This wonderful hidden gem, to anyone not under a rock or anywhere near the neighborhood of Fullerton, is a "Gem". It's low ceilings, warm lighting and Authentic Britsh Atmosphere, along with the fact that you can find your regular friends there, and always a new mate at the bartop... is absolutely wonderful. Those who come into The Old Ship know what they're coming in for. The food is most definitely 'pricey', but we are assured it is always made fresh and on the premises daily. We have been coming here for decades, and it was a pleasure to bring my now adult Son to a place that he only sat in booths at as a young boy. Coming back about 15 years later, we learned you can come home. Kourtney, the Bartendar, was wonderful and very gracious. We met great people at the very small 8-9 comfortably seated bar, where the social game is either not there at all or there in abundance. The dinner food is not something I can speak to, only because we order apps/starters and that is usually enough to fill us up. We had the "Garlic Sauteed Mushrooms" with 2 cups of the "Fresh, Daily Made Clam Chowder". It was Divine! The Clam Chowder could have more Clams in it, as it was more of a "Potatoe Soup balance". I'm not complaining about that because it is sufficient, but the price line needs to fit the amount of food you're getting. Just a pinch more clams please. 🤔 Either way...It's so creamy!...and it reminds me of eating right on the waterfront. When you show up at the bartop you can choose to be solo, but remember when you sit at one so small, it is a very social game. Kourtney can handle it, and we were delighted to see her there and watch how well she interacted with the entire restaurant. While she stood behind the bar, she kept pace with everything in the diningroom. We and another couple decided to stay a couple extra hours! Kourtney's continued excellence balancing service to the servers and her bartop group was superior! Her sense of humor was so great as well. Thank you Kourtney! For sh pi wing us we can come home!!! Love ya'll! Debra, Jared, Cari and Matt

Excellent food in a restaurant saturated with old world atmosphere! I had heard about this restaurant several times in the last two years and now I know why; very memorable and definitely not your average chain experience. The service was very good, our waitress, Rusty was very busy but she did her best to keep everyone of her customers happy. The barman Tim was very personable. The Clam Chowder is excellent! I had a side cup (served with delicious heated sourdough bread) with my Fish and Chips (Haddock or Cod.I had the Haddock as our waitress recommended it). The plate included a non-descript Coleslaw and tarter sauce; I wouldn't recommend either. Fries were perfect on the otherhand, thick cut, golden brown and quite tasty. I enjoyed a healthy taste of Cheryl's Shepard Pie (not sure that is what the Ship called it (basically mashed potato covering a bed of tasty beef). I rate The Olde Ship as one of my top 10 for 2018 (I go out to a lot of restaurants... a whole lot). We parked on the side street off of Harbor although I am told they have a small parking lot behind the restaurant. Fullerton and this area are (within 6 blocks to the main downtown area) are very nice loaded with special restaurants, shops and style. The Olde Ship is well worth the money, about $$$ out of four. You will certainly enjoy this quaint artistic restaurant. Hope this review helps you. By: cmilton111 (Google Guide .. Level 9) More than 116 million views on my photos as of 9.30.2018..

Now this is a hidden gem. I didn't expect much as I approached the door but once inside, it was a vibe. I got the fish and chips which 2 pieces were more than enough to fill me considering each piece was the size of a toddler's forearm! My cousin got this pastry that had beef in it with mashed potatoes, peas, and carrots which he let me try and was just as good. Sorry for forgetting g the name. I like dark malty beers like amber ales and the server recommended either the Fullers ESB or Fullers London Pride. I liked both but the ESB was smoother and my cousin went with the Pride which had a bit of a sour after taste which isn't as bad as some may think. We asked for a sample before and she was kind enough to let us try them before which I really appreciated. This is my new favorite bar in Down Town Fullerton, mainly because I prefer beer variety and mellow vibes such as this fitting the profile. Highly recommend!!

If it weren't for the sassy, feisty, yet funny waitress, our meal would have been a bad experience. But because of her liveliness (or aggressiveness? Lol) towards one of my friends it became a memorable experience for us all. Food is very mediocre for it's price point. But the drankss made up for it. Their English Breakfast came with the "fried bread" and it' literally deep fried wonderbread. It's the most horrible thing, a normal toast would have sufficed. Black Pudding for +9 and it's barely a handful. My friend loves her Bangers & mash and the gracy and yorkshire pudding was great together. Get the Chocolate Stout or the fruit beers!! Worth! Their Sticky Toffee Pudding is not that sweet so its perfect! But wluld I come back? Probably not.

The food, services and atmosphere was great. The food was definitely something that will keep me coming back . The Scottish birdie pie crust was chewy, flavorful and the perfect texture. Pair that with the rich flavorful gravy, and it's a match made in heaven. All that with some flavor packed juicy steak, and its got me craving more. The seafood platter was great too. It has a good amount of coating, which turns amazing with the vinegar. All that was amazing, but the highlight is the sticky toffee pudding. Such rich flavor and texture in a bowl of deliciousness! The atmosphere is fantastic too. Definitely got a good pub feel, with out door seating. Can't go wrong wherever you end up sitting. Definitely recommend coming back to this amazing pub

Wes there for St Patrick's day. Had good food and fun time with friends. Was crowded inside, so we went outside. Great weather and there was decent amount of seating. Food was very good. They even had a person playing the bagpipe. Had a great time
