Welcome to The Dabbling Duck

Standing proudly in the middle of the village of Great Massingham, surrounded by fields but only a short drive from the stunning North Norfolk coast, The Dabbling Duck is the picture of the best of British country pubs.

Step inside the pub to a welcoming atmosphere, with a proper bar where locals gather to drink local ales, eat from our menus with dishes ranging from good casual pub classics to sophisticated seasonal dishes showcasing the very best of local produce.

Stay the night with a choice of accommodation ranging from comfy and cosy country charm pub rooms, larger garden rooms or the generously proportioned rooms with contemporary styling in our house adjacent to the pub. If you want to self cater, we have that too with our charming Duckling Cottage just a few doors down from the pub.

Run by husband and wife team Mark and Sally Dobby, both having a wealth of experience in the hospitality trade. Mark has made a name for himself along the coast, running several business before he came to the Dabbling Duck and is a true publican and Sally taking on all design aspects, particularly most recently refurbishing Barrack House and also having her own experience within the trade.

They also have a brilliant team and Dale Smith head chef  has been with them for over five years and fell in love with the pub and Great Massingham. Not forgetting the rest of the team who are all local most of whom are from the village itself.

Lastly not forgetting the main member of the team Doris Dobby the black Labrador, pub dog, who you may see roaming around….
