The Duncombe Arms
Described by Tom Parker Bowles as ‘the local we all wish we had’, the Duncombe Arms offers outstanding food, rustic-chic rooms and a stellar wine list in the quaint Staffordshire village of Ellastone.
Like his son Jack, The Surprise’s landlord, Johnny Greenall has a generations-old hospitality pedigree as part of the Greenall-Whitley brewing dynasty, and he and his wife Laura have poured all their passion for top-notch produce, beautiful interiors and a classic country pub welcome into this award-winning dining destination.
