This was my very first visit to the ferry restaurant and I was so impressed. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food & prepared to a high standard. The staff are amazing and gave us a very warm welcome. I look forward to the next time. Overall 10/10

The Ferry Restaurant is the most unique riverside location, great ambiance, attentive service by Deborah, beautiful food carefully prepared by the talented Chef and varied selection of fine wines, drinks etc. whether for a romantic meal for two on the terrace area alongside the water, or just a Pimms on a hot sunny day, or for a larger party, The Ferry is the place to be.
Kind regards,
Christine Hopkins
I have had several visits to the unique 'Ferry' restaurant. I keep going back because the food is excellent and the atmosphere looking out across the River Hamble superb. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to provide a good evening - the entertainment was excellent. The last time my daughter held her hen party there and everyone had a wonderful evening.

Dear Deborah,
Just to say thank you for the evening of Thursday 13th August, you made my birthday celebrations perfect!
Nothing was too much trouble for you.
The food was beautifully presented and very delicious.
I could not have chosen a better venue.
Many thanks and kind regards.

If you find yourself anywhere near Elephant Boatyard in Swanwick, Hampshire, DO NOT leave the area until you have been to The Ferry Restaurant. Tucked away amid the boats and pontoons is this Gem of an Eatery. It's a real find and once visited, you will want to return again and again believe me.
Owned and run by Deborah Ford and Anthony Guichard who also happens to be the Chef, it's exactly what it says it is. A genuine Victorian/Edwardian Ferry.
This couple have made it one of the most interesting places to eat and the food is delicious. It's high on my list for Sunday lunch! But dinner is a real treat too. The menu is varied enough not to be boring, the atmosphere is very friendly and the place is a lot of fun. I always take my friends there when they come to stay.
I must be mad to tell anyone else about it because it's going to be even harder to get a reservation in this already busy Restaurant!
Persevere, you won't be disappointed.

The Ferry is fun. It's a great location tucked away on the water's edge where they built a sailing ship for Nelson...... AND the food's a bit good too. We run a multi media international company called LUXFactor and need to feed clients from all over the globe. The Ferry is just about the best place for business or pleasure. Many of our clients come from the world of TV, film and stage and they've eaten in some of the best - and indeed some of the more unusual - places around the world They're always looking for great new places to eat, and the wonderful, very English, waterside setting never fails to charm even the hardest to please.
Quite often they say to us that they've arrived expecting to be treated as customer but have left The Ferry feeling as if they've had a good meal with new friends. It's a relaxing atmosphere with a great welcome from the host and owner, Deborah. She takes a discreet personal interest in the needs of her customers. And the dishes created by the French chef combine great ingredients which are simply put together to create the satisfaction of a good plate full of flavour.
The Ferry always manage to fit us in at the shortest notice. It's a good place to relax with friends at lunchtime or for supper. A couple of bottles of the house wine and that great, unrivalled view across the River Hamble watching people messing about in their boats really hits the spot!
If you're after comparisons............well we know a wonderful place perched high in the mountains overlooking the Lake of St. Moritz in Switzerland......or there's the floating restaurant in the famous Backwaters of Southern India.
But if you're looking to have a great eating experience nearer to home try The Ferry right here on your very own bit of river bank.

Probably the most unique restaurant I have ever been too in an excellent location. The food is great and the staff friendly.
Mr. Andy Page
We have become extremely fond of this wonderful place, and have visited it time and time again, each visit special in its own way. If you are looking for somewhere special - for someone special this is the place!! In the winter it offers a cozy warm atmosphere and in the summer a fresh, open welcoming place. We LOVE the ferry, and will be booking again very soon!!
