The Ferry Inn, Stokesby

I agree with the previous reviewers. A nice pub, pleasant staff and good food. I had a kedgeree which was really top notch; someone in the kitchen really knows what he or she is doing. Shame the only ale is Adnams, but if you're going to be limited to a single brewery then Adnams is not a bad one to choose! My pint of Fat Sprat was very enjoyable.

The Nelson Head, Horsey

Great free house. Must have been at least 8 ales available when I called in while holidaying in the area last week, and as many ciders. Had a lovely pint of Tombstone; shame I was driving or I'd have tried some more. Interesting surroundings (Nelson memorabilia and various firearms on display), good service from cheerful staff and the grub was nice too. Made me wish I lived round here so I could visit this pub often.

Cherry Tree, Rowledge

I'd say don't worry too much about earlier negative reviews, there are new (May 2013) people here now who are making a real effort and in my view they deserve to succeed. The owner and staff are really friendly and welcoming. The food is pricey but the quality is high. The beer is well kept, with a choice of four ales (although if you want the full choice you may wish to avoid Thursday lunchtimes, when the lines are cleaned). Turning round what was a tired pub is bound to take time, but the direction of travel is definitely up!
