The Ferry Tavern — Restaurant in England

We went for the Foodie Friday. About 300 people there and was the burger week. The service at the tavern was great. A long queue outside the building (20 minutes for drinks) but was as fast as possible given the amount of people and the bar staff were really good.

However, the foodie Friday was done by an outsourced company (by Above and Beyond) and the service was AWFUL!!! I’m giving the tavern full makes for their service given the volume of people, but the take away company deserved 0. The staff and chefs were lovely and I do value their apologies and service but food order were over 2 hours wait and many people were coming to refund their food before even getting it, so i’m blaming this on the company rather than the pub itself.

Very busy day, place could do with a spruce up had a coffee, limited on hot drinks, queue was about 15 minutes for a drink. Sat outside by the river, parked on road 5 minutes away, nice day out but prefer it as a stop off when out biking as the majority of patrons there seemed too aswell.

"The hot drinks were limited due to stock so the selection for a pub would have been fine if available. The 15 minutes was approximate, I wasn't timing but was around that, because it was busy. It was an honest, impartial reply and review not a complaint if it seems that way. I've visited the Tavern before and no doubt will again as it's location is good for me and has nice selections of beer and ale. I've never had food there so can't comment, but what was being served looked delicious and the staff...
