5 /5 Earnest Hutchings: Review: Visiting The Ferry Boat Inn, Tottenham
I recently stopped by The Ferry Boat Inn in Tottenham, and it turned out to be one of those classic London pub experiences that blends history with a relaxed, modern vibe.
Atmosphere: The pub sits right by the River Lea, which gives it a slightly rustic, riverside charm. Inside, it’s spacious and welcoming, with a mix of traditional wooden décor and casual seating. It felt lively but not overwhelming — perfect for a relaxed evening.
Food & Drinks: I ordered a pint from their rotating cask ales, which was fresh and well‑kept. The menu is very much pub comfort food: fish & chips, burgers, pies, and sharing platters. My fish & chips were crisp, golden, and satisfying, while friends enjoyed hearty burgers. Prices were reasonable for London, making it good value.
Service: Staff were friendly and attentive, even though the pub was busy. Drinks arrived quickly, and food didn’t take long either.
