Located by the picturesque Petersfield Lake, The Plump Duck offers a delightful escape for coffee enthusiasts and casual diners alike. Reviews from patrons highlight the café's friendly and helpful staff, who create a welcoming atmosphere. The establishment boasts a simple yet satisfying menu, featuring tasty paninis and indulgent cookies—perfect after a family stroll or a lakeside outing.

Many customers appreciate the well-planned design, which includes covered seating areas ideal for warmer days.

Reviews For The Plump Duck

Helpful friendly staff and super covid safe set up.. Tasty panni and yummy cookie most welcome, sadly dog was not so keen on his dog ice cream, maybe he prefers caramel.. (also its best not to give a dog really cold frozen items in really hot weather) More seating with tables would be welcome, some in the shade would be a great idea on hot sunny days You need to be prepared the run the gauntlet of a large flock of Egyptian Greece, it would appear they are encouraged to congregate in the area by a person spreading lots of fee for them. Not sure why as they are not a native to UK and not endangered?

This cafe is at Petersfield Lake and is an ideal place to stop after a walk. There is a variety of food and drinks, which are reasonably priced. There are limited tables inside and out.

Great coffee and a lovely place for a family walk to feed the ducks (bags of feed available at the cafe). Enjoyed the sweet treat too perfect to get my energy up after chasing the kids. Thank you

A lovely waterside snack bar selling a range of quick bites Coffee Tea, soft drinks and ice cream. A very well thought out design incorporates a covered queue area with coverd seating area and outdoor seating. Great following those slightly damp walks with the Family and dogs. Food is v good but basic snack menu. Sit down/take away. It's one of those places that draws you in even if you were not expecting to stop for a drink or snack. Separate public Toilets close by.

Great small cafe. You can watch the kids play while you get a coffee. Kids sandwiches are a good size and huge sausage rolls.

Lovely cafe and walk, nice park! Bring a bucket and spade for the sand. You can see the big fish on the bridge, and lots of different birds to feed/ watch

I come for the Dog Treats (the dogs love them and pull all the way from the carpark until we get here) and stay for the Coffee with Oat Milk and Vegan Cakes
