Property details
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Walkington, just three miles from the historic market town of Beverley, The Dog & Duck is a well-established, character-rich public house with deep community roots. This charming three-storey property, constructed from traditional brick with an apex slate roof, combines period features with extensive modern trading facilities and heritage appeal. Walkington is a quintessential English village with quaint cottages, historic landmarks, and peaceful walking trails, attracting a steady mix of loyal locals and visitors. Conveniently situated just off the B1230, Walkington offers easy road access to Beverley and surrounding areas. The nearest railway station is in Beverley, providing direct connections to Hull, York, and beyond. The area is also served by a regular local bus service, further enhancing its accessibility.
The pub boasts a centrally located bar that serves both the lounge and main bar areas. Adjacent to the bar is a separate coffee station, presenting an excellent opportunity to diversify the beverage offering and attract a broader clientele. Supporting the strong food-led trade is a fully equipped commercial catering kitchen, purpose-built to handle high-volume service with ease. Conveniently located behind the scenes, a ground-floor beer cellar, while a separate wine cellar provides ample storage for an expanded premium beverage selection. A standout feature of the property is the function room, which comfortably accommodates up to 50 guests. This space is ideal for private events, parties, and business meetings, offering an additional revenue stream and reinforcing the pub’s position as a vibrant social hub.
Outside, a spacious beer garden provides the perfect setting for outdoor events. The garden is equipped with a stone-built BBQ and a partially covered terraced seating area, making it a flexible, inviting space that appeals to customers throughout the year. The pub also benefits from a private car park with capacity for approximately 20 vehicles.
The private accommodation, accessed through the pub, offers a generous living space spread across two floors. On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom alongside a living room, a kitchen/dining area with an adjoining utility room, a separate bathroom, a dressing room, and an office. The second floor features two additional bedrooms.

Trading style
Currently trading with a strong emphasis on food, which accounts for approximately 70% of turnover, the pub also boasts a solid premium drinks offer, enhancing its appeal and profitability. With high gross profit margins in the upper 60% range, the business demonstrates excellent financial performance. The function room, capable of hosting up to 50 guests, adds an additional revenue stream through private events, parties, and community gatherings. Supported by excellent facilities and a robust trading operation, the venue benefits from multiple income streams, including food, premium drinks, functions, and outdoor events.
The Dog & Duck already enjoys a strong reputation for its food-led trade and benefits from a loyal local customer base. However, with the right licensee, there is a clear and exciting opportunity to drive sales through a refreshed, community-focused approach. There is scope to enhance the pub’s appeal through a thoughtful evolution of its existing offer. Introducing a rotating selection of cask ales and premium draught beers would help attract a broader customer base, while reinforcing The Dog & Duck’s reputation as a quality local. The food offer can also be elevated with a menu that showcases seasonal ingredients, locally sourced produce, and refined takes on pub classics. To further boost weekday trade and encourage regular visits, the introduction of midweek meal deals, daily specials boards, and themed food nights will deliver value and variety for guests. Beyond the food and drink offering, the pub’s dedicated function space with capacity for up to 50 guests presents an excellent opportunity to drive additional revenue. Actively promoting this space for private bookings such as birthdays, anniversaries, local group meetings, and business events will also strengthen community ties. Regular quiz nights, local interest groups (such as book clubs, walking groups, and craft nights), and welcoming events for new residents can all help increase footfall. With the right vision and licensee, The Dog & Duck can grow into both a sought-after destination for quality food and drink and a vibrant community hub.
