I stayed here for my wedding weekend with my whole family, the managers were so lovely and helpful they really made it a special weekend, rooms are gorgeous each has it's own theme and the food is delicious! The staff couldn't do enough for us all, even given the hungover groom a lift to his car the following morning :-)... More

We have been to the Grove Ferry Inn for years, decided to go their on Saturday 26th May to have lunch in the lovely surroundings by the river. Found a table easily enough (which was surprising), the only food that was on offer was the BBQ (4/5 choices e.g burger, cheeseburger,chicken burger all for £6.00 which we thought was expensive)...

Jane Welcome to Trip Advisor, I hope you have a great time telling people about your travels on line, it’s a brilliant community. I’m afraid we may not have been clear in our messages for your visit. As we can now seat over 150 people in our garden (more than we have car parking spaces for) we have reduced the... More

Seven meals ordered. Four people ordered the same starter and it was delivered on one plate so people had to move seats so they could eat meals. My wife main course was served and it was the wrong meal. When it did come it had three inch anchovies in it (Chick chick chicken caesar salad) When I questioned the fish... More

Stayed here with a friend in May 2012. We were welcomed very warmly and given the choice of two rooms - both family rooms with a double and single bed. We chose room 3 - overlooking the terrace and river. It was very bright and comfortable - with 2 comfortable chairs to gaze out of the widnow, and a bathroom... More

We have been visiting the Grove Ferry for a few years now and have had some memorably bad experiences but finally this year, thanks to the "Yummy" team who have now taken over, this fantastic old building has finally got the TLC it deserves. We stayed over the week-end of the 28th April, which was one of the wettest this... More

We stayed over on the 21st April, a very special occasion for us and all our friends who came to enjoy it with us. What can we say - well we put a lot of demands on all the staff and the venue and what they delivered was just fantastic. Everyone had a great night, the food was so much... More

initial reaction was good; great location, handsome building. Rooms nice enough but with odd decor. Had to wait to check in with bar staff who seemed stretched as only 2 on duty on a saturday afternoon. Evening meal disappointing; 3 out of 4 of our first choice meals not available as was the bottle of wine. One pizza served raw... More
