Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I have visited this great venue on many occasions, good food, great acts and up until last night normally friendly and helpful staff. The so called manager was disinterested, rude and clearly needs some training on how to make guests welcome and resolve problems. His...staff all looked miserable and also could benefit from some customer service training.More

Arrived at The Ferry at 6.30pm for the meal before the show. The place was freezing cold. We had to keep our coats on eating dinner. Moved downstairs after the meal and it was even colder. Would have been a good night if there was...some heat in the place.More

Another brilliant night was had by all for my granddaughters birthday. Mixed ages but we all had a great “Abba” experience. The staff are really courteous and helpful and their new menu was really good. I had home made soup and fish pie with crispy...pastry and mashed potatoes, delicious. Thanks to all the team.More

Went along to The Ferry, this evening for dinner and see a tribute act. Great value for money. The waiting staff were all pleasant, friendly and attentive. The timing of the food being served was spot on. All three courses were beautifully presented and were...absolutely delicious. The venue and toilets were very clean . Act was good too.

Went for a glam rock night, first time here and what we paid for the dinner and show deal was excellent value. For the price the menu was quite good with a nice variety, special mention for the fish pie, ridiculously tasty! Good variety of...drinks at the bar but avoid the overpriced cocktail jugs, seemed like just a jug filled to brim with ice with not a lot of drink! Live music was great and the 'support' band were every bit as good if not better than the main attraction. Great night out and thoroughly recommend a visit.More

Ive been here a few times and had dinner twice. The menu is not extensive but everything I’ve had was very good, including home made soup, chilli and rice and chicken, mashed potatoes with a creamy sauce. Good service and friendly staff make for a...great night out.More

Used to have a choice of 2 dishes for veggies. They had changed their menu literally the day we were booked in without informing attendees. Only one veggie choice which I couldn’t eat. I was told there are no other options for you and server...just walked away from the table. I eventually had to ask if I could have a couple of sides instead which they reluctantly agreed to and then added to the bill by mistake. Chips and garlic bread both of terrible quality. The staff are completely uninterested and customer service is zero. I would never go back. Waste of time and moneyMore

We went as 2 couples to a 70s/80s tribute band night and had a great time. We had been given voucher as a present and were pleasantly surprised by quality of the food and the drink prices seemed fair too considering the excellent live entertainment....Looking at The Ferry from outside it doesn't look much but inside its clean and well run. We would certainly visit again.More

Went to a gig here and was met by the most unfriendly doorman and front of house staff, the lady behind the desk made you feel so unwelcome. No cloakroom to leave your coat, not enough tables or chairs so ended up standing by the...stage holding my coat with nowhere to leave it. Some of the toilet cubicles' door locks didn't work. Really didn't enjoy the ferry, all-in-all a very disappointing night out, despite the live act being good.More

The ferry is a quirky venue, which may need a little T.L.C. BUT this is ofset by the fabulous atmosphere, staff and entertainment. The atmosphere was lively and everyone was having fun, young and old. The staff were helpful, cheery and kind. The warm up...act was superb. The main event had it all, balads, anthems and floor fillers, and the floor was full of revellers. Well done to allMore
