The Ferry in Stratford-on-Avon

Nice friendly place, food and drink were tasty and decent value, not cheap but fine value for money. Staff were friendly and efficient. My criticism is that I picked the place on the basis of the Trip Advisor entry saying it was vegetarian friendly and vegan options. The website link didn’t work so I couldn’t check this. Actually, there were no vegan mains I could see and the only vegetarian main was vegetarian lasagna, so I went for that. It was fine but I was expecting more choice given the listing. Maybe take that bit down if you’re not offering vegan mains?

Nice location in a pleasant village. Of a choice of 4 starters and 4 mains were told that only fish and chips were available at 18 pounds price on the menu. We were surprised that VAT was added onto the bill( not included in the price on the menu) making the cost over 20 pounds for fish and chips and adding 7.25 more to the bill than the prices on the menu with no note or warning of it.

A fantastic gastro pub, located in a quiet village just outside Stratford upon Avon. Great food, topped with unfaultable service…. Perfect location.

Wonderful small pub, lovey friendly staff and very welcoming regulars. Stumbled on it by accident - Sunday afternoon - after visiting Charlecote (national trust). We both enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch

Perfect country pub, beautiful Sunday lunch - trio of meats cooked to perfection, very generous portion sizes. Great range of seasonal vegetables and excellent service. Couldn’t ask for better.

Delicious food and great service. Nothing was too much trouble. Food looked appetising and there was plenty of it for the price.

10 of us met for a special birthday evening meal. The food & service were fabulous & we were looked after perfectly. I would definitely recommend The Ferry & we will all be returning soon.

Nice cosy pub in pretty village of Alveston. We hadn’t been for awhile. Nice reasonably priced lunch choices - fish pie was excellent. Owner very pleasant and welcoming.

Fab Sunday roast with rare tender beef. Yorkshire puds just right. Plus usual very patient and smiley server. Thank you Eileen, Peter and Joan.

We had booked an evening meal for Saturday and were surprised the pub wasn't busier. Notwithstanding us being the only booking, the chef had stayed on from lunchtime and proceeded to serve up a real treat for all four of us. The steak and kidney pudding (an increasing rarity on menus) was sublime, the haddock and chips great quality and home-made vegetable lasagne did not disappoint. Local (N. Cotswolds) beers and a decent Shiraz, all served up with a smile and sense of humour by barman Chris made an otherwise regular night out something a bit special. Definitely worth making a visit if you are in the area.

3 of us came here 24/9/23 for Sunday lunch. We hadn’t booked and as it was late on in the afternoon thought the chef had finished for the day but kindly agreed to provide us with wonderful roast dinners with tender beef, homemade Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese, green beans, leeks, carrots, parsnips and lovely crispy roast potatoes it was all delicious and then we had home made fruit crumble and custard which were superb !! The lady serving our table was so accommodating nothing was too much trouble it was all perfect especially as we were really hungry as had been walking for a couple of hours around Charlecote Park. A great end to a lovely day although we appreciate fully it’s best to book in future to avoid disappointment. Thanks again to all the staff.

Very enjoyable evening with excellent service and food. Chatted to chef at the bar at the end of the evening to tell him how much we enjoyed his food

Visited midweek, booked in advance but only half full (most people had dogs with them the evening we visited), v simple menu including fish pie and gammon and chips, good quality and huge portions, excellent pint of North Cotswold Shagweaver bitter, v cheerful waitress. Many thanks, we will return

Absolutely fabulous food, beautifully presented and lovely helpful staff. We will definitely be returning!!

Staff could not do enough for us. My husband had roast pork Sunday lunch & I had mussels. They were the best I've ever had 😋

Lovely village setting. Welcomed by regulars and staff. Great service. Food was of a really good standard. Decent value. Perfect on a summer’s day.

We visited this local independent pub for Sunday lunch and we was not disappointed, the service/food was absolutely divine. This place is a hidden gem. We live over 30 mins away and we both agreed that we will visit again

I was camping in the Wellesbourne last month and came across the Ferry. I visited most if not all the pubs in the area and this was my favourite by far. It is a lovely traditional pub in a great setting. Friendly staff and stupendous real ale. There were 2 local beers, both in great condition. Highly recommended!

After two huge disappointments on a planned day out, we decided to find a pub for lunch! We read reviews for The ferry and decided that give it a try. Great decision.... We received a warm welcome and ordered two drinks, then with two menus in our possession, we sat down next to a real fire Through our time in there we were neither hurried nor ignored. The meals were freshly cooked and delicious and delivered with smile. The ginger Parkin with rhubarb syrup and vanilla ice cream Oh my...... Great portion sizes and not expensive for the standard of food we ate. We were the first in there but, it soon filled up and there was a good atmosphere.Heartily recommend a visit.

Lovely food, great service and well looked after. Thank you to Martin for doing 2 extra special meals for my partner and father in law. Can’t wait to go back. Excellent place.

Martin and his brother really know what they are doing. Everything from Great food, superb service, spotless toilets and a lovely local atmosphere.

Great meal at the ferry the other night. Brilliant service in a lovely setting. Something on the menu to please everyone. Enjoyed a special of a falafel burger, having multiple vegetarian options as-well as the amazing looking meat options is always good to see. Couldn’t ask for anymore from a place. Definitely worth a visit. Will be going back!

Absolutely fantastic meal, drinks, service. You will have to go some to beat this place. Very welcoming hosts. The food was brilliant. 10 out of 10 all round. Made us and our dogs feel very special. Can't wait till next time. Thanks Martin & Andy...Brill.. First Class .. Steve Julie Ali Clive Buster & Buddy

Just nipped out for a couple of evening drinks, when deciding to have dinner. The menu has options to cover anything you could fancy. Ended up going for their “signature dish” the lamb Henry, was perfect. Lamb just fell apart and was full of flavour. Ate outside whilst enjoying the sunset and beautiful surroundings. Gorgeous little pub, with friendly and bubbly staff, not to mention the mouth-watering food, definitely worth a visit!

What a little gem of a place, we are not local so didn’t know what to expect, well we certainly wasn’t disappointed. We weren’t rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Very reasonable priced and very decent portions. The wine was equally as nice. Staff were lovely. If you are in the area please visit you will not be disappointed. We are just sorry we don’t live closer! Thank you…

Visited the Ferry while staying near Stratford on Avon. The service was good and staff very friendly. The food was lovely large portions and they were happy to change the dishes slightly when asked. Salmon salad was delicious.

I have fished the Avon at Alveston with a friend of mine several times. Today we decided to sample the food on offer at The Ferry. I'm glad we did, It was one of the best pub meals I've ever had! We both had whitebait for starter which was superb. I had Gammon steak with pineapple for my main, which was delicious. My friend Rob had a burger for his main. His clear plate was a sign he enjoyed his main course!The staff were attentive from the moment we arrived. Making sure our drinks were topped up and that we had plenty of sauces, vinegar etc.. for our food. Very impressed and we will probably call in after every fishing trip now!

Picked The Ferry off google as it was close to where we were staying. Excellent food and a good selection of beer and wine in an attractive and socially distanced environment. The service was very good and the staff were all pleasant and efficient. Highly recommended, especially the home made burgers. Will definitely visit again the next time we are in the area.

Nice to do a review with every thing perfect. Setting is out in the county in a rural inn but only a few miles from Stratford-on-Avon. We sat inside were everything was spotlessly clean and fresh. Nice selection of drinks available. The food was to die for all very tasteful and excellently presented, cannot say enough how great it all was. See pictures attached. We had the Turkey Goujons with sweet chilli dressing and chicken pate with onion relish. Mains of the Henry slow cooked Lamb very very tasty and the Asparagus tart. Desserts of a light lemon tart and a vanilla cheese cake with berry layer and a jelly top it looked and tasted amazing. Drinks of tea to finished severed on it’s on tray with timer. The staff all pleasant and friendly. Would we go back of course, shame we are not closer. Make sure you book as very popular and we now we know why.

After having a lovely meal with friends here last year we decided to visit again recently. What a disappointment!. The menu has changed, there was no atmosphere at all, the prices were ridiculous for the portion sizes. Never again. In future we will eat in Sheep Street where there are a number of lovely restaurants with much nicer food and atmosphere.

We came across The Ferry by chance while staying in Stratford . We had a fantastic meal with friends in a very relaxed atmosphere . Front of house was a guy who was very polite and informative . The menu was great and food excellent and good value. Would highly recommend and we will be back soon .

We went for dinner on the first day the ferry had been open since lockdown. The food was lovely, the staff friendly and helpful, as well as the relaxed enjoyable atmosphere. It’s one of our locals and we will be going back.

Fabulous food and fantastic service terrible situation for all due to the current nightmare have booked again for Sat 5th December 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞hopefully. stay safe all. Look forward to some more excellent food wine and service. Jeff and Carol

We popped in to the Ferry for a pint on our way home from a trip to Warwick.While sitting we asked to look at the menu and that was it we were hooked.The food and service were first class.Restaurant quality to rival Stratford's finest without any of the pretentious nonsense!Thoroughly worth a visit and can't wait to return to try the lamb!

Even when booking a table for lunch I was impressed with how helpful the gentleman I spoke to was. On arrival everything was in place to reduce the risk of Covid 19, we had a corner table and there was plenty of space. The service was excellent and the food was too, hope to return next month and wouldn't hesitate to recommend

We just had an amazing meal at the Ferry this evening. Delicious and clearly made by people very passionate about food. Highly recommended - we would definitely visit again when in the area.

Visited The Ferry with parents who live local and have eaten there before. Food was delicious and service excellent, the chap behind the bar could not have been more helpful. My only issue was my daughter who was a vegetarian ended up having to have soup (broth)and chips, which was delicious, limited choice on the Other than that, would definitely recommend it and would definitely visit again.

We have enjoyed visiting Ferry since lockdown relaxed ..most recently we had seafood salad and chips..and a burger respectively followed by ice cream. Good food..Nice ambience. It's always a consistently good standard.

Comimos en The Ferry para el cumpleaños de mi esposa y llegamos después de un paseo muy, muy húmedo por los campos, mis dos hijos empapados y temblando. El personal fue absolutamente fantástico: secaron la ropa mojada de mis hijos y pusieron un calentador en la mesa para calentarlos. Al final de la comida (encantadora), el propietario nos ofreció llevarnos de regreso a nuestro campamento ya que no había taxis locales disponibles. Un servicio amable y generoso que superó las expectativas y una velada verdaderamente memorable. ¡Gracias!

Disfrutamos de una deliciosa comida en este acogedor pub. Buenos procedimientos de seguridad sin sentirse autoritario. Maravillosas comidas de un menú que ofrece una gran variedad. ¡La tarta de queso con queso azul es imprescindible! Excelente servicio, ambiente agradable y buena relación calidad-precio. Merece estar más ocupado, pero es perfecto si está tratando de evitar los lugares para comer abarrotados. Altamente recomendado

Lovely meal here this evening for our wedding anniversary. Excellent and friendly service as usual. The stilton cheesecake makes up for all of life's disappointments!

Una comida mixta en cuanto a calidad.El cordero estaba delicioso, pero las verduras estaban un poco aguadas y no muy interesante. Las patatas asadas fueron una gran decepción. No rociado con regularidad tan bastante insípido. El pollo estaba delicioso aparentemente. La carne estaba bien.No te molestes con el ruibarbo y el jengibre de Eton. El ruibarbo sabía enlatado, el merengue seco como comprado en la tienda y no pude probar el jengibre en absoluto. Básicamente no era comestible y esa es la opinión de todos los comensales en mi mesa. 21 por dos platos.Volvería a ir allí. No.

Comimos el domingo aquí con amigos. Su emblemático cordero Henry era magnífico. Las carnes asadas eran un poco raras para nuestro gusto pero buenas. y los Yorkshires eran enormes. Ambos venían con una buena selección de verduras y postres para morirse. El personal llevaba máscaras y nuestra mesa estaba en el ventanal, el único en la habitación, así que nos sentimos muy seguros. Atendieron bien a nuestros sin gluten. Por dentro es antiguo con vigas bajas y puertas y el ventanal da una bonita vista del pueblo. Recomendado.

Nice place, nice people and a sensibly priced menu. We had the Lamb which was Lovely and I had a steak which I would order again. The chips are fab! Special shout to the lovely staff.

Visité a mis padres ancianos el sábado pasado por la noche. Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y aunque había menos mesas debido a las restricciones de Covid, todavía había un ambiente realmente bueno. Tuve el cordero Henry, que estaba delicioso. Vale la pena una visita, toda nuestra comida era de un alto nivel, sin duda volveremos.

Este pub y restaurante del pueblo es excelente en todos los aspectos. El menú es variado y de alta calidad recién elaborado. Almorzamos recientemente y las medidas de precaución del Covid 19 se llevaron a cabo muy bien. Nos sentimos muy seguros. El cordero Henry es un artículo de autor acompañado de verduras frescas. Comida fantástica!Los postres que tuvimos estaban muy bien presentados y encantadores.Utilice este lugar para disfrutar de muy buena comida fresca preparada por verdaderos chefs. Bien hecho de nuevo.

No habíamos visto a nuestra hija y su familia desde que comenzó el cierre, así que tuvimos un delicioso almuerzo el sábado. A pesar de los requisitos de salud actuales, el personal nos trató muy bien y el menú estaba a la altura de su estándar alto habitual. Especialmente digno de mención fue el Lamb Henry que mi esposa y yo comimos, ¡maravillosamente cocinado y deshuesado!

Service good a usual includng very sweet waitress. Took a friend who appreciated the good value of the weekday 2 course lunch menu. My hubby slightly disappointed the sausage and mash was not on the menu today but he was very pleased with the pork dish. Thank you once again.

Pub located in quaint village of Alveston, close to Stratford upon Avon. 2 courses £21.95, 3 courses £26.50. Delicious food presented very well. All of menu marked whether gluten free or not. I had chicken breast cooked in a creamy sauce with a stack of roasted scallop potatoes and a mixture of veggies. Husband went for lamb eith redcurrant and rosemary gravy, roast pots and veggies. Both had rhubarb crumble( included hazelnuts in crumble) with proper creamy custard. Service was good and ambience cosy.

We were in the Stratford area and were looking for somewhere to pop in for lunch and had heard about the Ferry so decided to take a look. From the welcome when we arrived to the great food it was a wondrerful experience. This is a real eating place with real food that everyone would love. The gammon isn't a slice of bacon, its a real gammon steak and the rib special was fantastic. If you like good, well coocked, well delivered food not at extortionate prices we would suggest that you go here and give it a try, Its a great local pub/restaurant and we will certainly go back when we are in the area.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Glad I found this place and will definitely be returning. From the starter to the dessert the food was outstanding. Beef was melt in the mouth loveliness, lamb was tasty and vegetarian dish also excellent. Desserts fab too. Service was brilliant. Worth braving the stormy weather for. A hidden gem amongst a raft of mediocre Warwickshire pubs!

This was our favourite type of eatery, one which you discover out of the blue, by mere chance. We were in the area for a couple of days and driving around when we saw a signpost, "Ferry Inn". So we did a u-turn and followed the signs (and our noses) and came upon The Ferry, in Alveston. We had only intended to stop for a beer but we were also deciding on where to eat that evening and so we asked to see an evening menu. The menu was very enticing and, perhaps, ambitious in its choice and variety of dishes, but we were enticed and so booked for dinner that evening...we were given the 6.45pm sitting slot. It's a modest sized pub/restaurant, run by a team of 3 with, approximately, 7 or 8 tables. We gorged ourselves, to be honest, the food was absolutely fantastic, the service (carried out by one person, hence the dining slots) more than matched the quality of the food.This was quite a while ago, so I can't remember exactly what we both had but I recall that I had the goose liver pate to start, the lamb henry with parminter potatoes and finishing with Eve's pudding, all of which were prepared to perfection. There were a good selection of beers and real ales (I reverted to type and went with a personal favourite, Spitfire). The cost of a 3 course meal, no wine and the beer was around £65, which we considered to be a very fair price for the standard of food and service...we've certainly paid more, in the past, for far poorer fayre.Access wise, there is one large step to get in, i'm not sure about the disabled WC facilities inside as I had no call to need them. There is a ramped terrace area outside the pub, which would be ideal in the summer months. All in all, I highly recommend this establishment, whether you simply want a nice beer, in a traditional English Pub setting or a fine dining experience, be it lunch or dinner.

Lovely pub, excellent food. Friendly staff.Beer very good also.RecommendedShould be enough info however t a wants me to say more.Set satnav for address, don't worry if it seems wrong but pub is on ferry lane. In a nice neighbourhood. Lucky neighbours.. Enjoy.

Visited today with a group of 7 "older" clientele. The service was exceptional and we were served with attention, patience and a gentle sense of humour! All requests were handled positively and the food was excellent. Delicious fish platters, artisan breads, and deserts. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Este fue el tercer viaje al ferry y no me ha decepcionado ninguno de ellos. el anfitrión es brillante, compartiendo esta vez, preguntas de Navidad para agregar una sensación de temporada al evento. La comida era, como siempre genial, y el servicio excelente. No puedo darle nada más que 5 estrellas

Viajamos 30 minutos para probar basándonos en excelentes críticas, pero una bienvenida espinosa de un chef / camarero cuando intentamos encontrar una mesa libre nos obligó a mudarnos. Está bien si están reservados, pero no está marcado y hay formas más corteses de tratar con un cliente.El jefe de cocina? tomamos nuestro pedido y fue un placer hablar con ellos, y la comida era buena.El servicio fue lento, no quedaban menús ni platos en la mesa durante un tiempo, lo que es una carga para los niños que ocupan entre los cursos.No se le ofreció una segunda ronda de bebidas y luego una insistencia tonta sobre la cual la bola de helado fue permitida en el menú del niño por el primer camarero, queriendo cobrar 2 extra por el sabor que un niño de 2 años quiere, les cuesta la oportunidad para el resto de nosotros de probar el desierto , lo cual fue una pena.Un bonito pub del pueblo y la comida que tuvimos fue buena. Deseaba desierto, pero toda la experiencia se vio arruinada por un servicio al cliente menos que estelar de uno de su equipo.

Slowed cooked lamb....10/10 Great pub with a nice mix of locals and people like us out for a nice meal. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. The brownie was also amazing! Will be going back soon Real fire Real ale Real food....

Visitamos a mitad de semana, v welcomimg desde el exterior y el interior, un menú limitado pero la comida es de una calidad mucho mejor que simplemente "comida de pub", comimos el cordero Henry y la fuente de pescado seguido de un excelente pan ligero y budín de mantequilla, precio razonable.

This is a really excellent restaurant with great food, peaceful atmosphere and friendly service. We dined here two nights in a row we enjoyed it so much!

Came here while meeting with friends for lunch, as it was halfway between us and was very glad with my choice! They were able to accommodate our friend's dog in part of the pub which had been another deciding factor. The service from the start was very friendly and engaging. The Sunday menu was good value with two courses for £21 or three for £26. The best thing though was the amount of items on the menu that were either gluten free or could me adapted which gave me a lot of options.

This is a very friendly pub with excellent food. Good menu with something I am sure to Please There were 8 of us so had various dishes from their menu Had steak but must admit I could have chosen various dishes Never had a bad meal there and will be back again for sure

Why wife and i booked here going by the reviews we read and we were not let down.

Chosen as central location for meeting family to celebrate my birthday. It was perfect ...friendly,wonderful food cooked to perfection and great service.

This was recommended and we weren't disappointed. I had the venison sausages which came with a rich gravy whilst my wife had the fish and chips and they were great.

Having had a week’s holiday with family, I was delighted to visit the Ferry again and be reminded of the great contemporary setting, quality food and great service. We will be back

Would never have known about this place, but came across it while out for a run one day and decided to try it for lunch with colleagues. It was really busy which was always a good sign. The lunch menu was reasonably priced, and the food was delicious. The guy who took our order seemed to be doing multiple roles and running about all over the place but still found time to explain about some of the dishes on the menu and crack a few jokes. He's a credit to the pub. Really glad I found it, it's a lovely little place. Just needs to be advertised a bit better.

Great meal and brilliant service. We turned up at the last minute without booking on a Sunday afternoon. We were made very welcome and given a lovely table. I was able to have a starter size portion of salmon and crayfish salad off the main meal menu and then a delicious salmon in lemon butter. Lots of fresh vegetables and all for a bargain 2 courses for £20. Great place to relax and enjoy excellent food

We recently visited this pub that claims to provide ‘fine dining’ it is anything but fine dining with terrible service. Worst service I have received in a long time. The French onion soup was awful and tasteless. The salmon was smothered in butter but most importantly the service was the worst. We were not made welcome when we arrived, we were not asked if we would like more drinks (we had to go to the bar) and then as we waited ages for the dessert menu we didn’t want desserts. We were told that as it is a two course menu they might be able to do something for us! Just awful.

Very nice pub, good beer, good service, nice people, set in a quiet and green location, off the beaten track.

It's worth travelling slightly out of Stratford in order to experience the food. It's absolutely amazing and highly recommended. The service is great and the atmosphere relaxed. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for here and it's not a typical 'pub' menu - it's been thoughtfully put together and the chef obviously knows his trade! Delicious... different. I never usually eat pudding but I waddled out very happy at the end of the evening...

Great ambience, fantastic food. Perhaps on the expensive side for a village pub but worth the money.

Great food, friendly service, welcoming to dogs and reasonably priced. Very interesting menu and lovely ambiance.

Pop in first a beer and stayed for dinner while staying locally for a long weekend, so good came back the next night great food an warm welcome thanks

me and my family cycled to this pub one evening, we sat outside in the lovely sun and ordered some food which arrived very quickly. inside is a lovely atmosphere and the food is absolutely incredible, lovely quiet location too!

We dined here with friends on a Saturday evening and we all found the food delicious! Lamb Henry needs a special mention, as does the lemon curd bread and butter pudding and creme brulee! Staff went out of their way to be really welcoming too. A thoroughly enjoyable evening in a beautiful Warwickshire village.

Thankyou to Martin and his staff An excellent Sunday lunch for an 84th Birthday Party. Lovely menu with a great choice. The food at the Ferry cannot be beaten.Fuxed price for either 2 or 3 courses Have already booked for my Birthday in August 10/10

Return visit after 2 years and dont understand why this place isn't full every night. Lamb Henry is amazing.

Reservamos en el último minuto y los muchachos somos muy serviciales dado que nuestros números cambiaron (incluso hasta el último minuto).

He comido en bastantes lugares dentro y alrededor de Stratford upon Avon y el Ferry siempre será un firme favorito.

Eaten here twice. Good food , good service . Nice surroundings parking is on the streets around the pub but it’s usual to find some space. .

We visited the ferry today with friends for lunch, we sampled the value menu which was very nice, and will definitely be back to try the real menu. Nice food and friendly staff.

Nice village pub in a quiet location. We had the 2 course lunch special offer which was good value if a little basic. The main menu looked good and I'm sure we'll try it in the future. There were a couple of good real ales which is something we always look for. There was also a nice outdoor area for when the weather improves.

Clean pub just outside of Stratford with what looked to be, a nice menu offering good food. Fab and friendly service from who I presume was the owner, really nice local feel and worth a pint if in the area. Near by to the river, worth the 3 minute walk for a look.

My original review was blocked and I was asked to re-write it due to objections by...…..?

I'm going to be honest and also hope that we visited The Ferry Inn on an off night -

Great food once again. Wife had slow cooked Lamb Henry first time, made dam sure I had it this time.....A MAY ZING. Waitress put plate down and slow cooked lamb just fell of the bone.....perfect. Every bite a savoured pleasure. Well done guys.

Great little pub with bags of atmosphere. Food is good but perhaps a little pricey for the quality. Worth a try

We visit this pub often and decided to get the fish and chips takeaway tonight. Enjoyed a bottle of wine while we waited as you do! Food was great. Huge fish portions and chips were much better than others in nearby pubs. Can highly recommend. Thanks.

Very friendly atmosphere and amazing food. The chef came out and chatted to us about how he prepared the food which was very interesting and super friendly.

We visited The Ferry on a weekday lunchtime. It's a few miles outside Stratford upon Avon and is a lovely pub inside and out. The food was delicious, we had a steak and mushroom pie and a fish board, and there were two well kept real ales. The only downside is that there is no car park so you have to park on the street, but there was plenty of room to do so when we visited - well worth a visit.

Picked as a midway family meeting point, some from London some from Staffordshire.

I would second the review about the chocolate torte, but the whole meal and the atmosphere were fantastic, lovely fire, good beer...

Popped in on a Friday night on the off chance they might have a table.

Take the time out and visit The Ferry its about 4 miles outside Stratford in a small english village and is well worth the journey. BUT please book so you can ensure a table as it does get busy and to get there and be disappointed is a crime. As for the food as with all good restaurants it can take up to 30 minutes before you get your food as it all cooked fresh with local ingredients. On our visit they had 2 real ales kept to a high standard and a various selection of wines to go with the meal or to sip by the wood fire. One word of advise check out the specials board for deserts because after a starter and main we could not manage a desert and felt we had missed out. Check on line for the menu and I'm sure you will find something to take your fancy.

We came here for lunch with family, having made a reservation as tables are limited and we didn’t want to miss out.

The Ferry is a lovely little pub and there are always other people there. We were offered the daily specials, one of which was a chicken and wild mushroom pie. My friend enquired as to whether this was a 'proper' pie or a casserole with a pastry lid plonked on before serving? The answer was that it was a proper pie because, although it only had a pastry top this was applied before cooking so pie and lid were cooked together. It was also shortcrust rather than the ubiquitous puff pastry! We decided to have the pie and were not at all disappointed, the filling was beautiful, really tasty, and the pastry lid crisp and brown. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Wanted to meet friends somewhere between Lincolnshire & Somerset and the pin fell here. What a find ! Lovely location , welcoming hosts, and amazing food. Personal service throughout and no hurry for us to leave the table. (Wonderful new Brandy as well and the Lamb Henry was to die for.!!!)/ Almost want to keep it to ourselves as it was so good !!!

Spur of the moment decision to go to The Ferry

We have visited the ferry 4 times in the last two months , every time it has been first class , wonderful food and service we can’t recommend this establishment enough. A little hidden gem.

My pal found The Ferry on a Google search. Both of us were delighted at the quality of the food, the warmth of the welcome, the reasonable prices and the ease of parking. We’d definitely recommend The Ferry. We’ll be back, for certain,
