Absolutely love this pubs atmosphere and location however the food today and previously hasn't been good, was told a 45min wait but eventually after almost 2 and a half hours we received our food, as you can see from the photos it was burnt and deep-fried, I've rarely come across deep fried roast potatoes 🙈 absolutely shocking. Owner came to apologise and admitted they took on too many orders however they were still taking even more orders. Should of been offered a full refund and what they did eventually serve up should of been free! Shameful of them to serve it especially after a 2 ans a half hour wait!!! I Would high recommend for a drinking hole by the river but avoid the food its not worth the waiting time, extremely bland and unappertising, overcooked burnt, soggy veg and rushed.

Travelled here to sample the food and enjoy sitting by the broads. The ferry house is very much a traditional pub. I had a steak and ale Yorkshire pudding with vegetables. It was bigger than I expected and very tasty. The view of boats and river was just lovely to enjoy the food and even a nice filter coffee. Staff were very friendly. There were plenty of outside seating and also inside. It was fairly quiet when I visited. I will certainly return

A delightful old local pub by the river, it was a lovely day so we had our lunch outside, very generous portions and despite it being very busy food was only about 20minutes, friendly and helpful staff and a lovely landlady we spoke too was telling us she's been there 15 years, a very pleasant lunch
