Nestled in the picturesque village of Great Massingham, The Dabbling Duck offers a delightful mix of exceptional food and charming atmosphere. Many guests rave about the delicious cuisine, including standout dishes like smoked haddock and mussel bisque, as well as generous portion sizes. The welcoming staff, particularly noted for their friendliness and attentiveness, add to the experience. However, some patrons voiced concerns over loud music and disruptive noise from nearby guests, affecting the overall ambiance. Despite mixed feelings regarding the pet-friendly policy and occasional service delays, The Dabbling Duck remains a popular destination for those seeking a memorable dining escapade.
