Ship Inn in West Lancashire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went for a drink and something to eat. Ordered the drink and went to sit in the garden. It was a just awful. Looked like trees had been cut. But the massive leaves where everywhere, so much so the were a trip hazard. The garden overall was in a terrible state. They the barman came out with food. He looked like he had not changed I clothes in weeks. Zip broken on his trousers. The stem on my glass was filthy. Picked ourselves up and left. Used to be such a nice place, what a shame

Nigel hospitality and his staff are friendly and go the extra mile chefs food is amazing 10 out of 10 homemade reached our expectations thank you me my partner and my dog felt we needed this trip and food thank youX

Avoid if your looking for a good meal meal however a nice place for a drink by the canal. Waited half an hour to order at the bar. Waited another 45 mins for food asked for sauces etc just got ignored. And to be served the worst steak you could ask for. There’s better places on the canal 5 mins away.

I've had an amazing steak here years ago so thought I'd try lunch there as the weather was nice in the week. Disabled parking is great, two spaces right by the entrance. It's changed now to order at the bar service. Ordered steak strips with sweet chilli sauce for starter and Cajun chicken burger for main. You get given a bucket with your cutlery and napkins and and a spoon with a number on. Noticed all the cutlery had water spots on them. The food came out about 25 mins later but they brought the starter and main out together. Not an issue but they didn't ask me first. No condiments on the table so you had to ask which wasn't the best. Steak strips were cooked and tasted great and the sweet chilli sauce was more chilli than sweet but in a good way. The chicken breast was cooked great , nice and juicy but the Cajun spice I really couldn't taste if I'm honest. Fries were ok but you got a tiny hospital pill cup size of coleslaw and it didn't taste that good. I noticed a couple of people taking their food back and everyone was constantly going back to the bar to order more drinks which doesn't help when your having a meal or trying to get the waitresses attention but there was only two of them and they were serving drinks also at the bar also I had half a lager and the bill came to £22.20 which wasn't bad. Overall the food was good but the lack of table service and the no condiments on the table and having to go back to the bar every time you wanted more drinks and the water marks on all the cutlery Just put me off. I know this is a new owner or manager so fingers crossed these are teething problems as the location is great and the food I've had from here over the years has been great.

Great food. Situated by canal ideal for walkers. Dog friendly. Can get busy due to popularity so at peak times bokking recommended especially for larger groups.

High-quality food and drink in this very pleasant country pub. Sitting outside in the warm weather, right on the bank of a nice section of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, eating a steak and cheese salad wrap and watching the wildlife do its thing is heaven. The menu will suit just about anyone. The staff are very welcoming, and the chef alone deserves five stars 🌟 . I'll definitely be back 👍🏻

Waited 50 minutes for food which was over cooked and lacked presentation. We ordered 6 meals and I cannot say that any of them were passable. Black burnt chips on plate and had to ask for condiments and some cutlery. One person serving behind the bar /serving meals. Overall a very disappointing visit and definitely would not recommend.

Called in for lunch on Weds 17th as we had been told it had reopened and food was back on. This is following the sudden departure of the previous manager of only 6 months. Seemed fairly busy. Staff a little at sixes and sevens but they had literally just started that day and we’re still finding their feet. They were very apologetic for some confusion ordering food but they were pleasant and helpful. Nice lunch in nice surroundings. Quite sure they have it sorted by now so looking forward to returning soon. Good varied menu also.

2 people in when we got there. That I'm guessing was the manager and barmaid. Ridiculous prices. £4.90 for a pint of carlsberg . How does that even work ? Obviously it doesn't judging by the amount of customers. Had pint and left. Won't be returning

We called in one off chance as said motor homes could stay with prior consent. We found out it had just reopened. The lovey lady and a gentleman said we could stay in there carpark and had just been open since. friday. As there was going to be no food on till Tuesday we still had drinks which an highly recommend. Looking forward to next time trying there food. Lovely place side of canal great outdoor seating area. Please support and hoping that more people will call in also people with campers & motor homes. Good luck to the new manager.

Shocking service waited well over an hour for our roast dinners. Very limited menu, the ship has seriously gone down hill rapidly recently and it’s shame to see as a local for years. It’s closed most week days and seem to come up with an excuse every time.

Waited for almost an hour for bland tasteless roast chicken dinner. Not good value for money. Disappointing as most of the staff are friendly enough, wouldn’t return or recommend.

Great selection of nice beers, a friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. Food was great too! Would definitely recommend.

Great friendly staff, looking forward to meeting them all again in September, for Abby’s birthday bring on the celebrations

Waited over 30mins for food which l didn’t mind waiting at first. Ordered a burger and chicken roast dinner. Burger came but they presented a beef roast dinner 🙄 I told the waiter straight away and was told it would be another 25 min for chicken roast dinner l said no. As it would have meant waiting overall around 1 hour for food also eating on my own. So I opted for the fish and chips instead. Stingy with the chips for the fish and chips. Absolutely annoyed at the whole experience. I wouldn’t recommend eating here!

The food was passable. However the service was slow and the table attention minimal. Someone needs training at customer service Maybe I've been spoiled elsewhere.

To all you boaters out there..... take away / delivery avaliable. The best fish n chips.... lovely new owners 😍

First time in this pub and all seems decent. The beer garden is on the canal with great views in the background. Cant comment on dood as i didn't eat. Almoat £5 a pint is kind of standard

Very disappointing after coming here on and off for years and the food always delicous. Probably wort fish and chips we have had. Completely tasteless and horrible over cooked batter. Frozen, cheap chips. £14 each. Lunch menu has completely changed. Nice enough staff. I told two waitresses when they asked how our food was when we finished that it wasn't good. Manager took our money. Nothing mentioned by him , so don't think the waitresses told him what I said. Paid bill and left. Won't be going back. Shame as such beautiful surroundings. Would not recommend. Mains on lunch menu at lunch are fish and chips, veggie burger and Ceaser salad. That's it. Really need to rethink menu and quality. It's expensive to eat out now, so quality really needs improving.

Lovely newly decorated pub. Right beside the canal so great on summer days. Staff very friendly, good food and service

Huge queue out of the bar, not sure if this is typical or not. Really nice soup,a bit disappointed with the main course, a veggie burger, as it was a bit dry. Needs to be served with some sort of dressing/relish

The food is nice but didn't have some bits from the menu available. (Fries & Chicken) Lots of drinks on draft unavailable, including coke as the gas had gone. Was told they'd have a delivery at midday but this didn't seem to happen. However this may not have been the pubs fault to be fair. Beautiful surroundings, interior and exterior is stunning. Wheelchair accessibility great. Parking fine. In relation to the previous review I am the lady who hired her own bouncy castle and it was for my daughter's christening. I had spoken with the owners Helen and Paul on the Monday regarding my daughter's christening on the Sunday. I was buying buffet food at £11/12 a head for 30, I also had children attending all around ages 1-4. I was advised we'd have our own area in the pub/garden sectioned off which was lovely and a space I could put my own bouncy castle as the pub also hire a couple for customers. Given the children attending the christening being so young I thought it best I hire my own. Helen advised me a family had done the same the week prior. I decided to use the same company the pub used for their castles to save any confusion and as I thought they'd be less likely to let me down if also delivering the pubs castles. When I arrived at the pub the castle I had hired had been put up not where we were meant to sit but across the other side of the pub. There were lots of older children on it, a football team age 11+. I obviously wanted it next to were I'd hired because the children in our party where much younger. The ones who were 11+ where literally climbing on the roof of the castle making it dangerous for the little ones and turning the castle off and on again. I spoke with a table of adults who where with the football team and asked that they didn't climb on the roof and explained id hired it privately for the little ones to use and didnt want one of them to end up hurt. Who appeared to be their football coach asked the older children not to climb on the roof. I spoke only to one staff member, Matt, and explained the issue. Id paid £100 for the castle. People were also in the area we'd been told would be reserved for the christening Party but this was quickly resolved. Myself and Matt went outside and the older children where again on the roof of the castle causing it to go down ontop of my 3year old daughter. I asked Matt if my family could move it to where it was meant to be, he told me I'd have to ask the owners (Helen and Paul) who wasn't there or the castle company would need to move it. During this conversation I received a text from the Helen saying they where on their way and didn't appreciate the way her staff was being spoken which I found odd as I'd only spoken to one staff member and he was fine and stood in front of me at the time. I showed him the message and he too was confused. I tried ringing the castle company but they said the staff at the pub had told them where to put it but the staff denied this saying it'd just been dumped and they wasn't aware. Paul the owner came, he had no issues with my family moving the castle to where was agreed and helped my family move the castle. The rest of the day was fine. I did ask for a tray of chips and some garlic bread and when I went to pay that was an additional £35 which I thought was steap and questioned it, Matt then said he'd put it through wrong and it was £25. As I say the food and pub itself was lovely, the castle issue was clearly just a mistake/communication error. But if I've paid £100 to hire it for my daughter's christening and she's unable to use it due to older kids climbing on top of it then obviously I have to raise this issue and look to resolve it. I appreciate the pub was busy but I was asking that my family move it to where it was meant to be (by our reserved seating area/buffet) so we could try to enjoy the rest of my daughter's day. The whole event was costing a lot of money so I'm sorry the previous lady didn't think I should trouble the staff on a busy day but if I'm paying for something the I should be able to use it.

Booked here for a large party of 30+ Sunday 19th 12 girls celebrating their football team and parents. From my initial phone call with owners who were so helpful with the booking from start to finish. They even kept me updated as to whether they'd be able to have inflatables on the beer garden depending on the weather otherwise they'd reserve our space inside. Helen, the owner said they can get a bouncy castle/inflatble without any extra charge & obviously that would be available for the any kids visiting the pub which I was happy about as you can't stop kids from joining in with the fun! Helen also sent me a photo of where she'd reserved us some benches as they don't usually reserve outside space, her photo showed two inflatables so I was made up! When we got there there was a 3rd bouncy castle next to all the others so we thought nothing of it & all the kids jumped on! About an hour into us being there the kids mentioned a lady had been over to say they all need to get off as she had paid for it. This was then mentioned a 2nd time by the kids & then we seen the lady speaking to them but she never came over to mention to any one of the adults in our party, nevertheless we told them to not go on it as after seeing Helens initial photo then we realised this mustn't be for the whole pubs use! A little while later Paul the owner came over to us to explain that another party was there and they had declined using the inflatables the pub had offered and ordered their own but the company delivering just put it with the rest of them. The other party then deflated the bouncy castle themselves and moved it across the beer garden right next to the canal where they wanted it!! The staff went above and beyond to carry on trying to serve while this party seemed to be taking up a lot of the staffs time trying to make this right for them! Unfortunately there is no pleasing some people & they should have taken this issue up with their bouncy castle company and not the poor staff on such busy day!! Fortunately for us the day was amazing and the beer garden sits along the canal which is gorgeous, we all ordered food at different times but all arrived in reasonable time and were lovely. We all said how fab it was and that we needed to make it our regular meet up! Thanks Helen & Paul we'll see u again soon!

Got to say, I'm here today and what a fantastic view and outside area, beautiful weather for the occasion. 1st issue. So, there was a christening going on whilst we were there, there was some arguments over their bouncy castle being set up in the main section of the garden rather than where their function was happening. There was another party happening with loads of bigger kids jumping and climbing all over theirs whilst they had little kids trying to play on it, getting knocked out of the way and some of the bigger kids kept turning it off and jumping on it. After about half an hour they eventually moved it for them but the female owner seemed like she was looking for a fight, sounded aggressive and you could hear her arguing with the girl who was stressed and clearly upset, near to tears. Afterwards you could hear the owner complaining down her phone and clearly angry that her day has been ruined being called in. Her husband/partner also owner was lovely, he was really pleasant and clearly making and effort to sort it out and genuinely lovely with the other customer and spoke to myself. 2nd issue. Only draft beer available was carlsberg or a variation of coors light, everything else was off. Draft soft drinks also off or flat as they couldn't get the gas to work. When we arrived there was at least 12 people queuing up for the bar with only 1 girl serving, after about 10 minutes another jumped on which helped, but only when you get to the bar are you being told about the drinks issues. As I was leaving, they've told everyone that they've now completely ran out of beer. Everything is now off at the bar except for bottles which is Newcastle brown. For a day like today, amazing weather, going here is beautiful but there's no drinks available which is such a shame. Had some food and it was brilliant, there was also a guy working in and out with a beard and going bald on top, he was fantastic.

Lovely pub , great food and gorgeous setting next to canal.

Just stopped for a cup of tea , friendly staff , nice place

Had heard good vibes since Phil and Helen took over and did Thursday quiz night recently which was very good. So a sunny Sunday afternoon popped to beer garden. Plenty of room and choice of beers. Pleasant staff and very helpful. Opted to pub lunch from varied menu and from cheeseburger and fries for myself and wife on gammon egg and chips we thoroughly enjoyed. Very tasty, decent portion. Recommended to pop by whether a drink or meal.

Beautiful traditional English pub which serves a great Sunday dinner. Dog friendly as well, excellent friendly and helpful staff and manager

Unfortunately a massive let down since I last came, long wait times and the food was below average. Seems to be understaffed, and staff looked incredibly stressed. The only plus from this trip was more drink choices since last time I came. Hope this is just a bumpy start for new owners and will sort it out soon as such a shame as a lovely pub and location.

We really did enjoy our lunch. We had Prawn sandwiches and the prawns were delicious and so many of them. And home made Sweet potato and coconut soup I would really recommend it . The service was excellent. And such a lovely setting right by the Canal.

Lovely welcoming staff. Nice environment. Really friendly waitresses. Went last night as a start to the bank holiday weekend. While we did wait a little longer than expected for our food the waiting on staff really looked after us and were fab. When the food arrived it was worth the wait. Been to the Ship a few times for food and last nights really stood out. Shame the bank holiday sun wasn’t shining as outside looks ready for summer. See you soon Ship Inn.

I've been visiting the Ship for many years now but the present owners are the best! So friendly, amusing and attentive. They have improved the decor too and it's looking good, inside and out. We had lunch and the food was freshly made, exactly as we'd asked for and reasonably priced. It was quiet today (Thursday lunchtime) but I'm sure, that as the weather improves, this pub will be very popular with walkers (a lovely canal walk) and other visitors wanting good food and drink, great hosts and a beautiful setting.

Called in for lunch. Food very average. Service was unfriendly from someone who would benefit from some customer service training. "What yous havin'?" Very unwelcoming. Moved off a wobbly table to one slightly less wobbly and had to put my coat back on as pub was freezing. Couple on a neighbouring table seemed to have the same experience so not just us!

Friendly helpful staff great food a nice cosy place

Lovely fish an chips. Friendly service from Macy. Owner Paul friendly and welcoming. Lovely atmosphere. Will be going again.

Just got back from lunch here today. Not been for a number of years but heard there were new owners so thought I'd give it a try. I had meat and potatoe pie with thick cut chips and my friend had battered prawns and chips. Was really nice, all fresh, home cooked and hot. The staff were also lovely, it might have been the manager who dealt with us mainly but not sure, but he was very friendly and chatty. There was a little bit of a wait for the food but that's ok as it was a busy Good Friday. However we were kept updated by him and he went to the kitchen to check on our order without us having to ask. Only slight criticism is that the pie crust was a little hard but not that bothered as generally it was a good pie. Would definitely go again.

Popped in today without booking a table. Despite being busy they got us a table inside straight away with a lovely view of the canal. Ordered food from the specials menu. Lovely home cooked food arrived promptly and was very tasty. Staff very attentive checking everything was okay.

First time we have been in since it was taken over, and we're not disappointed. Staff drinks and food lovely we will he back for more of the same soon

Popped in for a meal and a few drinks. Paul and Helen are excellent hosts and the Fisherman's pie and Hunters Chicken were delicious 👍

Excellent food, staff amazing so helpful, highly recommended new owners have made a big difference, so friendly. Thank you for a great birthday celebration.

Visited the ship with my aunties today for lunch. All had a lovely time. Beautiful food and relaxing atmosphere. Can’t wait to return when the weather warms up as it’s got a lovely outside area next to the canal. Lovely new owners, very attentive couldn’t have done more for us. Thanks guys for a lovely afternoon :)

Food nice, newish owners try hard, lovely surroundings, was quiet when I went. Prices could be better

Visited today as a family of 6 adults Initially waited to be served until another customer possibly a regular told a member of staff we had been waiting .When the food arrived it was well presented but on starting to eat it the food was only warm Carrots hard roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding hard to cut through .Had to ask for extra gravy as hardly any also had to ask for mint sauce for lamb meals After receiving 3 out of 6 desserts 1 was actually cold including the custard. After waiting for the other 3 desserts we called a young female member of staff who just looked at us blank until we said what is happening to the other 3 desserts she answered sorry the microwave is slow 🙄A family member then went to the bar told them not tobothrr with the 3 misding desserts and paid the In my opinion the overpriced bill .First and last time here

No words. Helen and Paul did us proud for our family funeral gathering. Outstanding food, excellent service and they could not do enough for you. Would throughly recommend the Ship Inn for both functions, food, or even just a quiet drink. Lovely calm atmosphere. A massive thank you to Helen and Paul for everything you did for us. You went above and beyond. Thank you x

Improved so much since last owners. Food quality and portions good and staff really nice. More relaxed atmosphere and we didn't feel rushed.

What a lovely surprise! Warm and welcoming, excellent food and service. The manager and owner’s Mother (Lyn is fabulous) were friendly, funny and attentive without being overbearing. Last time we came it was the previous owners, what a vast improvement. We will definitely be back.

After a bracing walk on Formby Beach with our Husky, Clover, me, my Mum and daughter turned up at the Ship Inn, mid-afternoon on Mother's Day, (without a booking!!) hoping to get a table for a late lunch and they have a dog friendly area and we got a lovely table with a view of the canal. The staff and the manager, in particular, were so attentive with quick service, despite the restaurant area being full. They had a great value 2 and 3 course menu for Mother's Day. I had the beef roast dinner, mum had the nut roast veggie one and my daughter had the half a chicken roast dinner and the food was excellent. We all said it was the best roast dinner ever, beautifully presented and not overloaded, followed by scrumptious apple crumble and custard. We were each given a complimentary Mothers Day fairy cake to take away....and have with a cuppa later. This will always be our "go to" pub after a walk on the beach!

Just home from yet another successful visit, there were 4 in party & it was for Mothers Day. Bit worried as when we arrived it showed pub gad changed hands since last visit, pleasantly surprised by new hosts. Very friendly & helpful good luck Paul & Helen

What a difference. New management are an example to the pub trade. Gone are the days of Mr Fawlty strutting around. At last this pub is starting to much promise but it will take time to undo the previous atmosphere of chaos prevailing. I did not eat but the beer and service was superb. Good luck for the future.

Wow what a lovely place. The new owner and his mum have not long took over the place. They provide a lovely welcome and the food is outstanding, with great value for money. The lady serving our table, who is the owners mum, is one of the nicest people I have ever been served by. This was beyond customers service. The atmosphere is great and the is a lovely mix of local regular customers and people just passing through. The pub is located next to the canal and will make an excellent stop over at any time of the year. Will definitely be going back and will be recommending the place to all my friends.

Another great night paul and Helen new owners absolutely brilliant go above and beyond to accommodate u throughout your whole stay very attentive. Food absolutely gorgeous would highly recommend lovely friendly pub thanks guys x

Lovely food, great service and great choice on the menu - great 3 course deal. The best roast dinner I’ve ever eaten out. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely food - nicest roast dinner I’ve ever eaten out. Lovely atmosphere, great choice on the menu and really good service. Highly recommend 👍

First time I’ve visited here, really enjoyed it. Good quality food. Deffo be back.

Myself and my partner brought my Mum and Dad here for a Sunday Roast yesterday. At the time there was 4 young woman waiting on and it was moderately busy. We hadn’t booked but even though it was getting busier, the staff immediatly came over to us and we were seated almost straight away. We were given 4 menus and taken to a table which over looked the canal. A large table was made up in the upper restaurant which when they arrived, wasn’t an issue for us either. When we arrived at our table the young woman who seated us immediatly asked what drinks we would like. Within 5 minutes our drinks were at our table and we were ready to order. Myself and my partner had the roast beef dinner and my mum and dad had the chicken and it was PERFECT! The meat was tender, the gravy was delicous and the veg was gorgeous! Our food was presented beautifully and looked amazing! We didn’t wait long even though within 15 minutes it was heaving! Every table was filled and the atmosphere was incredible! The staff looked lively and hard working, they were so friendly and always had smiles on their faces. When the new owners arrived, they came over to us for a chat and told us there was a new menu coming and more drink options! The prices aren’t too expensive and the Sunday dinner 2 and 3 course deal is an amazing price for what you can get! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you to Helen and Paul for turning this place around it is outstanding and I can’t wait for the atmosphere in the Summer!

Came for Sunday roast, not the best meat was dry and gravy was very oily. Main restaurant area was cold so we eat what we could and left. The girls serving us was lovely and attentive just a shame food wasn’t great.

Went ship in as under new management staff went above and beyond very attentive. Has the nicest roast dinner was amazing thanks u to all the staff

A lovely pub with great views and friendly service. The staff waiting on could not have done more for us, however the food was only mediocre unfortunately.

Lovely meal pleasant surroundings and excellent service over it!

Really enjoyed the time that we spent there the staff were very attentive the food was realy tasty and the of road car parking facillity was apreciated

Called today for meal brilliant Nice warm fire lovely staff especially mum behind bar brilliant. Food and beer fantastic Meal for 4 people.

Came here early morning fantastic food fantastic service excellent food and excellent drink. Lovely setting by a canal inside is beautiful with the lights throughout the pub.

Haven't been to the pub for a couple of months. Had some brilliant days/evenings there, Unfortunately absolutely no atmosphere ( shame really) a Thursday evening and almost empty restaurant. Food average. Didn't hang around. Another Lee's pub sadly left to go to rack and ruin. Such an amazing location too. Get it sorted...please. Also why are people smoking around the entrance of the pub, doesn't give a good impression!

Me and my family visited today all together there was 12 in our party we went for a family celebration as we visited many times with our father, On arrival we were shown to our table with a lovely view out the window looking at the the canal ,we all had set menu and the food was really nice and all meals came out same times and were hot and of good quality so thanks for our hosts for hospitality and great service see you soon The Bailey's

We live locally and have not been for a while. I understand it is under new management. The food was fantastic. I had a chicken leek and ham pie which was so good. I am a great gravy lover and that was real gravy ( as the menu said d) and served in a jug. Just how I like it.

Dropped in for evening meal with wife and small dog. Lovely presented pub with a nice friendly atmosphere. Greeted by lovely staff and chose our preferred seats in the dog friendly area. Chose starters of garlic bread and battered king prawns with fish, chips and peas and a spicy pasta dish for main. The food was lovely and presented and prepared well with a service that was efficient even though there were a good number of customers dining and drinking within the pub. New owners have been in situ since December and are gradually and currently inside and out transforming this lovely canal side establishment in to the place to go for food and drink. If you want lovely home cooked food at a reasonable price in an idyllic setting of Haskayne then try the Ship Inn. We will be back and next will be the Sunday Roast. Also roll on the summer alfresco dining by the canal side happy days.

Came for our tea last Tuesday but it was closed for food, would be helpful for customers if they could change their business hours on google. We came again, we enjoyed our meals but just basic pub grub but charge ridiculous restaurant prices and drinks were on the expensive side. Not ideal if you’re looking for a mid week cheap bite to eat.

Popped in for an evening meal.. The pub has undergone a recent change of management. Very warm welcome on arrival, food and service was excellent. 2 lovely roaring log fires, dog and family friendly. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area👍👍

Love this place now,new owners new start I only live down the road food served Wednesday to Sunday and fantastic. I can only congradulate the new landlord and landlady for taking on a pub which has been neglected for so long. They are doing a fantastic job 👏.

Excellent food nice atmosphere Excellent service 👌

After reading all the fabulous reviews we decided to have a spontaneous meal out. Travelled from Leeds and so looking forward to sampling the beer and food that we had been reading about. Walked into the pub hubby said hi to the 3 staff behind the bar and was totally ignored. We stood waiting one member of staff preparing drinks other two totally blanked us. Waited a bit longer and not one person acknowledged us. Even a hi would have been appreciated, I understand people are busy but this was just rude. Needless to say we left, rather dissatisfied and hungry.

Went to The Ship Inn as we heard it was under new ownership, had a lovely roast dinner, the staff very attentive and helpful. Helen and Paul the new owners are a great couple and are trying very hard to make a success of the business. We wish them all the best and we will be back.

Had a lovely visit, customer service from the moment we walked in was excellent, food was amazing. Staff were helpful and very attentive, new owners came over and had a chat, very relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Went to ship. New owners. Had a really nice pint. Food not on on Tuesdays at moment. They made a sandwich for me, As it was a cold day. Hope them all the best for the future

Lovely as always - very welcoming and attentive staff, cosy fires and good food. Dog friendly too. A real treat after a pretty canal walk.

such a lovely little place on the canal will be beautiful in the summer! lovely home cooked food, new landlords have taken over they couldn't do more for us! what a great team they have ! wishing them lots of luck !! thank you

We had booked a table for myself my husband, my son, daughter and grandson. On arrival a lady outside said to us it is warmer out here than it is inside. The whole pub was very very cold and several people in there commented on...

Visited here for the first time tonight for a family dinner. Think owners have changed, but I didn’t know it before so can only comment on our visit. Really nice home cooked food reasonably priced. The brownie is the best though, melts in the mouth....

Absolutely delicious food, festive atmosphere. Accommodating for a large table, quick service! Will be back again!!

What can I say, Faultless from start to finish, extremely warm welcome and extremely accommodating to guests with mobility issues. Staff had clearly been very well trained and gave a great personal service without being intrusive, extensive knowledge on both drinks and food menu offering...

The food and service were good but the price of the 2 meals and the drinks were absolutely disgusting. We won't be going there again for a meal even tho the food was good it wasn't anything to write home about cos it was nothing special.

Lovely pub in a great location. Staff were friendly and efficient. Good was great (Gammon beautifully cooked and fish the size of a whale!) Definitely will be going again.

Good pub with a tange if real ales. Seems to do very well for food.

Food was great and always great service from the girls

Well I thought I would write a review, I wasn't going to, but I really can't wait to hear the owners reply, there classic basil faulty, me and the missus had bit of dinner, it was ok but nothing special to be honest, the burger...

Nice food and nice place. Just too cold inside. No heating on at end of October

Lovely pub which serves delicious food. The waitresses were very helpful and courteous. The only reason I gave it 3 stars for the atmosphere was because there were only a few people in at tea time, so it was quiet. I'm sure it's got a great atmosphere when full. Very cosy 👍

Straightforward food well cooked. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. 3 hand pulled beers on offer - recommend the Manchester Pale Ale. Nice coffee. Combine with nice canal walk in daytime

Went to this restaurant for first and will be last ordered Sunday lunch beef thought it strange when the. Waiter brought steak knives could not cut even with them my partner also left hers

Great place to visit if you're passing by boat. I'm gluten free and it was no bother to them to provide me with perfectly cooked grilled fish and chips on both the occasions I've visited even when they were short staffed 😊

Lovely pub, food is good. Love a hot day sitting in beer garden looking out in canal

Food was great and very good value.Stayed the night in our motorhome and enjoyed the guest beer. Very welcoming

Called in last week for a coffee and decided to have lunch. They were short staffed and couldn’t serve food outside with was understandable. We had our dog with us and we were seated in a lovely dining room inside. Food was good and reasonably...

I have been coming to this pub for a very long time as the atmosphere and food have always been great. I visited this pub with my husband and dad on Sunday 10th september as we booked a meal so we sat at our table...

Lovely place fantastic atmosphere the service is excellent well worth the trip out 🌟

cider is always flat and not cold enough even when the landlady pours it. The food is over priced for frozen pub grub. It would be nice to go in, find a table and order at the bar [simple and affective] non of this podium business. its a canal side pub not a restaurant. Out side area is always dirty especially under the big patio parasol
