A really great British pub. Considering it's practically in the middle of nowhere it's hard to work out where all the people are coming from. Full of cute girls in the big bar, barbecue chefs outside serving scores of people. Youngs bitter exceptional at £2.70. Staff were of the pretty variety but quite efficient and smiley, considering it was packed there was never any wait at the bar. This pub makes a change from the boring, quiet pubs I've had to endure recently. Very highly recommended.

I've had some great meals at The Ship in the past, but the last couple of times I have been for lunch at the weekend the food has been pretty nasty - avoid the bangers and mash and the burgers.


Plus, the service at The Ship is terrible. What is going on? Please don't let your standards slip or we'll have to go to The Alma all the time instead.

The Ship is a great venue to watch fireworks on Guy Fawkes night.

I love The Ship - especially in the summer as the outdoor section and BBQ by the river really come into their own. You might not think it from where it is but this is an absolutely excellent and buzzing pub. Highly recommended!
