- DPDerek PoynorAug 4, 20265.0I meet up here every couple of months with my ex work colleagues. Excellent food, especially the fish & chips. A good selection of beers.
- SWStu WhiteleyJul 25, 20265.0Been going to the ship since the late 1970s. Lovely pub.
- SMSue McGregorJul 11, 20263.0Food not as good as the previous visit and portion size seemed rather small too
- MPmonster popsicleJul 7, 20265.0Well this is on you're doorstep. Just had a lovely lunch. Steak and ale pie with mash n vedge. Also gravy my parner had a double burger with a huge side of proper cooked onion rings and peppercorn sauce. This was all restaurant quality and ive esten in just a few lol. The place is deceiving from the outside. Inside its huge with a well kept garden area. The young lady monique who served us was really nice and polite. All in all cannot fault the ship.i gave only 3 stars for atmosphere but it was a Tuesday afternoon. I would definitely recommend this place if taking a nice drive out.thankyou to the chef and staff..oh and its dog friendly and has a kids play area
- GMGraeme McGregorJul 2, 20263.0Had a lovely sea bass with broad bean risotto. Others in the party not so lucky and quality of food was an issue for them. One who is a massive lamb fan said he wouldn't have the lamb shank again as it was tough. Another had a burger he took only one mouthful of as it was dry. Others had issues too. I can only say mine was lovely, if a smallish portion that still left me hungry. My apple pie was also nice. Others said the dessert portions were tiny.
