We fell upon the pub in the middle of Christchurch high street looking for some lunch. The frontage, although very nice, didn't really do the inside justice. The service, from the moment we entered until we left was excellent and was only trumped by the delicious food, wine and shipyard ale. An excellent experience 👏

Made a quick bus trip over to Christchurch for the stomp in the quomp weekend. It was killing time before the event started and I noticed the sign out front that said they had a nice garden. Popped in when they just opened so it was still pretty slow. But the bartender was fast to take my drink order and pour me a glass of wine and told me to have a seat wherever I'd like. I sat out back and while I was the only one there, two employees came out and were very sociable. I had a great view of the nearby Christian center. I only rated a 4 because I didn't get a chance to try the food. I want to leave that window open for those that have actually had that experience. It was clear this place was a hit because multiple people started coming in not too far after. Loved the ambiance, really cool inside aesthetics and a beautiful patio.

We absolutely love The Ship. The Thai food is top quality and authentic. And absolutely delicious. Decent sized portions too. The staff are lovely and always warm, friendly and efficient. We always eat here when we visit Christchurch. Oh, they are dog friendly too. Absolutely love this place and cannot say enough nice things!!

First time visit 24/02/24 and we had a great evening. The food was the best we have all had in a long time. Food was super tasty and so much of it, i did suggest maybe they could do a smaller appetite plate. Between us we had the sharing platter for 4, panang lamb shank curry, chicken katsu curry and chicken pad thai. The waitress was lovely and looked after us well, making sure everything was ok, drinks etc..... i didnt catch her name apologies !! All in all food, atmosphere and service thoroughly deserves 5 stars, would give more if it allowed, and the manageress even organised us a taxi home. Thankyou again, we will be back soon
