Such a quaint pub, steeped in history and atmosphere. It gets top marks for being dog friendly too. Came for an anniversary meal, and was not disappointed. Super food and drink, well presented and very reasonably priced. What is not to like?

One of my favourite pubs in town! The food was delicious I had a burger and chips. Aria was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, including changing the sauce that came with my burger. Thank you aria! We will be back.

After reading the reviews, I booked a table for three at The Ship on a Saturday night and we were not let down. The restaurant was packed, so booking in advance is a must. The venue was fantastic. Our food arrived promptly after ordering, and we were able to order from our table using an app. The beer was top-notch and reasonably priced, and the friendly staff made the experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning.
