Sometimes the best places are the ones nobody’s Sometimes the best places are the ones nobody’s talking about…

Just a few minutes from The Dabbling Duck, the Nar Valley Way is one of Norfolk’s best-kept secrets. Follow the crystal-clear River Nar through ancient woodland, wildflower meadows and peaceful countryside, with hardly another person in sight – even in the height of summer. Perfect for four-legged explorers, morning wanders or escaping the heat beneath the trees.

Whether you’re staying with us or just popping by for lunch, this is the kind of walk that reminds you to slow down and breathe. 🐾🌿

Usually we’re the ones behind the camera… but Usually we’re the ones behind the camera… but every now and then we make an appearance. 👋

The Dabbling Duck has never just been about Mark and I.

It’s about an incredible team, many of whom have been with us for years. The long hours, the weekends, the graft behind the scenes—it’s all down to them.

We’re so proud of what we’ve built together, and so grateful to everyone who supports our little village pub.

We had a brilliant morning visiting the RNLI to ha We had a brilliant morning visiting the RNLI to hand over a cheque for an incredible £6,805.50 – all raised for our chosen charity over the past two years.

A huge thank you to everyone who chose to opt in to the £1 added to their bill. Every pound makes a real difference: 50p supports charities and organisations in Great Massingham, helping the backbone of our village, while the other 50p has gone to our chosen charity, @wellsrnli.

We’re incredibly proud to have supported such an amazing charity. Their work saves lives, they’re deeply rooted in our local community, and we can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

It’s not goodbye for long though… we’ll be raising money for the RNLI again at our Seafood Festival this November, and we can’t wait to support them once more.

We were going to take a lovely photo of Daisy Chain… but we accidentally drank it first. 😬

You’ll just have to trust us on this one.

A super drinkable 4.2% Session IPA with juicy grapefruit notes and a crisp citrus finish. Basically, sunshine in a pint.

If you’re quick, there might still be some left… unlike the one we were meant to photograph.

Every year, Houghton Hall hosts a major sculpture exhibition, and this year’s spectacular display by Lynn Chadwick is not to be missed.

Wander through the stunning gardens and beautiful parkland as Chadwick’s iconic sculptures are set against one of Norfolk’s finest country houses.

The exhibition is only here until October, so don’t miss your chance to see it.

The perfect Norfolk day out… then back to us for a long lunch, a glass of wine, or dinner. Sounds like a pretty good plan to us.

Meet Daphne. 🐾 Part of the DD team, chief masc Meet Daphne. 🐾

Part of the DD team, chief mascot, and unofficial emotional support dog.

She takes her role very seriously, making regular rounds of the pub, greeting guests, accepting fuss on demand, and generally keeping a close eye on proceedings.

The good news? She’s not the only dog welcome here. We’re proudly dog friendly throughout the pub, and many of our rooms are dog friendly too, so your four-legged best friend can enjoy a Norfolk getaway right alongside you.

Just don’t be surprised if Daphne thinks she’s the one in charge.

Fresh Norfolk samphire, hand-picked from the marsh Fresh Norfolk samphire, hand-picked from the marshes. Not only does it taste fab, but every bunch helps fund a shiny new bike for the picker! 😊 A true local ingredient.  Something to think on when you’re eating your samphire at the pub. 

Grab yourself a bag if your going past !

Mark and I have a special affection for Campuget. Not only do they produce some of our favourite wines, but over the years we’ve built a genuine friendship with the family behind it. We have built many memories, lots of love and laughter. 

We love pouring their wines at The Dabbling Duck, and we’re incredibly proud to see Great Massingham listed alongside places from around the world on their latest T-shirt.

Our wonderful French friends — we’re raising a glass to you. 🇫🇷❤️🍷
