Outside area looked pleasant from a distance. Right on coast. Needed some tlc. Tables cleared very slowly, quite grubby. Generally needs a face lift. Inside looked ok. Service a bit slow for drinks. Didn't stay for food due to above reasons. Won't go back.

My wife and I and a couple of friends recently went to The Ferryboat Inn for Sunday Lunch. We were welcomed by a lovely lady. The staff were friendly and efficient and the service was very good. The food was delicious.

When we got to our table that wasn't even reserved as requested we were told at the bar that the menu had been changed and food was limited due to the manager getting married. We came from Bristol to come here didn't end up eating and went to a nicer place. They should of put something online to let people know what they were doing will never come back here

Beautiful place to sit and have dinner, especially if the sun's out and you can sit on the decking. I've never eaten a better roast, absolutely delicious, the parsnips and potatoes are devine! We've been at least 5 times in the last couple of months As with most places the prices have risen considerably for eating out, however with this pub I feel the roast is absolutely worth it, you don't mind paying a little extra if youre getting something extra special, which you are. Well done to the kitchen for serving fantastic quality food even when it's busy!

Nice spot with a great view of the estuary. The food was standard pub grub, possibly a little on the pricier side for what it was. It looked like the sea wall had shifted when we visited causing some subsidence of the outside seating area which was consequently cordoned off, so I suspect it may be having a refurb soon.

First time frequenting this lovely pub - we’ll definitely be back. Parking very easy and free for guests. Plenty of room both inside and out and lots of choice on the extensive menu. Portion size is just right. My fish and chips was really good. Friendly, efficient service provided by Ken and the team. The only minor criticism is that the front of house staff are not always up to date with what is available on the menu. It took three tries and trips to and from the kitchen for us all to achieve a dessert - they were yummy when they arrived.

Ordered 2x sharing platter’s to come as main meals, this was confirmed with staff. The food came early just as our starters had come, they said they couldn’t take it away but they offered to cook us a new batch. They clearly didn’t do this, was just put under a heater (which the waiter promised they wouldn’t do). This resulted in me and my girlfriend who was sharing this to end up with food poisoning. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT

The dog friendly area we sat on was spacious well decorated with great views of the sea and ferry. If using the car park, its free, but don't forget to pick up your scan code from the bar, and enter your number plate from the machine inside the pub as you are leaving. Will be returning soon.

We hadn't booked a table for Mother's Day, but we decided to try it as we were in the area. We were given a lovely table in the back room, with views of the sea in all directions. Special mention and thanks to Ken, who was well organised with all the tables in the room. In particular, it has to be said that he took great care of us despite it being jam-packed. All of the food we ordered came out at a reasonable rate, piping hot, and was delicious. I recommend the fish and chips, and the gluten-free options were also great. Children's meals were well priced and a good portion size—also tasty. I asked for a coffee to go, and that, too, was no problem. The atmosphere was great, with pleasant background music —not too loud. Five stars—I highly recommend the Ferry Boat Inn and look forward to stopping by again.

It was not our first time at this pub, but it has been a while. Everyone of our group enjoyed their meals with the exception of me. I had the fish and chips, which was, in my opinion, over cooked. The fish meat was dry with batter being ultra crispy. Several others also had fish and chips, all declared their's to be very nice. As for the other meals, the scampi, beef and venison pie, and hunters chicken were all declared to be very nice too. So, I drew the short straw. I didn't complain as I didn't want a replacement meal, meaning I would be eating when everyone else was finished. And it wasn't inedible. Will I go back ? Yes. I never write a place off on the basis of a single meal. One other negative comment. I ordered bread and butter to go with my meal, having noted that they were going to charge £1 per slice. There was I thinking it would be a nice crusty bread, maybe granary, ciabatta or something special. Nope, two slices of slightly dry sandwich bread from a loaf that probably cost £1.50 That's not a bad profit. I'll end this on a positive note. The apple and ginger crumble dessert served with a jug of custard was very nice.

Had lunch here today was vey disappointed that was unable to have a glass of savignon blanc without having to buy a bottle had to have a glass of chenin blanc that was not particularly nice. Also it's a shame you don't do small plates as not only children but the elderly do not have large appetites. In the past I have been able to order a savignon blanc by the glass this change will definitely make me think twice about coming back what a shame.

Me and my husband had lunch last Friday, it was very quiet. He had sausage and mash. The gravy was packet mix and far too thick. Learn to make gravy if you are a restaurant. I had mozerella and avacado focaccia with chive mayo (doesn’t that sound delicious) No chives, thin little squirt of mayo, dry bread no butter. 3 DRY ? Slices of mozerrella 2 pieces of avocado. SAD as can be for £9.00 !! My salad looked like it died yesterday and should have been in the bin, so I politely asked if there was any more green salad available. I was told that wasn’t to eat, it was just for show. At this point I did have to say I’m sorry but everything on my plate should be edible !!! Their menu looks fancy and they can’t deliver, they need simple good quality local produce delivered well .
