The Ship in Lambeth

I like the staff more than I like the pizzas

incredible, well cooked, beautiful waitresses,

A relaxing place with excellent service. Easy place to hang out alone or with someone. Bright and airy in the front with all the windows. No pubs nearby so it gives this place a solid neighborhood feel. I didn't eat but the pizzas smelled appetizing.

My favourite local pub. Nice atmosphere, lovely staff and service

Nice pizzas, friendly staff. Could do with some real ale but I'm not enough of a regular to have a wish list. Dog friendly.

Great pub with a great quiz. Brilliant hosting by Jim

My previous review of this pub was spot on and has aged well. Despite the change in management, the pub is still thriving. Pizza Mondays are always a treat, and the staff remains welcoming and attentive!

After running the quiz here for only 2 weeks Already feels like home. Whole team are lovely and make my job very easy!

The perfect spot to land after playing tourist all day. We came in just craving food and ended up having so much DELICIOUS pizza and cider! Great food and warm, friendly staff that we enjoyed shooting the breeze with. 10/10.

Fijn verblijf op goede loopafstand van het centrum. Kamer was in orde. De douche lekte wel water bij het aandoen. Heerlijk gegeten in de pub! Aardig personeel.

Great pub with rooms to stay in, also has a nice aul beer garden to enjoy your pint.

Just stopped over for a pint of Guinness. Service and cleanliness was great.

Their pizza was amazing! The clerk was very friendly and recommended IPA, which I preferred. I intend to visit again. The outdoor atmosphere is very nice, and the taste of the pizza gives me great satisfaction. i am very happy

Nice accommodation, close to the center, close to the metro and bus stops. We handled the food ourselves. The pub downstairs is great, good beer, great service, delicious pizza, satisfaction 😊

Good pizza and standard priced drinks. Staff are all really nice and the bathrooms always clean which makes a huge difference!

Nice atmosphere, very good pizza, lovely staff.

Super nice staff, good selection of beers, incredible food. Definitely recommend!

Nice friendly local. Wide selection of ales and wines. Comfortable layout with a pleasant roadside seating area. Friendly welcoming staff with a warm atmosphere.

Amazing service - Rachel was an absolute gem and made sure I had a great pizza. Would definitely visit again.

This has overtaken the dog house as the best pub in kennington ⭐️ much friendlier staff, better outdoor area, nice interior and a more local feel.

Come here all the time for the lovely beer garden and 5 star service from Ali and Jack, who literally can’t do enough for you 😊 the pizza is top tier too… long live the Ship!!!

Me and my housemate love this pub. All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and professional, particularly Ali and Jack who work on a Sunday. 😊

Brilliant little pub with great character and great pizza

Late food ; told me it was the kitchen but it was cold

Nice pub, friendly staff, and a good place for pizza and drinks.

The caffè latte is the perfect choice for an afternoon break.

Great beer, great pizza, Great staff

Simple place, but worth it for the price, there is no change of towels, but there is a coffee machine in the room free of charge, as well as milk and water in the hallway and you can also help yourself free of charge. There is a bus stop next door. I recommend.

Spent a night at the Ship. Great room, great bar atmosphere in the evening with friendly, fun staff.

Good beers, good pizza, very welcoming. Not far from the center. We resided there. They make rooms!

Great rugby pub, amazing pizza and a teacher discount!!!

João and Brad and others are the most hospitable staff you can get. Always friendly, talkative and supportive. The Ship is our escape place after work so we feel comfortable every time we visit. You can also be able to watch big games and enjoy a crafty pint, even alcohol free on draft.

Tasty pizza with three vegan options, not too crowded and loud. Seems to occasionally put football on.

We love this pub! The staff are so friendly, and Monday £7 pizza night with guest ales is the best. Recommended.

Friendly, fast, and attentive bar staff. Nice atmosphere. Maybe the best pizza I've had in London having lived here for ~15 years. Nice beers too. All round great pub!

Lovely laid back pub with a good selection of drinks and beers on tap. A nice and cosy place to drink. Monday night pizzas are £7

Excellent range of beers, and a nice atmosphere

Went after visiting the Imperial War Museum. Immediately greeted by Jack and invited in while he finished setting up chairs outside due to it raining. He gave us great beer recommendations and let us know when the kitchen opened. The pizza was great - I got a vegan, my husband got a pepperoni and we split the halloumi fries - all of it was excellent. Jack provided amazing service - he checked on us a few times and, as my husband told me to say when I wrote this, "an absolute delight." The staff at pubs can really make or break a visit and Jack made it.

Hands down the most vibrant yet chill pub in kennington. I have come here quite a few times and have always been treated with the utmost respect. Keep doing what you are doing guys!

Nice outside eating area. Pizzas good if a little eclectic in the range, very good selection if you are vegetarian. If you are a keyworker remember your ID card and to use it!

Really nice pub in Kennington, good beers on tap and really good service

Really delicious pizza and nachos! Good beer and wine! Lovely Tuesday evening at the ship 👌

Terrific ambiance, great selection of craft beer, second-to-none pizzas. The free popcorn is such a winner too. Only criticism is the staff… Quite run-of-the-mill. A smile and lack of preconceptions towards customers wouldn’t go a miss! Also, eating a pizza by the bar isn’t a great look… Will definitely come back for the food and booze, just hope for more friendly and charismatic service.

Not going back. Ask for top-up, still 3/4 inch froth. Ask again - derision from the barman. Word to the wise - pubs are supposed to be pleasant.

The staff are always really friendly and the toasties and pizzas are fantastic!

A very nice pint and excellent service.

An old haunt of mine which has been dramatically improved. Nice staff members as well

A great pizza (for my god-children) but not many GF options. Lovely bar staff.

great place for family vacation

Wonderful London pub. Great bar staff! Nice rooms with clean bedding and towels!

Surprise to find that they have lots of special beer, great beer garden to chill. Superb nice bartender to recommend you the beer you like, don’t miss it. Will definitely back to try their food.

Guter Pub mit großer Auswahl an Craft Beer. Freundliches Personal. Biergarten

Nice pic, great pizza, arrived quickly. Nice outside seating

Friendly place, nice outdoor seating area

Pizzas are awesome. I like the neighborhood pub wibe and only reason for no full stars is that time to time it can be a bit quiet.

Awesome pub, great staff and a solid menu - highly recommend!

Very nice and clean interior, cool vibe. Staff is super friendly and passionate about beer. Unbeatable pizza offer on Mondays for only £7. Would definitely recommend. I would add normal bacon to the offering as an alternative to the"fake bacon" that they offer on quite a few pizzas, for people who don't like super processed food. Otherwise those pizzas sound divine!

Very cozy and you don't hear the patrons in the bar below. A good place to sleep when you explore London for 12 hours a day.

We've been coming for beer and pizza every Thursday after five a side for a year or two. Lovely staff and excellent beers!

Very nice pub with a great selection of beer. The pizza was very tasty. The staff was really nice

Definitely not family friendly, poor service with passive aggressive tendencies

Amazing pub. Kicks off every night especially when there is an Arsenal game. Even with all those people it's quiet upstairs. Friendly staff and great pizzas. There is a meat free bacon bits on a pizza that is better than the real thing. Easy to get around with bus stops out the front.

Great pizzas, beers, and atmosphere.

Delicious pizza and varied menu. Friendly staff, great music! Definitely will come back again

Great place - vibrant, friendly and atmospheric .

Good atmosphere, friendly staff and good beers. Enjoyed the pub quiz and live football. Have never eaten a meal here (yet), bur my housemate says it's a good food.

Pub is lovely. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Great selection of beer and amazing pizzas!!

Great pizza and attentive team! 10/10

They don’t accept cash, this is a problem for tourists that must pay higher bank fees

Nice pub! Great pizzas and friendly staff. Has a big screen to watch sports

Great beer selection including spurs and porters

Great value food and drink with lovely friendly staff

Good craft beer, but pizza is average.

Really friendly, welcoming Pub.

Apparently my nashos need 60 minutes to be microwaved and brought to my table... "Disappointing" as my parents would say. Actually my mum, cuz I don't have a dad.

This is a pub with pizza. Good selection of vegetarian and meaty pizzas. We were able to pre-book for our table of 8. Very dog friendly. Close to the 360, 159 bus routes. Near to Kennington tube. Good range of beers and ciders on tap including AF.

A very pleasant pub , spacious and traditional bar areas, from drop in for a pint bar to family friendly corner and also a cosy eating area...

Their pizzas are really lovely, however they could use some more staff because the waiting time was quite ridiculous even though it wasn't very busy.

Great pub with friendly staff and the pizzas are delicious. Can't fault the place.

Very good place .Friendly staff who looked after us from entering the place till finish our meal. Had Cod and chips which was perfectly cooked 😋 .Definitely will go again.

Classico pub inglese, abbastanza fuori dalle zone più frequentate ma comunque molto comodo da raggiungere grazie alle vicine fermate di autobus. Quando siamo stati noi, l’unico piatto servito era la pizza. Pizza abbastanza buona. Ottima scelta invece per quanto riguarda i drink.

If I could give this pub a 0 star I would. Literally never make a booking here or even bother giving them your service. Left me two weeks out with no venue for my 30th, despite me making a reservation months ago. I called three months ago, spoke with management who penciled in my 30th birthday in the calendar. The reason I planned ahead is because I knew it would be the World Cup (like any football fan). They confirm that it is going ahead on the phone. I call a month later to check in again and they mention the World Cup but admit that they already have my event penciled in and that I should just send an email with information and numbers of people. I send the email and receive no response. I call yet again this evening only to have the manager say the policy was only walk ins during World Cup and that they couldn't have an event. This is now two weeks before my birthday. No notification that my event would be canceled, no response to my emails...nothing. Maybe this is what happens when a pub is just owned by some chain because they literally have 0 attachment to their customer base in the area.

🚇 Lambeth North 🍺 £5.60 Estrella ❤️ A vibrant pub with a strong craft beer and pizza game. . The Ship is located on Kennington Road, the nearest tube station is Lambeth North which is a ten minute walk. . The pub was built around 1830 and is set back from the road allowing for an outdoor space at the front. . The decor here is vibrant and eclectic which sets an uplifting tone. This is a good size pub with the orange servery taking centre stage, oh and check out those pendant lights. . The beer choice is full rotating craft beers and familiar favourites, I opted for an Estrella which was a good pint and under six quid. The food offering is pizza, most cost around a tenner and if you visit on a Monday there’s a deal £7 pizza deal. . There was a nice feel to the place and it felt like a neighbourhood pub. This pub hosts quiz evenings and also shows live sport. The service was good, the member of staff who served me friendly and served with a smile. . The @shipse11 is one of those pubs that you immediately felt welcomed in and there is a nice vibe here. The majority of the beer is sourced from local breweries which should be celebrated and the food is highly commended. This pub offers a great experience and is definitely worth a visit. . ℹ️ Information correct on visiting 24/09/22

Very friendly landlady,great pizza which I had to go and very clean

Possibly a biased review because this is our local, they serve Wandle and the staff are fab.

Went here on a fairly quiet night but the process of placing orders with the staff was quite slow. There were plenty of staff working but most were making cocktails and the only staff member taking orders appeared disinterested (even forgetting the drink part of our order). The good news was once the food had been ordered it came out really quickly. We ordered the ‘Bar Board’ which contained Hummus, Guacamole, Peperonata and Garlic Flat Bread, the Cheesy Garlic Bread and the Number 11 Pizza with Cotto Ham, Portobello Mushroom and Mozzarella. All were delicious and super fresh. So while the food was great, unsure we’d be back due to the service here.

Great pub, great staff, lovely clientelle, and delicious pizzas.

Prima pizza gegeten, lekkere, dunne knapperige bodem. Logeerden in The Ship Rooms boven deze pub, ideaal om dan even hier een hapje te eten.

It's a nice pub, just a shame it's so quiet.

Visited with some friends and sat out in the garden area. Excellent selection of beers at a good price and really friendly staff (though I didn’t eat here, a friend really enjoyed her pizza too)! Can’t wait to go back.

Friendly and nicely decored rooms

We came here for pizza after reading the great reviews. When we arrived the bar staff told us we needed to order in 15 minutes due to a back log in the kitchen, so we ordered some drinks and waited to place our order. After 15 minutes, we returned to place our order, as requested, and the bar staff staff told us that kitchen had decided to close early. I explained that they had told us to come back, and they told us, they knew, but there was nothing they could do because the kitchen wanted to close. A shocking attitude and little to no apologies by the staff. Would not recommend .

Super lieu pour dormir, boire un verre et manger ! Les pizzas sont très bonnes et le personnel très agréable !

Bit overpriced and poncy. It's not the boozer it used to be, but nice enough.

Excellent pizza! Go on mondays where any pizza is £7

Staying here from 28 July to 3 August. Lovely pub. Great, friendly staff. This is a great choice for either a small break or longer holiday. Central to most things in London. Staff can answer all your questions about buses, trains and sights. Love it.

Great place to grab a drink plenty of tables beer garden was decent

Great open space - airy inside. Pizza very good

Great pub that we hope to come back to. They only serve pizzas for food but they are really great! There are a couple of vegan options too.

Been through hard times but new owners definitely saved this pub !
