The Duck Inn Blog

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. 

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. 

This month we say goodbye to our waitress Carly. After a year with us she will be moving on to a new horizons. It has been great to have a little bit of Watford in our North Norfolk pub and you will be missed by staff and customers alike.
