🎈🦆🌻☀️🌸🧡 🌸💗❤️🧡🌸🌻
3 years ago we opened our doors for the first time 🧡🧡🧡
As with all new businesses we were nervous to see how it would go.
We hadn’t been looking for another cafe , but my dear friend Jacqui steered us in the direction of taking it over as it was left empty and her & her lovely partner Mark wanted us to give it a new lease of life. So thank you so so much both of you 🧡🧡🧡
We are so glad we did 💗💗
We literally love the Duck & Willow so much. It really is my baby 🐣🦆
The lovely surroundings, the amazing support of all our regulars , seeing new faces come in and then seeing them return again & again.
The lovely comments we get about our food and how friendly and attentive our team are 🥰
We absolutely love it 🧡
We celebrate all the good times and thank you for all your support in our bad times - our 2 floods and our break in. You really were all amazing then💙
A massive thank you to our team , for all your hard work , standing in when needed and for putting up with Wayne’s bad jokes 🤪
We could not do it without you. ❤️
To Occasions Mobile Catering for your yummy scones - I know you don’t appreciate all the flavour choices 😂( that reminds me I need to order more. 🙈😂)
A big thank you to all our other suppliers including
Syston Bakery who provide our crusty cobs , tiger bread cobs & tiger-bread baguettes.
Plus sausage rolls & cheese and onion rolls
Dave our butcher - providing sausages , bacon , black pudding , baps , chicken , & burgers.

Also to other local business’s who do encourage and support us , even with a like or a little comment , we see you and we appreciate you- as we know not all businesses do support other’s.
To our good friends & neighbours at Syston Brookside - WMC Club

All you guys are just the best.
💗💗A special mention for some of our lovely friends/ customers who are no longer with us.
We have lost some fab people and it still makes me sad to remember them and wish they were all still here.
We thank you all too for your friendship, the laughs and for being there with us. You are truly missed💙
To all our customers , thank you so much for supporting us and making the Duck & Willow such a lovely place to be. We truly appreciate you.
