Ferry Hotel in Barrow-in-Furness

This was an amazing experience the food was unbelievable the staff were excellent especially lizzie, dean and Laura I felt so welcome highly recommend

I have always felt welcome and comfortable here.I always come alone and have one or two drinks.I like the location and find the staff all very friendly .

Here on holiday. Thought this pub looked good with lots of choice. Our teenage boys were keen to have the stone bake pizza. Arrived at 7.05 for a 7.20 table and was allowed to sit and order immediately. My husband and I chose the carvery, but as we wanted to all eat together, we waited until our boys pizzas arrived. They eventually arrived at 8.10, despite being told half an hour earlier that they'd be 10 mjnutes. We watched lots of pizzas be collected by uber eats and we were left waiting with no explanation or apologies. When we went to collect our carvery, things were being put away. We were told the kitchen shuts at 8pm. We were never told this earlier. What was left was minimal, dry and cold. The veg was over cooked and mushy. When we went to pay af the end, we told them how disappointed we were and he apologised, but I don't think he really cared. They clearly make their money from take aways and football fans in the bar and we were clearly not a priority. Don't bother eating here. Order via uber instead.

It's a really good place for a quiet lunch with friends and family, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is cooked perfectly. We'll be going back soon.

Had a really nice roast dinner! Obviously a large. Great selection of meat which all taste great. The roast potatoes are top notch. I wish I could actually eat all the mountain of food I want to get but unfortunately my stomach just aint big enough which is gutting because it's really nice. The staff are friendly, welcoming and great to talk to. Really good price and the fact there is a pizza oven is great. The atmosphere is light and friendly. Matty is a pure legend. Had a really good crack with him when I was there!

We come here quite often and always have a lovely meal. The staff are friendly and pleasant and we always recommend here to family and friends.

Decent ale and the best pizza I’ve had for a long time and great value for £8.99 each on a Thursday. Will deffo be going back.

The staff were lovely and friendly and helped wherever we needed it and the food was nice and to a good quality, will be returning

Lovely friendly service from all staff and delicious meals. My husband highly recommends the Calzone Carvery. All meals were good value for money.

Lovely Sunday carvery friendly and attentive staff good value for money. What's not to like? Quick service but not losing quality of the food . Will definitely be back. Didn't get his name but the young man waiting tables was so lovely kept checking in and greeted us with a smile.

We had a good evening here, the staff are excellent and to be credited, the app based ordering is rubbish and to be avoided, go to the bar. The pizza and carvery are great, the other food is a bit more so so, but the service is good and makes up for some of this. Good value too, especially when you go in the week.

Lovely Carvery served by friendly staff & such lovely food at an amazing price . We came away full to the brim . Jordan served us & the Carvery was served by Laura . Thank you to everyone who works there .

Lovely carvery beef was tender. Very nice welcoming staff Louise and Jordan. Manager dean was very polite . Will definitely recommend.

The service was spot on and all staff very friendly and the food was spot on really enjoyed it the meat was very tender and for the price well worth with no pots to wash

Absolutely beautiful morning in the ferry! Went in for breakfast before work, the food was beautiful, the staff were absolutely amazing. There was a lad called Jordan, and a lad called Tom and they were both lovely, both went out of their way to make our visit extra enjoyable. There was also a girl called Molly, she so sweet and professional, she made sure to ask if we had any allergies and just made our visit all the more lovely ❤️ don't ever let that girl go! sun was beaming in, beautiful views, music was brilliant and we just had a lovely morning. Highly recommend, all you can eat for just £5.99 👍

O.K .Ish Staff seem to use this place as a social hub for themselves. As a customer you feel second best! Management please note.

Lovely staff. Lovely food. Couldn’t have been more helpful. Would recommend a visit. They go above and beyond to let you have a great experience

Absolutely amazing Christmas dinner at the ferry staff were welcoming and very friendly. They were carm under pressure and the food was amazing 10 out of 10. There were no long waits and got us seated before are time as we arrived early.

We are a group of Riding for the Disabled volunteers & we chose to have our end of term lunch at The Ferry . We were made welcome on arrival & shown to our table. The carvery was excellent with a choice of 3 meats & a lovely selection of vegetables all cooked perfectly. Everyone cleared their plates with some leaving room for delicious desserts. We shall certainly be back.

Sometimes I can't understand the negative reviews given by members of the public about the Ferry hotel. I have been a patron for a number of years and I can't bring to mind any complaints. My last visit ,only a couple of days ago, I had a carvery that, as usual, was impeccable but was most impressive was the welcoming smile of Tom who made me feel I was no trouble. It's a fading thing nowadays. Left, as usual, more than full but with a lovely wave from Tom and Laura. Maybe the fault might lie with the customer rather than the provider. It's only my opinion but I have never been let down.

Ordered a takeaway on the app as they had a deal on 40% off Ordered the food for 8:45pm I arrived at that time to be told that the kitchen closed at 8pm So a 45 minute round trip to collect some food for me and they tell me when I get there Then to further my disappointment this joke of a man called George, looked like some version of a microwave technician dressed as a chef came out and started laughing about the whole thing, when I told him how much I had travelled he found it funny Spoke to someone at head office who said We actually overpaid you on the refund by 3p and we consider this material closed Really ???? Avoid this joke of an establishment Horrendous.

Me and my friend came for a roast dinner everything was spot on. Molly and faye were very kind and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Will definately be returning

I went with my two boys for tea. The food was lovely, all fresh and tasty. The service was 10/10. Molly was so friendly, really welcoming and chatty. Such a friendly, beautiful girl with a bubbly personality. The other girl that served us was called Faye. Again, lovely member of staff, really helpful.

very nice food and drinks, quick, 10/10 service from lizzie, would definitely come again. atmosphere was good xxxxxxx

From minute we walked in the door we were met by louise a very friendly face and very polite,extremely helpful,food was amazing would definitely return

Visit The Ferry often and just love the atmosphere and the food. Louise is always there with a smile on her face and happy to help with any questions. Never had a bad experience and will be returning soon.

The breakfast was cooked by Laura and was nicely presented, I was greeted by Faye who is always pleasant and polite and served by Louise which is always a pleasure. Great service

Really enjoyed the breakfast that was cooked by Laura. Served by a young lady called louise who was very friendly and welcoming.. Faye came and checked everything was ok.. very nice place to eat

The young man who I believe is called Connor was very welcoming and smiley which made us feel comfortable. He also made sure our order was correct and told us where to go to get the carvery (which was amazing!) Brilliant customer service😊

By far the very worst food and service I have been subjected too!!! Connor the bar man really should reconsider his career path! Dreadful service and the bar waited a while to be served and then got huffed at for ordering food and and spoke...

Always a lovely trip to the Ferry. We had an enjoyable and plentiful meal this evening. Friendly and accommodating staff. Great location overlooking the channel. We will be back soon. Thank you

Came in for food with my family and Faye made sure she looked after us,she went out of her way to make sure we had everything, we will be back

Came to the ferry for a few drinks with friends, lovely barmaid called faye served me, always friendly and always helpful, always comes for a chat

Ordered a dirty philly burger (no spice whatsoever as it was for my son) they sent in its place some spicy dorito burger with jalapeños, no roast potatoes or Yorkshire with the carvery, the entire bottom layer of the container was rock hard stuffing (obviously...

Attended an 80th birthday party at the ferry last night, had a great time, Faye was very attentative and polite, had a great night, entertainment was amazing, great fun had by all.

Always a brilliant service and polite staff especially Faye. Works so hard always friendly and lovely xx

Friendly staff especially young Louise that served us with a pleasant smile Gave us a great customer experience at the Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery! ☺️ Would definitely return as it really is service with a smile

Exceptionally friendly staff at the best of times but a big thank you to Lou for bringing my dog water without even asking 😁

Lovely breakfast waffles were the best got served by Louise she was polite and friendly made us feel welcome

The whole experience is was disappointing. First of all when paying they make you pay a tip, yet the customer service was so terrible that the tip was completely undeserved. The Mac and cheese was cold. The pizza was underwhelming with very little topping. We...

The Ferry is absolutely appauling. Three times now have they caused major issues. The service provided is terrible. The first disappointment was ordering a Carvery on their website to Takeaway. A hour after I ordered it I received a phone call informing me they could...

4 months ago my husband and I visited the Ferry and we were very disappointed with the carvery and said we would never go again but with a little encouragement we tried again and were really happy. The meat was cooked perfectly and the vegetables...

Had a great Sunday carvery at the ferry hotel today ,even tho there was 15 of us ,everything went very smooth from ordering to finishing,excellent food and friendly and helpful staff

The ferry is an absolutely fantastic restaurant/bar. The staff are really accommodating and will go out of their way to make your visit a memorable one. Louise was our server and she has added to the experience with her warm and friendly nature 5 stars

Fabulous meal and service, they even managed to fit us in on a fully booked Mother's Day, highly recommend the Carvery 😃👍

Brilliant staff, do anything to accommodate. Megan and Lizzie are amazing . Sam the kitchen manager is superb can’t fault him or the food.

I recently used the Ferry Hotel's Online Takeaway Collection service and there was an issue with my order. However the General Manager contacted me and invited me to visit the Restaurant so they could make things right. Upon visiting the Restaurant the Manager greeted me...

Decided last minute to go for tea. Staffers friendly and helpful..good value for money with good sized portions. Will defo be back.

A consistent and great quality carvery meal matched with a high level of customer service from all staff. Well done again!

Thanks to Dean for his wonderful hospitality today with our table of 8, he was incredibly helpful with allergens & generally so accommodating. Thank you so much we will most definitely be returning for a roast dinner again!

Me and my family went yesterday for the carvery and it was lovely, we weren't booked in but got seated straight away, the manager was lovely with my two young children he was laughing and joking with them both. I didn't really understand ordering through...

Second week in a row, breakfast this time instead of carvery, chefs are really helpful as well as the bar staff. The food is brilliant and wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend.

Cracking food, as always. Breakfast has all that you would want. Friendly and helpful staff All clean and welcoming

I came to The Ferry with family for a carvery on a Sunday afternoon. It was no surprise (and probably a good sign too!) that the pub was very busy. This meant quite a wait to be served. However the carvery was nice, especially the...

My friend and I decided to pay a visit to The Ferry, tempted by the Carvery, we were NOT disappointed!! The Ferry has been very hit and miss the past few years, sadly often by clueless morons leaving the most pathetic reviews. Feeling their lives...

We chose the Ferry because Paula fancied a carvery. First impressions good. Sunny afternoon with people enjoying a pint in the sunshine. Inside though this place could do with a make over. Also annoyingly around the dining area were an abundance of flies. Obviously attracted...

Went yesterday with family (a group of 5) was informed it would be a long wait for food (understandable had the place not been dead) and when it did arrive was cold and below wetherspoons standards, just absolute waste of an animal, the manager Dean...

Greeted by friendly staff , there was an issue with what I'd ordered and I was told promptly and ordered something else with no problems , food arrived and it was lovely , I can recommend the pizzas . There was then another problem in...

Need I say more. Staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. A lovely afternoon. Would have stayed for pudding but no room. Thanks everyone x

I was served by bar maid Lizzie, and she was very smiley, she was so good with my children, absolutely smashing, so polite, she is a credit to your company.

Visited on the 9th July and was greeted by friendly staff ( Lizzie ) We were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely be returning for a drink in the sun again. 😁

When we arrived the restaurant was fully booked but the manager found us a table anyway. The food is brilliant and chefs accomodated the fact that my son cant chew meat so very kindly offered an alternative at no extra cost. Staff are very friendly....

We visited here for breakfast with my 1 year old twins, the lady serving was lovely but halfway though eating someone (I want to say manager but how I do not know) came over and said it unacceptable that my twins had dropped food on...

Good start to holiday went to the ferry for breakfast was greeted by Cheryl, very pleasant lady, looked after us really well. Had a nice breakfast to start the date

Went in for lunch; paid my money. The chef might as well have cut the meat with a razor the portions of meat were so thin. I made the mistake of asking him for a bit of skin off the turkey and he looked at...

The Best pizza ever!! Super friendly staff, fabulous value and will definitely return! Well done to all the team!! Brenda and Friend!!

Whilst the food was good, it could of been so much better. The first clue was was, why was it so quiet and why are they stop serving food at 7pm, ? All seems bizarre, the place was grubby, with sticky wooden tables with absolutely...

7 of us visited for Sunday evening tea. We hadn't booked and was very busy. We were greated by the manager who could not do enough for us. Found us a table, made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything. Food was good...

Order a chicken burger , came cold first time so sent the food back . However they did re make the burger for me - second time around the meal was prepared to a poor standard . Will not be visiting again . The server...

we booked Christmas Dinner a couple of weeks ago, the Manager and Staff were excellent, we had a drink in the Bar before being shown to our table, all in all an excellent meal by all involved, will be back again.

We were shown to our table by a very polite man possibly with a Southern Accent? Was he the manager? He was very cheery and professional throughout. Probably deserves promotion to area business manager if you ask me. He was brilliant. Food was really good...

Went for a pint or two. Girlfriend was working as a member of staff messing around and having a laugh with a local. Who then decided to punch her in the face by accident or on purpose not the point, not the first time happened...

The bar service is good, this is the second time in four weeks I’d taken my Mam for a Carvery , second time to give a convenient pub a second chance. But we waited and waited on both occasions at the food server part to...

I would like to thank all the wonderful staff at The Ferry for such a lovely meal, today. We were greeted in such a warm, friendly manner, and the staff member made us feel relaxed and welcome. All our meals were freshly prepared, and were hot and full of flavour. It was such a treat to enjoy a meal with no washing up involved. Once lockdown is over we will be happy to return.

Called in today with the family. Had a mix of meals, Carvery, Pizza, Stack Burger and Kids meals.All meals were thoroughly enjoyed. Nothing was to much trouble and the staff were really helpful and polite. Hoping them well for the looming lockdown. Was a really nice experience and meal. Thanks to The Ferry team.

From high standing a few years ago with a brilliant compliment of positive staff and a simple but effective menu now is the complete opposite with silly pizza vs carvery gimik and it seems to even make the staff cringe.

Después de leer algunas críticas negativas pasadas y luego algunas más positivas, pensamos en intentarlo. Solo queríamos un almuerzo decente el domingo. Entramos por la puerta principal a la hora reservada, el personal nos dijo que esperáramos afuera debido a COVID, lo cual está bien, luego nos llevaron a un pub casi vacío y nos sentamos. Nos dieron una hoja de verificación para pedir nuestro asador y bebidas. La camarera llegó un tiempo después y tomó el papel, vino directamente con la máquina de tarjetas para el pago. Pedimos una coca-cola y una limonada, ambas planas. Nunca he visto una burbuja. Algún tiempo después salió la comida y estaba mal, incluso con una hoja con cada elemento claramente marcado para cada plato, todavía no estaba bien. Habían mezclado cosas en los platos, las recogieron y rasparon e intercambiaron cosas entre los platos. Luego trajeron el dobladillo con salsa que goteaba claramente del raspado. Y he visto atropellamientos mejor presentados. Fue simplemente tirado en el plato. Les informamos que las bebidas estaban planas, dijeron que podría ser el gas, cuando trajeron los reemplazos estaban igual de planas. Entonces preguntamos nuevamente por las bebidas, esta vez con quien creemos que pudo haber sido el gerente, trajo un tercer reemplazo y una vez más fue plano. La comida en sí era mucho menor que el promedio, un plato estaba cubierto con lo que el menú llamaba zanahorias naranjas, el relleno estaba tan cocido que parecía como si estuviera despertando Blackpool Rock, estaba tan crujiente. Para un negocio que parecía muy estricto con las regulaciones de COVID, no le importaba a una de las jóvenes mujeres del personal que o no usaba su máscara, o estaba debajo de su barbilla o estaba medio puesta, la cebada cubría su boca. Así que, en general, la comida fue extremadamente decepcionante, el servicio fue aún peor. Así que la reciente revisión positiva claramente ha sido realizada por un miembro del personal y sus familias o algo así. Definitivamente no recomendaríamos este lugar.

Fui hoy al ferry y me senté afuera con mi hijo pequeño, el banco estaba roto y tembloroso, el hombre fue tan grosero que supervisa o administra el lugar, te habla como tu estúpido y como tu grueso! ¡No hay cubiertos ni servilletas con mi pedido de comida hecho para esperar, hecho para pedir todo el tiempo para recordar! ¡El distanciamiento social es bueno pero el hombre es tan impactante que es irreal! No es necesario ser descortés y no complaciente

Este hotel no estaba abierto, su sitio web dijo que sí, estacionamos y esperamos, y esperamos y luego llamamos para que nos dijeran que no abren hasta las 11 am y, al contrario de lo que dice el sitio web, no desayunan en absoluto

El nuevo gerente parece haber tenido un impacto muy positivo en el Ferry. No he visitado en meses, a pesar de vivir cerca, ya que los estándares se habían deslizado mucho. Durante el encierro me detuve para tomar una copa y quedé impresionado por el distanciamiento social y las medidas de seguridad vigentes, por lo que decidí llevar a la familia a comer durante el plan de comida para ayudar. La comida era muy buena, al igual que el servicio, y estaremos visitando más a menudo a partir de ahora.

Very impressed with the social distancing. Staff friendly and very accommodating.A very nice surprise to find out that they where doing the eat out deal fantastic will be calling again.

Tuvimos una visita realmente positiva, la hemos visitado dos veces desde que salimos del encierro, ¿cómo no con sus precios y amabilidad? ! el personal es siempre tan encantador y amable, siempre hace todo lo posible y realmente administra bien el lugar para garantizar que sea lo más seguro posible. Las pizzas estaban deliciosas la primera vez y el asador es encantador, barato y alegre. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? ! ! ¡El ferry realmente ha cambiado desde la nueva administración!

Estaba visitando a mi madre en Walney y decidimos ir aquí para un asador. Fue nuestra primera salida a comer desde el cierre y quedamos muy impresionados con el servicio. A pesar de seguir encontrando nuevas pautas y reglas, TODO el personal fue un placer y nuestro servicio fue excepcional. Hubo una espera, como se puede imaginar, un domingo por la noche, sin embargo, el gerente fue muy servicial y siguió controlando cómo estábamos. El personal del bar fue amable y servicial a pesar de la cantidad de clientes e incluso me cambió una estación de pago porque no podía llegar a lo que se había configurado para el distanciamiento social. ¡Un agradecimiento muy especial para Tom en el asador que fue muy servicial y sirvió un asador a pesar de mis molestas peticiones! Muy bien hecho a todos, soy de Birmingham e incluso si mi madre no viviera en Walney, ¡todavía vendría a ustedes para un asador! ! Me emocionó verlos tan ocupados y creo que todos ustedes demostraron que el trabajo en equipo hace que el sueño funcione. ! Me sentí limpio y seguro y realmente disfruté de nuestra experiencia. ¿Le deseamos mucho éxito en el futuro?

Visité el domingo a las 5 pm con mi hija y mis nietos. Primera visita desde la reapertura y estuvo ocupado. El personal fue cálido, amable y acogedor y trabajó muy duro para garantizar que se cumplieran las nuevas medidas que habían tenido que introducir (estas causaron un par de problemas menores pero se trataron de manera eficiente). La comida era excelente, muy caliente y muy sabrosa. Los postres eran generosos y deliciosos. El servicio tarda un poco más con las nuevas reglas, pero todo estaba impecable y nos sentimos seguros durante nuestra visita. Muy recomendable.

I have been coming to the Ferry for many years and the carvery became horrendous. But this last year new management and staff have transformed it back to exceptionally good. Well worth a visit now.

We called into this pub just for a few beers as we had a table booked just up the road at the king Alfred and I’m pleased it was just a few as place was freezing even though weather was atrocious staff was friendly and helpful but I don’t think we would rush back in a hurry

This place looks out over the water right by the bridge across to the massive BAA systems building which is quite impressive, we where here at the Ferry on Tuesday for lunch, I had the carvery and my wife had a meat-feast pizza, they where both very good and great value too, the service was friendly and we where well looked after, will defiantly be using this Pub more often even though it is a bit of a drive for us.
