The Ferry Boat

The Ferry Boat is a classic “end of the walk” destination, where you can finally unclench your shoulders and your dog can flop down with the satisfaction of a job well sniffed. It’s an easygoing spot for a pint, a meal, or a long chat that starts with “just one” and turns into “should we order something?”. The atmosphere suits muddy paws and real conversations, not posing for photos, which is exactly what most dog owners want. Your dog gets to relax among friendly noise, you get to refuel, and everyone wins. If your pup is the social type, expect a few friendly greetings. If they’re more reserved, they can settle close and enjoy being part of your plans. Bring a chew, and prepare for the inevitable puppy-dog eyes when food appears.
