ABOUT US

Welcome to Runner Duck, a cosy little independent wine bar on King Street in the heart of Lancaster city.

We’re all about serving up good, affordable wine, moreish deli boards and good music.

Runner Duck was built on the philosophy that good wine should be for everyone, it doesn’t need to be pretentious or cost the earth. We’ve worked closely with our supplier to create a list of 40 wines that all bring something different to the table, complimented perfectly by our cheese and charcuterie boards.

Whether you know exactly what you like, you’re a complete novice and want our help, or you simply want to work your way through the entire menu (perhaps not in one sitting), everyone is welcome at Runner Duck.

We're just getting started

After six weeks of renovating, painting, sampling wine and cheese (it’s a hard life!), we opened our doors at the start of September 2022.

We’re still finding our feet, figuring out what works and what doesn’t, but we’ve got lots of things we want to do at Runner Duck.

Wine and cheese tasting evenings, wine flights, Vinyl DJs, seasonal deli boards, we’re working on it all. Watch this space and follow us on social media to be the first to know what we're up to.

Why RUNNER DUCK?

There are loads of animals that help out at wine vineyards all over the world, from bats to sheep and mules - even armadillos. Animals are often used as a sustainable, eco-friendly way to control weeds and pests.

Our favourite vineyard animal is the Indian runner duck. Vergenoed Estate in South Africa uses hundreds of runner ducks to keep their vines safe, eating aphids, snails and small worms whilst out on patrol. We thought that was pretty cool, so we named our bar after them.

Next time you're visiting, look out for our very own runner duck, Monty. He's usually behind the bar, although we don't let him serve anything because he doesn't have any hands.
