Our Food Ethos

A note from head chef, james pilcher

At The Ferry House, great food starts long before it reaches your plate. We grow our own produce in our kitchen garden, forage from hedgerows and shorelines, and source eggs and beef from our family farm just up the road, where livestock graze on the salt marshes of Elmley Nature Reserve.

Wild game comes from the Harty estate, shot in season and prepared in-house, while our onsite butchery is key to our nose-to-tail ethos and ensures nothing goes to waste.

Our farm’s grain even goes into Copper Rivet Distillery’s award-winning spirits—perfect to pair with your meal.

It’s all about fresh, local ingredients and knowing exactly where your food comes from—that’s what makes dining here so special.

On The Menu

2AA ROSETTE AWARDED RESTAURANT & TASTE OF KENT WINNER 2018 & 2014

“The winner is Kent to its core, local everything from cider to the cows grazing in the surrounding land, served with top end personal service by staff whose knowledge of the local area was as if they were born and raised there. “Quite simply the best all round experience shouting Kent”

Fantastic find

Such a gem of a find. Tranquil beautiful surrounding. The staff were consistently polite and attentive. The food was top rated. Over all we had a fantastic retreat

Beautiful stay and great food! Can’t wait to return!

A night away with family and the dogs to celebrate a birthday.
We stayed in the new rooms behind the main bar. The room was super spacious, cold out beds for the kids which they loved and a really nice dog bed, treats and bowls welcome pack for the dogs.
Then owners have invested in the small details, really nice toiletries, with great selection (Noble Isle) and a treat to return to our room after a walk and a beer to fine some little ginger cake for each of us. đź‘Ś nice touch!
Dinner was excellent, fancy menus but actually simple and all the produce either grown in the kitchen garden or sourced locally.
Breakfast wow! 10/10!

Superb Sunday roast!

We booked a roast dinner at The Ferry House to celebrate my husbands birthday. We can never find anywhere decent to eat a good Sunday roast but this place came highly recommended.

It was such an informal, relaxed atmosphere with beautiful surroundings. The starters (venison croquette and partridge) were excellent so we knew the roast would be good. When the roast came, it surpassed our expectations. The beef was of the highest quality and had so much flavour. My 7 year old ate all of his and he rarely finishes a meal!

We will definitely be back, thank you to the staff for a great experience.

Father’s Day Breakfast

We took my Dad here for Father’s Day.

It’s so beautiful. My partner & I are coming back for Valentine’s Day next year.

The food really is wonderful.

You get so much for your money.

It’s £17.50 per person. This includes unlimited juices, teas, coffees, cereals, yoghurt, fruit & toast (which you help yourselves too), & you choose an item from their menu. I had the corned beef hash brown, I think my Mum had the shakshuka (the photo with the flowers), & my Boyfriend & Dad had a full English.

Beautiful view. I highly recommend.
