Ferry Boat Inn Tottenham

Scenic Pub Garden with Cozy Atmosphere

Nestled gracefully along the tranquil banks of the River Lea, the Ferry Boat Inn emerges as a beacon of rustic charm amidst the bustling scenery of Walthamstow’s wetlands. The allure begins as you step onto the spacious terrace, where the delicate glistening of the Coppermill Stream and the soft chatter amongst tables create an inviting yet relaxed ambiance. It's a place that seems to pause time with its idyllic views, especially when you spot a family of ducks gliding past – truly a sanctuary for both patrons and their four-legged companions. On a sunny day, it’s a rare retreat where nature and Nordisch-inspired cuisine come together under shades of grand parasols.

My adventure there coincided with one of those perfect English spring days. The triple roast Sunday menu did not disappoint – a far cry from pub stereotypes with meats succulent and vegetables perfectly delightful. Washing it down with their curated selection of ales felt both indulgent and deserved. Though discrepancies around service and coeliac assurances may be discernible in other narratives about this establishment, my experience was marked by attentiveness - possibly a nod to the midweek quiet crowds. But perhaps the real triumph of the Ferry Boat Inn is its congenial interaction of space and atmosphere; a locale seemingly at one with its landscape, where tales are exchanged under constellations with memories entrenched by the harmonious intertwining of sunlit afternoons and soothing breezes. — Clarissa Cuisinier
