AWARD-WINNING COUNTRY RESTAURANT IN KENT

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 – then take a stroll through our kitchen garden.

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

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.

Latest Garden News

Winter’s best produce is still on our menu, but spring is already sprouting in the garden. Fresh herbs, aubergines, chillies, and tomatoes are thriving in the greenhouse, while sweet peas and perennials start to bloom, ready to brighten our restaurant tables. Our artichokes are standing tall, inspiring dishes like the Garden Artichoke Blondie—just one way we get creative with what we grow.

Seasonal Updates

Spring brings new life to our family farm as calves and their mothers will move from straw pens to fresh pasture in April. Natural grass grazing keeps them healthy and enhances the quality of the beef we serve at The Ferry House. Our sustainable approach goes further—grain from our farm is sent to Copper Rivet Distillery and returned as cattle feed, closing the loop for the benefit of both the animals and the environment.

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”

A Gastronomic Delight

Came for a birthday lunch with family. Wowed by the home grown and produced food. Stunning location. Lovely log fire. Even able to walk round the patch where my food was grown! Can't get better than that. Staff very obliging. And even spontaneously arranged a birthday surprise plate. Thank you Ferry House.

AMAZING.

Beautiful pub. Friendly staff and fantastic food. I had the roast beef which was so tender and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was brilliant. Very attentive and could answer all our questions. Always had a smile on her face. The rest of the staff also very friendly.
