Lovely place, booked for lunch, staff are so friendly & welcoming. They put water on the table when you sat down (they ask as they seat you) the steak I had was one of the best I've had in years and my Mums fish & chips had the most light & fluffy batter . The food was good value for money and excellent but the drinks were expensive.

Visited here for afternoon tea on a Saturday afternoon and from start to finish couldn’t fault it.We were greeted by a welcoming friendly lady who seated us at a table with views of the river and straight away asked what we would like to drink.The afternoon tea itself was fabulous very fresh sandwiches and savoury items and the scones and cakes were plentiful asked to box some of them up to take home as we couldn’t eat them all. Have to say the staff were very attentive asking us if everything was ok and when we paid the bill said thankyou ladies for your custom. I thought at £25 with a glass of Prosecco,water and a cup of tea was a good price aswell compared to other venues,would recommend without hesitation and will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

We had our wedding here last Friday and it was just perfect. We had several meetings with Jane about what we wanted and all of the staff helped bring that to life. I could not recommend it any more, the food was incredible, nothing was too much of an ask and they couldnt do anymore for us. We had so many compliments regarding the food and venue. Everyone involved at the Fardon Ferry helped make our day perfect, we can't thank you all enough!!

We visited last night to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We weren’t disappointed! We were warmly greeted and taken to a choice of tables overlooking the river Trent. They offered us the usual menu, a tapas menu and a set menu. Everything looked so tantalising, it was difficult to choose. My partner chose an 8oz flat ironed steak with chunky chips, mushroom and tomato. I had the Barnsley Lamb Chop with garlic mash, baby carrot and green vegetables. Both were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We finished with sticky toffee pudding and lemon meringue. We were given some complimentary Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. It was a perfect evening. Our maitre’d was Jo. She welcomed us and was attentive, courteous and friendly. We’ll definitely return.

Lovely venue and great & friendly service. It was a Sunday and no steak on the menu ( Sunday lunch menu of course ) and I was craving a T-bone steak 🥩 onion rings and Stilton sauce - no worries though, the waiter offered to buy the chef a beer and in no time at all I was tucking into a medium rare T-bone steak- delicious 😋 … Fantastic service and made my day ! Anna had fish and chips which were also super tasty. Thanks Farndon Ferry team 🥳 we will return soon with the rest of the family now we’ve found you

On the day that we went poor planning let the place down. The staff were very understanding and trying their best and explained the situation and were lovely throughout, the food was good as well. However, poor planning from management meant that the place was understaffed and overfilled leading to very long wait times.

Went here for breakfast. 8 people and only 7 meals came out. Wondering where mine was and thought everybody is near on finished I asked and was told they forgot and it will be taken off the bill.when it came out the bacon was crispy the beans was cold the fried bread was dry and when I cut it it just smashed into bits.the toast was a normal thin slice from the bread bin where as everyone's was nice thick and fresh.it was burnt on 1 side and white on the other but the egg was lovely.i think they just forgot it was still in the kitchen. My wife told me not to complane as we was not getting charged for mine. Came to pay the bill of £75 pound and the waitress told us about a 10% service charge is normal. Obviously I didn't pay this but the transport got that when we left. Thanks

We had an amazing experience dinning here! There was a mistake with our table and we waited very long time for our food to arrive, however the manager came to our table to apologise for the inconvenience of being waiting a lot longer than all other costumers. She offered us 50% off of the total of our bill, this is what I think that is a 5 starts service, compensating the costumers appropriately for a mistake made by the restaurant. The food was delicious, from starters to mains, to desserts and also the drinks. Specially the vegetarian roast it was incredible. We were 8 people and everyone loved their food. All the staff is very friendly and polite. We had a great time, our table it was located by the window with a view of the river. We live in London but as soon as we have a change we certainly will be returning, we left with the feeling that we would love to try everything from the menu.

The food was fantastic, and the staff were very polite & helpful, when we could get hold of them. In a case of bad timing, we'd booked a table for 2 to have a quiet meal, but on the night of their Winter Ball, so the rest of the entire room we were in was one large, noisy group. This (& the DJ) meant it was hard to be heard, and although all of the staff were doing their best, it was hard for us to get their attention. I would go again, but I'd perhaps ring in advance to make sure it wasn't a big party night.

Table booked for 6.30 (included 5 children). Terrible service! After initial drink, no one came to see our if anyone wanted anymore drinks. No one asked if food was ok. Food was delayed. Main course came out in dribs and drabs. Some people had finished eating just as other people’s food arrived. The 3 courses took 3 hours!!! A few of our party had to leave before dessert as the kids were tired as it was so late. Food generally ok. Pudding - chocolate fondant was dry. When we got the bill and complained about all the issues, the manager literally said nothing and then walked off! No apology, no discount, no words!

Being perfectly honest we have avoided going here for quite a while after a couple of disappointing visits but we're so happy to see they've really turned it around. We dined as a family of 4 and we all couldn't fault our starters or mains. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient. It's always been a beautiful restaurant but now happily the food and service match the surroundings. Homemade food and beautifully presented. We live in Farndon so we're so happy and will be dining there a lot more frequently. Thank you Farndon Ferry.

We were looking for sunday lunch whilst staying at local lodges and thought this place looked cute. Booking was easy enough. We were seated in an Alice in wonderland themed room which didn't look good. We all had a Sunday lunch, chicken, which was delicious. Dessert equally tasty. But so slow! The young staff were friendly, but too busy.

Called in for food for me and my work colleagues this morning, ordered three large sandwiches, on mine I asked for a menu extra which was black pudding. I got back to work and sat to eat my sandwich and found that the (approx.) 9" long bloomer had only two slices of bacon, two sausages and one piece of black pudding. Don't get me wrong, the food was hot, freshly cooked, and nice, but the issue was that there was too much bread and not enough filling. Come on guys, if you're charging for extras, then at least put more than one in. The single slice of black pudding was lost in the size of the sandwich. Just feel let down by what could easily be much better.
