The Ferry Inn is an award-winning riverside pub & restaurant located beside the River Teifi, offering extraordinary estuary and countryside views.
​
We're serving gastropub fare in a casual, relaxed atmosphere.
Dine with a view from our indoor restaurant areas, in our log cabin dining area or out on our multiple waterfront terraces.

We are renowned for locally sourced produce, in particular freshly caught fish specials that change based on local availability.
Our menu is regularly described as 'pub food with a twist' and has recently been awarded the Good Food Award for Gastro Pubs for a fourth year.

Families, Dogs & Muddy Boots are all welcome.
We are very dog friendly but please let us know if you're bringing a dog.

We look forward to welcoming you to our idyllic riverside pub.

    Great location and wonderful food, the Sunday lunch service was busy on a beautiful autumn half term but nothing the management couldn’t cope with. Lots of options to sit outside or in the cabin. Our waitress was particularly nice and helpful.

    It's a great place but you don't go there for the food. Go when it's light (they open the kitchen from 3 at the moment, not 6 as it says on the website, might be earlier in summer) and enjoy the views - it's spectacular but there's nothing to see when it's dark. Food is pretty average pub fare and expensive for what it is but you're paying for the experience. 4 stars overall - 3 for the food and 5 for the place.
