The Ferry Inn

About

The Ferry Inn is a celebrated riverside gastropub tucked into the picturesque village of St. Dogmaels in Pembrokeshire. From the moment you step onto its waterfront terraces you’re greeted with sweeping views of the River Teifi, a backdrop that pairs perfectly with its menu of freshly sourced Welsh produce and seasonal seafood. The culinary experience blends classic British comfort with Celtic influences, offering a range of dishes from a hearty Welsh steak to delicate sea bass fillets, all shared in a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. Beyond its dining, the Inn boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1833 and a reputation that has earned it a slate of prestigious awards—Good Food Gold for Gastro Pubs, OpenTable's Top 100 Outdoor Dining Restaurants, and recognition by The Guardian and The Times. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the friendly staff, highchairs for families, and pet‑friendly decks make it an inclusive spot for couples, solo travelers and even dog lovers alike. During holiday seasons, the Ferry offers a special festive menu and can accommodate large parties; meanwhile, the venue remains lively every weekday evening with a set menu and a dynamic cocktail range. Lasting 2–3 hours of dining is recommended to truly savour the ambience and river views.
