Amazing times at the ferry Inn (Nottingham) Fantastic food, great selection of specials to choose. Thanks to Dom and staff for a great time spent with family and great recommendations for food and drink. Worth a return visit.
Nice little pub with classic pub food and beverages and dog friendly (dogs allowed in bar area). Food menu includes classic pub dishes - quality of meats however is at best mediocre. Friendly attentive service and nice atmosphere makes up for what food is lacking. Drinks and service was fast despite sitting in bar area.
As someone who doesn’t typically frequent pubs or enjoy pub food, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The food was comforting and delicious, and the pub itself is absolutely stunning. We were first seated outside, which was lovely, but as the evening got chilly, they kindly moved us indoors, and both spaces were equally charming. Some of the plates weren’t very nicely served though, especially the shrimp and fries dish so definitely room for improvement on that. The pub is dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of seating, both indoors and out, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable experience overall.
This was final visit. Although the pub has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are friendly, we were not happy again today. A side dish of chips was added to our meal without us asking for it and without it being pointed out to us. This made for a very expensive meal when the quality was not matching. A few frozen chips cost us an extra £7. Had I realised that they were not part of the meal at the time I would have asked for them to be removed from my plate. Very unscrupulous behaviour.
We came on a Saturday evening for dinner. You order at the bar so it is more relaxed dining. Our food was fine but I probably wouldn’t eat here again. It was a bit hit and miss, some dishes were very nice and some weren’t. They play loud, and in my opinion, un tasteful music which we weren’t a fan of. A big plus is that it was dog friendly and dogs are allowed inside too. The service was fine and the staff seemed polite! I would only come back for a drink, not to eat.
