The New Ferry Restaurant
featured on British television recently due to its somewhat
unique combination of culinary influences. While traditional
British dishes mix it up with French and other Continental
European fare, the main specialism of the house is
Portuguese food.
The menu is always
extensive. Every dish is immaculately prepared to order. The
local farms and markets are scoured daily for fresh
vegetables, the herbs are picked fresh from the restaurants
very own gardens, and the highest quality meat and fish is
brought in by courier.
Special dietary needs are
also facilitated, simply ask your hosts, and if it is
possible the dish will be prepared specifically for you.
Their focus is you and your total satisfaction. So if any
elements of your dining experience need tweaking, it will be
so.
The New Ferry Restaurant
also features an extensive wine menu, with exceptional wines
from all over the world. Choosing the best wine for your
meal simply means talking through the relative merits with
your hosts and potentially tasting your way through the hard
choices.
Then you can sit back in the
well appointed and comfortable Madeira Bar area, sip your
aperitifs and await the completion of preparations for your
dining experience.
When seated you will enjoy
unequaled views of the beautiful river Trent, while your
food is served to you using the traditional (and now little
used) art of full silver service.
The restaurant also boasts
an award-winning selection of dessert items and extravagant
cheese board offerings.
As you can imagine, it takes
more than one evening to do this sort of dining experience
justice. Which probably explains why The New Ferry
Restaurant enjoys a rock-solid group of regular customers,
some of whom travel great distances to indulge in its
fare.
