The Ferry Inn in Pembrokeshire

Another fantastic evening at The Ferry Inn , superb food and fantastic service with a great atmosphere , and so dog friendly

Food is excellent we had seabass and sea beam both very good. Blueberry frangipani and ice cream to be recommended

Sunday lunch with family. Good food & beer. Dog friendly with great staff.

This place is such a great find! From the street you have no idea what you are walking in too! It is a big place with lots of different spaces, including a really lovely outdoor area overlooking the river, which we enjoyed for a long time despite it being October! The staff were very friendly & welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We ate dinner here & the menu was really varied. The gluten free options were great & clearly labelled, and as a coeliac it was very reassuring chatting to the staff about what was safe. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon/evening, we will definitely be back!

We visited last night and enjoyed the whole experience. The food ( sea bream & the chicken&chorizo tagliatelle) was superb. That followed the chickpea and tahini pate starter which we shared, the flavours were amazing and the cider chutney will be on our shopping list. We finished the meal with the blueberry frangipan with cream...wow! The evening was made all the better by the professionalism and personality of our waitress(unfortunately we didnt get her name) . We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends. Thank you to the team.

In the area on holiday,walking dog on beach and decided to eat before going back to bungalow. Quick search revealed the FERRY INN . Very polite staff who were more than happy to accommodate us as walk ins with a very damp dog . Well what can I say food was fantastic , seafood platter as a sharer and Welsh steak for me . Got to say the food was great but the peppercorn sauce was perfection itself . Great views as well.

There is nothing I can say to improve on our experience of dining at this excellent establishment! The location is stunning, right on the River Teifi. Out of season, it's possible to park in the road even if the tiny car park is full. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food that we had was delicious - sea bass & sticky toffee pudding for my friend, rump Welsh Black steak & blueberry frangipane tart for me. The Malbec was served at the perfect temperature. I was treated by my friend, so I don't know the bill total, but she didn't faint! Whatever it cost, it was well worth every penny - thank you, chef!

Beautiful spot with great views over the water. Good was delicious

Great experience, the staff were lovely and really looked after us. There was a massive table next to us which could have tied them up but the staff made sure we were really looked after, food was great. Would definitely come again.

Fantastic place , really friendly with gorgeous estuary view. Have been 3 times in one week. Good food , great atmosphere , friendly staff & really welcoming to dogs.

Great food, friendly staff & a lovely atmosphere. A dog friendly place for a drink or a meal. Lovely view over the estuary.

Nice little pub, with lovely food and lovely views over the estuary. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is no car park at the pub, but there is parking on the road outside.

Lovely setting, wide choice of food, which was fantastic, young waitress who served us was excellent, highly recommended!

Excellent food excellent service - location exceptional and fantastic value. So good in fact we are back for the second time in a week!

Excellent Food,Service and Very Pleasant Staff,Don't miss it!!

Wonderful location, excellent food - BIG portions!! And fantastic service. What more could you ask for? We loved the fact it was dog friendly and the views were stunning - we will be back! Thank you

Wonderful location, excellent food - BIG portions!! And fantastic service. What more could you ask for? We loved the fact it was dog friendly and the views were stunning - we will be back! Thank you

Recently stayed for one week in St Dogmaels and ate at the Ferry Inn twice. Each time the food was tasty and plentiful. The service was friendly and efficient and the table we chose was perfect for views of the river. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. The sea bass was wonderful, so too the seafood tagliatelle.

Nice setting right by the river, & good food & staff too.

An outstanding meal, served by really friendly staff in a superb location. Six of us went for supper after a hard day’s visit to Cardigan, & were made to feel most welcome. BTW, the sea bass was excellent!

Great food and excellent service. We were staying in a local B&B and listed in the recommendations list to eat out is The Ferry Inn. We checked out the menu and booked to eat @6.30pm. We managed to park in the restaurants car park and on entering, we were greeted with a warm welcome and introduced to our server for the evening, Georgia. Drinks were ordered and we were given plenty time to make our choices. Skipping starters after seeing the dessert menu, we plumped for a steak for my wife and the Seafood Tagliatelle for me. Both dishes cooked from fresh, it’s so obvious with the quality of the ingredients used. The Blueberry Frangipane to follow is a must. With great food you need great service to match and that we certainly had, Georgina was busy with a full room, but never flustered, always smiling, giving us time and space to enjoy our meal, never rushed. A lovely evening, Thankyou

Gorgeous food and view. Parking is difficult, though. The staff were lovely.

Great place for a pint, good beer, good service and food looked lush

Went here twice for dinner both times great food. Lovely steak, sea bass and tagliatelle. Went crazy the 2nd time and has the chocolate brownie

Nice food, great view friendly service

Great location looking over the estuary, with good food and excellent service. There is limited parking, so plan ahead. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

We loved this place, staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and very approachable. Food was hot, delicious and plentiful, service was prompt and friendly. Altogether a pleasant experience. Thank you!

Lovely place with fantastic food. We had a large group with children, and they loved the view of the river. The staff were attentive and efficient. The portions were massive, but all the food was really good quality. I would highly recommend.

Lovely little place. We had dinner here and Sunday lunch the next day! Great food and drink! Great hosts and service! I would 💯 recommend!

Came for Sunday lunch. One pork roast, which I thought would come with pork slices but actually was two pork steaks, which where a little too dry but nicely seasoned. One beef roast which looked lovely. Again beef was slightly over done but again nicely seasoned, no proper roast potatoes more roasted new potatoes which where slightly hard. Veg was cooked beautifully and Yorkshire was lovely. Fish basket was a good portion size and very tasty, childrens portion of fish fingers and chips was a hearty portion and good value. Highly recommend the chocolate brownie and ice cream gor pudding. Staff are super friendly and polite. Has wonderful views.

Food fantastic 10 out 10 Views amazing can't wait to come back

Chosen by a friend, excellent food, service and atmosphere, well worth the money

Lovely place to eat....Good food, great views and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Pricey for what you get. Frozen fries are overcooked. Lovely staff though and a very nice view of the estuary.

Beautiful place to dine in Wish there was more vegetarian options but overall the vegetarian option was great and we enjoyed our meal

Lovely view over the river. Friendly staff and great food.

Ate here this evening - never had a risotto made with long grain rice not arborio (risotto) rice before. Not sure how they got that so spectacularly wrong! Seafood in my partner's Seafood Tagliatelle was from the freezer, not fresh. We booked to eat because we'd heard the Manager describing it as a 'gastro pub' when we called in earlier in the week for a drink. It's absolutely not. Service was slow but the staff were very pleasant.

Really appreciated the trouble staff went to to accommodate my disabled mum. Great meal and great service. Thanks to all

What a find on our last night down in Cardigan. Lovely Gastro Pub with really pleasant staff. Mum and Daughter were really lovely and made it a nice atmosphere. I had the steak and it was perfect. We also had the seafood tagliatelle and french burgers also very nice. If you’re down here I would definitely recommend it.

Nice little pub, views overlooking the estuary, windows however desperate for a clean, food was ok but over priced imo, service was good.

What a wonderful little big find. This blue gem really is the pub version of the Tardis! It is a great place with good views, lovely decor, friendly staff and scrumptious food. We had the Sunday Lunch and we were stuffed with happy bellies by the end of it. Our dog Lottie enjoyed what we couldn’t and she was suitably fussed by the staff too.

Excellent service; great with children. Varied selection of food that catered for vegan, gluten free etc. Fantastic view of the river

Very good roast chicken lunch Vanilla ice cream didn’t have any flavour, told young waitress, no feed back from anyone in charge. We sat outside but had to chase for service

We booked a table in this wonderful pub - it looks tiny from the outside but opens out into this beautiful restaurant. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. A good selection of meals and drinks available and the service was quick and friendly. We had the tagliatelle; two seafood and two chicken and chorizo. They were absolutely awesome. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely book to eat here again.

Honeslty stopped here for a meal after a busy day out not really knowing what to expect as we don't know the area. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!! The food was exceptional, to be honest it's the best meal I've had in a long time and I feel like I've robbed them for what they charge. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection, there chef has the most essential skill in the industry to be able to cook with love! I had the seafood feast which was mouthwatering tasty and cooked to perfection. My partner had the scampi and absolutely loved it and couldn't believe the portion size. Our kids both had a kids burger and my god as my littlest one couldn't finish it all, I tried a bit and as far as burgers go it's the best thing I've ever tasted the only way you could get fresher is if you handled the cow your self! The waiting staff are a credit to the industry, not a single one of them looked out of place or like they didn't want to be there or were just there for a pay check. They were all smiles, pleasant and very erlcoming. There a credit to the business. The owner was welcoming and seemed like she genuinely cared about her guests, she was a lovely women and I wish and hope all the best for her in the future as I myself know how cut throat this industry can be! If we're ever in the area again we will defiently be returning, honestly can't recommend enough! Thank you all for an amazing experience

Looking at their menu, you can tell it's a more pricey restaurant. The wife and I only wanted fish and chips - but they don't do this. They do however do (unbattered) fish with about six other items, but while I'm sure many others would be willing to pay the price, we weren't. The staff there are very friendly and helpful, and suggested we had a kids meal, which was Cod Coujons with Chips and a choice of Salad, Beans, or Peas. This was a very big kids meal, was very reasonably priced - and delicious. I'm sure all the food is as nice. There's a lovely view of St Dogmaels, and the restaurant inside is lovely.

I very rarely write poor reviews but this needs to be said. We went for lunch today after a local friend recommended for us to visit. My husband ordered a burger and found a slug (alive) under the bread!!! We told the staff who told us it was potentially from the locally sourced salad!! I did mention that if that had been the case the salad clearly hadn’t been washed which was a huge concern considering I’d ordered the chicken salad & I’m pregnant!! Disappointed to say the least! The staff were very understanding and pleasant about the situation. As we did leave one of the female chefs had long ponytail hair I was surprised wasn’t in a hairnet for hygiene purposes! Such a shame because it’s in a lovely location!

Excellent food as always. Great service from a lovely team of staff in a beautiful location.

Terrific service terrific food what's not to like . Our 4 starters and a seafood basket served colourfully sand hot . Wonderful. Thankyou

We had the loveliest meal here, the staff went above and beyond to make my partners 30th birthday meal really special. Would definitely recommend!

Very friendly service, the food was good and arrived quickly. A good pint, a good burger and nice views across the river too.

Lovely pub with a great menu and great service. Definitely book. It's in a wonderful location as well

Absolutely wonderful place to eat, the staff are so friendly, the food is great and very well priced, the location is simply awesome.

We had a wonderful view of the river from our table. The menu was not extensive. Five of us wanted the chicken and liver pate - sadly we were told that only three portions were available. Just as some of us had made a different choice we were told that, in fact, there were only two portions of the chicken and liver pate left. This seemed to cause a certain amount of hilarity among the people who were giving us the information. The next best choice was a chick pea pate. I have always understood that a pate is smooth but the chick peas came more or less whole. The appley chutney that came with it was very nice and there was a bit of salad. As I was coming to the end of my starter, eating the last bits of my salad I realised that there was a live worm on my plate! Luckily I am not of a particularly squeamish nature - however, that worm should not have been there. Some of my friends promptly left what they had of their starters as they has no wish to find another live creature. When our waiter arrived I pointed out that there was a live worm on my plate - there was an apology but no plate removal at that point. She did say that the salad had been washed 4 times, not washed enough in my opinion. When she came back to take my plate we asked if she had reported the worm and she said she had. I was also told that the salad was 'local' [so obviously the worm had not had too far to travel and was probably in good health - for a worm!] and it was 'organic'. I did not feel that any of these bits of information were pertinent. No-one from any sort of management came to see me to apologise. When the sweet menu arrived we were informed that, yet again, there were some sweets that were 'unavailable'. When the bill arrived my wormy starter was there in full priced glory. Only after some protest was the offending starter removed from the bill. My group was told that the young waiter had to make the decision on her own as there was no-one on duty from the management. The following day I wrote to the owners of the restaurant - names found on the internet. I explained what had happened, I gave my name, address and email and I have given the owners over a week to reply to my complaint but I have heard nothing. I am not impressed. This whole evening has left a very sad impression of The Ferry Inn. It is a place where I have eaten on a number of occasions but I will do so no longer. A shame as it is local to me [but I suspect the worm was more local]. The owners obviously are not too bothered by my letter - perhaps they feel I am making a lot of fuss about nothing. However, when I pay almost £8 for a starter to a meal I would like the chance to eat what I choose and not to have extra bits of protein wriggling about on my plate, despite how local and organic they may be.

This is a fabulous place. Location is amazing, over looking the estuary. As it was a nice day we sat outside. Great menu, something for everyone, including vegetarians. Service is prompt and professional. We ordered a meat and veggie Sunday lunch which was cooked and presented to a very high standard. My son couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the Kale was cooked! Plus the beef! Hubbie had the seafood basket which was delicious. Deserts didn’t disappoint, the dark chocolate torte was sublime. We will definitely return. Exceptionally dog friendly!

On our short break to Cardigan this pub was recommended by our hosts as it is dog friendly. We went there on our first evening and it was so good we went there on our third evening too. The food was delicious, service great, staff welcoming and helpful.

We loved this place. Food was great as was the service, and such a lovely setting too, our dog loved lounging outside in the sun with views of the estuary as we thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks.

The kids food was shocking, the chicken goujons were overcooked, the kids burger had a very weird texture. We had the seafood basket, when paying £23 a dish I expect better than oven chips. The nail in the coffin was when presented with the bill. Two adults meals and two children's meals three Pepsi's and two lagers came to £86 which I think is ridiculous. They charged £6.80 for a pint of Morreti which is extortionate will definitely not be going back

A cosy, friendly pub with amazing views of the river from the dining areas. We couldn't have been looked after better by Ella, Carly and the other team members. We had a delicious meal at the best table in the house. Thank you.

Did not eat, popped in while crab fishing with grandkids. Excellent service with a smile, good real ale and excellent variety of seating. Dog welcoming with great outdoor space. Feels friendly.

What a lovely place to eat!! The food was outstanding... if you love pate I recommend the chicken pate starter. It was out of this world. The seafood basket was gorgeous and the burgers were phenomenonal. Service was fabulous and we loved the view from the window downstairs. If I had to be really picky then I'd have preferred homemade chips rather than the fries that were served as mine were over cooked and too crispy but other than that I would definitely come back when we visit. Thank you.

Amazing food,friendly staff,and reasonable prices, great views, this place ticks all the boxes and more...I only wish it was my local.

Two pints of larger ( birra morretti) and a single whisky ( famous grouse). £18 ! Didn't stay for food.

I can not recommend here enough. The food is amazing, the service is lovely, the restaurant and location is beautiful. The sea food basket is so fresh and flavourful, it’s my favourite dish on the menu.

Great service and produce, food is amazing and views to die for! If you're a birder this is the place to grab some food and check out the river at low tide lots of geese and waders and gulls

Only stayed for a quick beer on two occasions, very quirky pub but very expensive food and drink!If your disabled or not very mobile you will find it difficult when your there!

This is potentially the greatest restaurant ever established - the waiting staff are masters of their art, and the chefs are also alright. Nice view outside, dogs only allowed in the smoking area. Sun went down around 10pm which was a real shame, that’s my only complaint. Accessible only by charming dangerous one lane road, really made the food taste great knowing you’d barely survived the journey. Bon appetite! All the best.

Mae'r bwyd yn flasus iawn! We came here a few years ago and were impressed with the quality of the food. Returning to West Wales for a holiday, we came back and were delighted to find the experience was the same.

Perfect in every way, from the location, staff and the quality of the food.

Really nice pub/restaurant with great views over the river. Had the seafood basket which was really good. Good staff.

Lovely little restaurant right on the river with delicious freshly made food. Plenty of gluten free options as well.

Very comfortable olde worlde pub on the riverside. Excellent good and drink. Friendly and helpful staff. Worth a visit 👍

Great food and service! Lovely views of the river.

I am afraid this was the worst roast pork lunch I have ever had! The meal was swimming in gravy over the soft soggy vegetables & not sure the meat was sliced from a joint of pork and it wasn’t cheap!

Good food, good atmosphere and allow well behaved dogs.

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and the beef roast was fabulous!! Will definitely return!

We had a really lovely meal here. Beautiful setting, delicious food and the staff were all really helpful and friendly.

Lovely spot, lovely food, lovely staff.

Took a chance on getting a meal on a Friday evening and arrived as the place began serving food. Few people there but.. It was early, all tables had reserved signs on them except a small few. We were placed on a table that had only a window to separate us from the estuary but have a stunning view of that scene. Food and drinks ordered to a pleasant staff member and drinks were very quickly brought by another lovely staff member. Food cooking have is enough time to have a closer look at the scene. Food then arrived, nicely presented and full of flavour and hot... Just as it should be. Felt indulgent today so took a dessert. Lovely food but over £70 for main course, dessert and a drink for two people was a bit steep in my view. Then came a challenge.. toilets! Toilets were clean and fresh but found down a few sets of steps and quite obscure.. Not easy or possible for some less mobile. Food choices were sufficient and there are choices for vegetarians. Parking in an old fishing village is not good.. There are the spaces in a private carpark for patrons otherwise you battle with local residents. A week worthwhile visit and one I am glad I made.

A delightful riverside pub. Nice food. Sitting downstairs near the decking area with wonderful views of the river. You can even visit by boat.

A wonderful place to eat and drink, a very welcoming and friendly place.

Just popped in for a drink , lovely place ,it's looks quite small from the outside but inside it's spacious, with beautiful views of the teifi river.

This beautiful pub has changed a huge amount. Last time I visited, it was quiet and empty and quiet. I popped in recently after hearing it had been renovated. It is now very busy with a wonderful atmosphere, good food, great beer and of course the same beautiful view.

Misses wanted to try this place it's right on the river with a view over it and we were right at the window the food was really nice she had Sunday dinner which looked lovely dessert was also lovely,we will be going again to try the week menu.

Parking difficult and narrow roads

Beautiful spot to watch the sun set whilst having a romantic dinner. Great fresh food and staff really attentive. Best fish I’ve had, supper fresh from the local area

Great food, great service and super views.

Views over the water from the dining area are stunning, great location. Food was good, if a little unadventurous. Service was slightly impersonal but fine. The Ferry inn was open on Easter bank holiday and we were very grateful to find lunch here. Parking limited but spaces are available with a short walk. Overall the Ferry Inn is lovely but has a slight air of unfulfilled potential. It could be really great.

Visited whilst on holiday. Great food and very friendly staff. They gave us a great table out of the way for our dog too. We had a lovely time.

Didn't eat here they were very busy as it was Easter week..lovely pub with friendly staff..enjoyed a couple of drinks..book at table in advance or you could be disappointed ☹️

The Beef was absolutely delicious. This was the nicest Roast Dinner we’ve had in a long time. Staff were really nice, great service too. Lovely setting, with a beautiful view. Fantastic with our dog ❤️

peroni lager very expensive £7.00 a pint.menu limited.no fish nchips or a meat pie option.i had rump steak and i could not cut it with a steak knife.i explained it was full of sinew and the manager seemed to think i didnt know what i was talking about.if you sit in the bar area in the daytime it is like sitting in the managers office cause they do all their bussines in their.basically they have a captive customer net if you stay localy in a holiday accomodation in st.dogmaels

Lovely fisherman's pub, very good food staff were friendly and helpful. Went today, and as previously, food service and staff were excellent, but I can't fault them. I would give today's efforts ten out of ten. Thanks to all.

Had a very nice Sunday lunch here today with exceptional service from Ella! The belly pork was phenomenal, I would definitely recommend it. Brownie was one of the nicest ones I've had. The drinks were also lovely, and they met any requests we had which were never made out to be a fuss during what was quite a busy service - including having my chair swapped out as it was a bit uncomfortable for me. The only very small thing I would say was a negative was that there was lots of beetroot (which I hate) on the roast which was unusual and it went all over the food due to the nature of it, however now that know I know that, I will ask for it without next time! We will definitely be back and will be excited to try what they do on their Monday-Sat menu.

Great food and service from friendly staff. Will go again for this lovely water side dining

We enjoyed a stunning view of the river as we enjoyed lunch here today! The pork belly and chicken dishes were cooked to perfection. The staff were professional, helpful and polite.

We fancied going out for dinner on the last night of our great stay in St Dogmaels. The Ferry Inn had been recommended to us. We rang to book at short notice late on a Saturday afternoon and got a lovely welcome, reassurance about gluten free, come right along. The place is lovely inside, with a light airy boat house vibe. Such friendly people serving, interesting menu that's great for GF, vegan but also some good meat and fish options. Our GF burger and ricotta and spinach pasta were excellent. Fruit cheesecake dessert was delicate and refreshing, but the surprise of the evening was the GF sticky toffee pudding - prior to being diagnosed as a coeliac it had been my partner's absolute favourite pud, so really pleasing to find a GF version for him here. Lovely experience, we were well looked after. We'll be back.

Had a lovely meal. Food was excellent quality and service was brilliant, I need to visit again in the daytime so I can enjoy the river views.

Lovely supper, friendly staff, great vibes inside - like the interior of an old ship! And very dog friendly.

Great place to eat. Nice tables overlooking the river. The service was excellent by friendly waitress (aka the lady owner’s daughter, hello 👋😄👌). The menu was great and the food well cooked and served. Very enjoyable meal at the ferry inn. I recommend 😁
