No Real Ale.
Built in 1846 this former hotel on the banks of the Mersey is near the old Eastham Ferry and next to the abandoned site of of a Victorian zoo which is now part of Eastham Country Park. Still popular with day trippers and walkers even without the ferry or the zoo. The pub is a large open plan area served by a central bar with the emphasis on food. Decor is a mixture of historical memorabilia and photographs and more modern furnishings and artwork.
Historic Interest
Built in 1843 as the Stanley Arms, almost immediately changed name to the Eastham Ferry Hotel. Listed in Bagshaw's Directory of 1850. Adjacent to the hotel were pleasure gardens including a zoo with a grand entrance arch (see the old photo) which was a copy of the Marble Arch in London. Grade II listed.
