The Ship Tavern in London offers an exceptional dining experience that blends fantastic food, warm hospitality, and a cozy, nautical-themed atmosphere. Every dish we tried was outstanding, showcasing both high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. Our meal included brisket, beef wellington, sourdough, and a kids’ turkey dish for the little ones—all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. For drinks, we had Inch’s cider and Coldharbour beer, both perfectly refreshing and a great match for the meal. The smoked brisket and beef wellington —perfectly cooked with rich, savory flavors. Fully recommend it. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. While the prices are on the higher side, it feels justified given the exceptional quality of the food and service. The atmosphere is phenomenal, with its ship-inspired décor creating a charming and welcoming vibe. It’s the perfect blend of traditional pub warmth and unique thematic touches, making it a memorable spot for both families and foodies. Overall, The Ship Tavern delivers on all fronts—great food, drinks, ambiance, and service. A must-visit if you’re in London!

My husband & I stopped by this pub after exploring the British Museum. It was easily the best food & experience that we had in London. The staff was very kind to us lost Americans & let us eat there between reservations so that we could experience the full menu. We were so extremely grateful for this. We had excellent drinks & the BEST Fish & Chips/Sunday Roast. We've been recommending this pub to anyone who will listen because it is THAT good. We can't thank them enough for making our honeymoon so special & going out of their way for us when they did not have to do so.

My wife and I recently visited The Ships Tavern with hopes of enjoying a classic fish and chips dinner—and wow, did it exceed our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfectly setting the tone for a great dining experience. The fish and chips were absolutely fantastic—crispy batter, fresh fish, and perfectly cooked chips that left us thoroughly impressed. The portion size for the fish was huge, making it incredible value for money. For dessert, we opted for the baked hot apple pie, and it was absolutely outstanding. The rich, warm filling paired with the perfectly flaky crust was pure comfort food bliss. It was the perfect sweet finish to an already amazing meal. The highlight of our visit, however, was the exceptional service. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly throughout the evening. A special mention goes to one young staff member who went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I were well looked after. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our experience made all the difference. We would highly recommend The Ships Tavern for anyone looking for quality food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful Pub inside and out. Dog friendly, staff are great, coffee & wine were good. Will definitely be back to eat as the food on the menu looked really tasty and unlike the typical pub fare... Came back for food, wasn't disappointed at all. Great tasting food cooked perfectly.

I am a regular customer of the Oak Room at The Ship Tavern and it is one of my favourite places to have a meal for many reasons. I usually have their Beef Wellington, as it is one of my favourite dishes, but even the starters are all well cooked and tasty. Also, their sticky toffee pudding is divine and I like how they serve it with clotted cream instead of ice cream like many other places. However, what really makes The Ship Tavern special is the amazing staff. Everyone (and I mean everyone) is friendly, helpful and welcoming. Even when they are very busy, they make time to make sure you are comfortable or just have a quick chat. It really makes a difference. I always look forward to my next visit to The Ship Tavern and definitely recommend it if you want to have great British food in a friendly and relaxing environment.
