Reedham Ferry Inn in Broadland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stayed on the campsite and ate at the pub on a very busy evening. Some items on the menu sold out but food available was well presented and tasty.

Sunday lunch rude staff felt as we were an inconvenience Meal ok very little beef and gravy Unable to provide apple sauce with the roast pork!! We were told if we wanted it they would have to go to the shop and get some Diet Coke poured from a large bottle into glasses it was quite flat Whole experience not very pleasant

I went to visit my daughter and grandchildren who were staying in their campervan behind the pub. The site was very good and you could go fishing on a lake a short walk across a field for which there was a charge. There were plenty of fish. Had supper at the pub by the ferry which was nice watching the ferry go backwards and forwards across the river. The pub has ramps for wheelchairs but to sit by the river you had to go over steps.

We were staying at the campsite and chanced a dinner here even though the reviews are a bit of a mixed bag. We were happily surprised by the exceptional service - both staff members who served us were lovely - the gentleman in particular (1st Aug) was very lovely. And we were also half expecting some very average food, but it was well above average. On recommendation from the staff member, we had the Reedham Ferry Burgers and the kids had two children's macaroni cheeses and they were all very decent quality - one of the better pub burgers I've had - very juicy and a lovely soft bun! We'll definitely be back next time we stay! Cracking location, too!

Don't normally write reviews after going out for a meal but after reading some of these what would seem non factual reviews thought I would. Myself & my wife went for a last minute meal came across from beccles side so got a free ride on the ferry to use the pub we were asked if we had booked which we hadn't but not an issue still managed to find us a table and told us a couple of things that had sold out/wearnt available place became very busy beer was good as was the food I had fish & chips my wife the ferry burger both meals excellent big portions and asked if we needed anything and if meals were OK Staff rushed of their feet the young chap & lady behind the bar who looked after us really cheery and polite beautiful location they even had a chap singing live although we left just before he started chap on the ferry was really talkative as well. So ignore the negative reviews be realistic its a busy pub so if you want a a-la-carte top notch meal go elsewhere be charged a fortune and still come out hungry or uf like us you like a.proper pub with good honest food then go here no complaints will be back thank you reedham ferry inn 😀

Was very let down by the standard of food and the service couldn't really care whether they had customers or not The food was disgusting the quiche had no taste and was cold when it should have been hot my husband's pork dish was awful as well so if I was you only drink definitely don't eat

This site is in a fantastic location there is-no argument about that. Sadly that is where thing’s stop. The toilet block, whilst relatively new is very poor and dirty. The washing up facilities have for two days had no hot water. I have rung and emailed the site manager but no reply. The phone just rings out. Considering we are at the start of the Spring/Summer season things are not looking good.

Very disappointed. Only 4 things on the menu for Sunday lunch. Beef or pork roast dinner; chicken pie or leek and mushroom "pie". Small portions: one carrot, two potatoes, small amount of red cabbage. Such a shame because the walk was lovely and the pub is nice.

We could have chosen another Pub for lunch in the area but decided on The Ferry at Reedham. We both chose a main meal from the limited menu, roast beef lunch and a mushroom and leek pie lunch. We were very very disappointed with the meals served up. The pie was tiny and in fact not a pie at all. Very small portion of mushroom and leek slop in a side dish sized bowl with a very poor flakey pastry top. Four small potatoes ,two pieces of broccoli and a spoonful of cabbage. The roast beef lunch was slightly better as you got three pieces of carrot and a Yorkshire pudding,! We didn’t hang around for a pudding as we didn’t wish to be further disappointed. So all in all the food potions were very small and we left hungry!! Not value for money at all. .

We had heard good reviews about this place so chose it to celebrate my husbands birthday. We booked Sunday lunch and 3 nights on the campsite. The pub and location are lovely, I wish I could comment on the food but they chose to serve walk ins without saving enough for those of us that had booked so Sunday lunch was completely sold out before our allocated slot and we were left with a choice of burgers, fish & chips or vegetarian. We decided that if they could not deliver what we had booked we might as well cook something ourself. The campsite is basic. The toilets, showers and washing up facilities could do with a good clean. There has been no toilet roll in two of the ladies cubicles for at least 24 hours. The young lady that cleaned the ladies this morning cleaned the mirrors and sinks - nothing else. Sadly we will not be returning.

Love it, another super week at this lovely site, clean,tidy and great shower block. Spent time with Mr Archer fishing and drinking and having great food in the restaurant. As usual all staff both inside and out were great. Reedham Ferry Inn is a brilliant little pub full of history and related information. Been lots of times before ( no wish to go elsewhere) and will go back whenever I can. Brilliant.

Stayed at the campsite and it was lovely. Location was a perfect setting with the river,boats and river ferry and off cause the pub where we had a wonderful Sunday roast and dessert!!

We were moored alongside the single car chain ferry which was rustic and felt as though we had entered a time-warp. The Ferry Inn was old, with no houses nearby, standing alone on a stretch of the river Yare. The staff team keen attentive and homely. The Inn is filled with antique hand-tools, there was always something to rest your eyes on. I ordered Seabass. It was sublime! A large fillet served on potatoes with mustard seed and a delicious buttery glaze. Scrumptious!

Once you step inside the pub has got real character - warm and spotlessly clean. Real friendly welcome from the bar and best beer in the village

On the (unexpected) hottest weekend of the year, the staff coped admirably in challenging circumstances. We had the Sunday lunch, which was superb! Highly recommended- will definitely return

None electric you camp where you want in the designated areas & EHU are allocated pitch numbers on a white board. Lovely site next to the river, chain ferry & internally a lovely historic pub. Own fishing lakes & has direct access to river walks. The old white block of toilets were closed (where the pot wash is) Washing machine £4 & did a good job. If you have a moho & want to use the hose to fill up you will have to do it there. Otherwise unless you have a fully serviced pitch the water points are push button (so bring a watering can) The showers are push button & the light did go out as no sensor in shower. They just needed up keeping better - eg missing toilet seat in the men’s. We sat outside the pub which was nice & inside is lovely. I don’t think they were doing food when we were there as there was no sign of a menu nor were we asked if we wanted to eat. Staff were friendly just a little lack lustre. Site is up to 1.5m from village f & c Thr- Sat, 2 riverside pubs, Cannells by the river cafe & deli (all locally sourced very nice) post office tea room & shop. We would stay again & recommend despite the few bits pointed out.

Excellent dinner, Sea-bass, and Scampy. Served promptly and efficiently. Really nice helpful, friendly Bar-maid

Very long wait for meal to arrive, nearly cold roast chicken, very thick gravy. Roast pots ok. But very poor value.

Very mediocre meal, potatoes that were hard and tasted like they were frozen ones . The meat was tender but tasted like it was boil in the bag with some steamed veg. The gravy was runny and a bit oily We were also charged for two drinks we didn’t have (we did go back in and asked them to refund them which they did ) I am getting a little fed up with paying £15+ for less than basic home cooking

Reedham ferry inn is an old type pub with amazing food the friendliest staff you could ever meet, lovely beer garden over looking the river was so peaceful with the ferry plodding back and forward. The campsite is small but very well rounded,basic loos and showers but fine, lovely walks along the river, just perfect for us,so we will be visiting again as we've been there a few times now. Thanks . There is also a very well stocked shop further into reedham just along the river, selling jams , chutneys, sausage rolls and cakes and along the same strip in a very quaint cafe/post office which serves the best breakfast with a proper tea pot

just back from another great visit to this site, flat,clean great shower block and super pub. Crazy covid times but the ferry inn has done great in their pub and on site to keep all safe, an absolute must to visit.

Upon arriving was greeted pleasantly We ordered our meal ,well what a disappointment 3sausages on a small portion of mash,instant may I add spoonful of peas red cabbage with raisins,£15 . Pie potatoes very crusty job to put knife through peas and red cabbage . To top it all guests with 3dogs at opposite table. In a restaurant please £15.hasten to add will not be going again. Guinness and a coke £9+.

Can’t understand the neg reviews we had a great meal with friendly staff ! The pork belly was superb, chips on point The prawn cocktail better than the Ivy in norwich Well done guys

Visited on a lovely warm day so sat outside by the river. The sun was in and out and it would have been nice to have had the option of a parasol especially as we had a three year old with us, however, there were none. We ordered our food, prawn and crawfish panini and a Brie and cranberry panini. Our little one ordered sausage mash & peas. The food duly arrived and the panini were ok, nothing very special and a meagre amount of chips to go with them, this was a shame as the chips were actually excellent! The child’s meal was terrible! The mash was actually like gloopy wallpaper paste, he left it and ate my chips instead. There was a huge pile of peas on his plate and two sausages which appeared to have been deep fried. Overall, it was ok, the pub itself is looking tired and in need of a bit of TLC . We won’t be hurrying back sadly.

Its always great to be back at Reedham Ferry where the welcome is genuine, the beer is good and the food is delicious (although a tad pricey now). In the main bar, there is a great atmosphere and our party of 14 were very grateful...

Fantastic fresh good portion sizes. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Everything was homemade and absolutely delicious. I haven’t eaten such good food in a restaurant in a long time. Madeline was amazing- thank you for being friendly and attentive.

One of my favourite places to eat usually But today Easter Sunday truly awful Sunday roast meat awful cold gravy tiny bit of sauce.what is happening have the owners changed?

Lovely place with amazing owners! Beautiful scenery! Great food! Not to mention a great selection of ales and largers!

Such a nice place to visit. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty. Nice atmosphere. Location is lovely

Such a beautiful proper local pub. We visited all 3 'locals' over the week and the best customer service and food by far was from the lovely Samantha at Reedham Ferry Inn. We had a very yummy 'Ferry Burger' and Fish & Chips, as well...

Booked a table for eight of us, wish we hadn't. Three people had sausage and mash, we needed a magnifying glass to see the mash, which hid under the three sausages. Served along with a handful of peas. Another dish ordered was the Ferry Stack...

Cosy traditional pub, log burner, main bar looks like it hasn’t changed in centuries. We had fish& chips, done to perfection, huge lump of cod. Free ride on the ferry is included if visiting the pub. Definitely going back for more.

Last time we came here a few years ago the food was really good. What a disappointment this time. I ordered the seafood chowder and it was absolutely boiling hot, as if it had been microwaved, and all the seafood was really rubbery. I also...

While having an excellent meal here one evening, we noted that the chef was Austrian. We asked if we could have 'Wiener Schnitzel'. The chef offered to make it for us but needed 2 days notice to obtain the ingredients. So 2 days later we...

I have been to this pub lots of times but sadly this will be the last for food.Its a lovely spot by the river and the campsite is great.Ordered cottage pie and ham egg and chips.The cottage pie was tasteless had not been seasoned the...

It’s the first time we have walked out of a restaurant but we couldn’t wait any longer. We ordered at the bar - food and drinks and sat at our table. 90 minutes later no food after asking a number of times what the problem...

Service was polite but not allowed to run a tab if you are seated outside - disappointing but not a deal breaker. However, service was slow and my "chowder" consisted of a tin of tomatoes with a few chewy muscles and inedible rubber rings which...

We stopped at this unique location with a chain ferry on Thursday the 18/8/2022 for a pint and evening meal. The meal was good and the staff were very good. Have to say from the riverside and comparing it from my (much younger) days it...

Sat outside in the sun on the patio watching the boats with Prosecco 🥂 and then popped in to eat... Food and stag were fab.... The fish platter was too die for 👏👏

Waited over an hour for food. Turned-up wrong - and largely inedible. Overpriced. Rude staff. Avoid unless you're desperate.

Had a really amazing meal today. The new chef is producing fantastic food with decorative flourishes - strawberries dipped in chocolate anyone? Sam, running the bar, welcomed everyone with a lovely sunny smile.

Booked a table in advance by telephone having not been in since pre-Covid days. Surprised and disappointed at how dull the menu was; more 'greasy spoon' than restaurant offering but suspect they must have a cook rather than a chef in the kitchen; no imagination...

Lovely campsite set next to the river with plenty of walks with 4 pubs within walking distance. Lovely new toilet shower block just a shame the cleaner dosnt seem to care lots of spiders webs dead flys on ceilings and walls having said that the...

Booked a table for 3 on 16/07/2022 for Sunday 17th for 12,30 only to find a table was not reserved but got a table in the end ,ordered meal at about 12.50 and had to ask at 13,50 about the food and was told will...

Booked in to the campsite for a couple of days and still had to pay £4:50 for the trip across on the ferry, campsite is good, clean shower block but the pub…. Well, this could be a gem, superb location but have to say it’s...

Table booked for 7pm, food arrived 7.45, and was delicious. Lots of waiting staff ‘milling’ around but not checking on diners if all was ok or more drinks etc. Had to ask for more drinks and for someone to take our desert order. Waited a...

This was very poor. The singer on the few occasions she actually sang, appeared half drunk. The bbq chicken I had was underdone. The service at the bar was poor - long waits. The scenery was nice but I'd never eat there again. Pity. I...

The toilets in the pub are shared with the campsite, so don’t sit in the left front on the pub. All you can smell are loos. We booked ahead but the staff didn’t reserve us a table. Food was standard pub fare, nothing different on...

Have moored a boat here periodically for over 40 years, always been a favourite. The moorings are now in a dreadful state and only available for about 5 boats at most. Food (which was very nice) only served to 4pm and pub closes at 6pm...

Simply abysmal. Sunday lunch - they'd run out of roast dinners at 1330! Rest of the menu available. Except the first two items on the rather short menu were the roast dinners. (Roast belly of pork is not my idea of a "roast" in any...

Do not take any notice re Sunday roast and choice of meats on website. Only a very rare beef with lots of fat but worst of all a glass of merlot provided with sediment in glass.

I am one of the ferry operators and speak to most passengers, including those who visit the pub to eat. I always ask about their experience and I can honestly say, I have only heard positive remarks about it and have worked on the ferry...

Lovely campsite, only a mile walk into Reedham. Food in the pub was lovely, but be warned the pub isn't always open.

What a pleasant surprise when we entered this old pub and restaurant. Still with its old fashioned charm and decor, it was a delight to see. A warm cosy bar area with fire and eating area off the bar where we sat looking out onto...

Maybe I didn’t read the menu properly, but having ordered macaroni cheeses, I would have expected some greenery on the plate. Nope. Macaroni cheese with BREAD. After a starter of baked Brie - with bread- I felt all carbed out. For these it cost £19....

The perfect country pub to visit. We really enjoyed, our food, service and the ambiance of this lovely pub /restaurant. Started with the honey baked Brie with sour dough bread followed by slow roasted beef cheek. Food was delicious and service was great. Truly worth...

Great campsite. The word ‘complex’ may create an impression that was different to our simple October experience. The site is level, services are well situated and the toilets and showers are modern and clean. The site is managed remotely but well organised and that worked...

Stayed at the campsite, having been here previously. 12 of us booked for a meal, menu was incredibly short as they did not have availability of menu listed items. We were dealt with in an abrupt and Surley manner, basically put up or go! The...

We turned up as a group of 14 to moor up for one night, The manager of the pub was extremely rude and abrupt, we had spent over £100 in the bar in about an hour and asked if we could get a portion of...

Drove here for lunch by the river only to find it closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Slightly surprised as it's August and high season but I guess they're suffering from staff shortages like everywhere else. So we had a little trip on the lovely ferry...

My Wife and I had been meaning to visit the Ferry for some time we were not disappointed it is beautiful, even on the rainy day that we choose. It was a lovely drive through arable and marsh land to one of Great Britain’s unspoilt...

Great campsite and food in the pub excellent. Brie, smoked haddock, sea bass and the largest cod and chips. All cooked superbly. No complaints.

Booked a table for dinner and was disappointed with both the lack of personality and the quality of food. It's only saving grace is that the Guinness tasted good!

Lovely Campsite ,Dreadful restaurant Firstly Service without a smile from the lady behind bar who I believe was the manager. Tables not clean felt sticky ,chairs seemed old and chairs rickety ,window ledges dirty we had a window seat but too dirty to see out...

My sister in law had booked a table for Sunday lunch - 1230pm 4 adults, 1 child and a small dog We were shown to our table, all the other tables around us still had dirty napkins/debris on them. Our table was sticky, the window...

This is a good little pub in a great setting by the river. Was a little worried given some of the recent reviews but we had great meals with beautifully cooked fish when we visited. The service was great, despite all the Covid restrictions they...

beautiful clean campsite but BEWARE the adjacent pub was very disappointing with over priced meals ( you'll need approx £20 per main meal) and a dirty and uncared for premises i.e.. dead fly on the sticky uncleaned window sill next to my table. A window...

We had booked for Sunday Lunch to meet friends and reserved a table for 2pm, surprisingly, on being shown to our table inside the room, overlooking the riverbank and ferry was virtually empty and the bar area almost deserted. Due to an accident within the...

We had booked a table for 2pm for our anniversary. We have 2 dogs with us and wanted to sit outside so that the dogs wouldn't upset anyone. We walked into an empty pub and said do you mind if we sit outside instead of...

We had booked a 1 o’clock lunch. I had read the reviews which didn’t sound good but we found the staff polite and helpful. The Humpty Dumpty ferryman beer was in very good condition. We ordered ham egg and chips and a crab salad. I...

The ferry is the only reason for visiting this pub. Staff are unhelpful and offer no hospitality. No sandwich’s or bar meals on offer, hopeless for a bank holiday weekend... never again!!!

We visited one evening late May 2021 under new staff and a new chef according to the menu. We were handed a menu and shown to our table. The menu had a good range of food for lunch but the evening menu was limited especially...

Our food was cold and covered in congealed gravy. It had obviously been sitting around in the kitchen for some time. It was inedible. We will not return.

Arrived at 7.30pm for a 7.30 reservation. Despite 3 staff behind the bar our order for food was not taken until 7.55. The menu was as published on line with no specials board on offer. We went to the bar to order more drinks but...

A lovely meal in beautiful surroundings on the Broads, staff very friendly. I can recommend the beef cheeks, and the burgers were huge and very tasty.

The Reedham Ferry Inn is part of a complex that comprises the adjacent touring park and also the chain ferry itself. We visited only with the intention of seeing the chain ferry in action but were lured into the inn after being impressed by the...

I have been eating and drinking at the Reedham Ferry Complex since 1980. I have visited there whilst boating, camping at their campsite, and even whilst living in Horning, which is a 25 minute drive away. A friend of mine even travelled from Somerset to...

We had a snack here on the Saturday, which turned out to be a huge roll, and chips, it was very good, so booked a table for Sunday Lunch. The staff were friendly, and they do work hard, serving people inside and out. We had...

Staff very professional and courteous. Food excellent. Nice pub, mainly empty due to time of year and the ending of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. As a couple we each had a main and a dessert. The starters were limited to a choice...

We went to the restaurant as a family of 4 with two children aged 9 and 7. Kids meals were overcooked but I had the fish which was okay, we also had the steak, which was cooked perfectly but missing any option for accompanying sauce....

This was a lunchtime visit for us. Lovely setting after our trip over by foot on the chain link ferry. Free by the way for pub customers, but not for cars. We both chose the Mackerel pate to start with, which was excellent. Followed by...

Fantastic meal at the Reedham Ferry Pub/Restaurant. Food was excellent and the service was friendly and helpful. Monkfish and chips was amazing. Definitely be back Thank you

We walked from Reedham...a lovely walk in less than half an hour. Footpath closed along the river but we walked along quiet roads. Great location and everyone was having a good time. We had booked and that was necessary as they were fully booked. We...

Just spent a delightful morning with my 8 year old granddaughter. Reedham Ferry!We travelled over the river and returned, as footpassengers...so inexpensive! Picnicked on the other side of the River. Just goes to show- a simple trip...so unusual..maybe Normal for Norfolk?we live locally-but I have never been on the Ferry before...will definitely visit again. Check the web site for days when OPEN!

Visiting Reedham Ferry Inn Restaurant for the first time today, we were very impressed. Firstly, the chain ferry which carries you across is so brilliant, then the location, location, location is awesome. Views stretching along the river and across the reedbeds. White sails float by,...

Really can’t fault Reedham Ferry pub in any way. Customer service, food and location. It really tops anything else! Thank you.

Lovely pub, food always good. Bad Customer service from one of the lady staff memembers, bascially threw our food on the table with a not so friendly manner. We used the same door as everyone else to come in and out of, only for this same lady to abruptly tell us to use the other door next time. This while we were standing to the side to let her through. Instead of a thank you from her we bascially got told off. Her customer service skills are really appalling. A smile goes along way, but we definitely didn't get one from this lady. Sadly ruined our first pub experience since lockdown.

Stopped in to eat on the off chance, no booking. We ate outside with a lovely view of the river and ferry boat in action. We asked about a GF menu (each day is different during lockdown being gradually lifted) we were thrilled to find 90% of the menu was gluten free. Daughter opted for bunless steak burger topped with mature cheddar, bacon and chips. Husband had the most perfectly cooked sirloin steak and son and I had roast sirloin beef with all the trimmings. Absolutely spot on! All meat was cooked perfectly, the roasts were gorgeous and you could have moved into the Yorkie it was that big!!! £58 minus drinks but worth every penny.

We were accommodated without a reservation. Service was good, food was delicious. The view from the conservatory was lovely on a sunny but chilly Sunday afternoon. We didnt want a large meal just a light bite and I must say the portion sizes were definitely right. We have stayed at the attached campsite in the past, a pretty site, also a larger open field which was great for our family camp. Nature is all around you; fishing, birdwatching or just sitting by the river and taking in the ever changing view of the passing boats with a excellent glass of beer or wine in hand.

Stopped here for lunch on Valentine’s Day despite the ferry being closed. We hadn’t booked but they couldn’t have been more welcoming and the pub was beautifully decorated.We were offered both the 5 course special Valentine’s menu, or the pub classic menu. Five courses was a bit much at lunch time and we still had driving to do, so I had battered monkfish goujons and my husband had the whitebait. Both were excellent with beautiful homemade tartar sauce and a lovely dressing on the salad. Excellent chips! Prices were very reasonable too.We are so glad we made the effort despite no ferry running (which was well signposted). Will be back again next time we are up that way.Thank you for keeping such a beautiful old pub running so well, and especially to your bar lady who was so welcoming and looked after us so well.

Met some friends that live locally to the pub for Sunday lunch. We all had roast beef and it was absolutely delicious, the chocolate brownie that followed was easily the best brownie I have ever eaten!

Just back from a surprisingly good lunch at The Ferry, a pub i know well as I live in the village. If I am honest, it's been a bit on and off over the years, but i have to say today's meal was fab. A rump steak ordered medium rare and delivered exactly that, furthermore it was full of flavour and very tender, not something you can take for granted with a piece of rump. Good chips and tasty veg, thankfully none of that wet veg stuff. The boss ordered the Sunday Roast, sirloin of beef with all the trimmings and that was also a fine result. Perfectly cooked beef, assuming you don't like it cremated, with generous veg, roasties and Yorkshires. A warm welcome from young James and a generous glow from the woodburner in a characterful bar. Sounds good and it is.

Fabulous New Year’s Day drinks and lunch Friendly pub with great food Service excellent Highly recommended

Had lovely pre Christmas meal. Delicious fresh and tasty. Welcoming staff and good selection at bar and restaurant. Would go again

Amazing food . Brilliant campsite. The food at the inn is top class. Not only do we have your bog standard bar food but also A La Carte . Special thanks to the wonderful Mary behind the bar. Nothing was to much trouble. Young James was hard working and polite. Paula was always smiling. In all great food. Great staff. Pub also very dog friendly.chain ferry staff very accommodating.

Old riverside pub with meals by the Reedham Chain Ferry, dog friendly too with very good real ales, good food, a good atmosphere, quaint and interesting interior. On our one weeks holiday we came back a second time as the Rib Eye Steaks here were quite superb. It's advisable to book in the summer months.

Book beforehand, this restaurant is extremely popular, especially if you are on a boat. And if you do book, try to book a mooring. The food was superb. The service was fantastic. A must if you are on the boats.

Me and I partner were very disappointed with the food and how small the portions were. Didn’t think it was good value for money and we have decided that we will not be going to this pub ever again. It saddens me that what used to be a very popular pub especially for their Sunday roast meals that we have had before has now gone downhill including their serving staff.

Moored here one night during our 2019 Broads cruise (moorings are currently free) and ate at the pub with a few rounds of drinks. The pub only opens at 6pm for evening service so bear that in mind if planning a stop here.

Nice meal here little pricey had a 50 min wait for main meal no starters ordered so a little to long for me but still enjoyed meal. Nice beer garden right in front of the river and great moorings right out side. Nice to watch the river ferry going to and throw takes you back in time , would go back
