Fox Duck - Central Bedfordshire

Came here on Friday as the kids menu was very reasonable...... A main and 2 sides for £5.50.

Wow what amazing food we had ordered the steak of the menu and it was delicious the best steak I've probley had. It was cooked well and exactly how we liked it. I even got to meet the chef myself what a lovely polite man he was. Very polite members of staff and kept it flowing well considering they was short staffed. Will defo return again thank you.

There was a power cut at Baldock services so searched for the nearest place to eat. What a lovely pub, really welcoming, comfortable and excellent food. We will definitely visit again in a couple weeks. Thank you Gary and the team.

NEVER AGAIN!! I telephoned the previous day to confirm that they were serving lunches on Monday, and received an affirmative reply. When we arrived with our guests from New Zealand 6 people in total) we found the dining area in total dis-array following a wedding party over the weekend., and no tables either set or arranged for dining. Furniture was swiftly rearranged for us and our drinks order taken. We then waited and waited for the drinks to arrive. Eventually they were served and our food orders taken, and this followed by a delay so long we were contemplating leaving the venue. It transpires that the landlord had not arranged for any kitchen staff as he did not anticipate they would be needed, and he was running the pub bar and the kitchen by himself. He had to make a phone call to get someone in to cook our lunch, which was eventually served in such a delayed manner that the first two persons had finished their meal while others were still waiting. The jacket potatoes were undercooked. A similar waiting and staggered serving was repeated in serving the sweet course, which is puzzling as it was basically only ice cream. NOT A PLACE TO VISIT TWICE.

A desire for a Sunday Lunch, at short notice, prompted us to book a table for two at our local Pub. The Fox Duck had been highly recommended by a fellow Allotmenteer and I was really looking forward to discovering a local eatery. Suprised how empty the venue was, with few people at the bar or in the restaurant, I think the economy is hitting hard. We were walked through the pub, passed the pool table to a Marquee, in which we sat (heated) watching the gorgeous autumn colours on the trees within view. The food arrived in good time and was clearly home made and hearty, just what we needed. Delicious 'Lamb Shank ' falling off the bone with crispy roast potatoes and a mint gravy that was absolutely beautiful.. A really well put together dish, so good that I could forgive the over-cooked broccoli and cauliflower. Gary and his staff couldn 't be more caring about what they do. Thanks very much.
