My wife and I took my parents here for Sunday lunch to celebrate Father’s Day. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Great Sunday lunch menu and the food was delicious. I recommend the ‘nutless roast’ their very tasty vegetarian option and their roast potatoes are amazing. Also the chocolate brownie was a generous size and dripping with rich chocolate. Very good value too. This pub has a lovely, unpretentious homely feel. So glad to have it as our local!

Generally made to feel welcome, charming friendly atmosphere and amazing food such quality Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

We were taking my 88 year old Dad out for lunch and like to try new places. We arrived at The Ship at 12.30pm and were greeted by a lovely lady behind the bar who took our drinks order and, 10 mins later, a food order. Not overly busy but 20 mins after ordering all customers were warned of a food delay as there was only one person in the kitchen. Oddly, some people who ordered food after ours were served first (maybe theirs were ready meals? At 1.35pm, 55 mins after ordering and still no sign of our meals, we decided to politely pay for the drinks and go. Lovely lady behind the bar was very apologetic. Just as we were about to leave the ‘cook’ came storming out the kitchen, looking very cross saying our food was on its way. He then had the audacity keep berating us, shouting for all to hear, that we had only waited 40 minutes. We only ordered pub regulars of gammon, scampi and fish cakes so maybe timing isn’t his forte! Won’t be going back anytime soon and can’t review the food as it never arrived!
