The Wild Duck reopened after a major restoration in 2026, bringing back a long-standing Ewen inn with a refreshed dining room and garden. It suits a breakfast stop, a relaxed lunch or a planned Sunday roast; the kitchen serves through the day Monday to Saturday and has separate Sunday roast and evening menus. Dogs on leads are welcome throughout.
The venue recommends booking because availability can be limited. Parking on site is limited and allocated first come, first served.
