The Ship in Thurrock - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had a lovely roast there today, staff were very good already booked again

The new garden area is fantastic once the build work has finished it will be even better

Everytime we come they're not serving food

Friendly pub , great food , all welcome.

Nice little find pleasant surroundings inexpensive food good presentation 😋

It was very busy when we visited and car parking was difficult with only one space available. Service was slow, I presume because it was so busy. Main meals arrived 30 minutes after ordering. Haddock au gratin with a poached egg, couscous, new potatoes and salad was OK,but the fish was overcooked and the egg yolk hard, not runny. 4 mains, 3 desserts, soft drinks and teas/coffees came to just over £25/head. Decor inside is very dated. I'd been there back in the 70's and still recognised much of it. They are refurbishing the outside seating area, which is looking nice. Staff are very friendly and pleasant

Called in here for the first time yesterday & was pleasantly surprised. The new garden area is fantastic & we had the £10 meal options, which really were superb value & quality. You definitely need to book for Sunday lunch inside.

Simply Stunning food and service very polite friendly staff a warm welcome from the moment we walked in

Great place for a drink, food is fantastic, afternoon tea is superb. Good beer garden too

This was my fourth visit, each time with different friends or family, and as with every other visit, myself and my guest were very impressed, a warm welcome, a fine real ale and the food was first class. As I like to travel by public transport and live in Gravesend it is now a labour of love to reach the pub, what with the bus service no longer available from the station and the Gravesend to Tilbury ferry ceasing to operate. However, this will not deter me, the food, beer, service and atmosphere is well worth the effort.

Beautifully cooked and well presented food at reasonable prices, can't recommend The Ship enough and looking forward to going back.....

A lovely atmosphere...perfect place to join friends over a delicious meal. Food was presented well, tasty and of excellent quality. Value for money.

Very good food at reasonable price. Friendly service. Building is being renovated.....as it does need a bit of TLC. We will return

Just had lovely afternoon tea here with a friend. Food was lovely and staff very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Really great pub. Good selection of drinks food was great. Outside space being g developed

Lovely place, food great, the staff were lovely and friendly.

First time going & was not disappointed, lovely food really was, and really reasonable prices. Nice variety of dishes for the lunch menu as well

Lovely food. Nice place to meet with friends

Visited for first time for a family birthday meal. We had a lovely time. Service was super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, we all had the roast options, the mixed roast in particular was very good. Very broad and varied menu, definitely something for everyone. Some amazing desserts too, eton mess and waffles highly recommended.

Popped in for a sandwich for lunch but the amount of food that came was a meal in itself. Excellent value for a really tasty meal.

Fabulous family get together meal, all food was spot on and I particularly liked the attention to detail you get here that is often lost elsewhere, the ambience is lovely too. We see some afternoon teas come out while we were there which looked great too so planning that for our next meet up.

Came here for lunch today with my Mum. The staff were lovely, warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, and plenty full and lots of choice on the menu. We have lived nearby all our lives and this is the first time we have visited. Will definitely be returning.

Highly recommend the food, the service was excellent. Lovely family meal.

I've been here a few times now, as we absolutely love the food, the choises, the presentation, and the staff are fantastic

Had a roast for my nephews birthday ,it was so nice,and a nice friendly atmosphere.

Today for our mother's day tea it was fantastic ,we have had afternoon tea at many venues,and this by far was the best.

Very welcoming family pub, they go above and beyond for you. Food was lovely.

Breakfast in here is by far the best in the area Always a warm reception

Great place for a meal in a traditional pub.

A last minute decision to lunch here and what a lovely choice. Plenty of choice on the menu, well cooked, generous portions and great value. The restaurant was busy with a nice ambiance.

Nice traditional pub. Good atmosphere and excellent staff.

Had a really lovely meal on Sunday, nothing to much trouble as we had a gluten free and elderly parents with us. We all had a lovely time , good atmosphere, food and service. We will definitely be back and also recommend to our friends and family.

Would certainly recommend. I popped in for a pint a couple months back and found it to be a cracking pub. Lovely interior, good prices and atmosphere. The landlord (who was behind the bar) was really welcoming and helpful. I'll be going back when next in the area.

Boxing day family dinner for 21 exalent service food Thankyou Paul Tracy and all the staff

Really lovely food. Great staff.

Lovely place, friendly staff, good food and beer is excellent

We had our Christmas lunch here on Tuesday, I was surprised at the quality of the food and presentation .. service was good just the right amount of time between courses well worth a visit.

Visited as a large group of about 20. Food was good, service was good and friendly except that we seemed to have to wait a long time for the dessert course. I would go there again

Been here 3 or 4 timed now for food. Great price, good quality always. From sandwiches to wraps, and full meals. Great staff, literally a little gem at the end of the road. As Arnie says " we'll be back "

Found this lovely breakfast stop by accident this morning. Excellent breakfast with good quality ingredients and great value. Will definitely be back .

First visit. Only popped in for a coffee. Really lovely friendly staff. Planning on visiting again for a Sunday lunch. Very clean and well presented.

Really lovely food all fresh and variety and well worth the money I will go again and have afternoon tea

Lovely pub serving really good food, the Sunday roast is particularly worthy of a mention and recommendation but whatever you choose from the menu you will enjoy. Friendly and welcoming staff too.

Visited for our Club (ELSAS) yearly lunch, everyone in group was complimentary, without exception.

We went to the ship for the first time today and we were not disappointed the food was lovely and the staff are really friendly we have already booked to go back in a couple of weeks

Popped in for a spot of lunch before a visit to Tilbury fort. The staff were all welcoming. Good food and not dear. Had sausage and chips myself and very good sausages, can't beat a good sausage 😉 Nice little kids area and outdoor covered seating to keep out of the sun or rain

First time to The Ship and it won't be the last , the food was great and the service was very good .The gut buster burger was very tasty . Lacked a bit on atmosphere but we was early diners. Highly recommend you give The Ship a visit .

Never been here before but Sunday lunch was very good. Service was good. Bread and butter pudding was lovely.

A great welcoming pub,food is very good, and staff are friendly.

Lunchtime visit as a group of 6 - lovely food and good, friendly service. Looking forward to a return visit very soon!

I would definitely recommend here for afternoon tea, lunch & dinner. Can't fault them. Good value too! Delicious 😋 Today I had BLT baguette which was lovely & filling came with salad & fries. Good friendly staff.

Very impressed both with the selection, quality, value and service. We'll definitely go back next time we're in the area. Thank you!

The food was very tasty. The service was very quick. I am pleased

Stayed for drinks only. Lovely pub, will definitely be back.

10/10 family friendly pub very accomodating

Four of us just had Afternoon Tea here..great service,delicious food and great value for money(£15per person),they even boxed up what we couldn't eat so we could take it home. Also extra teas & coffees were given for no extra charge. Would definitely recommend,well worth it.

Thank you to staff at the The Ship had am amazing evening X

This pub is improving all the time. Only rated 3 stars a couple of years back, would recommend 10 now if I could. Lovely pub, with lovely staff and great staff.

Great atmosphere and delicious food

Another fine meal at the ship. Always attentive service and food is excellent.

Excellent pub in an excellent location within walking distance to the fort. Great food, freshly made and cooked. One of the best points of this lovely pub is the staff, very welcoming and so friendly.

Smashing food. Large menu and very flexible.

Great food, great menu choices, great value with great service! Never visited the pub, although lived here all my life, but will SERIOUSLY visit again! And look forward to my friends ending too.c

Many years ago I lived in this gorgeous little village. My husband and I went in this pub ONCE the whole time we lived there as we found it a very hostile and “cliquey” environment and vowed never to go in again… fast forward about 35 years and I am invited to a baby shower for my besties daughter. She chose this venue although I did raise an eyebrow, but she had put a lot of time thought effort and money into this lovely event. It was also my besties birthday so all happy celebrations and everyone looking forward to it. I’m sad to say the passage of time has not meant that the owners of this establishment have had any improvement on their social skills. (I find out it’s still in the same family so no surprise there). It’s not what you say it’s how you say it !! The passive aggressive intolerant attitude here is palpable ! Never have I know in a social setting such negative antisocial vibes. I could go into a lengthy description of the afternoon but that is I feel tedious as there were so MANY issues. We’re I not a guest at this lovely event I would of most certainly given my feedback at the time in person but it wasn’t appropriate. Knowing how uncomfortable, unwelcome and strained the afternoon was and how much that had been put into this special time was simply deplorable. Having been in business myself I am fully aware of customer service and profits but it’s of paramount importance that the customer feels at the LEAST welcome, wanted and have value for money. None of which we had the pleasure of unfortunately. So if your looking for a venue to celebrate, feel welcome and for good value I suggest you research well and if this place is on your list place it low down.

Lovely pub, food was very tasty, very friendly staff.

Nice little pub didn't have food just lots of beer.

We booked The Ship’s restaurant for my in-laws small wedding reception - 23 of us in total. Tracey and her staff were all very welcoming, very professional and they made excellent hosts. We had never been to The Ship before but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. The food was to a high standard and many of the guests commended the meals they had ordered. Thank you all for such a lovely experience, it was the perfect end to a memorable day. Michael

Afternoon tea was very nice, service was good. I would come again. Forward a couple weeks we came again for mothers day, food was outstanding and service was quick.

Great food, bit of a wait for it though, but overall very good

On Saturday the 18th, they had a great live band. Fantastic.

Would be 4 and a half stars but can't do halves and I'm not sure anywhere is a 5 but all round a very decent meal was had by myself and my partner

Absolutely delicious afternoon tea with very friendly service. We will return. The only improvement I would love to see is car park being resurfaced, it is very stony and as a wheelchair user I found that very difficult trying to avoid the worst areas as didn't want to burst a tyre on my wheelchair

Great local pub with tasty food

We had an excellent 3 course Christmas meal at The ship today. The meal was excellent and considering the chef and serving ladies were dealing with a party of 30 they did an incredible job.
