Ship Inn in Aberdeenshire

Very disappointing, low quality ingredients and plated up with no imagination. Prices are average for what was on offer, but overpriced for what was presented.

This is a great wee restaurant, attached to the Ship Inn Hotel. Lovely varied menu and excellent quality food. Ideal service too

Arrivando tardi e pernottando nell'albergo adiacente , abbiamo dirottato la scelta del locale per la cena su quello piu' comodo . Servizio cortese ed efficiente , ma a cibo niente di che . Secondo me piu' adatto ad un pranzo veloce .

We had a lovely lunch, we had one of the sharing platters, plenty of food as well as good value for money. The staff were helpful and friendly, we were able to pick our own table as we were first ones to go in for lunch. We had a lovely view of the harbour

Locale carino e caratteristico, disponibile Kids menù con buona scelta. Provato fish n chips di avvio vacanza ci ha soddisfatto. Prezzi nella media e personale cortese. Assaggiato anche il primo whisky della vacanza. Da provare

I had thought, looking at the website, that this would be a lovely meal. Fish was tasteless, chips were frozen and it was way overpriced for the substandard quality of food. Disappointed as I took my family there specially and unfortunately I will not be back.

Fantastic restaurant. Lovely scenic situation. Food was excellent. We had the mussels and the hot fish sharing platter. Beautifully cooked and fries were best I've had for some time. Staff were friendly and really helpful.

Très bon déjeuner dans ce restaurant sur le port. Service rapide et serveuse très gentille Poisson très bon Salle par contre un peu bruyante

We arrived 20 minutes before the kitchen opened so had good choice of tables and were greeted by a charming young barman. Picked a table, ordered a couple of pints and sat and perused menu until he came and took our orders. Food turned up promptly and was delicious. About 12.15 glanced around the room to see the place was packed. Glad we came early. Portions were generous and prices reasonable. All staff we encountered were delightful.

We met friends here who we hadn't seen in 5 years. It was a Sunday lunchtime but no Sunday roast offered, not complaining as it had a great menu. What we had was good, the Cullen Skink was full of fish and very little potato but the soup was on the thin side. The mussels as a main course were wonderful and a large portion. Recommend but you must book and the table is only for 2 hours.

Luckily got a table outside on a very warm sunny day - which was also a local holiday! Please was very busy, but the staff coped with good service and good humour. The menu had a good selection of both seafood and others. Watching meals coming out, we noted the Chicken Fillets and the Muscles seemed to be very popular. We had the Smoked Mackerel salad and the Cajun Fishcakes. Both tasted very good - and the table beside us changed their intentions and had the Mackerel too. Prices seemed fair considering portion size, quality and superb location.

I return to the Ship Inn Stonehaven every chance I get, not only because it's a lovely inn in a wonderful coastal town near numerous sites worthy of a visit, but because the restaurant serves the most delicious Cullen Skink anywhere. I've sampled it in many places and none have compared to that of the Ship Inn. Thanks to the chef for making it a unique and delectable experience.

Posto magnifico e panoramico (Stonehaven harbour) ; ottima la zuppa del giorno, consigliato il fish & chips ( panatura super croccante); ordinata anche una porzione di salmon fish cakes, ricetta da provare per gli amanti del salmone. Il posto è tutto da vedere e da fotografare ed è ottimo per una pausa pranzo prima o dopo la visita allo strabiliante Dunnottar castle nelle vicinanze.

Although the staff were freindly enough, we were disappointed with the size of the cold seafood platter which seemed to have shrunk considerably since the last time we ate here. It wasn't cheap, and to be given two very small morsel sized pieces of bread between the four of us was quite ridiculous! For a platter (£27.50) with a few small pieces of seafood was a shocker. In total the meal came to £117 for one (tiny) platter, four mains and a round of drinks, we certainly won't be going back. I came away feeling as if we'd been ripped off. Never again!

We had a lovely meal here and we’re served by really helpful staff. They were busy but we got a table in the pub area as walk-ins.

I've said it before, but The Captain's Table is consistently excellent, both in terms of its food and of its wait staff. The menu has plenty variety and there are always specials to give even more choice. Well worth a visit!

Staying in Stonehaven for a couple of days. Ate somewhere else yesterday (see my reviews) but like to try new places so came here tonight. Lovely service and great steak. Even squeezed a dessert down (chocolate and Baileys cheesecake, yummy). High recommend. Make sur enough book though as as tables were booked tonight.

Good service dated interior we had dinner at the ship for 4 food offering was pretty plain Good desert Cost for 4 starters 4 mains, 1 desert and 8 soft drinks £101 The marine next door looks a better option

We sat outside overlooking the harbour and admiring the view as the sun set. Beautiful setting and a great spot to watch the world go by.

We shared the cold seafood platter with a side of salad and onion rings. More than enough for two. Friendly staff too. The platter was so good we went back a second night.

Excellent food and service, lovely peaceful place to eat looking on to the harbour. Friendly staff obeying all "Covid 19 " restrictions . Food piping hot and well presented. Returned on a second visit during our stay.

Was really disappointed after reading all the great reviews. I ordered the steak which although was cooked as I asked was not presented well. For £24.50 it arrived on the plate with 3 onion rings a small handful of mushrooms, half a tomato and a small portion of fries. Poor value and not well presented. My daughters crispy fish burger was a piece of haddock (what is usually served as the fish & chips) sticking out of a floury bun accompanied by yet another small portion of anaemic fries. The only thing that saved it was the lovely coleslaw she said. Staff on the other hand were excellent tho

I visited this restaurant with my husband and 13 year old son for lunch whilst visiting the nearby Dunnottar Castle.We had booked a table before travelling (a good job too as the restaurant was booked up!). The staff were friendly the food was excellent. The only slight mishap we had is that my son ordered the gammon and, whilst it was excellent, it wasn't what he was used to (real, fresh gammon as opposed to those pressed processed circles). I gave him some of the home-made chicken fillets I had ordered (which were amazing!) and he really liked those so I asked the waitress if I could order some of those for him instead. I made a point of saying there was nothing wrong with the food, just that it wasn't what he was used to and she ordered some chicken for him instead. She couldn't have been more helpful and we really enjoyed the rest of our meals.This really is a fabulous restaurant with top-quality food set on the harbourside. I would highly recommend it for any age group or occasion and would certainly visit again if I was in the area.

Second time we have visited the Ship Inn for a family lunch inside a year. Like last time the food was good and not expensive, staff were excellent and the beer was good. Great location in Stonehaven with parking nearby. Will definitely be back again.

Lovely fish burger. Good pub food in a lovely harbour setting with a good choice of ales and whiskies. Outdoor and bar both dog friendly.

Popped in after visit to Dunnottar Castle - managed to get a table (would recommend booking as reduced capacity with the covid pandemic). Friendly staff. Great food - we had the fish burger (basically battered fish in a bun with tarter sauce and mushy peas - really tasty and excellent portion) and the king prawn enchiladas (again very tasty). We were lucky and had table by window so lovely to look out at the harbour.

Great fresh sea food, no frills and no fuss! Highly recommend muscles & fish and chips. Puddings also amazing! A great treat for an off shift day. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyed a seafood platter here with drinks outside overlooking the bay on a sunshine and showery day. First time here but will not be the last

Friendly staff and food was lovely treat . First trip away just to refresh it’s been a long year living with Covid . Would recommend if in area delicious seafood

Had lunch today and was very impressed with the staff and how safely they dealt with everything.Temperatures taken, track & trace details recorded, all staff were masked up, space between tables.Food was really good - Cullen skink and chocolate & raspberry pannacotta! Staff extremely friendly and professional. Would highly recommend a visit and great to support local businesses at this time.

Direkt am Hafen liegt das Ship Inn. Bei schönem Wetter kann man auch draussen sitzen. Die Gasträume sind Pub-typisch eher rustikal aber das Essen war lecker.

A Great pub grub menu and great value for money. Good wine list a reasonable price and plenty choice of other drinks. Friendly staff and super service

Great service with a smile even behind a mask. Food was fabulous Best muscles ever tasted Highly recommended

Together with my wife and teenage children we dined at the Captains Table at The Ship Inn. The restaurant is located on the harbour side at Stonehaven with is a beautiful setting. The menu and specials board was reasonably varied. The service was friendly and the food good. The menu is well priced and you receive healthy portion sizes. You get good value for money here.

The service wasn't great. The food was really overpriced! The 'gourmet' burger was awful. Chewy, cold, half eaten. Another server cleared our plates and asked if we enjoyed, we explained the burger was bad and weren't offered a refund, despite it being half eaten. Had a better burger in chain pub grub for half the price. Bit pretentious for the price really...wouldn't recommend not the best experience.

Visited on Thursday with friends for Lunch. The Food was first class. Very friendly atmosphere, 1st class service. We will most certainly return, and would not hesitate to recommend.

We first visited this gem of an inn, a couple of years ago. Delighted to report that it has maintained its high standards of service, food and surroundings. Enjoyed super fish and chips, small portions for a light lunch, which were expertly cooked, beautifully presented and the freshest of fish tasted divine! This place is a must from now on - whenever we are near Stonehaven.

we were in stonie for lunch and decide on the ship inn . glad we did as the menu was varied and pricing very reasonable.cullen skink was filling followed by the chicken fillets again very enjoyable. the wife had the smoked haddock fish cakes and was also impressedservice was quick and friendly towards our needs 2 mains and a starter £30 in a nice setting will be back for sure.

Stopped of a Stonehaven on a wet and windy Saturday lunchtime and were attracted to this restaurant because of the harbour location and how busy the restaurant was.We found the food and service to be very good and was amazed how busy this restaurant was which tends to indicate the restaurant is obviously doing the basics well.Would definitely go to this restaurant again next time we are in Stonehaven.Recommended

We were 6 for lunch on Saturday 4th January, 2020. I had asked for a window table when I booked, and that is what we got. We were rather disappointed that the only fish/seafood items on the menu, (other than battered/breaded haddock), were unavailable. Because of dietary requirements I then had a problem choosing something else. I'm guessing no fish/seafood may have been due to no boats being out over New Year? We will bear this in mind now, and won't visit again at that time of year, as most of us want to eat fish/seafood when at the Ship Inn.What we all ate was good, service was ok, (not as good as usual), but it was quite busy. Not our best visit though.

Staff were lovely and really efficient. Service was great and food was delicious. Very family friendly and accommodating.

We headed here on a cold, wet Friday having just driven up from Glasgow. The dining room looked a bit like a canteen, the servers were friendly enough. The food however was bland at bestCullen Skink (GF) £5.95 - A rich creamy soup made with locally smoked haddock,thinly sliced potatoes and double cream. Served with crusty bread* and butter. - over salted and very waterySmoked Haddock & Ham Hock £6.95 Au Gratin Served with crusty bread* & butter. - was essentially the Cullen Skink with cheese on topLiver & Bacon £10.95 Pan-fried Lamb’s Liver with Bacon and Onions, Served with Grilled Tomato & Chips. - presentation of this dish was "slapped on the plate" the liver was slightly overcooked.Mussels & Frites (GF) £17.50Large portion of Fresh North Sea Mussels in a white wine garlic sauce finished with double cream, with Skinny Fries & crusty bread* and butter. - mussels themselves were okay however there was no white wine garlic sauce at all in the pot just what tasted like pure double cream, such a shame as it could have been so good.First and last visit to be honest we wouldn't go back there are much better restaurants in the area

Adequately soaked from a walk from the Dunnotar castle, I stopped at the inn for a quick cullen skink at the bar. It turned out so delicious that I chased it down with battered and cajun breaded fillets of haddock in mini brioche buns served with tartare sauce, coleslaw and skinny fries, and as if it were not enough, polished the meal off with a dessert of sticky toffee and pear pudding served with steaming toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream. It felt good. It felt like a taste of Scotland that would stay with me for a long time.

The Captain's Table is the harbour side restaurant of the Ship Inn at Stonehaven. A picturesque setting but the dining room is a little lacking in atmosphere with tables almost set in rows. Nothing wrong with the food though!! We both enjoyed the Fish Pie which was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Ristorante-bar sul mare, bella vista sul piccolo porto.Qualità del pesce eccezionale, panatura del fish & chips leggera e non salata! Sapori ben equilibrati, anche la zuppa di pesce degli antipasti merita!Prezzi in linea con la qualità.Consigliato!!

Friendly service, outstanding fish, very good food! Best fish and chips in all Scotland! Also the soup of the day was great!

The surroundings were pleasant, next door to the busy Ships Inn. We had the cullen skink and king prawns with pea panacotta. My partner had the fritto misto.

Whilst the staff were attentive and friendly the experience here was betrayed by the food when it arrived.

un lugar bonito y tranquilo, y con comida de calidad. E lugar es inmejorable, con fácil aparcamiento cercano. es buen lugar para pasear cerca del mar.

We turned up at the Captains Table with no booking but as it was early no problems, it was a nice setting overlooking the harbour in Stonehaven. Service was very quick and my Wife and I ordered the Fritto Misto which was different fish done in Tempura Batter, also vegetables in the batter too and have to say very nice. The prices were all very reasonable too would definitely recommend.

We had pre-booked and pre-ordered our food as it was a busy time. The food arrived promptly and was very good, with large portions. The room was was quite noisy from the conversations of a roomful of people, but not enough to make it difficult to conduct our own conversation. The only slight fly in the ointment was a cold draught from the air conditioning unit; I would avoid the middle of the dining area in future.

Having read the reviews and the blurb on the website we decided to try the restaurant as it had stated seafood was on the menu. My husband had a starter of mussels which were nicely cooked though quite ordinary. We then had veal and seafood frito misto. The veal was very ordinary. The frito misto was supposed to be seafood in a very light tempura batter. It turned out to be pieces of seafood in batter as you would expect in a fish and chip shop, along with courgettes in batter too. This made the meal very heavy and you lost the taste of the delicate seafood that the batter hid.

Visiting Stonehaven, we have enjoyed the area very much. It is all together ideal for families, young and not so young people like ourselves. We had dinners down at the harbour at the Ship Inn. Friendly staff, amasing fine food at very reasonable price.

Loved our lunch at The Ship’s Inn! Erin made it special with her friendly service, Thanks, Erin! Great sitting out front people- watching and chatting with locals on our coastal touring day. We had seafood soup and fresh mussels, yum! And the surprise of a gluten free brownie with ice cream and hot fudge sauce!! Hope to come back some day!

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo in questo ristorante dell'albergo The Ship Inn. Piacevolissimo soggiornare in albergo e poter venire a cena scendendo le scale. In cinque abbiamo preso: 2 fish and Chips, 2 merluzzi, 1 maccheroni al formaggio; 4 pinte di birra e 1 succo arancia. Totale 70 euro

Unplanned trip to this restaurant and it was nice. The macaroni and cheese was delicious and the beer was good. We had a great view of the harbor. All members of my party enjoyed their food.

Average food at very high prices! I ordered the 'Posh' scampi and it was still oily from the pan. It was served with a sad salad and skinny fries… for £16. This was a second chance (And I'm local) Go for a pint but not for the extremely average food.

Went to the ship inn last night as we like the buzz in the bar! Decided to eat here as we have before! Hubby had the special beef olives with whiskey sauce the beef olives were tough and the whisky had been forgotten! He kept saying there was a funny perfumed taste in it! That was the micro herbs! Why put coriander cress on top off beef olives??? I had the seafood soup! The little bit off monkfish salon and mussels I got were cooked perfect but the squid and prawns were chewy. Why oh why I had 6 new potatoes in it I don’t know? The tiny bits off French stick wasn’t the lovely crusty bread I was expecting. Oh and you guessed it all covered with a huge handful off coriander cress. Sad as our meal is usually so nice.

We occasionally meet up with family in Stonehaven for lunch as we travel from Dundee and the rest of our family from Aberdeen. Our party ranges from my 94 year old Dad to our 15 year old daughter and I have to say none of us have been disappointed yet!

So we went in for a drink when we arrived in Stonehaven and yes the pub is a nice friendly, traditional pub. We were advised by more than one person to go there for dinner as it was apparently "amazing"

Disappointing! Restaurant needs updating, very basic for the prices charged,atleast a crisp tablecloth would be an improvement. The meal was mediocre, my veal milanese was 2 Small fillets that may well have been pre crumbed and frozen, not a veal milanese! Not value for money and not a great ambience

Popped in after having a meal elsewhere Great little pub by the harbour - good vibe and friendly staff.

There is nothing ,really nothing ,quite nothing like the bay of Stonehaven on a windy cold day -one of the first reminding of the upcoming autumn .One only wants to warm up their feet and hands and the welcoming option is called Ship In -a tradition alive from the eighteen- thousands by present .

Dopo una buona birra al pub adiacente, ci siamo spostati nella sala ristorante. Abbiamo provato 2 starter (cullen skink e insalata di gamberi) + 2 main courses (salmone con noodles in salsa teriyaki e guazzetto di pesce fresco con patate).

OK. We arrived at the almost empty restaurant to be told they were fully booked so could sit in the bar? Which we did, while the restaurant remained empty for the duration of our meal. First was the starter. My partner had Cauliflower Pakora, and I had the Cullen Skink, which was quite frankly shockingly bad considering what is on offer next door. The Pakora was not Pakora at all. Battered raw cauliflower at best and completely inedible. The Cullen Skink had pools of oil floating on it, was watery, could find little evidence of potato in it and the fish was bland, overcooked and tasteless. Just awful. We couldn't finish either dish despite our efforts, and on returning both dishes were offered no refund. We hoped the Macaroni Cheese would fare better but alas we were disappointed again. The pasta was substandard and undercooked, what little sauce there was had been absorbed by the undercooked pasta screaming for moisture, and as if to mock my already sad mouth, a thin dusting of cheese burnt onto the top of each dish almost made me laugh at the disatrousness of it all. The chips were overcooked and very low quality. The garlic bread and onion rings were also awful. Soft onions dripping with old oil leaving a dirty aftertaste, with the garlic bread having a hint of plastic? (pretty certain it had been microwaved). Couldn't wait to get out of there to be honest and we are both still feeling rather unwell. A very unpleasant dining experience and would suggest walking straight past to get some proper grub next door. How they can call this cooking is quite amazing. I wouldn't feed this rubbish to the gulls!

Tipica locanda sul porto di Stonehaven. Oltre alla bellissima vista merita di fermarvi in questo posto il buon pesce e la buona carne inaffiato con le birre locali. Attenzione però alla sera si deve arrivare prima delle 21!

Siamo andati per cenare e ci siamo trovati benissimo! Ristorante/pub sul piccolo porticciolo di Stonehaven, camerieri molto ospitali (come tutti in Scozia) e i piatti abbondanti e ben cucinati, pesce fresco e ottimo! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo...consigliato!

We were on our way to Dunnotter Castle when we caught a glimpse of Stonehave. He decided to call in for lunch. After a little wander around the harbour and the market square we popped into The Ship inn for a sandwich.

Annual lunch with 4 school friends, and I had booked ahead to secure a window table, which is nice when you can look out on the harbour. We had a warm welcome with the menus and a large jug of iced water for the table – no wine for us, as we were all driving. None of us really eat a lot, so 3 chose Soup & Sandwiches and two of us had the Chicken Kebab starter instead of a main course. Everyone really enjoyed their food, and our jug of iced water was replenished without us even asking. We had a selection of coffees to round off our catch-up.

I enjoyed my meal. Nothing crazy or exceptional. Very standard pub meal. Nice use of ingredients and flavors. I had the Hake and mussels in cream sauce. Potatoes were v average and looked very sad on the side of the plate. Starter was crab and it was ok at best. Nothing exceptional but I suppose one shouldn’t expect much these days. Staff were lovely.

Local and had opportunity to bring family together. Table ready on arrival and we were seated immediately and waitress went to bar area and chatted to another staff member. After about 5 minutes with no activity I had to go and ask her if we could order a round of drinks at the table. The order was duly taken and brought over - we found we were a drink short, one of the party had not been asked what they wanted. My beer (Stella) was rather flat and short on measure - to her credit the waitress noticed and offered to top it up but it was still not “lively” as it usually is. We dined early and found “specials” were being taken off by 1830. Overall the meal was okay but considered starters and deserts in particular to be over priced. There were no other “locals” and place is generally geared to tourist market. With the pound the way it is may seem good value to foreign visitors. My son who dines regularly in the UK and overseas on business said “Let’s go somewhere else next time” which was a disappointment for me on what was a special occasion.

Accueil très agréable, cadre très sympa près du port.

Our B&B; host suggested us this restaurant for dine. It was a noice choice after a walking day to Dunnottar Castle and surrondings. The restaurant face directly the small port of Stonehaven. When you enter into and you have your table, you have to catch a menu and order to the bar counter. A waiter will bring you the food directly to your table. The restaurant has different kind of dishes, mainly fish based. The food was nice, but the portions were very small. Prices are much higher than other restaurants in the town.

Eher durch Zufall landeten wir im "The Captains Table" und hatten obendrein noch das Glück einen der letzten Tische zu ergattern. Das Menü bestand, der Küstenlage entsprechend, hauptsächlich aus Fisch und Meeresfrüchten sowie aus schottisch-britischen Spezialitäten. Die Miesmuscheln und das Hochlandrind-Steak waren auf jeden Fall superlecker und die Portionen sehr üppig. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist also mehr als fair. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und gerne bereit uns in Whiskey- und Gin-Fragen zu beraten. Aus einer Flucht vor dem Regen wurde ein sehr gelungener Abend.

Very disappointed as menu stated GF well I think there was one true Gluten free meal . All others involved removing items with gluten ! Not substituting with actual gluten free ingredients- GF bread and rolls are readily available as are sausages etc. Substitute flour with corn flour - easy ! Gluten Free diet is not an option for people with coeliac or gluten intolerance! If they eat gluten they are ill !!! Vegetarian and vegan in most cases are life choices .

Nice view of the docks but menu was limited for being seaside. Expected more seafood. Service could be improved.

Vänlig och snabb service, stor meny, fräscht och vällagat. Alla rätter verkar goda men den nyfångade fisken är i en klass för sig. Som alltid på engelska pubar, många ölsorter att välja på, men också helt OK viner.

We stayed for two nights and ate in the restaurant once. The seafood we had was fantastic. the staff were friendly and efficient. the next night we spent in the bar with friends and again had a good time. Efficient friendly bar staff helped.

Passing through Stonehaven we wanted to stop, to stroll around the harbour and have a drink. We chose this place which had plenty of character, very good service, friendly locals and it played 80s music. It was just getting busy and many people were eating. Looked like the sort of place it’s worth booking ahead for if you are thinking of having dinner.

The Ship has many things going for it including a harbour side position in an attractive location. The beer (Whooha Ruadha) was also perfect, but after that I’m afraid it’s all downhill.

Really enjoyed our lunch at the ship Inn. We had the choice of eating in the bar or the restaurant and chose the latter which was light and airy and has a view to the harbour.

Nous nous sommes vus rejeté du restaurant pour un breakfast écossais à 8 heures du matin, sous prétexte que nous n'étions pas client de l'hôtel. ...peut être avons nous eu affaire à une employée, c'est la premiere fois que l'on se voit refoulé. A méditer.

Typisk britisk pub, med godt øl og veldig god fish and ships.

We met another couple here for Sunday lunch and a long overdue catch up, our friends had booked the table which was just as well as they were busy. Service was a bit erratic but the food was good as were the portion sizes, it got a little warm so a few windows were opened but we had to ask for them to be closed again as it was too much for January. Would go again and think they are reasonably priced.

Given other reviews we had read prior to deciding to eat at The Captain's Table, we were disappointed to receive pretty standard 'pub grub'.

Pernottando al The Ship Inn e considerando le recensioni ci è sembrata una scelta "obbligata". Ne siamo usciti soddisfatti.

I’m a local and friends and family eat around Stonehaven so kinda have a feel for the current scene, in all honesty the service needs a kick up the backside, one of our party was forgotten about (main course) the fish sliders on brioche buns were not in brioche buns, trying to order a Glenmorangie proved a difficult task....food was okay but not of the standard expected, come on Ship Inn, ship up or it’ll be ship out for us!

We were staying at the Sip Inn at Stonehaven & after walking around town realised the best place to eat was their restaurant .Our meals were delicious, the sea food fresh , meals a good size and service very good .They had a good selection of beers and wines .We would eat there again

Visited there on a wet dull Saturday lunch time and had a table in the bar side. Even though it was very busy in restaurant and the bar, the food was surprisingly quick. I had the soup/sandwich combo of Culllen Skink/Tuna Mayo sandwich and it was excellent and reasonably priced. Not a huge menu for light lunches but the portions are just right

Lovely welcoming restaurant. Very busy, but food did not seem to take ages.

We had dinner here during our last visit a couple of years ago so decided to go back for lunch. Service was very prompt and food was very good and just right for our appetite. Would definitely recommend the Ship Inn.

We enjoyed o lovely lunch here of mussels & Cullen skink (which was superb), followed by a tempura dish of fresh fish (unfortunately without the vegetables).

Im Juli 2018 waren wir für eine Nacht in Stonehaven und haben im Ship Inn zum ersten Mal Fish and Chips probiert. Sie waren erstaunlich gut, aber am besten war der Cheesecake zum Dessert. Eine Wucht! Hervorragend auch die Whisky-Auswahl.

Had a meal here last night. When we arrived the restaurant was full but we were lucky enough to get a table in the bar. Friendly and informationative service from the 2 staff members that greeted us. Lots of choice on the menu, with local produce very visible. Our 2 children enjoyed their breaded fish and chicken burger, my husband and I had the salmon fish cakes and the sea bass with risotto. Everything was well presented and delicious. My son was especially excited by the presentation of his ‘Pingu ice cream’ as penguins are his favourite animal. Will definitely be returning again when we are in the area.

We were warmly welcomed and seated right away.

We arrived late in a Friday night and walked to this place. Great food and quick service. We enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks as well. Right next to the pier.

Had a super lunch here of fresh mussels, frites, and crusty bread. Absolutely delicious. Great service, great view if you are lucky enough to get a window seat. A little pricey but worth it for a treat.

My son and I enjoyed a superb meal at The Ship Inn. The Cullen Skink was amazing as were the mussels that he had as a starter. He then had a huge mixed grill while I enjoyed wonderful fish and chips. The service was excellent and could not be faulted. A wonderful setting by the harbour in Stonehaven. I can very much recommend The Ship Inn and will definitely return.

With the unseasonably great weather, we decided to go to The Ship for lunch.

A group of us dropped in for some lunch and all ordered haddock and chips. The fish were all overcooked and the chips were soggy. Come on guys, get your act together for this basic dish and provide crisp, dry chips as well. The staff were good and attentive but the place and especially the toilets, need a facelift.
