    Very enjoyable because we went early. Most tables were away from the windows so a bit dark

    Stopped here on our way to the airport. The Sunday roast was very good and the staff very efficient even though it was busy with a couple of big groups which included children so the noise level was quite high. It will be a place we will certainly visit again.

    We were meeting up with a family friend whom we hadn’t had contact with for 18 months. It was perfect. Nice and quiet ambience. Not too busy. The staff were excellent. Especially the boss, James (???) - so good in fact that I offered to buy him a drink, but he said no, he’s rather have an honest review. So here it is. The Ferry is forever changing management staff - sometimes for the better, sometimes badly. This time I feel they have found a decent bunch of guys. All helpful and polite, chatty and humorous. Well done. Long May it last !

    Excellent pre-Christmas meal with family - booked at the last minute and turned out to be a very good decision. The service was excellent and the food was very good indeed. We will be back in the New Year!

    Experience was lovely till I discovered that my friend and I who are both pregnant had been given an alcoholic gin as opposed to the non alcoholic one that we ordered. We only discovered this once we had drank the drinks and received the bill- we didn’t receive an apology- we just had the drinks knocked off the bill.

    Having visited twice in October when visiting relatives we were really looking forward to another great evening however we were all extremely disappointed. Service is really poor and staff seemed to be doing us a favour to actually even serve us. All the guests were seated in the same area virtually on top of each other in one small section. Food was really disappointing. Brie starter was just one small triangle with a teaspoon of chutney, not even a sprig of garnish. Fish with fish and chips wasn’t cooked properly and was undercooked as were the chips accompanying it. All meals were disappointing. A Friday evening in June and the place was virtually empty which should have made us think twice then!!!!! Won’t be returning again and certainly wouldn’t recommend it.

    I cannot understand why a diner on an outside table has to order at the bar. This is cumbersome and increase the liability of an error in trying to remember the choices of follow diners. If staff can serve food outside , why not take orders outside as well. Similarly with payment. This would also ensure a tip!
