Our Story

More than a pub — a piece of the village.

The Muskham Ferry has stood beside the River Trent for generations, a quiet riverside spot where locals, walkers and boaters all find their way to the same wooden bench in the sun.

We serve honest, home-cooked food, pour pints we're proud of, and keep the fire on through the winter. Whether you arrive on foot, by car or by boat — there's always a warm welcome waiting.
