The Farndon Boathouse was formerly known as The New Ferry Restaurant and went through a major redevelopment & refurbishment programme in the summer of 2008. This part new-build and extensive renovation project is in the style of an old boathouse that has been tastefully converted into a modern eatery!

The Farndon Boathouse re-opened as a fashionable, bar and eatery, serving fresh modern food, using local produce and at most reasonable prices.

Not even one year on we came 'Runner up' for 'Best out of town' and 'Best Newcomer' in the 2009 Nottinghamshire Restaurant Awards. We also received a 4-star review in the independent press from Metro.co.uk. [CLICK HERE to read Metro's full 'rave review'].

The Boathouse serves an ever changing selection of cask conditioned real ales, fine wines and continental beers. With live music every Sunday evening from 8.30pm; this buzzing new venue is the place to be this summer.

The bar and restaurant is situated in a stunning location, with river views from an extensively glazed frontage, modern outdoor terrace and raised decking.

In wintertime, you can be assured of a warm welcome with roaring open-fires to keep you cosy & snug. However, it's sure to become a top summer destination too; and with great adjacent nature reserve walks, this will always be a truly wonderful setting for either a relaxed meal or just a peaceful drink; whilst gazing-out over the meandering river and across the rolling country shires beyond...
