Ferry Boat Inn
About
Welcome to The Ferry Boat Inn – a charming village pub tucked beside the River Dart in Dittisham, South Devon. From the moment you step inside you’ll be greeted by a warm, cosy atmosphere and friendly locals. The pub offers a hearty menu that ranges from classic pub plates to fresh pizzas made with stone‑ground bases, a selection of gluten‑free, vegan and vegetarian options, and a variety of homemade sides. The real star of the place is the drinks. The bar stocks a wide range of West Country real ales, including local favourites such as Otter Bitter and Sharps Doombar, alongside lagers, stouts, sparkling and still ciders, and an extensive wine list that showcases both domestic and international labels. No visit would be complete without taking advantage of the breathtaking river view. From the pub’s windows and the outdoor patio you can watch boats glide along the Dart, while the sunset over the water provides a perfect backdrop for a relaxed pint or a meal with friends and family.
