The Ferry in Windsor and Maidenhead

Very helpful in making sure our all female party was comfortable including the baby. Really welcoming, fast service, good selection of drinks from great wine to non alcoholic. Loud door to terrace. Would come again

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Ferry, a well-worth visit on a day trip from London. The roast is delicious and generous and the fish and chips are top class (very crispy batter and you can tell the tartare sauce and mushy peas are home made!). Highly recommend for you to stop here as you can enjoy beautiful views of the river on the outdoor terrace eating area.

The Ferry Cookham sits in great position by the river.From the website I had high expectations which were a little let down by the exterior. The white paint on the clapboarding is cracking/peeling and the logo is a bit faded. I appreciate that times have been tough but it would have been a good opportunity to redecorate this very visible aspect of the building.Inside it's a huge pub with multiple seating areas. The upstairs in particular has river views from several window tables. I should imagine that in summer it gets very busy so advance booking essential.The welcome was friendly and being a bit early for our 12.45pm booking wasn't a problem. We were taken upstairs to the window table I'd requested on their online booking system. This was good as quite often these requests either don't get read, or are ignored. Oddly however the table was laid for three and the placements faced into the room not out towards the river. No big deal and we reorganised easily.Menu was straightfoward for a place of this type, and tta was fine as we only wanted a single course of something quick and light. However it would have been good to have seen a 'special of the day'.Food order, service, and quality was fine and payment process prompt unlike many places despite the touchcard technology.My main suggestion for improvement (apart from exterior decoration) is the ground floor gents toilet. There are two doors set so close together they're not easy to open. When the pub is full this must be a problem. And once inside it's not that big. I doubt very much I'm the first person to remark on this and lockdown would have been a good opportunity to restructure this area to create a much higher quality facility.If I happened to be in the area I'd book again, but it wouldn't take much to make me really want to.

Had an incredible lunch at the ferry today, extremely friendly staff, and delicious food. Jess was our server but both managers (I think giri and Peter if I remember right) were very helpful and kind.

Popped in for a coffee earlier, and we were welcomed by an amazing roaring fire! The sun was out so we even got to have our coffee outside and the bartender Lee made some delicious cappcinos!

Beautiful setting right on the river. Just had a great meal for large party following a conference. Due to people needing to isolate, the numbers changed up until the day but staff were wonderfully understanding. Food was delicious and served all at the same time which group always easy with a large group. Staff were friendly, efficient and attentive without being intrusive. Can't fault a single thing and this will be a regular fixture several times a year. Thank you to all the staff who made our evening so enjoyable.

Great food, lovely ambience, brilliant staff! A must visit! It’s right next to Thames and they serve brilliant Malbec!

Lovely place to eat and we have always had a good meal there. I also like the calories being added to the dishes

Never been before but liked the look of the menu …. They are full of good intention but there were some shortcomings that made it only average , have the rating .Szechwan pepper squid - nope - bland but ok … just not what it was meant to be .No cutleryNo napkinsBrie chicken bacon pie - no Brie that we could taste …I have Diablo pizza which was good …Deserts came and were ok … but not particularly good valueCoffees then arrived 5 minutes after and were tepid , not hot .The staff had the right idea but just need more training , and the food needs to live up to the sophisticated descriptions.Meal for 4Starter mains and deserts . 6 beers£165Ok but not great .Not impressive enough to go again .

Great outdoor area overlooking the river, good food and friendly and helpful staff. A friend recommended this pub a while back and finally decided to give it a go when restrictions were lifted. Many options on the food menu for all tastes an a good variety of drinks too. I'm not giving it 5 stars because my steak had severely burnt marks from the grill and they compromised the taste of it.
