Not a massive choice, but very good food. Service was fine, polite and timely. Pleasantly busy early on a Saturday evening, not crowded.
Vegetarian options: One vegan main (curry), a couple of dessert options.
Parking: Spaces can be tight with SUVs.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entry, negligible lip at doorway, flat floor inside into bar and dining area. Spacious enough to park at some tables, though probably best to give notice.

The actual place and staff are really nice but the food did disappoint a bit.
I ordered the duck breast main and at £20 I was expecting something pretty sizeable. It was extremely small unfortunately and goes to show why steaks have to show a weight. I'm not sure if they had cut a breast down or managed to source some really small ones but it was much smaller than even a chicken breast even though a duck breast is even larger. I don't mind paying inflated prices but when they are decreasing sizes of things as well it's a bit much. It was also a bit overcooked but I appreciate not everyone wants it pink.
My son had the 'basket of chicken' which was actually just two pieces not much bigger than a large nugget and not indeed a basket.
I wouldn't go back based on this, I find it really quite annoying when places start putting prices up and decreasing portions. Their should have been twice as much chicken at least on the kids meal, which we have had many other places, quite shameful.

first time we have been here, and definitely won't be the last ! the lady who's served us Amy was absolutely fantastic with our children and got them involved with helping her. Nothing was too much and food came out very quickly !

Our first visit since the takeover by J W Lees - a big improvement over previous owners - good food, good service and a friendly atmosphere - just the job for a Sunday lunch ?

Visited at lunchtime food was lovely and one member of staff was brilliant.
However no greeting on entry no offer of a menu no friendly atmosphere at all. One waiter was literally serving everyone's food 2 other members of staff stood chatting. It wasn't busy but we waited 10 minutes for a coffee. Very badly managed.

First visit to the Duckworth Arms, which didn't disappoint.
Staff were friendly and accommodating, the pub clean and well presented.
More so was the food, not many places cook burgers "properly" but my tower burger was nailed. Lovely caramelisation on the outside and succulent meat juices oozing from the centre, great quality meat also.
The cheese pie was equally as good, plus great portion size and value.
Definitely recommend

Food is fantastic, amazing amount of steak in the pies!
Very pleased with the food and price, however staff were very, very slow - had to chase to get our bill at one point. We experienced very slow service inbetween the lunch and dinner lull too, so not a lot of excuse for it.
With a bit more training, this could be great.

Came here on a Saturday, so expected it to be busier than a normal day, but was very disappointed with the level and speed of service, especially front of house.
Instead of ordering deserts after already being here for 90 mins (just 5 mains, no starters), we simply gave in and asked for the bill. This also took another 20 mins to arrive.
On the other hand, the food was tasty and of the quality we expected to pay, however, it could?ve been slightly warmer (this again may have been due to the speed and attentiveness of the service).
It was a good experience overall in a nice surrounding despite the issues with our service. We will be happy to visit again in the near future to see if this was just a one-off!

The food was very good and fairly priced , however service was poor. We were a party of 16 inc children and were booked in for 7pm. Our orders weren't taken for a while eventually at about 8 pm we had to go and ask where our starters were all the children in our party were very hungry, we had to get them some crisps. The main course seemed to take a while to arrive as well. The drinks glasses on the table weren't taken away when empty. However when the food did eventually arrive it was very good and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Would i go again? Not sure , possibility would.
Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming for children
Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space for wheelchairs

Very disappointing lunch. The falafel were over cooked and the main of 2 tiny fishcakes was poor for the price and again over cooked. My friend had the pate starter and it was unpalatable and left it. Would not recommend.
