Called into the Ship on Shore today. Was pleasantly greeted buy the owner and another gentleman sat at the bar. Upon checking that food was being served my sister & I were given the options of where we could sit. We chose the conservatory. Although trading was on the quiet side, there was a pleasant atmosphere and during our conversation with the owner discovered their plans for improvements. We ordered from the lunchtime lite bite menu. Our drinks arrived and we chatted whilst waiting for our food to be cooked. When the food arrived I was pleased that I'd asked to have one of the chicken burgers removed from my bun. The portions were very generous and the food was lovely. Thank you for being attentive & welcoming. I can see this being a little haven & look forward to returning again.

Nice little pub. Friendly bar staff. Cleaning leaves a lot to be desired though. We sat in the conservatory which is obviously sat aside for dining and there were dead flies on the windowsill. The smoking bin is in desperate need of emptying.

The Ship on Shore has had a revamp and now does breakfast, lunch and evening meal, so we decided to give it a go. I am pleased that we did, went up for the evening meal. Warning if you want fast food then this is not the place for you, the food is freshly prepared and so we waited a little while, but we had a chat and so it didn’t see very long. The food was well worth waiting for, generous portions and freshly cooked. The service was great and the atmosphere very friendly, the landlady has big plans for the pub and it deserves to be a success, give it a try!

The landlord really has been nasty. One little mistake by my friend two weeks ago. He’s banded us all from the pub. My friend can’t drink as she’s on heart meds and she’s not allowed to drink etc. We won’t be going back again. He’s turned very nasty. We used to spend up to £50 a week in there as there is up to four of us going there. He’s now lost up to £50 a week. We will find somewhere else.

Staff was pretty rude. Called me out for not drinking real ale even though the only thing in tap was Harvey's. Ordered a Guinness and watched the bartender pour it from a can even though they had a Guinness tap. Didn't even mention it to me like it was an OK thing to do.

Probably one of if not the only last traditional pub left on Sheppey complete with “The Governor” Fred the landlord, Fred is old school he says what he thinks, and rightly so does things his way. The pub serves one real ale and on this occasion was Wadworth 6X which is not so common in these parts, my pint of 6X was drawn straight from the cask and was delicious served in fantastic condition. The Ship On Shore is a pub that unfortunately is a dying breed especially on Sheppey where the island has lost so many pubs but entering here is a reminder of when pubs were pubs where the landlord made you feel welcome, would chat and have banter with you Instead of places to watch television or overrun with children. Long may it continue.

Made a special trip here whilst stopping on Sheppey. Landlord very welcoming. Locals chatty. Some famous faces also frequent..... Enjoyed a pint in the sunshine, followed by a stroll along the seafront and watching the fishing. Didn’t dine here, so review a bit airy-fairy in response to questions. Couldn’t see photos when they uploaded, so descriptions may not match .....

Having read glowing reports of this pub/restaurant we were keen to sample it for ourselves - unfortunately we were very disappointed. The landlord is very friendly and made us most welcome and it is this that stops me grading the Ship on Shore as terrible. The place was cold and smelt very musty, the menu was poor and overpriced and when the food did arrive it was almost uneatable. A very disappointing lunch.

We went there for the first time for a meal with friends and found Fred the landlord to be very accomodating. He is a friendly chap who not only pulls the pints but cooks the food too. Although there is only one choice for vegetarians, it was really tasty. I would definately go back there as I hear he does a cracking sunday lunch.

Well worth a visit to check out the Grotto - a historical 'folly', also Fred the landlord is a local legend - a real lovely gent who draws a lovely pint, not tried the food yet but the pub has a nice conservatory area. It is a real traditional pub, the type that are dying out all over the UK - pay it a visit !!

This little place has been along the seafront for years.You are always guaranteed a warm welcome from the landlord, and all drinks and food are very reasonably priced.Very traditional English pub, with the dried hops above the bar.You cannot miss the place, as it has an attached 'Grotto' , constructed from barrels of cement from a ruined sea cargo, decorated with sea shells.

Nice pub and rooms, a few points to make: - Bathrooms small (which I think is unavoidable given the building), just a little too cramped - Staff friendly all way through stay - Lots of things not in stock or available when ordering at bar - Breakfast was very nice but no ketchup or brown sauce on table, when asked for both was given bottles of both with just dregs in - this is unacceptable - When coming back at night, entered bar and was given a room full of local stares lol
