The Ferryman

4.4(675 reviews)

About

On Isle of Wight, The Ferryman is a pub at Undershore Rd, Lymington SO41 5SB, United Kingdom, a setting that places it near the water.

The Ferryman is known as a pub, and its reputation rests on the kind of setting where seafood — crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats — features in the island's food culture. First-time visitors can expect a relaxed pub atmosphere rather than a formal dining room, with the position keeping it close to the harbour. A rating of 4.4 out of 5 across 675 reviews reflects how consistently patrons respond.

Reaching the pub from Newport, Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin or Ventnor is feasible given the island's road network, and the nearby places of Freshwater and Yarmouth sit within the same orbit. Its website, https://ferrymanlymington.com/, provides a further reference point.

Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer, so the waterfront setting fits the island's rhythm. English is the main language across the Isle of Wight, making visits simple for anyone arriving from the mainland.
