AWARD-WINNING COUNTRY RESTAURANT IN KENT

We close for regular dining & stays from 29th March as we become a dedicated weddings and events venue. We hope to welcome as many of you as possible until then, and beyond on select pop-up dining evenings.

Serving up the best of culinary Kent, our home-grown produce, family-farmed beef, Harty game, and farm-grown spirits take ‘pride of plate’ on The Ferry House menu. Our 16th-century, family-run restaurant is proud to hold a 2AA Rosette and two ‘Taste of Kent’ awards.

Join us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, including our much-loved Sunday Roasts, vegan delights, and private dining. Settle into our cosy, dog-friendly restaurant, characterful bar, or alfresco terrace with stunning estuary views.

We recommend checking our opening times and booking ahead, as we sometimes host private events.

For groups of more than 6, please call us on 01795 510 214 (option 1) to book. For smaller groups, if the date or time you’re looking for isn’t available online, please get in touch – we may still be able to accommodate you.

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”

Always fabulous food

Always fabulous food... It's a trip to get there but it's totally worth it. We always try and take people when they come and stay with us so get in there for a meal before they stop doing it and it becomes an event-only business

Fantastic

Delicious food, friendly service and a stunning location.

If you're driving it's a bit out of the way, but it;'s well worth the drive.

Superb vegan options - but let the team know in advance as there are then additional options on a separate vegan menu.
