Four of us had lunch there yesterday.. fabulous food, fabulous service.. I didn’t want chips but asked for the homemade pepper sauce 🌟😇… it was divine! We’ll definitely go back

A great find.
Lovely food and great prices. Moored up alongside overnight.

Very nice pub if your on the Broads, spacious mooring and very good rates for overnight stay. Dinner was tasty and moorish, and also breakfast the big fried breakfast was amply to set you up for the day, highly recommend a try…

Beautiful place to stop and moor up, lovely scenery and some great local walks.
It was £8 to moor up over night unfortunately like other places you don't get that back if you eat at the pub which was a but disappointing.
However the food was nice.
There is also a litte shop around the back which sells lovely looking cakes and chocolates!

Lovely pub beside the river. Very friendly staff. Food was hot and of a good portion size. Plenty of tables in the garden, dog owners please remember to pick up dog mess as various areas against river wall, it had been left behind. Good size car park and a must is to visit shop attached to pub and sample their homemade chocolates. Would definetly return again.

Booked in on a pretty busy evening. Our burgers were delicious, ribs ok but would opt for something different next visit. It was the young staff on that night that made this place - one coming to the end of a 12 hour shift, still smiling & chatty & doing an excellent job - owners should be very proud of their hard working staff.
Shop at the back of the pub - wow, lovely fresh homemade bread, cakes, pastries, pies & fudge amongst other things. So good we sailed back a couple of days later just to get bread !! Looking forward to our return there. Absolutely recommend.

With its stunning #riverviews #choice of great rustic homely #food "The Ferry Inn" #stokesby #Norfolk is a great place to visit for that quiet quaint #Countrypub feel
A #meal or a #drink why not pop by sometime and #experience for yourself.

What a lovely dog friendly pub right on the side of the river. We went here while boating on th broads. Great food great beer and friendly and helpful staff.

Had a lovely lunch by the river. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Hot and big portions. Lovely restaurant inside. On site shop Selling cakes & chocolates & various bakery items. Would definitely return soon.

I’ve seen a couple of recent reviews and ‘TikTok’, ‘YouTube’, ‘Facebook’ videos mentioning this particular pub.

I visited here a week ago, moored up, plenty of space and no one in the pub.

The owners were outstanding, they were incredibly hard working people, the food was absolutely beautiful (we were here for dinner and for breakfast the following day).

I couldn’t eat my dessert or my breakfast, sadly I’d been feeling unwell. The owners and kitchen staff kindly put takeaway dishes together for me.

We were only one of two tables here for dinner - it was sad to see that a few had left an unbelievable mess behind. The staff were running themselves ragged attempting to clean up the mess left behind and serve us, so we mucked in!

I saw some comments about ‘a dog smell’. The owners have two of the most beautiful and well behaved old English sheep dogs who do not come down until the last customers have left - we specifically asked to meet them and give them a few treats.

As a family of two adults and four children (two of which were friends of my own children), this was an utterly easy, relaxing and wonderful experience for us.

We noted the waterfowl to the grounds and were pleased to hear that the ferry inn staff look out for them. They save food for them and check up on them on a daily basis.

They also have a little known chocolate haven and fresh produce shop to the back of the pub!

These guys are hard working, patient and wonderful people and they deserve your business.

It’s such a shame to find that social media posts can tarnish such a nice place with good people.

I think that the previous reviewee ‘Diane’ may have been one of the messy lot. 🤣

What a great little pub called in for lunch I had the chilli it was nice but it could have been a bit spicier, my husband had the black and blue burger and said it was beautiful. Lovely setting right on the river, The weather was a bit wild and windy but could imagine sitting outside there in the summer with a nice cold beer watching the boats.

Nice friendly place.
Had a meal there which was excellent.
Definitely go back again

Beautiful environment, wonderful staff and mostly awesome food. Good place to be with kids and pet friendly... If u turnup here you will agree with me...

We have stopped here many times. Pleasant and friendly staff. Food delicious and served quite quickly.

Lovely friendly pub in a beautiful location. The staff were very polite, friendly and professional. Dogs are allowed in the bar while you eat which for me personally is a huge plus. Good menu choice and reasonably priced. The food was very nice and portion sizes were plenty big enough. Sunday roast was good with two large chicken breast portions. I arrived by car but boaters on the broads can moor up alongside the pub's beer garden so it's great for boat holiday visit. Will be returning here again when I'm next in the area.Visit was 18th November, the pub was nice and quiet and we didn't need to book a table.

Lovely little pub with a bakery attached.. situated next to a river in the Norfolk Broads.. the menu and food are delightful and the bakery has cake to die for..

A lovely riverside local pub, they have an amazing cakes which we enjoyed and a great selection of drinks.

There is also a little shop attached with homemade chocolates that all look and tasted amazing

Would definitely stop again

Authentic and gorgeous by the water. Food is fantastic and beer is the best! Excellent time and fit for a family and friend get together ❤

Lovely pub on The Broads, large beer garden with amazing views. Small children's play area (wooden climbing frame with a slide). Food is very reasonably priced and large portions (kids ham, egg and chips was 2 thick large slices of ham, enough for an adult!) very decent pub grub. Also inside they sell homemade cakes and other sweet treats. A decent games room inside with giant connect 4, pool etc. We had a baby with us and couldn't use a highchair because they only had 2 and both were booked, which is worth knowing. Will definitely be on my revisit list if I come back to Norfolk!

Amazing food and scenery. Very calming atmosphere. Dog friendly too. Definitely one to add on route or way back. Even better when using a boat.
