Welcome to The Ferry Inn, Cawood

slide show Keith and Gemma Bellwood welcome you to The Ferry Inn, Cawood.

This is a family run freehouse, and as such we hope to provide  an extensive range of beers, wine and spirits, along with excellent home-cooked food in a friendly, informal atmosphere.  We pride ourselves on offering the best in customer service and facilities, whatever the time of year.

After spending a long time in London, we have now come home to the North (Gemma grew up in Cawood).  We began trading at The Ferry Inn on October 20th 2005 (the day our son was born) and are slowly but surely making progress to what we hope is a wonderful English country Inn, but with a few modern amenities.

The Ferry Inn itself is an early 16th Century building, sitting on the banks of the river Ouse, and adjacent to historic Cawood bridge (c.1878). A river crossing has been situated here for many hundreds of years.  The building has been variously a farmhouse, coaching inn and cottages, and is now a large public house with many original features and a large riverside terrace and beer garden, with outside seating for in excess of 200 people.
