Welcome to the Ferry Inn

Our mid-Summer Menu is now available and we have a great range of Specials of the Day for your delectation. We have also just updated our wine list and added some very good wines by the glass.

You can now book a table from this website, which we hope will make booking easier. Please try it out if you are planning to dine with us.

Everyone that uses the table booking system will be automatically included in our monthly Prize Draw, which is for a free meal for two (including any item from the Specials Menu).

The Ferry Inn is an ancient, Seventeenth Century pub and restaurant that was the home of the ferry between the Isle-of-Oxney and the English mainland at Appledore. The Ferry is situated in beautiful countryside between Tenterden, Appledore, Stone-in-Oxney and Wittersham and adjoins the historic Saxon Shore Way. It is also only 6 miles away from Rye and Camber Sands.

Our Head Chef, Phillip Camilleri, has been in the catering trade for over 30 years. Phillip has recently introduced a brand new Spring menu featuring variations on some of our favourite dishes together with some delightful new additions. He prefers to use use locally sourced ingredients, where possible, and all food is prepared to order. Fresh fish from the daily catch from Rye, Hastings and Folkestone is featured on the menu whenever possible.

The Ferry Inn, also known as the Oxney Ferry, enjoys late sun and beautiful views all year round from the pub's front terrace and riverside garden. It offers an extensive selection of award winning ales and fine wines in both its restaurant and bar areas. The Ferry Restaurant offers locally sourced, freshly prepared and cooked food in a beautiful countryside surrounding. A selection of freshly caught fish is available year round, and specials in the winter months include a selection of locally sourced game.
