The Ship Inn — Restaurant in North Norfolk

After visiting Sheringham and wanting a pub lunch that's dog friendly I did some research and found The Ship Inn. We even went out our way to this pub because it looked so good. The car par is a touch small but if people park correctly and with consideration all is good. There are a few tables outside the front door but at the bottom of the car park is a wonderful beer garden with around 13 tables or so and each has a unbrella for shade of the sun.

Drinks I had a pint of East Coast IPA which was really good. The wife had a Knob Creek Whisky and coke which was also good. The kid had standard J2O and the price was £7 which for today isn't to bad I think.

You couldn't keep a open tab which I normally like to do incase I can squeeze a extra pint in but each pub to their own but they missed out on my having another pint.

Moving to the food the wife had a Crab Sandwich on brown bread. It looked awesome and I had a bite for this review and it tasted as good as it looked. Wonderful fresh crab in a nice sauce and nice chunks of crab that hadn't been turned into a mush. Really really good. There was some crispy salad and crisps on the plate which made it enough for her. My kid had a Duck wrap with Hoisin Sauce which has cucumber and spring onion in there to. I didn't try that as the greedy guts wouldn't let me because it tasted so nice. This brings me to mine. I had a Crispy Prawn wrap with salad and a sauce. It was bloody wonderful!!! The crispy bread crumbs around the prawns was amazing and tasty. It really made the wrap perfect. I can't say how good this was you to have to try it yourselfs. To finish our meal I ordered a side portion of chips and a side portion of cheesey chips. These were chips with the skins left on for the fuller flavour and fried. Proper chips that seem to have been cooked in the good old fashion way.

The food cost me £27 which again I don't think is to bad. The staff were efficient and polite. The pub itself was clean and tidy and the fact when we left the pub beer garden was full of people with dogs made this a great place to be.

We liked it that much were going again. Well done to The Ship Inn.

Went back to The Ship again the next as we enjoyed it so much the previous day. I had a IPA but can't remember what it was called but it had elderflower in it and I also had a pint of Steam larger. Both were really good.

Food wise the wife had The Crab Sandwich which was just as good as yesterday and the child had a meatball wrap. Once again they wouldn't let me have a try for the review but it looked good and they said it tasted really good to.

Now for mine. I went for the Fish, Chips and mushy peas with tartare sauce and was not disappointed. I normally keep away from fish and chips in a pub because I tend to get bones which put me off but I risked it to see how good the place is. The result, 2 bones right at the end of the tale which is always a hot spot for fish bones. Apart from that the fish was perfect!!!! A real crispy batter that tasted oh so good. The actual fish was lovely and white all of the through and piping hot. This was all finished off with a fine tartare sauce. This was one of the best fish and chip meals I've ever had.

Not sure what it is around this area but are all mushy peas dry? I'm not complaining as I like them but from round my way they're have a bit more juice with them.

But overall this is one of the best little pubs I have been to and highly recommended...

What a find! Stayed for three nights' B&B this Easter. The Ship provides a warm, welcoming environment that's exceedingly clean and beautifully presented. The owners and staff are absolutely great and work as a very solid team, which is reflected in the friendly atmosphere.

Our room looked exactly like the promo shots, it was tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, with thoughtful facilities. The comfortable king-size bed and pillows (a combo of medium- and soft-weight) came with good quality linen and duvet. The walk-in shower was great, the basin a good size (not one of those annoying ones you have to mop-up round after use!), and the perfect number of good quality fluffy towels were supplied. The room was quiet and, together with the blackout curtains, made for three great nights' sleep.

Breakfasts were excellent, and generous. Even the tea was good too (very rare)! After eating in the restaurant on night #1 we decided to do the same for the following two evenings. We did a pretty good tour of the menu and it was almost perfect, the service was certainly perfect. Although very busy and fully booked, B&B guests get preferential booking in the restaurant, but of course you do have to book ahead. The garden is quiet, well equipped with tables and beautifully planted.

This is a long review, I didn't want to miss anything(!) and know from experience how difficult it can be to find a good place where you'll feel gives good value for your hard-earned money. The Ship at Weybourne is a VERY good place, we will definitely stay...

We had a very good meal at this pub, and at that point we decided to book the same table for the following Saturday, which was our 20th wedding anniversary. When we arrived at the pub five minutes before we were due to be seated, we noticed that the table we had booked was occupied, so we asked the staff how long the table was going to be, only to be told that the pub PC software had re-allocated our table as we were just a party of two people!!! The alternative we were offered was a tiny round table, shoved between a table for four and a table for at least six, the latter being occupied by a family which were allowing their young children to run around the bar area! As the table we had originally booked was in the nice restaurant area to the rear of the pub, it is fair to say that we were seriously disappointed, and as we had stated when we re-booked the table that it was for a special occasion, the lady who took the booking never mentioned that we would not be able to have that table. What made it worse was the attitude of the chap behind the bar, he offered no apology whatsoever. Giving a review like this is a real shame, as the meal we had on our previous visit was very good and we were really looking forward to another nice meal there, and had it been any other day, we would have probably just accepted another table in a different part of the pub, but as we clearly stated it was our wedding anniversary when we re-booked, the outcome was totally unacceptable, and the staffs attitude has led me to write...
