About The Duck, Newney Green

The Duck Inn was originally built in 1747 as a cottage and later in 1886 became a beer cellar belonging to George Roast, and served the local agricultural community. The Inn passed ownership to William Bowtell & stayed in the family for 3 generations before passing to a lady that even now the older residents of Newney Green & Writtle remember and talk about – Mrs Porter.

The pub is now in the ownership of Damon Godding, a local caterer who grew up in the village of Highwood. The aim of Damon is to restore the Inn to the traditional country pub is was renowned for in past days. Serving traditional local real ales and good honest home cooked food with great service is the key focus...whilst regenerating the building & grounds will be lovingly introduced over the next 24 months.

As we develop so will our menus, wine & beer. All the staff have been enjoying several field trips to local suppliers (and breweries) to a get a better understanding of the product we are selling to you and with time the products we like will become part of the pub.

So come and join our journey as we go from good to great and become part of The Duck Pub & Dining community.
