Ashburton eats: Phat Duck
The next time you’re in Ashburton, add this brew bar and kitchen to your itinerary.
The Phat Duck has a reputation as the town’s ‘most happening venue’, thanks to its mouth-watering menu, cold drinks, occasional live music, large screen viewing to catch the game, and both indoor and outdoor seating. The food range is as varied as the gathering spaces and owner Simran Singh is very proud of the meals. “We have so much to offer, from buttermilk crispy chicken or Thai mussels to roast duck or fish and chips. Then there are our superb steaks. The Tomahawk steaks are a particular favourite.”
This is where customers become friends, Simran says. Everyone is invited to relax and feel at home, it doesn’t matter if you’re visiting for a weekend feast or quiet catch-up (the bean bag area within the bar might take your fancy).
Open from 10am to 9pm at 360 West Street and with catering available for private functions or special events, The Phat Duck is just as wonderfully warm whether you’re part of the community or from out of town.
