The Ferry, Shoreham Menu

Tucked away on the corner of East Street in Shoreham-by-Sea, The Ferry, Shoreham Menu offers a welcoming balance between casual pub fare and elevated gastropub creations. As a reviewer with a keen interest in coastal eateries that understand their audience, I found The Ferry to deliver a menu that’s both approachable and subtly refined.

From the start, the ambiance set a warm tone. With rustic interiors and nautical accents, it caters to locals, families, and visitors alike. The menu leans into British pub classics but isn’t afraid to explore more inventive territory. The standout for me was the beer-battered cod-crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and accompanied by hand-cut chips and crushed peas. It was clear this dish wasn’t just another afterthought on a pub menu; it demonstrated thoughtful preparation and balance.

The Ferry also offers vegetarian and vegan options, such as the beetroot and butternut squash burger, which was a surprising highlight thanks to its earthy richness and complementary textures. For those with a sweet tooth, the sticky toffee pudding was decadently moist and well-spiced, a comforting end to the meal.

Compared to other pubs in West Sussex, what makes The Ferry unique is its consistency-portion sizes are generous, presentation is clean, and service is timely. While it might not rival fine dining establishments in innovation, it certainly surpasses expectations for a neighborhood pub. That reliability, combined with its central location at 1-3 East St, makes it a solid go-to for both weekday dinners and weekend gatherings.

Whether you're a local or just passing through Shoreham-by-Sea, The Ferry strikes a fine balance of comfort and quality, offering a menu that satisfies traditional tastes while sprinkling in just enough creativity to keep things interesting.
