The Ducks Restaurant Aberlady

Ducks at Aberlady

Welcome to Ducks at Aberlady!

 

Formerly in Edinburgh, Ducks Restaurant has relocated to the peaceful village of Aberlady in East Lothian, 25 mins down the coast from Edinburgh.  It remains much the same but operates together with Kilspindie House (26 rooms) and Donalds an excellent Bar/Bistro all under the ownership of Malcolm Duck. 

Ducks wine list has moved with it, the dining room remains set with white linen and candles but now has a cocktail bar and a lovely outside court yard.  The menu is a fixed price of £28 using much of the local East Lothian produce. 

Donalds serves bar/bistro style food along with real ale, 50 to 60 malts and Ducks wine list.  The chowder is a big favourite together with mussels, beef, fish and chips etc.; ideal for a relaxed meal or a pint and a sandwich after a walk on the beach.

Kilspindie House, the original name of the property, has 26 bedrooms all ensuite, free wifi and flat screen TVs.  It is a fantastic area for bird watching in the winter and golf in the summer.  Longniddry station is only 18 mins by train from the centre of Edinburgh with a free bus pick up so easy for those working in Edinburgh.

WINTER OFFER – Room £20pp sharing when dining in Ducks. Call or e-mail quote web home page.

Hogmanay

Seventy saw in 2010 with dinner and dancing to Obsession at Ducks in Aberlady.  We sold out for our two night Hogmanay package (£150pp) but many came for the dinner and dancing at an amazing price of £60 per head.  

Obsession also played in the afternoon of the 1st.  Thanks to all of you who came and created a fantastic atmosphere over the two days.  A very big thak you from me to both Ros Sloan and Johhny Dunbar who ran the front of house and kitchen magnificently.

We will be doing the same again next year and will be taking bookings as of January the 11th.   Obsession's web site.
