Excellent Food and Service

Visited today 16/02/2019 for lunch, friendly welcome and attentive service. I had the Sea Bass risotto, my wife had the Burger, both meals were really excellent. No complaints at all, thoroughly recommended.

Dear marketh9 Thanks so much for a great review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the food and that our team made you feel welcome. We very much hope to see you back at The Ship soon!

Last minute decision - and a good one

Outstanding welcome, food and atmosphere. Visiting with friends from overseas, the pub staff made us welcome and the food was superb. We were looking for somewhere to eat post a walk to the Castle, also v recommended, and the Ship was open. Dogs welcomed as well.
