Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent pub and staff, couldn't fault anything. All staff were friendly, very helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We didn't eat here but what food we saw being served looked great and excellent prices. Next time in the area will certainly make a point of visiting and having a meal. Thank you so much to all staff at The Ship :-)

Had a nice evening meal here with the family. We had steak, ham egg and chips, fish and chips and 2 salads all of good quality and portion size. The service was efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend it good for all the family

I love this place! My Bestest M8 suggested this pub as a venue for a lunch to celebrate my 60th birthday with a few friends and their dogs. My Son is a wheelchair user and was able to navigate quite easily too. The low ceiling beams and open fire were very welcoming. From the off, the staff were extremely helpful efficient & friendly. The other patrons were lovely. The food was lovely. Generous portions. Well cooked and very tasty. My friends were naughty. They'd got me a cake! The whole pub sang Happy Birthday to me. Erkkkk. I had trouble getting a cab home for my son & I. The staff made sure we weren't hassled out to make way for others. Very caring! We are going to visit again. We love it at The Ship. Thank you for the wonderful experience. 👍💯

I was stopping nearby and decided to dine in here one evening. The landlady was friendly but the menu was a bit limited and the pub was quite dark and dingy. I went for a two course meal of breaded mushrooms which consisted of pretty much breadcrumbs and a Turkish chicken skewer which was excellent. The beer wasn’t the best as flat. What really disappointed me was that the bill automatically included 10% service charge. I didn’t revive great service which is what I usually tip for but had no choice here.

Really nice Sunday roast - both the turkey and beef were excellent. We were able to get in without a booking but think we just got lucky. I think Covid has thrown them off though because actually getting shown to our table was really odd - the lady in charge seemed confused about where we could and couldn't sit and in the end we just went for a table outside which was fine. Cutlery got forgotten, then we got forgotten, the service just seemed to lack any coordination. Food definitely a 4 but service, nah.

A group of us from the UK, Sweden, Canada and Spain are watercolour artist friends, and we all met up for the weekend, and one of the things on our 'To Do List' was to have a Sunday Roast. We definitely made the right choice when we decided on The Ship. What an amazing place for a Sunday lunch! The Ship has the lovely feel and decor of a traditional English pub. Really homely and welcoming! The food was absolutely delcious, and there was most definitely both quantity and quality! As for the service from Jo and Sarah, well, it was stellar! They were amazing, and looked after us so well! They were extremely attentive, and very patient with our quirky requests! They both helped to make our experience at The Ship such a wonderful one!

We often drop into the Ship during quiet times for a quick drink. My wife is in a wheelchair, has Parkinson's and dementia (how bad can it get?). Sarah always has a smile and looks after her. Making a point of speaking to her. Alway brings a smile to me. Even at times served us at the table so I do not have to leave her. I had a well deserved pint of Punk today (normally I only have a 1/2, my wife an extreemly small lemonade with a straw. A small but important highlight to our day. Kinds thanks to all the caring staff at the Ship

Had an impromptu stop off at the Ship with friends and our children. The staff welcomed us in and juggled the tables around so that they could seat us. The 2 ladies that served us were so nice, helpful, great with the kids and nothing too much trouble. Sarah and Keira are an asset to the Ship. The best service I have received in a very long time!

Friendly staff, truly made us and our dog feel welcome. Food was tasty and reasonable in price. Nice to see vegetarians catered for. I also liked that our waitress washed her hands after saying hello to our dog. Hygiene is important to me in the kitchen. Our greyhound was even given a biscuit as a goodbye treat. Can’t wait to go back.

We popped in for a Sunday roast and loved it. Freshly cooked, generous and delicious. Special mention to the cauliflower cheese available as an extra. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, good cask beer. A real gem.

First class food and first class service. Food we had was great and the ham, egg and chips that I had was fantastic. Service by Liz was friendly and attentive and fun. Great knowledge of the menu. Will be back again and will have the roast next time!

My wife and I had our 1St date here 7 yrs ago, We have visited several times over the years. Today's visit was by far our most enjoyable, friendly welcome with pleasant service and lovely food. One of IF not the most pleasurable eating out experiences I've had.

Went to The Ship with a friend for dinner and a few drinks. Superb service and really tasty food. One of the best nights I have had in the UK. A pub with a historic background. Our server Sarah was truly exceptional. I hope she is paid well because she deserves it. I watched her serve several tables with the same zest and enthusiasm. She made our night.

I visited The Ship on Saturday evening after eating at Razza across the road. The ship is a very nice traditional pub with friendly staff. It is dog-friendly too, which is always good. There were few dogs in the garden, so in between drinks, we fussed over them. It was a good evening all in all.
