The menu is always extensive. Every dish is immaculately prepared to order. The local farms and markets are scoured daily for fresh vegetables, the herbs are picked fresh from the restaurants very own gardens, and the highest quality meat and fish is brought in by courier.

Special dietary needs are also facilitated, simply ask your hosts, and if it is possible the dish will be prepared specifically for you. Their focus is you and your total satisfaction. So if any elements of your dining experience need tweaking, it will be so.

The New Ferry Restaurant also features an extensive wine menu, with exceptional wines from all over the world. Choosing the best wine for your meal simply means talking through the relative merits with your hosts and potentially tasting your way through the hard choices.

Then you can sit back in the well appointed and comfortable Madeira Bar area, sip your aperitifs and await the completion of preparations for your dining experience. When seated you will enjoy unequaled views of the beautiful river Trent, while your food is served to you using the traditional (and now little used) art of full silver service.

The restaurant also boasts an award-winning selection of dessert items and extravagant cheese board offerings. As you can imagine, it takes more than one evening to do this sort of dining experience justice. Which probably explains why The New Ferry Restaurant enjoys a rock-solid group of regular customers, some of whom travel great distances to indulge in its fare.
