Ferry Boat Inn

British pub food, at its very best! Let alone the fantastic venue, the food was outstanding! The starter dish of Roasted squash on toast is not to be missed. We had mains of Seabass Linguine and fish and chips. Sorry about the photo of the Linguine, which is nearly wholly eaten. Both dishes were really the really above and beyond. Enjoy!

Pub at Helford Passage. Essentially one large room. Clearly a place that thrives on its food sales, and the atmosphere is more restaurant than pub, with most tables booked by 5pm. Some local beers and standard prices. 30 seconds from ferry.

Outstanding location. And the staff were just wonderful. Very friendly and super efficient. Lovely local Cornwall lager and a view across the bay. Car parking a mission, make sure you take the top road to the carpark otherwise you are in for a nightmare down by the water.

I had an excellent dinner here while visiting Falmouth, which is just a short 15 minute drive away and well worth a visit. Walking down from the car park (£2 all day) the view is already picturesque. The setting is beautiful, right on the water front. The service was faultless and everyone was so friendly. I had the special aranchini to start and chicken schnitzel main. There's something for everyone on the menu. The wine list was also great. Looking forward to coming back with my partner in the near future. Thank you all.

Great location. We only stayed for drinks but what a view for a pint. Loved watching the ferry and boats moving about. It was an unreal location and view.

What a great place to chill out, post coastal path walk, and settle down to a drink and the best chips in Cornwall! You sit, if you’re brave enough, outside, overlooking the Helford Passage and watching the world go by. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They must be pretty tuckered out after a long summer of visitors and locals over the high season. The food came out quickly and was scrumptious. My only suggestion is that there should be more vegetarian options available, as people are changing their dietary preferences. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would recommend trying it for yourself! Our warm thanks to all the staff.

Fascinating little pub in an area that feels like it could be at the end of the world. Stunning views, tasty and fresh food, and very warm hospitality.

Great foodie pub, you do have to go into order but the service was still great. Food was quick for the quality. Food was awesome

What a lovely pub located right on the Helford Passage. The owners and staff were very friendly. The decor was super cute. The food is also very good, with focus on fish mainly. I ordered their fish n chips, my father ordered a seafood linguine. Both were excellent. A gem of a pub!

Wonderful setting down on the helford river. Large outdoor seating area where you can watch the little boats bobbing along. The pub gets quite busy though, so if you want lunch or dinner book in advance if you can (having said that we had no trouble getting a seat this time round!). I had a wonderful linguine pasta dish with garden peas and broccoli, but there were plenty of traditional pub dishes such as ham egg and chips, fish and chips, burgers etc. also quite a lot of fish specials. Desserts looked good, but we opted for icecream round the corner. There is a kids menu too. For parking use the car park at the top ad walk down it's only £1

I am very fond of the Ferry Boat for nostalgic reasons. I hung out here as a teenager and later when home from college. Those were the days of the juke box playing Procul Harum, no food served apart from a packet of nuts or crisps, and occasionally a folk night. Forward fifty years and it is still one of my favorite places to go when I visit the old homestead. It has evolved into a restaurant with rugs on the floor instead of gritty sand, a separate area to play pool, and a very interesting menu with lots of choices for families or those out for a delicious dinner. I still wish that they had pasties for purchase at lunchtime, as I am sure many people would like to take one to eat at the beach before they buy their Roskilly's from the kiosk. However, it has become less snooty the last couple of years, and we can't beat their fish and chips over other local pubs. The Red Lion and Pandora are distant runners up to the Ferry Boat. The portion is huge and I love their minty peas, when I usually find mushy peas quite disgusting. The car park up top is free after October 1st, or at least, I don't pay then! The Helford Passage is a beautiful spot, and a walk along the beach or road at sunset is calm and peaceful. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I live elsewhere now.

Good place to eat yummy food,for us locals its the last leg of what we used to call 'the triangle' starting at port navas,you only do this on a boat from port navas to the shipwrights then ferry boat good fun in them days Dunno if people still do it though!
