Knots Bar & Restaurant

This converted Norwegian passenger ferry, now a charming bar and restaurant,
is opportunely located on Farndon’s picturesque marina, surrounded by 400
other fine vessels. Richard Machin and Zoe Harrison welcome one-and-all
aboard to relax with a pint of traditional ale and a light bite in the bar. Many
choose to make a night of it by booking into the restaurant, which offers an

extensive, seasonally changing à la carte menu courtesy of the skilled chefs.
Within the brand new kitchen, they use only the best local ingredients from
Newark’s farms and markets.
The passion for great presentation, quality and attention to detail is not limited
to the food – it is evident in everything at Knots, from the ambience to the
service. With its unique setting and lovely decor, including many a maritime
feature and photograph, Knots strives to offer a comfortable atmosphere and the
utmost relaxation for its guests. The team also hosts live entertainment evenings
each month. Visit on Thursdays for pieand-
a-pint night or Friday evenings to
enjoy fresh fish and chips for just £5.
On Sunday a traditional three-course
roast is served for £10.95; later, dust
off the old general knowledge for quiz night from 9pm, plus lively Irish
bingo. It’s worth noting that after 5pm the marina has limited access, but
give Richard a quick ring and you’ll be inside enjoying all Knots has to
offer in no time.
