On perusing the Good Pub Guide we decided to visit the above for dinner and, on arrival, it looked very inviting. As it was Bank Holiday Monday there was a limited menu! I ordered the homemade fish cakes (these were lovely) and the roast dinner, which unfortunately for £13.50 was very small. ( A couple of slices of beef, 3... More

On our way back to London we stopped at the Ship after being recommended the place for good food. It was Easter Sunday and we hadn't booked but the staff were happy to find us a table. The food was top drawer and the service very helpful and friendly. We will definitely return next time we go down to Dorset.

I'm really sad to write this, but after years of it being a family favourite (even took the in laws to reveal our first pregnancy here 2011) it really isn't the same. We used to be blown away by a tasty, pub meal. Tonight we went with our 1 year old. Stood at the bar for a while until being... More

I hesitate to give bad reviews as I never want to adversely affect local businesses, however, our experience of Sunday lunch was so awful, I feel that I have to. My husband and I and our 2 year old daughter visited The Ship on Sunday 10th February. I chose The Ship as I believed that they would serve good quality... More

Both parties battled through snow which. although it did not lay, could not have encouraged trade and thus it was VERY quiet. However there was an extensive Menu AND an almost... More

Went with a friend on Friday evening. Really excellent staff: attentive, friendly, helpful, all you could wish for. My friend chose the haddock and chips - served on a slate, looked beautiful and tasted delicious. I chose the crab linguini - really, really good. We couldn't manage a pudding but really enjoyed our evening. My only gripe is that the... More

I met my cousin at the Ship for Lunch 2 days ago. Extensive menu which in my book not always a good sign. We both had the fish fillet. When it came it was on a bed of HEAPED mashed potatoes and onion. There were tomatoes on the side of the plate and watercress but it was a job to... More

Chose "Thai Beef Curry" from the specials menu. A truely excellent dish with plenty of peppers and strips of tender beef. Well prepared with a portion of rice, mango chutney and papadom. Hopefully this meal will remain on their menu.
