Change in the weather, change on the taps.

We’ve switched up our Duration rotation to match the current situation — something a little more suited to these cooler days.

A collab with Polly’s, pouring bright amber with pine and resin aromas, a citrus zing and warm biscuit notes. Dry, snappy and bitter on the finish.

Basically, the weather changed. So did the beer.

Well, this is a rather lovely boost for the Bank H Well, this is a rather lovely boost for the Bank Holiday weekend! 🍾

We’re absolutely thrilled to find out that The Dabbling Duck is a finalist in TWO categories at the Norfolk & Suffolk Food & Drink Awards 2026:

PUB/BAR OF THE YEAR
RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR

Hospitality is a tough industry to be in at the moment, so awards like these really matter. For us, it’s not just about winning — it’s about championing the sector, celebrating the brilliant people who work in it and recognising the pubs and restaurants that keep showing up every day.

The finals aren’t for another couple of weeks and we’re in some seriously good company, so just to be nominated in both categories feels pretty special.

A huge thank you to our brilliant team, and to everyone who continues to eat, drink, stay and support us.

Now, fingers crossed! 🤞🍻

DID YOU KNOW? All our beef comes from Raynham Es DID YOU KNOW? 

All our beef comes from Raynham Estate, just a few miles up the road from The Dabbling Duck.

We buy the whole beast — Aberdeen Angus cattle — which Head Chef Dale then butchers here on site. It means we can make use of the different cuts across our menus, use as much of the animal as possible and keep waste to a minimum.

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a close relationship with Raynham. Knowing exactly where our beef comes from matters to us — and being so close means we can see first-hand the care, welfare and upbringing of the cattle.

Properly local. Properly looked after. And butchered right here at The Dabbling Duck.
