The Dog & Duck
About
The Dog & Duck is a friendly family‑orientated pub‑restaurant nestled in the heart of Kings Clipstone, just a short walk from attractions such as Sherwood Forest and Center Parcs. Offering a relaxed atmosphere with indoor and weather‑dependent outdoor seating, it welcomes guests who love good food, live music and a touch of countryside charm. Dogs are allowed in the hard‑floor bar area and on the outside, making it one of the few canine‑friendly establishments in the region. The menu is a blend of classic British favourites with vegetarian options, gluten‑free dishes and a range of brew‑and‑bark‑in‑style drinks. With an easy‑going vibe, free Wi‑Fi and ample parking, The Dog & Duck is a convenient stop for locals and visitors alike. For those planning a visit, the kitchen opens from 12:00 pm until 10:00 pm Monday‑Thursday, 12:00 pm‑11:00 pm Saturday, and 12:00 pm‑10:00 pm Sunday. The venue hosts live music evenings and community events, adding an extra layer of entertainment to your dining experience. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak times. The website offers an online booking system for parties up to eight people; larger parties should call the restaurant (01623 354400) to confirm availability and may be required to provide a deposit. A £10.00 no‑show fee is applied per person and cancellation policies are clearly outlined on the booking page.
