Best pub in Ripley. Been coming here for years and get on with all the locals. Great beer and snack selection. Lovely on a summer or winters evening. Highly recommended. No meals served. Update August 2024 Becky and Tim have been running The Ship Inn since December 2023 and they are absolutely smashing it! The pub is lively, full of locals, regulars, walkers, visitors, friends and families every day of the week! The beer is perfect, the snacks and food now served is absolutely on point! The live music and events are incredible and the monthly quiz is second to none! What a great atmosphere they have brought back to the heart of Ripley! If you're in Ripley for ANY reason and you don't pop in you're an absolute fool! Get down to The Ship Inn and join in the fun, have a nice cold pint and some snacks and relax!!!!

Favourite pub in the area! Wonderful atmosphere, staff and the locals are extremely friendly.

What a quirky and interesting pub. I am 6'4" so no way I could stand up straight. So warning to tall people: you will eventually hit your head once you have had a few!

Very welcoming pub with genuinely passionate owners who care so much for the pub and their locals. It's a truly unique old pub with a large fire place and wooden beams. You can imagine life there 1600's as it still has that historical timeless feel. The building is so interesting and the owners really enjoyed sharing their knowledge of the history with me that made the visit that much more enjoyable. It's perfect for an afternoon coffee or an evening drink. Good selection of drinks to choose from. Some great bar snacks to. Keep an eye out for live music as it's a brilliant atmosphere when a folk band are playing there. Used to be known as a 'locals' pub which may have been off putting but I'm not that local and the few times I have been now I have chatted with the locals and staff and been made to feel very welcome. I look forward to my next visit when I will be bringing along family and friends. Well done owners, 10/10
