Food scene
This restaurant is a lovely place for a Spanish tapas treat. There are 2 sittings - lunch and evening and both are set menus. Lunch is cheaper than dinner and the value and taste for both are spot on. They offer a vegetarian or meat set menu. Highly recommended.

The Tayberry is literally one minute from our place. It’s more expensive than other places in the Ferry but try it for a treat. Try to book the upstairs window table for a lovely romantic spot overlooking the dunes and the Tay!

This place is lovely - 2 brothers own it and the pizzas are made freshly to order and cooked v.quickly in the pizza oven.
Bottled beers and soft drinks also served.
There are also some nostalgic video games inside for playing free of charge and the vibe is bright and fresh inside. They also do take-away but we have only ever sat in for food. Recommend :)

Local authentic Ferry Pub
This a special local spot where they host live music every Thursday evening. Anyone with an instrument interested in playing can just turn up on the night and can play and join in the music fun. If you don't want to play, we recommend you go along for food and the brilliant atmosphere. Booking a table is recommended though as it is always busy. There is a secret beer garden out the back too for warmer weather.

Handy for any forgotten items - it is an express store so quite small but has most items you might need. Also on BF High Street and slightly closer than the M&S Food Court.

This is a lovely independent fruit and veg shop on Gray Street by the train station.
They also do lots of organic produce and lovely freshly baked loafs.
A little more expensive than your high street shops but understandable being an independent store.
