Guests rave about the friendly staff, particularly David, whose expertise enhances the dining atmosphere. While the house red wine could use improvement, the overall ambiance warms as the evening unfolds. With its blend of high-quality cuisine and welcoming service, the Ruddy Duck promises an unforgettable dining experience, earning its place as a must-visit local treasure.
It was a delight to see the Ruddy Duck restaurant reopening, even if only temporarily in the library which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The 5-course tasting menu we enjoyed was outstanding, with standout dishes including the beef cooked two ways served with a delicious potato gratin and a fantastic rhubarb and ginger dessert that showcased local ingredients. Even the kale came from the walled gardens at Wortley Hall! Our servers, David and Brogan, were friendly, knowledgeable, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I am still reminiscing about the homemade rhubarb cocktail that David crafted for me a week later. We are looking forward to dining here again soon.
We are thrilled that the Ruddy Duck has reopened and moved temporarily to the library. The service, food, and atmosphere were all fantastic, making it the perfect setting for a 2.5 to 3-hour dining experience. We are eagerly anticipating the Italian wine tasting and signature menu at the end of April.
We reserved the tasting menu at Ruddy Duck for a birthday celebration. Right from the beginning, we received a lovely, warm welcome. The staff at Wortley Hall and Ruddy Duck are consistently friendly. The presentation of the food was amazing, with perfectly balanced flavors. The portion sizes were just right, allowing us to truly enjoy each dish. The tables in the dining room were well spaced out, creating a comfortable environment for all guests. Despite the distancing, there was still a nice atmosphere. We can't wait to return once restrictions are lifted!
We had a wonderful tasting menu experience. The atmosphere food were both fabulous. A great evening full of delicious treats.
My wife and I had the signature menu. I can easily sum up our experience with great food. Great service. But most important of all, great value for money .
