The Spotted Duck

We found this place courtesy of a voucher for a cream tea. Great first impression after a phone call to check they would be flexible in respect of how we used the voucher. The place is set in a lovely, quiet place the lodges look great. Rather than a cream tea we settled for quiche salad washed down with fizz and a lump of cake with coffee and were more than happy to pay the difference. For the quality of what we had cakes and pastries baked on site…and you can tell the welcome and service in a lovely setting this place really is top notch. A proper salad rather than a few bits of limp lettuce and a slice of tomato. The cakes really are divine We loved it and will definitely go back.

Over priced. Friendly enough service but not outstanding. Expected more after reading other reviews. Also, I’m sure I was wrongly charged, menu online says £21 pp, we were charged £46. Little pastry bites were stale, 1 small bucket of crisps for 2 people? Really disappointed, had better for half the price and we had drove out for this.

My mum and myself were given a voucher for Christmas for afternoon tea. We picked The Spotted Duck as it had very good reviews, we were not disappointed. The table was ready with china plates and our tea was served with no waiting. We were served nice large finger sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, cheesy stars, cakes and clotted cream scones. It was all very filling and we took a box home each of things we couldn’t eat. Will definitely come again to try something off the menu

Had afternoon tea here and wow I’m sorry I didn’t take a photo it was delicious and so much food, everything tasty fresh and home made it was presented beautifully on a gorgeous stand and staff were very attentive. A real hidden gem would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at The Spotted Duck. Such a delightful place, food excellent and staff lovely. Definitely recommend a visit.
