🌿 July Finds in Our Kitchen Garden 🌿

It’s one of our favourite months in the garden, and it’s bursting with fresh produce. From crisp cucumbers and vibrant yellow courgettes to fresh beetroot and plenty more, summer is in full swing.

If you’re visiting us, take a wander through the kitchen garden before or after your meal. We love sharing what we’re growing, and it’s a lovely way to see where some of the ingredients on your plate begin their journey.

Pop in, explore the garden, and enjoy a bite to eat or drink while you’re here.

We’re open Wednesday to Sunday and no reservation is required. Whether you fancy our garden menu, a set-price menu, happy hour drinks, or cocktails, there’s plenty to discover.

Come and enjoy a little taste of summer at The Duck on the Pond.

Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, grandads, step dads, father like figures. Thinking of people who have lost their dads, missing their dads and who don’t have that father role in their life today.

A special Happy Father’s Day to thank you for being the best daddy to our two boys. For being there for them whilst we juggle life in a pub restaurant and for all that brings to their world. Thank you for the school and nursery runs, the play time, making pancakes, and sword fights in the garden!

We love you more than you love Lego!

From TOMORROW Wednesday 17th June we will open the farm track which is accessible from the new persimmon homes roundabout on the A361 after Wykham lane - 3rd exit (from Bloxham) or straight over/2nd exit ( from Banbury ) through the building site (not the housing estate) which will take you to our Farm track 😃

Please don’t let the signs put you off – there is still access to us and we’d love to see you! 🌿🥕🍓
