Ferryboat, Whitchurch on Thames

An attractive 18th century country style pub, nestled in the small riverside village of Whitchurch on Thames and just a few yards from the Whitchurch toll bridge.

The pub is housed in an historic building and has an attractive ambience with an open fire in the main bar. The pub has ceased operating primarily as a restaurant and the former restaurant area has been converted into a second bar and, with a central serving area serving both bars. The bars have been refurbished with new furniture, including leather sofas, and redecorated to provide a comfortable, contemporary, yet traditional feel. The tiled floor in the main bar is particularly attractive. Connecting the two bars on one side is a ‘snug’ area with one table suitable for seating up to six customers. A wholesome good pub food menu will be offered from the end of October 2026. The pub is family and dog friendly and has a car park and a small courtyard garden to the rear. There is also a garden room awaiting refurbishment into a function room.

There is a defibrillator on the corner of Manor Road, 200m north of the pub, located on the west side of the road in a disused red telephone box.

Reopened in late July 2026 with new tenants, having closed in May 2026 after the previous tenants left. Reopened in October 2025 having closed in June 2022 following the death in May 2022 of the previous leaseholder.
