The Ship Inn — Restaurant in England

We booked a table for 2 for 6 p.m. When we arrived,we went to the bar and told the person who we were and he then asked if we wanted drinks before he picked up the menus and asked us to follow him to our table.

We were told that he or a colleague would come and take our order shortly. Once our order had been taken. We only had a short wait.

When the food arrived. We were impressed! We had gone for the set menu of starter, main meal and dessert. The starter was a good sized portion as was the main and dessert. The food was very tasty.

The pub has a narrow walkway up to the dining area. It's just wide enough for one person. Once you are in the dining area there is about 8 tables. There was an additional seating area beyond the first dining area and there was a small beer garden.

The staff were all very nice and polite. They all seemed very busy and very happy to help.

There wasn't a huge wait between being served our food and the plates being cleared. Everything seemed to work really well and the tables were cleared quickly for the next customers.

There wasn't a lot of space in the bar area but it was enough for the people wanting to stand and drink at the bar.

There are toilets. There is a sign in the first dining room which points to where they are. As nobody in our party used them. I just know there are toilets in the Inn.

We were staying at the local Premier Inn and because they couldn't book us in to their restaurant due to a lack of staff. We booked a meal at the Ship Inn. We certainly were glad we did. It certainly was Premier Inn 's loss The directions said that it would take about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel and it was exactly that!

The Ship inn is a great eaterie and the staff definitely deserve recognition.

Took my wife here last night for her birthday Can’t say we will be returning, We purposely try and go somewhere different each time we go out to support our local businesses, upon arrival we had to specifically ask to be served a drink even though it wasn’t very busy menu was served on a sheet of paper no issue but was wrote to be quite a extravagant selection of food setting hopes high for our meal choices I selected king prawns for starter this was really good setting the bar for a main however partner and her friend chose chorizo and wasn’t overly impressed, Also waitress's was not overly happy to be there or doing there job also having a conversation about our table after we didn’t get a chance to say thank you for the drinks we had been served, Next we ordered another drink and my partners half a glass was taken off the table without asking if she had finished Out came the main and looked pretty good However the triple cooked chips are not triple cooked at all and the burger was so dense I couldn’t even eat the whole thing making it non edible the partners meal was also not great neither was her friend pasta meal Took us nearly 45 mins to get the bill and this only happened because we went upto the bar on our way out

£75 pound each it cost us after the bills was split and I believe for what we received this is very over priced for what I would call...

A little gem of a restaurant. We were greeted warmly by staff with a smile, shown to our table and given enough time to settle in before our orders were taken. A Sunday lunch and a sirloin steak with chips and the usual accompaniments was delivered in a good amount of time. Well, where do I start.... I think the steak. I asked for medium rare and boy did they deliver. This was perfectly cooked all the way across. Tasty and succulent with a good quality beef. They chef is talented, no doubt there. Good quality potatoes were used for the chips, Portobello mushrooms, vine cherry tomatoes, and a peppercorn sauce all added to the meal. Along with the pleasant staff was a quaint setting tastefully designed. There's even a log burner for those cosy gatherings. If I was forced to find the most modicum of faults it would be parking, however, this is due to the high standards set, so not a surprise that it was full. There is an option to park on the roadside though so not much of a quibble in fairness.

To sum up.... Lovely staff, nice setting, and beautifully cooked food. I would highly recommend this place. I look forward to...
