We very much look forward to welcoming you back as soon as possible.

"Absence only makes the heart grow fonder!"
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the temporary closure of the Pub from 10pm on Wednesday the 4th November.
It has been a great few months and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
During this period of closure, the very talented brigade in the kitchen will be turning their hands to takeaway in the form of a scrummy Supper Club Menu!
To begin with, we will be running this from Thursday 5th of November. You will need to order the day before and your meals will be ready to collect, hot & ready to enjoy the following evening.
Please call 01335 324 275 to place your order with us.

Following the recent government announcement regarding the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, we are pleased to be reopening The Duncombe Arms from Saturday 4th of July.
We will be open from 12pm, serving food all day on Saturdays.
To begin with, we have limited availability so booking is essential, please do not come to the pub without a reservation.
We will be offering table service for drinks in the garden. There will be limited bar service to comply with the guidance and table service is in operation throughout the pub.
We are operating a one way system in parts of the building to help customers maintain social distancing. Please assist the staff by using this where possible.
Hand sanitiser is available throughout the pub. All of our tables (including items on the table), chairs & surfaces are sanitised prior to each tables' arrival.
We truly want you to return & enjoy the Duncombe Arms again, and your understanding of the new normal is hugely appreciated.
The health & safety of our customers and staff is our top priority, and we have worked extensively with our health & safety consultants at CS-Compliance to develop a policy to ensure that the Duncombe Arms is a safe place to work and visit.
‘The local we all wish we had.’
