limited main course selection so we had liver which was overcooked (staff informed but seemed nonplussed). Puddings especially the banana STP nice too. We'll be back to try the Sunday lunch! (£55 per head incl 3 glasses of wine)

We’re not local, but understand the Duck Inn is under new ownership. We had a beautiful Sunday lunch here today. The setting, service, drinks and food were absolutely fantastic and it was lovely to see the restaurant busy. All the staff were friendly and worked hard. In addition to the roast dinner, we had desserts of sticky toffee pudding and the best caramel panacotta with salted caramel ice cream and parkin. It didn’t last long enough for the photo… The Duck Inn is very highly recommended
