Honestly - I normally love the old ship for its normal everyday menu you can’t really go wrong. I was only in there last week with my daughter having the 2 meals for for £13.50 which was lovely. Unfortunately like many other “ pub” Christmas menu it’s fall very short of the mark. I wasn’t expect Michelin meals but I was expecting hot cooked well food. We thought we’d give it a go for his year but wish we hadn’t . Myself and my sister opted for the vegetarian option which was spinach & falafel burger with vegan ribs bbq sauce & a dairy free cheese. Unfortunately ever part of the burger was drenched in bbq sauce so it was really sloppy and overpowering . The menu said skin on fries which I would have loved and there was a vegan option which was little squares of roast potato’s. So I started the roasties which were average with a lot of them very hard and undercooked . I tried to eat the burger but it was so sloppy and over sauced I had to stop. The vegan ribs were tough and chewy. I’m not a vegan and didn’t ask for the vegan option. When they came over I asked why it wasn’t chips and he said it was to do with something in the oil that wasn’t vegan They offered to bring sone fries over but I was already disappointed and everyone else had stopped eating anyway. My meal looked untouched. I thought as a token of goodwill maybe they would take my meal off but they never end when we complained whilst paying they just said they had just come on shift and knew nothing. Such a shame as it was my mum and sisters annual Christmas get together. None of us enjoyed our meals but they really weren’t bothered.

Love this place and love the food but made the mistake of ordering the curry feast . The dip and the pot it came in looks to be straight out of asda . The nan bread was identical to the ones you get in Asda. The curry itself was identical in look and taste to microwave currys . Same for rice . But the poppadoms were 100% fresh and really nice . I won't be ordering again and will stick to burgers or sizzling dishes as these are amazing

we were greeted in a friendly way with a smile. The selection of drinks was wide. The menu offered plenty of choice and good value. The vegetarian options were varied, peppered throughout the menu, not just a single token dish tacked on at the bottom of the menu. The food was prepared and served quickly and hot. The quality of the produce was good. The location of the pub on Lee-on-the-Solent seafront is great. The views of the Solent from the wide windows is well appointed and access to the promenade is just across the road. There is an adequate sized car park and, should it be full, street parking available immediately opposite.

We were made welcome and the restaurant gave the impression of high standards, with nice features, well maintained decor and clean in appearance. Having made a visit on a recommendation, we were anticipating a reasonably enjoyable meal. The starters were enjoyable, the crispy prawns and soup of the day were delicious and served with warm bread and French butter. The pork belly was enjoyable and the presentation was very good. However the beer battered cod was a huge let down. It looked great, with crispy batter, and served with a huge portion of chips, but the fish had a weird heavy dense texture reminiscent of Spanish salted cod (it wasn't)- and was very disappointing. The chocolate brownie and the waffle dessert helped make up the disappointment.

Popped in here at lunchtime to see if we could grab a table and we are so glad we did. 2 menus £7.95 lunch or 2 for £20 which is Monday to Saturday Lunchtime and Monday to Thursday evenings(photos uploaded) You can also choose from the main menu if you want a larger version but ours were fantastic value. I had the beef Lasagne very tasty and my friend the Roast beef both were excellent. We will be back! The house Merlot is great and a snip at just over £7 for a large glass.
