The potato's looked better than they tasted (overrated). What tasted the best in my opinion was the sautéed leeks and parsnips and carrots. The bread was like a fried donut, eh. The Scottish eggs are decent. The ambiance was cool n trendy. Music was on point. We enjoyed our night here.

We went for a Sunday roast and it coincided with when they had a live jazz band playing. It's quite shabby chic, but really quite big. There's a room out the back which is more of a dining room but we stayed in the front bit as that's where the music was. It was busy but we got a table and people came and went so there was normally space for those arriving. The roast dinner was the best I've probably ever had out, certainly in London and at £12 each it wasn't bad at all. There was so much meat (we both had the lamb) and it was so tender and juicy. It had the largest, tastiest homemade Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen, crispy goose fat roast potatoes and perfectly cooked parsnip, carrots and cabbage. It had really delicious gravy too. The drinks were cheap and the jazz band were brilliant. When they weren't playing, there was a guy in the corner with decks playing LPs. There have been some comments on here from other reviewers about the toilets. The ladies were really clean and nicely decorated so may have been refurbished recently. My boyfriend went to the men's and said they weren't the best but not that bad so they may have had some work recently too. This pub is really handy for Forest Gate station and also Wanstead. We had a lovely walk around Wanstead Flats before going to the pub so there's lots to do if you travel to the area. We'll definitely be visiting a lot more.

I came here for the Beef Wellington for two, which is a hell of a deal and was completely excellent. We started with a scotch egg, which was also terrific, but perhaps too filling, as there was still a lot of food to come. However, since the beef takes 40 minutes to come out, we had some recovery time. Terrific staff that moved us when the party at the next table was getting a little rowdy. I appreciated their proactive solution.

Overall, a good place, especially for the location and I, will try it again. hopefully on my second visit, I will be able to get the Sunday roast, and hopefully, it will be worth another star in my review.

First of all, it's actually off a main road on the very edge of Tottenham and not far from the resevoirs and lakes nearby. Okay it boils down to this: the food here is damn good! close your eyes for a sec - now think of all typical British pub food and think of them done very, very well. If you like some of what's in that imagination, then go to the Ferry Boat. The steak is particularly good and their desserts will surprise you a lot! The strawberry cheesecake there beats the undies off most fancy cake shops in the city. The atmosphere is good, no rowdy or shady characters here (apart from me of course~!) should make for a decent meal out with friends; a nice and spacious beer garden is also pretty good if the weather is nice (yep, all 4 good days of the year!) The only downer is the fact that the furniture is a bit off compared to the otherwise exceptionally nice interior (with woodfire and country house feel). The chairs are at times rickety, and some pretty mismatched and gawdy. It says 3 stars on top but I'd give it 3.5. I wouldn't cross the city to dine here, but if you want a safe choice and are nearby then check it out. Ash

When my boyfriend and I arrived, we were IDed and informed the pub is 21+. My boyfriend was denied entry 3 days before his 21st birthday. We confirmed on the website beforehand the restaurant was only 21+ on Saturdays, May 5 was a Friday. The bouncer told us the policy was "discretionary," more like discriminatory. One of the woman in our party, also 20, was allowed entry minutes before us. The bouncer checked her ID and allowed her in. When they saw my boyfriend (who was completely sober) they denied us service for no real reason. They screwed up our plans and lost our business. Our friends left and we had to make last minute arrangements on a busy Friday night. Very disappointing.

I was a little confused by their ordering process, not realizing that you had to go up to the bar to place your food orders, which the waitstaff will then bring to your table. Being a bar and all, they had an impressive selection of beers and ciders, and, if I can recall correctly, at least 5 different types of roasts available for dinner. I opted for their vegetarian roast, which consisted of some sort of soy and carrot mixture. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect a Sunday roast to be, but after getting my food, I immediately realized that it was like a Thanksgiving day meal back home in the states. I had roasted potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce with my veggie roast, which are pretty standard to a Thanksgiving day meal. The Yorkshire puddings, however, was what made it distinctly English. It's a bit out of the way from Central London, but I think this place is worth visiting if you're hankering for some sort of Sunday roast. Fun, friendly staff in a divey kind of bar setting. Prices were also reasonable and the portions were huge. All the right components for a good meal and dining experience, if you ask me.
