Graham Coombs left this review about The Ferryboat Inn
A superbly-located pub at the western extremity of the island which has been much extended and 'improved' over the years. It is now a comfortable food-led pub. Several distinct areas are spread around the central bar, all with a light nautical feel but avoiding the usual trap of hanging maritime junk everywhere. Outside there is an extensive waterside terrace. A reasonable if slightly mainstream range of draught ales included Tribute, Ghost Ship, Pedigree, Razorback and London Pride. Very pleasant at quiet times but best avoided at summer peaks. A word of warning on car parking: the car park next to the pub is minimum £3, refundable on food but not just drink (and ANPR controlled too). The adjacent council ferry beach car park is cheaper especially for short stays. There is no road parking.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ferryboat Inn
Much-extended pub in a prime position at the entrance to Langstone Harbour and right by the eponymous transport service between Hayling and Portsea Islands. With various seating / dining areas in a slightly split-level arrangement around the central servery, there is plenty of space inside but on a fine day (as it was when I visited) the outdoor tables on the waterfront terrace offer a fantastic panorama. With two banks of three handpumps on different counters, the real ale selection was fairly mainstream but good value (e.g. Tribute at £3.00).

Quinno _ left this review about The Ferryboat Inn
Large tourist trap place majoring on deep fried grub. Little of note décor-wise bar the ship lights and curtained windows. Main selling point for the casual visitor is the decking overlooking the water. Two ales on, Doom Bar and a surprisingly good Pride. The rear room was booked for a wedding reception and Desmond was getting an eyeful of a busty lass in a tight red dress. Your scribe, however, gave his notes due diligence instead.
