Crack on with these Easter plans at Old Ferry Boat

Easter is one of those occasions that deserves to be done. Good company, proper plates and an excuse to linger a little longer than usual. Join us this Easter and make a meal of it, for get-togethers that call for something a bit special (without getting fancy for fancy’s sake).

Think tempting starters, comforting mains and desserts that persuade you to make more room. It’s familiar enough to please everyone, but special enough for those long, laughter-filled meals that turn into memories.

Fizz Fridays

Bubbles without the budget

Fridays are for fizz. And at just £12.95 a bottle, it’s practically rude not to. Start the weekend as you mean to go on — glasses clinking, bubbles flowing, and the unmistakable soundtrack of people saying “just one more”.

It’s the perfect excuse to grab the gang, take over a table, and toast to absolutely anything. Birthdays, work wins, or finally getting everyone together — every Friday deserves fizz, and we’ve made sure it won’t break the bank.

Reasons to hop over this Easter

Easter is one of those rare moments where diaries open up, and everyone’s suddenly free. No rushing. No alarms. Just proper catch-ups that only happen when the whole table’s together.

Toast over roasts

Crisp roasties, generous gravy and plates piled high, because Easter Sunday deserves nothing less. Whether you’re all-in on tradition or mixing it up, this is the kind of roast that keeps everyone happily quiet (until pudding).

Less reason to rush

From grandparents to little ones (and everyone in between), Easter brings everyone together. You don't need to stress over the washing, worry about burning the veg, or even about pouring your own drink. We've got every part of your day covered!

Perfect to book ahead

Easter comes around once a year. Tables don’t stay empty for long, so booking ahead means one less thing to organise (and one more thing to look forward to).

What do people eat over Easter?

Easter Sunday lunch is all about the flavours that bring people together. Traditionally, lamb is a popular choice, but many people choose beef, turkey, or gammon as their Easter centrepiece. The trimmings could be even more important—fluffy Yorkshires, golden, crispy roast potatoes, and seasonal veg all drenched in gravy.

Of course, the sweet side of Easter is just as important. You'll find hot cross buns making an appearance at breakfast tables across the country, best enjoyed warm with butter melting into each bite. From rich fruit cakes and traditional puddings to mountains of chocolate goodies, Easter is definitely the time to embrace your sweet tooth.

Easter Sunday falls on 5th April 2026 this year, and Good Friday will be on 3rd April. With the four-day Bank Holiday weekend ahead, it’s the perfect opportunity to get together, relax, and enjoy an unbeatable Easter pub lunch at The Old Ferry Boat.
