Reviews
We fancied some good homemade pub food and we were not disappointed. Often pubs have homecooked on the menu but homemade is harder to find. There was a good selection of specials on the board on top of a pleasing selection of staple pub classics in the menu.
The food was very good, piping hot and the portions were generous.
The bar area was cosy, comfortable and had a good selection of beers, wines, etc, as you'd hope. What I like about the Old Ship is the querky mix of open seating at ground level and the inviting central bar that faces stairs that take you down to the even more cosy and low ceilinged seated area below. Sometimes the open fire is on and it brings a lovely warmth to this old tavern.
It has a friendly feel to the place and is more traditionally presented which I love.
Food and drinks are ordered at the bar which is fine but I think the staff that were delivering food could be a bit more attentive and proactive. Also the seat my wife sat on was filthy... perhaps from dogs? Otherwise we really enjoyed it and will definitely be back soon.
Really enjoyed our Sunday Roast here! Lovely atmosphere and a delicious food!
We came without booking, but the place got full up really quick and some tables did have a "reserved" card on. So to avoid disappointment it might be worth securing a table beforehand. Especially on a Sunday.
Service was excellent, portions really good and food very tasty. We had Chicken Roasts - one small portion and one regular. Small portion was normal size for me, so I was actually very full afterwards!
I highly recommend this place!
First time here, and loved the old fashioned quaintness , with the fireplaces dark wood and similar atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and ales. Staff were friendly and explained the history of the Inn.
This was a meal for 14. The staff were very welcoming. They made it easy for us to split the bill into 3 units. Food arrived promptly, well presented & good quality. A very nice evening had by everyone. Full marks to The Old Ship crew.
Very welcoming traditional pub. Well maintained and cosy. Great atmosphere and very friendly welcome. Food was outstanding and well proportioned for the price. Would highly recommend.

"Cute little pub with really lovely staff. The fish and chips did have quite a lot of batter but made up for it with generous ice cream scoops! Halloum..."
