Ferryboat Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

£3.40 for half an orange juice and lemonade. HALF!

I had an excellent dinner here while visiting Falmouth, which is just a short 15 minute drive away and well worth a visit. Walking down from the car park (£2 all day) the view is already picturesque. The setting is beautiful, right on the water front. The service was faultless and everyone was so friendly. I had the special aranchini to start and chicken schnitzel main. There's something for everyone on the menu. The wine list was also great. Looking forward to coming back with my partner in the near future. Thank you all.

Lack of choice on menu Food not hot..not the same as I remembered the pub being years ago..location as always stunning

Nice place by the sea and great beer and food

A beautiful location to sit outside in the sun! Visited on a weekday during the Easter holidays and it was very busy but service was still very friendly and efficient. Food was really tasty, we only had a few sides but all the seafood coming out looked very high quality. Parking is behind the pub and up a very steep but short hill so something to be aware of you have mobility issues.

Great location but only stopped for coffee.

I've always sat outside until today. I really enjoyed my visit. The inn/restaurant is classically tasteful, attractive and the service was friendly and excellent. Thank you.

Great night out watching the Oggeymen at the Ferryboat Inn last night. Atmosphere was superb and can't complain at the service for drinks and snacks. Didn't eat on this occasion, but know the food is lovely. Big fan of the venue.

We had booked a table as it was the Easter weekend. I felt the menu was quite limited and more expensive than I was expecting. Sadly my burger was overcooked and the meat sort of crunchy and crumbly. I did not enjoy and have no plans to return.

Very busy. Staff look exhausted. Still a great pub

Great location, excellent food, lovey staff, we had a great time. The mussels are out of this world and the sticky toffee pudding is delicious.

Very pleasant service on what was a busy day for the pub. Food was as you’d expect for a lunchtime menu, but was promptly served even though we were a table of 8. All staff were friendly and welcoming. We will all return again for an evening meal.

Visited twice during our week in this beautiful part of Cornwall, had mussels and fries overlooking the river today after a coastal walk from Glendurgan Gardens, just stunning. Food and service was excellent, staff were friendly and efficient, wish we could come back again.

Excellent food, great service and a nice atmosphere. Staff always friendly and attentive. I had soup on this occasion which was tasty and a nice size portion. My friend had hummus which was lovely but some more bread was needed. Food consistently good.

Good food, lovely staff, great views, relaxed friendly atmosphere 👍plenty of parking. 😍

Great pub at the end of lovely walk from Durgan. Don't take a car there in holiday season.

Really enjoyed it. The beech it sits on had a real good vibe about it too. And very dog friendly.

This place is a real gem. Food and service were very good and the decor inside is very cosy and nice.

Wonderful pub with an excellent menu. Great service. Don't miss out if you're in the area. I advise booking as it's so popular.

Great food, friendly service, right on the waterfront. We went in December and they have great overhead heaters so we watched the sun go down over the estuary - a must - go pub!

Always a treat to come here; lovely pub. Delicious food and in a beautiful setting.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, great service, friendly staff

Fabulous meal!! The scampi was quite exceptional both in quantity and quality! My companions also enjoyed fabulous meals! Will certainly return! Friendly and efficient staff - always nice to see. AAA***

They provide a Sunday Roast option beef, pork or veggie squash, with specials on the day. Beautiful view over the bay. Great for families or small groups. I had roast pork and cauliflower cheese.

Visited for lunch on a Thursday Ordered Fish and Chips and Scampi The food was delicious - service was excellent It was a lovely sunny day - made the most of it by sitting outside. Not too busy but it's popular so you may have to either eat inside or have a slight wait for a table outside (weather permitting). You park up the hill. If you have less-able people you can always drive into the entrance to the car park, go down the hill and drop off / pick them up at the back of the Ferry Boat (try to avoid going down the road to the front of the Inn - it's a very narrow road and quite a drive to a turning point) Always an excellent place to visit. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience at the Ferry Boat for lunch today. After a long coastal walk, the service was absolutely fantastic, all the staff very friendly and served so quickly, despite a nearly full restaurant (always a good sign!). Food was quick to come out and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend and definitely visit again.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday Roast. Good quality meat well cooked, as was the rest of the meal. With friendly staff in a stunning location there's nothing to fault.

Visited with friends that live locally and would highly recommend it if you find yourself in this part of Cornwall. Great atmosphere and place to watch the sun go down and stunning views of Helford Passage. The food was also reasonably good from what I was able to pick off my childrens' plates.

Small menu with a few specials but tasty burger & loads of chips! Pleasant staff. Dog friendly 💕

Good food (burger and a schnitzel) which we both really enjoyed - service helpful and friendly too. Beautiful spot and worth the steep walk back to the car park !

Fantastic location and great food, plenty of it and very fair prices 😋 the tacos and clam chowder were amazing 🤩

Stopped here with family for a quick bite and drinks early afternoon. Service and food was excellent. Lovely staff. Great to sit outside in the sunshine with pleasant surroundings and nice views. Found the place to be very friendly and welcoming. All very good.

Lovely spot, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Went for tea Saturday evening and very impressed with the food… and the personal service, catering to the wife’s allergy to certain fruits very well.

Lovely pub close to the water. Great food, beer and service

Two stars only because of location and the beer was ok. Evidently just aimed at tourists and money, such a shame. Food wasn’t priced appropriately, again, tourists and money

We visited for drinks and again for lunch the following day. This pub is in a lovely location and overall the staff were friendly. Good food & beer selection. But the tables were dirty, rubbish left on the side was walked past several times by the serving staff. We sat at the same table and the same food residues from the night before were still on the table. My husband asked for a cloth and instead of wiping the table for him they handed it to him! We ordered the fish chowder which was nice but a small portion. The problem is that it is very off putting eating in a place where the staff don’t think it is their job to maintain standards of hygiene. We have been here before and appreciate that it was a busy w/e. But please improve staff training as they are letting the kitchen down

Had a lovely lunch with a group of friends and family! Had the Chicken Schnitzel, the portion was fairly big, not as crispy as I had expected it to be, but that was likely due to the butter that ran through from the young potatoes. Also had Sticky Toffee Pudding, my weakness when it comes to desserts - it was super nice that they did replace the clotted cream with ice cream as per my request, loads of caramel sauce that got soaked up quickly!

Second time that I have walked for over 3 hours to get here only to find it shut. This despite the website saying that they are open until 22.00. Advise you call prior to setting off.

Great service and were excellent at adapting the menu to accommodate my food allergies.

Harbour view.... pint at garden...

Cracking linguine and truffle fries!!!!

Fantastic setting, service and food. Would absolutely recommend

Fabulous place this is one of the best places in Cornwall, I came here back in the eighties . Been back several times the ferry boat inn is amazing go and visit its worth the trip. 5stars isn't enough.

Bank Holiday Weekend the Ferryboat Inn has become a private members club for the staff before 10pm Such a shame that this lovely venue has become so unwelcoming of customers.

Highly recommended. Despite the terrible weather the views over the creek are exceptional!

This is genuinely my favourite place to eat food in the world, having discovered it a couple of years ago. Can’t beat the linguine with crab, samphire and sea bass. Sublime.

Good food, great service and lovely views.

The menu and food is amazing, and what a view. Look forward to coming back some day!

Delicious food and friendly staff. I’d recommend the crispy squid and prawns, as well as the fries! in terms of getting to the Inn, I would not recommend driving from Gweek to Helford Passage as our satnav took us down the narrowest roads and we had to reverse back down hills multiple times for cars to pass by. definitely go via a main road instead as it will be much less stressful!

Lovely, lovely location. Didn't eat. Ferryboat's own beer awesome.

Fantastic. Really friendly service and excellent food and drink. Would certainly recommend booking in advance although outside tables are available....may just have to wait for them. Beautiful setting so isn't much of a hardship!

Lovely evening out with good suggestions from staff and exceptional food.

We stopped for a pint after visiting Grebe beach. Lovely location, great garden views out onto the Helford river

Fantastic service in a beautiful setting 👌

Wonderful ancient hostelry by the river a lovely atmosphere friendly staff. Meals superb and very good value. Excellent views from the terrace.

Exceptional food, service and location!!! We ate here multiple times during our week's visit to Cornwall! The crab roll was filled with so much crab meat and was incredible! As was the crab linguine with pan fried sea bass. We have also had the fish and chips and chicken parmigiana - both faultless! If you have a sweet tooth then the sticky toffee pudding and Eton mess won't disappoint! The staff are super welcoming and well trained and the setting, overlooking the Helford River boats is charming! Highly recommended 👌

We had a party of 8 and the Ferry boat Inn were very helpful and joined some tables together to accommodate us. As we had varying requests for our food it all came out well presented and at the same time, portions , quality and service were first class , a lovely atmosphere and would highly recomend the Ferry Boat Inn. Sue, Derek and party. 🙂

Great veggie salad, great service, great location

Beautiful place to hang and have a pint. Limited food hours and £2 parking was a bit off but otherwise we’ll worth a visit. Lovely staff.

I moored up on one of the boys and made a reservation. I got the water taxi across to the pub which had a lively atmosphere with most of the outdoor tables taken. The table I had was overlooking the beach/waterfront. Good choices of fish on the specials board and the main menu was pretty good too. A good selection of beers and wines. Overall a good experience. I left before the Morris men arrived.

Nice stop off for lunch with excellent quality food and great views across the water

Travelled over by boat with friends. Slightly expensive but that is to be expected at this time of year in that location. The service was great and the staff were very helpful

Absolutely beautiful food and service

Lovely evening meal. Indoors was fairly quiet, although the terrace was busy. Staff were welcoming and service was good. Varied menu, we tried Thai fish curry, beef tacos and chicken schnitzel, all delicious

1 of the most beautiful places in Cornwall The food in the ferry boat Inn is outstanding the staff are so friendly and helpful My happy place

Superb food, wonderful views out over the estuary

Amazing atmosphere, great service ,glorious views. Family and dog friendly. Delicious food . Pool table and board games available to play . I highly recommend ferry boat in for locals and visitors. 10/10

What a beautiful area to visit, sadly the meal of Fish & Chips was not very good in fact we both started to feel sick after a few bites of the fish, the batter was the culprit we think, the chips were so so and the mushy peas were gourgous, service and staff excellent.

Lovely beer on the bench watching the kids play on the beach. Good friendly service and the food looked great, I certainly heard no complaints from the diners around me.

Very scenic calming and satisfying.

Lovely public house, good food, great location

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it apart from walk back to carpark. The beer was very good as was the food while watching the activity of boats gets my approval would spent more but driving

Recommend by my sister in law, good stop for lunch on a coastal path walk. We sat on the terrace as summer and had Sid the chocolate lab with us . Has good space inside the pub with a traditional cornish sea feel as your would expect. Clean and tidy pub. Salt and pepper squid and prawns , mackerel tacos , with side of sour dough and skinny fries to share for all three of us, plus Sid . Service friendly and quick , food very tasty , hot , very good lunch , Sid approved of the fries and bread. Water is available on the terrace for dinners and dogs good touch. Good simple lunch menus , portions large , can easily recommend for pub lunch , would come again for sure !

The food is quite snacky, but fine for a pub setting. It's the location that counts, go on a sunny day and sit outside. Amazing spot.

We had a fab lunch here after a tame nautical adventure in an inflatable kayak. The food was superb. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend stopping in.

What a a wonderful location for a cold drink in the shade with a fantastic view on an extremely hot day. We had walked the scenic coastal path and in need of refreshment sat in the shade before a swim near the pub. One of our favourite places to swim, it was a great day out.

Recommended,excellent food and service.

This is a lovely pub in a fantastic location. We stopped for lunch over the bank holiday weekend. Staff were great and we did manage to get a table on the front terrace. We ordered sea bass salad which was AMAZING, chicken schnitzel, again very nice and steak sandwich which was a little disappointing. It was not a sandwich for a start, it was presented in a soggy looking brioche roll and had FAR too much truffle oil on it. However, 2 out of 3 meals were nice and the service was very quick, efficient and friendly. Prices were about average, nothing to complain about. Overall a nice little pub lunch was had and we’d definitely go back.

Lovely views with a sunny aspect. Friendly staff, quick service and tasty food.

Lovely spot for a pint and some food. We had dinner and it was delicious and managed to get a table outside. Views overlooking the river were amazing and nice atmosphere. Would recommend

Had a fantastic birthday party there, very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely place. We sat outside overlooking the river. It was magical. The food was good too and the staff were lovely.

Nice steak brioche, good ale, lovely location

Great place to sit and enjoy a meal and a drink

The food here and the view here is a perfect combination! Came here after spending a day on the boats (recommended to us by the boat people) and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips were lush, very fresh and delicious. The beef brisket was also amazing. The specials were also lovely, everyone really enjoyed the linguine!!! Would highly recommend

Really lovely and relaxed, food was excellent, definitely coming back.

Delicious food, great location, good vibes, loved it!

Amazing location, great food, lovely place to visit.

Excellent! Mussels delicious. Beautiful view of the beach and the short ferry ride was cute and fun! Recommend this trip...we enjoyed it!

Lovely polite staff and very helpful Food is amazing

Great pub in a fantastic location directly overlooking Helford river. A fantastic spot to get a refreshing drink and sit outside watching the boating activties on the river.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Niedliche Bucht.

Fantastic pub in a beautiful setting. We arrived early for our table and had a drink outside in the sunshine. Was given an option to stay outside or come in and eat, which was lovely. We ate inside and all 4 of us ordered off the specials board. The prawn main in garlic and chilli was exceptional and went great with a side of fries. The seabass and crab linguine was another highlight and was obviously popular, as it had sold out by 7pm. Service was great and there was a lovely selection of beers and soft drinks to please all. A really great pub that's definitely worth the steep walk down from the car park.

Fantastic food in an idyllic setting. Service was excellent, I cannot recommend this pub enough. This is the second time we have visited in the past six months and it has still retained everything as we remembered previously.

Always amazing. Lovely lovely service and food, beautiful atmosphere and location, great food and beer. A solid favourite, can’t visit the area and not go here.

Food was very good pub style fare. Service was efficient and cheery. We've been a few times over the years and the pub seems to have hit its spot at the moment with a good menu, chef and staff combining.

Never a bad visit to the Ferry boat Inn and today was no different. Excellent place and friendly staff. Lovely hidden gem on the Halford Passage which is worth the adventure to find. Only grumble is the price of Korev is creeping up, £6.10 a pint, however it was a 'proper good pint' 👍

Beautiful place to visit and really lovely food

Nice view, nice food, nice people! Hurrah!
