Ship in South Holland

A big thank you to Fleur and staff for letting us have our wedding reception at the beautiful pub "The Ship". A beautiful setting by the river. The staff decorated the tables perfectly, everything was perfect. The food was out of this world, the coleslaw was amazing. Will have to pop in with a big tub and get some more home made coleslaw lol. A massive thank you from me and Geoff.

We had an absolutely delicious lunch - they were very busy but gave us a table with no booking. Would highly recommend

Fantastic place to eat Food amazing Presentation excellent Service very attentive

Looks a bit tired from outside but really cosy and comfortable inside Very few options for vegans No non dairy milk No salad Food portions way to large

Popped in for a lunchtime try out. What a gem we found. Friendly welcome excellent range of beverages and wonderful food. All high quality fresh ingredients, that impressive we have booked for Sunday lunch there. Very many thanks for this eating experience.

The food speaks for itself 😍. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Staff very friendly and the service excellent Judy be advised, card only payments.

I have recently moved to Northgate, which makes The Ship my local. I class myself as being very lucky as The Ship is a true gem, a one in a million establishment. The staff are very friendly, they welcomed me and my family with open arms. The food is absolutely amazing, I am vegan and Gluten free which usually means I can only eat salad, but not at The Ship, they cater for everyone, from vegans to vegetarians to Coeliac to fully fledged meat eaters and of course, children are also catered for, they even make small changes to a dish if they can, making their food enjoyable for everyone that visits. In the summer they hold BBQs with music and in winter months wreath classes etc.The decor is eye-catching, cozy and well thought out, with the seasons being the main focus. The Ship runs alongside the river Glenn making it a fabulous place to sit and chill in the summer months. The Ship is very popular not only for the local villagers but also for people visiting or simply passing through. Their pricing is very reasonable making their food great value for money. :)

Always great food and great service by helpful waitresses.

As other review all vegetables where raw Others in the restaurant today was also saying this I did tell waitress we never ate any of veggies but no part refund Won’t be going again

Dreadful Sunday Roast beef was tough as leather vegetables raw. I told staff what I thought and was told to tell them next time I’m in to tell them and they would cook them for longer my reply was there will definitely not be a next time.

Warm welcome from the fire and the staff. Cosy place we waited for friends by the bar and the fire. Then sat round the corner in the dining room to eat. Lovely meals enjoyed by all. Didn’t have room for pudding which doesn’t happen often!! 🤣

Had a fantastic meal with family. The food was delicious, staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be booking again soon!😊

Very good food and service. We travel past another Marstons to get to the Sugar Mill !!!

5* food service cleanliness Beautiful cosy autumn themed pub Food was delicious Staff so friendly and helpful

They fitted us in as we just turned up. Very friendly and the food was lovely.

Turned up without a booking (recommended) however wasn't in a rush and within 30 mins we were sat down. Good atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks and food. Food was better than expected, we had some nibble starters belly pork bites with apple sauce, mac n cheese bites with spicy jam and duck spring rolls with hoisin sauce. It was delicious 😋 Mains we had Vension with red cabbage, baby veg with dauphinoise potatoes and fish and chips. The helpings were generous, delicious and good quality. If you haven't been then put this on your list!

Card only ? Cash is king its our currency! Why on earth would you not take cash walked out after a 30 minute journey waste of my time no hospitality venue anywhere should be aloud to not take our legal tender

The restaurant only had 2 people working tonight (Saturday) however the service was impeccable and the young lad serving in the restaurant was vey polite and smiled all the time. The 4 of us all had fish n chips which were the best we’ve had in a very long time! Definitely recommend this place!

Great little place. Had one of the best meals ever, chicken supreme with leeks fennel a roast onion etc…it was Devine …Fabulous food

Nice pub, decent food, good beer on tap (Neck Oil). Have visited a couple of times since moving to the area. Only criticism is they don’t take cash which I find strange but there’s a way around that - get someone else to pay!! They don’t have a website which is unusual these days, only a Facebook page. I’d like to be able to help with that as that’s my line of business ;-)

Very friendly staff, lovely Sunday roast. Highly recommend this place if you local or passing by

What a lovely pub , hopefully we are moving to pinchbeck, and we will visit this pub lots 👍

We arrived without having pre-booked and were served quickly. The food was delicious and we were not rushed at all.

Very friendly staff and very happy to have been given a table for the same evening that we turned up. Quick service and without a rush for the next customer. Top Banana 🍌

The food was good, beer excellent, just shut too early, which was a shame but other than that. I highly recommend

Nice friendly atmosphere, great location, and the food is exceptional. Home made pies, good variety of dishes something for everyone- highly recommended!

Had lunch Thursday,food and service was great.honey glazed ham was to die for,mum enjoyed it to.good surroundings as well.will return soon.

Staff pleasant, food was good and will be using them again 😋

What a wonderful find the Ship Inn is. As a midway point between Swaffham and Lincoln, I met my friends there for lunch. Absolutely great freshly cooked food, attentive and friendly staff and lovely surroundings. We intend to make The Ship Inn a regular meeting place and would highly recommend it to everyone.

This is a fantastic pub to have a very tasty meal and a drink in great surroundings and with a great garden where you can sit to enjoy your meal or drink

Excellent service and very tasty food, definitely worth visiting!

Lovely pub but the food was very average. Limited menu and the chicken was over cooked and tasteless. Service was pretty poor too

Beautiful pub and gardens stopped here as was driving past and was lunch time so popped in, lovely ppl, beautiful food and a amazing garden and patio area, great find.

Beautiful garden. Brilliant afternoon with classic cars. Great entertainment

We visited for early evening dinner. Our wedding anniversary too. The menu was just standard pub food. Gammon, steak, scampi etc. Nothing interesting at all. So I had gammon, my husband had the steak. Hand cut chips-not great, didn’t taste fresh at all. There was nothing that was different from all other bog standard pubs. They were quite busy, so maybe people go for that sort of menu, shame it wasn’t us. On the plus side. The waitress was lovely, really attentive to all the diners. Would we return? No.

Lovely evening to sit outside. LAST ORDERS AT 9.30!!!!!!!

Great little pub ... Beautiful outside drinks really nice .. food is not really the best ... Sits next to the river yet no moorings .. river users will be disappointed....

Not been to The Ship, Pinchbeck for a while but decided on a lunch trip with family. Service from Fleur and quality of the food was excellent - Venison pie / Fish&Chips. Large portions (no room for a sweet) and cooked perfectly. Sat outside in the garden after our meal and relaxed to finish our drinks. A very enjoyable lunchtime and would certainly return and recommend to others

Really good lunch plumb & apple crumble to die for.

Advertised as next to river, you would think on a lovely day like today that’s sounds wonderful Grass four feet high through the outside tables next to the river Flower pots still have dead plants in them. Quite a mess outside. Real shame, keen to support small business but seems that they can’t be bothered to make it nice for customers.

We were in the area looking at properties and found this lovely country pub.. Lunch was nice, and bar staff were also very helpful Would definitely recommend

Good place to eat friendly staff lovely atmosphere and good food

Lovely pub. Staff helpful. Nice location.

At last, we have found a beautiful pub within a 30 minute drive. Such a lovely welcome as we entered, that, makes such a difference. We had not booked for lunch but we were found a table, in a busy restaurant, without any fuss and ordered a roast beef lunch and roast haddock with an extremely tasty sauce and cream potatoes. The sticky toffee pudding and ice cream was delicious. We haven't had a very good few years, health wise and this was just what we needed, being treated like old friends and an excellent meal. We shall return, without doubt. A word about the waitresses - excellent.

Lovely evening food was great and the service was great. Well recommend it.

Lovely evening at the Ship Pinchbeck, food was lovely and hot considering there was 17 of us, service was great, recommend it.

Superb lunchtime meal 2 for £22 today. I had calves liver my wife steak pie and 2 lovely desserts. Lovely decor and kind, helpful staff. Do go you won't be disappointed

Food was excellent and staff were friendly.

We had our Easter meal here. Very good value...full bellies all round :)

Went on steak night. Food was excellent as was the service. Thoroughly recommended, looking forward to going again.

Food was really nice. Had a lovely day with my husband,son, daughter In law and beautiful grandchildren. Would def go bk

Good service and food .. lovely pub ..comming back

Just a great place for a drink, will eat there at a later date. Very pleasant friendly staff

Lovely little cozy pub, full of character, staff were lovely & helpful, food was excellent, exceeding our expectations & oh my, the portions were very generous!! Not badly priced either! 😋😃

Just been here for mothers day Sunday dinner It was amazing. Staff where brilliant. Food was awesome And the cheese cake was the best I've ever had. Love atmosphere Will definitely be returning

Nice friendly staff. Our choice of nibbles were very tasty, especially the falafel. We both had the pie of the day and was not disappointed and served with fresh vegetables all served nice and hot however the pub was quite chilly which was a shame. Will go back again but when it's abit warmer.

Fab pub.. fab food... Great staff

Lovely little pub with parking. Food good, staff helpful, kind and polite. Been a couple of times now and will add to my places to go 😁👍

I went with my son for his birthday today and we both had a delicious, fresh, piping hot home cooked meal. The young lady serving us was very polite and efficient. We will certainly be going back. Well done to all.

We visited, quite by chance, as the other Tripadviser listed pub was not serving food! Our initial reaction was excellent, as having asked whether the pub was serving food, we were asked if we’d booked and because we had just dropped in, they slotted us in just before a flurry of guests arrived! Service was lovely, with friendly staff and very quick. We ordered the pie of the day, which was steak and mushroom, served with chunky chips and a mixed bag of vegetables. The pie was delicious and the vegetables beautifully cooked. The ambience of the pub is typical English, with beams and horse brasses. The tables are sufficiently spaced out to not cause issues getting in and out and the facilities clean and modern. All in all, we were really taken with this pub and would recommend it without reservation.

Although we're local, we'd never been to The Ship. Now we've found it, it's definitely a favourite. A lovely warm welcome, great service and delicious lunch. The pub has a great atmosphere and was all well kept. A wide variety on the menu with tasty chef's specials. Our main courses were lovely, fresh cooked and piping hot. Puds were scrumptious!

A beautiful pub with great food and friendly staff

The pub is decorated beautifully for Christmas - the welcome is warm, the beer well kept and the food freshly cooked. Couldn’t wish for a better local, the village is lucky to have the Ship.

Excellent,,, family meal, good value and freshly made food to high standard,, would 100% go again

Fantastic, family Sunday lunch

Hidden gem, warm and welcoming atmosphere with lots of draught beers to choose from. The food is excellent too

Went to the ship last night for dinner with friends, it had a very lovely Christmas atmosphere and the staff are friendly and the food was good, will be returning

Great food with excellent service

It was some time since our last visit and we were interested to see if the quality had survived Covid. We were not disappointed. The interior had been tastefully upgraded and it had a welcoming atmosphere. The menu was as wide ranging as ever and...

We had a nice family Sunday lunch here. Staff we very welcoming and the food was delicious. Would recommend. Thank you The Ship!

Great food. beautiful little pub definitely recommend

Never been made to feel more unwelcome at a venue! From the moment we arrived for our lunch booking it was made clear to us that they wanted to get finished up for the afternoon and so we skipped starters and desserts and just had the one round of drinks so we could get out of their hair! Genuinely astounded as to how little they valued our custom - we decided to have the one course and leave asap. We certainly won’t be in a hurry to come back!

Went for lunch here, people we're friendly and the food was fabulous 5*

Foodnis hit and miss has the same dish twice first time was amazing unfortunately the second time it was awful 😢

Just finished my Sunday dinner here and can’t fault the meal from start to finish the food was excellent the staff are friendly and the service was excellent too. A well deserved 5stars

Fantastic place the staff where very helpful and polite at all times. Food was fantastic thank you for making us welcome. Top Job 👍🏻

top rate for food and drinks ten out of ten for the staff

Great country pub by the river with fantastic atmosphere. Well stocked bar and very good food. The gardens are a real treat. The pub is dog friendly including eating in the bar area.

Lovely pub, good walks nearby, food good,

Excellent Sunday lunch staff very pleasant

Beautiful setting! Didn't have food, but loved the outdoor view.

Took my 92 year old grandma and 2 teenage kids for midweek lunch.Very good service, friendly staff and good food. A few menu items not available but the varied selection meant there were plenty of alternatives. Didn't wait long between courses and staff were attentive....

Great when they have enough staff and can serve bar food when you go in.

Met old friends for a day out in Spalding and booked The Ship for an evening meal. Was not disappointed. The pub is an old thatched property set next to a river, it has many seating areas by the river, out front and at the...

Great service and great food so fresh perfect

Had two lovely roast beef's and two Eton Mess. The meat was tasty and tender and the vegetables cooked very well. A delicious meal thank you. Very kind and helpful staff too

Lovely decor, attentive staff and good ale. We didn't have a meal but we will be revisiting to eat very soon.

We visited this pub while in the area. The location in a quiet area next to the river was very pleasant, friendly staff and delicious meal, we would definitely recommend it.

Nice food and ales. Homemade pie was good as was the rump steak. Will go again.

Great pub lovely food and Drink. Service is really good 😃

Nice setting and inside pleasant. Polite waiter. The food was expensive limited menu. Tripled cooked chips tasted like oven chips. Chicken pie had mainly sauce. Would not recommend.

Visited our new local today for lunch and we were not disappointed Lovely food, great staff, pub with character and they accommodated my Labrador!

We celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. Good food and pleasant surroundings.

A lovely old pub. The haddock in beer batter was divine. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub, good food and great staff. We met my son there for a birthday meal and staff kindly cut up the birthday cake for us and presented it beautifully after we had sung happy birthday. We did eat a meal there first, but they...

"GOOD FOOD An Good Frendly Sirvis" Wearth a vizit..

We were disappointed by our first visit, we were sat in a dark corner by the waitress in a fairly quiet time of day. Asked if we could sit elsewhere, told we should have reserved where we wanted to sit when booked (was never mentioned). Seats we asked to move to were empty for the entire time we were there. Food quality was good but nothing special. Staff were polite and professional, bar person very friendly. Expected better based on other reviews and not a bad experience, just not great.

Lovely menu. Plaice in a crab and butter sauce...yummy. Chimichurri flatbread...ditto! Creme Brulee? It would be rude not to! Gorgeous village pub in beautiful surroundings. Smiley and friendly service.

Good friendly old pub, good coffee reasonable menu, dog friendly has bike night weds eve April through summer worth a visit

Lovely location, amazing food and friendly service. We just moved to the area during lockdown and have been waiting to enjoy a meal here. We weren't disappointed! The takeaway style tapas was delicious. We are looking forward to tasting more of the menu once you are fully up and running again. We have been back again a couple of times now for drinks and it's such a lovely pub. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. My parents have also moved into the area recently and we have recommended them to come for a meal,they loved it.
