Our family of 8 (6 adults and 2 children) really enjoyed our meals here. There was a variety of dishes on offer including some great pies and plenty for the vegetarians. Friendly staff. We’ll definitely be back.

A lovely place with a very friendly atmosphere, the staff are so polite and the food is very tasty (albeit) too much and I had to leave some (my own bad) can’t fault it any way. All the best to you all xx

The food was top-notch well done, Lis. The staff are super friendly, and everyone who frequents the cafe/pub can only praise the food served, which I can attest to. Well done all highly recommended.

We rang ,and was told, no need to book. 4 adults, 2children and a puppy. We were allowed to sit inside, it was our choice to sit in a secluded area. We all enjoyed our meal though one did say, one small slice of bread with their all day breakfast looked a little mean. One chocolate brownie pudding was more than ample ( we could have done with 3 spoons) overall an enjoyable meal. Thank you

Lovely Sunday lunch for 11 of us and a new baby. Food was tasty and good value for money. Between us we had roast lamb, roast chicken, vegetarian sausages and fish and chips. All good. Puds we had were crumble and custard and chocolate brownie with raspberry ice cream. Hubby said the brownie was the best he’d ever had! Very nice friendly waitresses Jen and Cerys. We would recommend anyone to go for a meal as thoroughly enjoyed it all.

The Ferryboat Inn is a dog friendly pub/restaurant/cafe close to the river Trent, it’s a little out of the way but definitely worth the effort to get there, I went there with my wife, daughter and grandchildren from the moment we got there the staff were extremely attentive and there for every request we made, the coffee was actually hot and made fresh, the chef has created a good choice of starters, mains and deserts, evens a child’s menu , our meals looked and tasted amazing with good sized portions and very competitively priced, my family and I will definitely be returning at some point in the future

Stopped for a sunday lunch after an event in Newark, the food was fantastic (as always) and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. This pub is a hidden gem that you should keep secret because I want to be able to visit again. The small car park across the road is a bit lethal after rain though.

We felt guilty for leaving food but we were so full. Anyone with a massive appetite will definitely be rewarded by a visit. We will definitely be returning soon 😁

Had heard that the Fish Chowder was excellent here, so rang and asked if it was still on the Specials board. It wasn't but the chef said he would do it for us anyway, which we thought was really accomodating. Needless to say it was well worth the trip out. The Chowder was extremely tasty, consisting of mussels, prawns, scallops and halibut (I think). The sauce was delicious and the crusty bread to mop it up was really fresh. Hubby was impressed and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the vegan pie, which was also extremely tasty, with handcut chips. Thank you for a wonderful meal. We will definitely be back, and can thoroughly recommend the Ferryboat Inn.

This is the second time I've visited the Ferryboat recently and it has been lovely both times! And i wish i had taken pics. Last time we had steaks, which were cooked to perfection, with home made chips and all the trimmings. This time I had the wild mushroom linguini which was delicious! Both times the staff were attentive and welcoming, we barely waited any time for our food and it arrived piping hot. So all in all fab! I highly recommend and shall being going back soon!

We stopped in here without booking on a Tuesday night. The main bar area was fairly busy but we got a table straight away. Nice old style local pub. Staff well presented and very happy to help. Food was beautiful. Simple menu but enough to choose from. Gammon was great. Pie was great. Homemade. Also really liked the cheesy garlic bread. Very nice experience and we will definitely be back.

£7.95 prawn and garlic starter , contained a bowl with 4 tiny prawns in. Sunday dinners were luke warm, portion was minute for £15pp. Veg was served in a dish with no cutlery swamped in brown water.. she picture attached. Roast potatoes were hard, gravy was oily. Very very poor, shall not be returning or recommending to anyone. Overpriced and poor quality food.

Great to see a real homemade Yorkshire pudding and fresh veggies on the plate. We were served by a very polite young lady who was very informative. Really enjoyed the real ales they had on the bar too. We will definitely return, in fact we’ve booked for next week!

What can , I say , I've just visited the ferryboat inn, and the food was beautiful went with two friends, had burgers ,pie , all was amazing and so we're the puddings But !! What I can't get over was the the friendliness, and kindness shown to meby Paris, who served us , as I stupidly nearly ran out of petrol, she rang her mum , and she brought some petrol as wouldn't have made it to the petrol station, her mum was so kind , and went out of her way to help, they oozed such warmth and kindness , which is not often found and I was quite overwhelmed, I really can't thank them enough, what a lovely lovely place , I had never been before , and will certainly go back , charming , village , and Paris and her mum run the cafe to the back . Thankyou, thankyou thankyou Best wishes, and wish there were more people in the world like this mum and daughter, Karen🥰
