The Ferry House Family

FAMILY OWNED SINCE 2000

Owned by the Burden family since 2000, our connection to Harty actually goes back much further. As a third generation farming family, we’ve cultivated the land around about since the 1960s and have a deep love and respect for the local area, and The Ferry House’s place within its heritage. We’re lucky to have a wonderful team – you might say extended family – who are as passionate about The Ferry House as we are.

ALEX & VICTORIA BURDEN • OWNERS

The Ferry House is much more than a business to us. It’s our home, our family & we invest all of our passion into delivering the first class hospitality experience that we know touches people’s lives. We feel privileged that people choose us for their important occasions - whether that’s a meal, stay, wedding or event. We live by our core values - Commitment, Consistency, Family, Quality & Pride - with 'Family' being the most centrally important factor to all we do.

History

JAMES PILCHER • HEAD CHEF

Head Chef James shares the Burden passion for our home grown, family-farmed & locally sourced produce & has an aspirational vision for our 2AA Rosette restaurant. “As a chef, The Ferry House is a special place - the farm, the garden, the estate, the local suppliers, now new things like the butchery - those are all things that few places have any of, let alone all of them. This is a place that supports my ideas & allows me free reign to develop a style of my own”. James Pilcher.
