Jane Hipkin5 StarFantastic Food! Absolutely delicious. Sadly hake risotto was off but duck salad out of this world. Lamb and duck beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Haloumi good, onion relish amazing. Great evening. Sorry it's not our local!Wednesday 17th August 2022
Neil Marsden Snr5 StarOur first visit and definitely not our last visit. A very warm welcome was encouraging and the service, and food lived up to the welcome. Excellent in every respect. We will be back very soon. Thank you. Neil and Julie.xThursday 30th June 2022
Serge Vlogs4 StarMeals are amazing but my mate had to go for a chip butty at the Chinese Barry’s place. Turns out Barry’s place isn’t even a Chinese.
We stayed for the quiz, as a quiz wizard myself I looked forward to it, I was disheartened when it was a quiz about the royals this wasn’t my strongest subject but the questions asked, the queen herself would struggle to answer. Anyway nice place would visit again (as long the quiz is not about the monarchy)Thursday 2nd June 2022
Sue S5 StarWhat a lovely welcome as we walked in. We were served immediately and the food was delivered promptly. We chose cauliflower cheese soup which was hot with fresh bread. Highly recommended!
Will definitely visit again. A big thank you to Noah who looked after us today.Thursday 26th May 2022

Well this time 7 of us cycled to the Ductchess for a meal and usually 3-4 pints of real ale, but they had two real ales on and for a free house they had green king doom bar and ghost ship (Adams) two of the biggest brewers around. Both were off.
So we decamped to The Three Tuns Fen Drayton, where one of the beers were off, but non of the beers were from the large breweries. the photo of the beer taps was from The Three Tuns
That was 3 years ago. 2019
Well what a change for the good. I used to come to what was called The George, but it now called The Dutchess. This pub has a huge garden with a new covered area, a large conservatory with plenty of dining space for large and small groups. They had four real ales on, one was near to the end and not at its best but the 3 were very good. They had a good menu and has a Senior citizens menu which we took advantage of. The portions were not fen sized which was refreshing. But the food was very well cooked and tasty. Would definitely come back here again.Wednesday 10th August 2022
