“The Drunken Duck Inn strikes me as a place where inventive cooking and local charm meet in the Lake District. I imagine the extensive drinks menu, featuring real ales brewed on-site, goes down well after a day exploring the views overlooking Ambleside. While some may find it a bit of a splurge for pub fare, the quality and the setting seem to justify the experience.”
