A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A country-pub lunch by the railway
A village freehouse with handsome interiors, seasonal food and a covered garden spot, just a short walk from Yeoford station.
The train is part of the appeal at The Duck: Yeoford station sits a short walk from this village freehouse, making a country-pub meal possible without building the day around driving. Inside, dark joinery and warm dining rooms set the scene; outside, the covered Duck Shed adds a relaxed garden option. James and Sarah’s kitchen draws on local produce, with changing menus and a particular affection for duck. It is a good one to keep for a planned lunch with friends. The pub has announced a short late-October closure, so check its reopening details before choosing a date.
