The Duck at Yeoford

Country pub on the Tarka Line

The Village, Yeoford, Crediton, Devon, EX17 5JD

Chef(s) James Parkinson

Just a two-minute walk from Yeoford Station, The Duck is the sort of country pub you’d happily travel for. Chef-owner James Parkinson, a former executive chef of the renowned Von Essen Hotels, brings impressive pedigree to a menu that celebrates the best of Devon’s larder.

Local produce takes centre stage at the 19th-century free house. Rainbow trout caught in a nearby lake is smoked in-house and features in dishes such as trout gravadlax and trout tartare. Creedy Carver duck breast with confit duck and potato croquettes utilises carefully sourced regional ingredients, while dessert pays tribute to James’s time at Sharrow Bay. Inventive takes on its famous sticky toffee pudding include a coffee and walnut version and a sticky figgy pudding.
