We are crafting a modern style of country inn to retain the best traditional characteristics of a country pub, whilst giving you a fresh and comfortable environment where you can relax and unwind. We are locals and we are on a journey to carve out a beautiful space for you to spend your quality time and be well fed, well watered, and well rested. Our pub will be a reflection of all that is beautiful in Duddington and the surrounding area. We have renamed our rooms after local villages, we are curating historical artefacts and art for the walls and shelves, and over time we aspire to be a vibrant hub for the village and surrounds, as well as the perfect rest stop for travellers and gourmands of all stripes.

We are open all day starting at 8am for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. The Royal Oak at Duddington is the big sister to the delightful country pub and restaurant with rooms The Coach House Inn at South Luffenham. Run by the same owner, in Duddington we are able to offer spacious rooms furnished to a high standard. You can enjoy the same excellent levels of service which garners warmth and praise for every one of the team; we are ready to serve and committed to providing a warm welcome and exceptional stay. The restaurant is run by our Michelin trained Chef Tim Luff, previously sous to Sean Hope who won the Michelin Star at The Olive Branch in Clipsham. You can be assured of excellent, flavour-packed food, with a great range of dishes using local ingredients. On the bar we have high quality spirits and beers, a good cocktail menu, national favourite and local ales kept and served expertly, as well as great house wines and lovingly chosen table wines.

Duddington is a gem of a village replete with country homes and cottages of Collyweston slate rooves and stone, interspersing enchanting country lanes backed by mile after mile of glorious rich pasture and meadowland. The River Welland flows through here and forms the boundary between what the county of Rutland, and Northamptonshire. Here the river is spanned by an ancient, five arched, stone bridge and there are pleasant walks all along the banks.
