A last minute booking for Sunday lunch and we could not have been made more welcome. Very friendly young staff greeted us (and our dog) and sat us down at our table. We both chose the venison loin which was superb, slightly pink and very...tasty, with fresh vegetables and a beautiful accompanying sauce. The atmosphere of this pub is cosy, traditional, no music, just the sounds of chatter, the occasional dog wandering by and one or two locals stopping by to chat and feed our dog a biscuit. Totally charming and excellent food. Well done to the owners and staff. Off the beaten track but absolutely worth a visit.More

We were expecting great things given the previous reviews, but we were quite disappointed. The food was generally good (the salt marsh lamb rump was particularly good, scallops let down but a very sickly sauce and overpowering pancetta, great terrine and well-filled steak pie). Wine...was very average but pricey for what it was. However, the ambience was awful - brightly lit, shabby dining area stuck seemingly as an afterthought at the back of a busy pub. As a couple, we were placed on a table for 6 (made of smaller tables pushed together, so could have been separated), less than a foot from the kitchen door. Not conducive to a romantic and relaxing meal, and certainly not what we expected for the prices. Service was fairly chaotic too - we were not greeted as again we would expect. As others have said, a warm welcome for locals, less so for visitors. I suspect it’s no. 1 in Oxney because there is literally nothing else - it’s in the middle of nowhere! It was a shame as we were on a much-anticipated weekend away after several months of working extremely hard and not seeing much of each other. Wouldn’t go back, nor recommend to others.More

Wow, what a meal we all have just had, as far we are concerned the food around the area, you certainly not wanting with the portion size and great value too. The setting was superb, would highly recommend. Mike Buckles, Woodchurch Kent

What a nice surprise when we stopped by the Ferry Inn and had an enjoyable lunch in the garden… so nice that we decided to book 2 days later for our last day in 🇬🇧 !

Came here for a nice pint after a long walk on a scorching hot day. Beautiful garden and friendly service. Pleasantly surprised with the price too! I can recommend the Oxney Ale. We'll definitely be back!

What an absolute gem of a pub. A must visit if passing even if it’s just a one of the well kept ales. It appears that people travel from the surrounding villages to eat and drink here which adds the lovely atmosphere. The waitress was...lovely, really looked after us and always had a smile on her face despite being very busy. Food - very good, fresh and good portions. One of the best meals we had put as family for a very long time. We left feeling very content with our experience.More

Four blokes on a walk around Appledore, beers and something to eat. Service, beer and food was good, really enjoyed the garden. Thanks!

Fantastic sun trap sitting out the front in the summer. We could have stayed there all evening but went inside for a delicious meal. Would have liked to stay longer but we had to rush off. Will definitely be back.

Second visit to the Ferry Inn. Again excellent food and service. A very welcoming atmosphere. Steak & Ale pie was outstanding as were the modules & frites. Well worth the trip from Bexhill.

We went to the Ferry Inn for lunch today, as the menu looked good on their website, and we were not disappointed! For starters my Wife had scallops, I had chicken pate, both dishes were great. Main course was lemon Sole and seafood for my...Wife, I had a rather delicious Ferry Inn prime steak & chorizo burger. Just enough space left for pud, Vegan meringues, & Triple chocolate brownie for me.. Amazing food in an amazing pub that's almost in the middle of nowhere! It was cool to meet Polly the dog as well.. Will we go back??? Oh yes indeed :-)More

Visited on an overcast Thursday afternoon. We had read some negative comments but the menu look great so decided to visit. We received a friendly welcome and sat on a nice corner table. I had lamb rump. It was tender. The pave potato was deliciously...buttery and he onions had a hint of balsamic. I had a panna cotta to finish. Very happy with the overall experience 😊More

Lamb was fantastic. But only commensurate with the price But then we came to dessert We were asked what we wanted and given menus But then told that we were too late for dessert!! We arrived at 8:10 What crappy serviceMore
