I have been drinking here since 1987. It was my parents local. Have so many memories here. I have just had my Mums wake, The Railway bent over backwards. The food put on was amazing. The staff fantastic. Love the traditional pub. I hope to be back soon. Thank you all. It all meant so much.

Nice to see this pub popular again. Decent family in charge, nice selection of beer at good prices. It can be mistaken for a drinking mans pub but has gardens and families visit in warmer months.

If you are a bar person you don’t ask “who’s next” being jumped ahead of when you have already been acknowledged doesn’t bode well. That’s my last visit ever !

The street food section - Firstly came from Derby to visit family and decided to have this as the menu looked good. Ordered some food (family of 4) and it was horrible, food was virtually cold, nothing was actually fresh it was ethier just heated up, covered in mostly batter or not enough chicken on the wings. The burger was quite plain and nothing special. Also, food took nearly an hour to come which is not great. For the price of the food I expected better, after I ordered I looked around and not many people actually had food there's a fair chance people were not hungry or since South Woodham Ferrers there's not really any competition and it's small community people not really saying anything. Would definitely not go here again, absolute rip off. ------- Reason for 3 stars was the pub was clean and bar staff were friendly.

Back in the 80's, this little gem of a pub was my local. As one of 4 young guys growing up in this developing town back then, we would often pop in and see the old regulars and have a drink with them. Much has changed from back then with a more modern feel given to the pub over the years to include a well laid out garden and patio frontage. One thing hasn't changed and that's the friendliness of the pub. The service is good, with a reasonably good choice of drinks on offer.

Can't imagine why there are so many good reviews of this place. Yes, it is an 'old-style' local pub, shows sports etc... but no food, nor anywhere to eat anyway, which was probably just as well, judging by the disgusting state of the toilets (worse than late night at festivals!) Had one drink and was very pleased to leave.

Amazing food and amazing customer service. The Front of house were so chitchatting and friendly it made us feel like we regulars when this was only our first visit. Our server, Emma or Emily was also so very friendly and everyone was very welcoming. We would recommend to everyone to go chelmsford miller and carters as the staff and food is amazing!!! 100% get the bbq ribs.

Lots of staff, lots of tables but struggled to see if we could come in to eat…. Told we couldn’t order a Sunday roast but could order from the bar menu, ordered, food came and it was a little on the poor side, not what I’ve seen in the photos from Google…. Asked at time of ordering if the cheese baguette came with pickle or anything else? (Not just cheese) was told yes…. Well it was just cheese with a little side salad - then it came to paying our bill… was told to go to the bar to pay… wasn’t shown a receipt and just given the card machine to pay, paid, got given the receipt ( thank god) and left restaurant got down the road then looked at receipt, realised we had been charged for an extra meal and the full price for fries when it should have been an add on price - turned around, went back to pub and had to ask for a refund- staff were saying Millie should have taken that off, she was told to do that… turns out Mille was the one we paid…. Feel a little taken advantage of… Millie also didn’t seem to care just walked off and said ” oh sorry “ with no explanation to why we were charged for a whole extra meal… won’t be returning I’m afraid.

Came today for Mother’s Day and was wowed as soon as we walked in! The pub was decorated in gorgeous Mother’s Day decorations to make all mums feel special! The food was excellent - 5 courses for £40, and each cooked to perfection. Service was, as usual, first class. If you’ve not been here before, please try it. It’s our second visit and we’ll definitely be back. THANKYOU The Ship, this is how you run a great pub and restaurant!
