The Ship in Broadland

Had a late Sunday lunch here. We booked in advance as the reviews seemed to identify it as being popular. Glad we did as our table was for 5 pm and we were able to book the meats we required in advance so as not to be disappointed. The meal was excellent, I had the roast beef, hubby the pork and turkey, all very tender. Veg cooked so it still had a bite accompanied by a majestic Yorkshire pudding which dominated the plate. Couldn’t fault it. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Only given four stars because after such a large meal we couldn’t face trying a dessert, however watch this space as we shall be returning!

Good food and friendly atmosphere.

All good. Sunday roast was lovely.

Absolutely amazing food, great beer, and lovely staff. Wasn't originally planning on calling in, but I am now glad we did. Definitely recommend other boaters to visit. Oh, and very dog friendly - even if you have a fuzzy git of a dog who likes to lay right in the middle of the floor.

It's a quiet time of year, so the atmosphere was lacking. Food was good and tasty. Very helpful staff. I'm back to Reedham June next year. This place will be 30 yards away. You can see they cater for a lot of people, by the seating, inside and out. Worth a visit, definitely

Lovely food highly recommended if your stopping in Reedham, moored here overnight

Fabulous food, very friendly welcome.

Great place for food and a pint 👌

We've been coming to The Ship in Reedham for years, so it's about time we wrote a review to tell everyone else how wonderful it is! Maria and her wonderful team are welcoming, friendly and amazing at what they do. The location, food and beer is just perfect. Here's a photo of our Sunday Roast today. Excellent!We look forward to coming back for many years in the future! 😊

A real Norfolk gem. Local beer, well cooked Pub Food and a stunning view. The Ship 'crew' are very friendly! Recommend the Sunday Roasts, they are better than my Wife's!!

Lovely evening in the Ship. Great staff and manager. Beer in great order and good to see they had the local brewery beer on. Food good. Happy to recommend it espec as it is open on a Monday when neighbouring pub isn't.

Lovely pub and staff pictures of the food say it all very tasty. 😋 Also very dog friendly all in all a lovely evening enjoyed with friends

Food was absolutely delicious. Roast dinner and sausage, egg, chips. Very friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere. And also dog friendly, what's not to love.

Great food, and amazing service. The waitress Serena and bar maids were very friendly and welcoming. Good beer. Would definitely recommend it.

Took the ferry to the ship. I had seen the food on Google reviews so we thought we would try it and we weren't disappointed. The ship wasn't busy so service was very quick. Lovely view of the broads. Reedham is a lovely village to walk around also. The pub has plenty of seating inside and outside. We had chicken and bacon salad which was really tasty.

Great little pub on the river, very friendly and the food is amazing. Sunday roast and lunch on separate days, all meals and desserts were fab, as was service. Its a must if you're in Reedham.

Nice riverside pub, good food, good service, god beer

Great food and service We went for an annual friends catch up so where a large booking and the staff managed us so well. We will be back, food was amazing

Wow the best meal I have had out for ages, off the specials board just yum.

A great Riverside pub to enjoy on a summers evening.. Always has a good selection of ales and beers. The food is cooked to order and there are always specials on the board but the fish and chips are delicious.

Absolutely stunning location. Lovely tasty food . Friendly efficient staff. We ate outside overlooking the river. My only criticism is my visit to the loo. Drab and unclean. Needs a bit of tlc and wouldn’t take much to make an improvement here. Badly neglected,

Reviewed before but now in prime voating tourist season. Pub still good, haven't eaten here in a long time so can't review food but there's plenty of tourists about...some respectful, some let's say not. Still great for locals or if you'd prefer a more 'out of town' rowdiness in the summer season

Absolutely beautiful location, staff were lovely and the food and drinks were fantastic. We will be back as soon as possible!

A very happy and friendly place Food is really lovely Well worth a visit Excellent

Beautiful location, absolutely delicious food, both drinks and food were very reasonable. Friendly, efficient staff. Will definitely return.

Great food great staff and a great atmosphere. Everyone there is very friendly. Not the most amount of space but there is a dedicated pool table and games area. Dogs are welcome and there is plenty of outside seating if needed.

Taken by surprise by the seal sunbathing outside, but a local told me that's where it likes to be. Nice treat. Great Sunday lunch, with great service.

Lovely restaurant on the river just by the rail swing bridge, food looked lovely however we only had a brownie ice cream sundae, (had a cinnamon wafer which was delicious!) beautifully maintained gardens were most of the guests were sitting. Pool table: £1 a play. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Lovey walking route along the riverside, up to the train station, across to the ferry and loops back through a pathway through the field.

Lovely lunch, very reasonably priced

Really lovely pub. Food was excellent, great atmosphere. Can't fault it.

Lovely little pub with children's play area, pool table. Good drinks and food was excellent. Cannot fault this place for a stay overnight on the broads. Staff also very friendly, will definitely call again when next on broads. Best meal this week 😋

Went for something to eat. Very disappointed. Food overcooked. Tables dirty. Shame. Venue generally attractive with close view of river and swing bridge.

Lovely friendly staff and great tasty food. Highly recommended.

Don’t normally write reviews… but Stopped in to see if they had any tables for Sunday dinner. They were very welcoming. Sat down by the river and enjoyed the BEST roast we have eaten EVER! Great portion, beef beautifully cooked, red cabbage, roast carrots, long stem broccoli and roast parsnips beautifully seasoned and flavoured. Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and stuffing all amazing and nothing dry! Also ordered a kids meal and the chicken was well cooked in a fresh breadcrumb batter. They were more the obliging in adding roast potatoes and peas.

All I can say is wow! This place was amazing the service the food everything! We called to see if a table of 9 could come for food after another pub close by refused our booking and they were more than happy to accommodate! Thankyou so much

Once again The Ship has surpassed all expectations! We visit once every year when on holiday and today was the best we’ve ever experienced! Helped by the sunshine and beer too! If you’re holidaying in Norfolk, you have to come to The Ship in Reedham, it’s just simply a must!

What a lovely place great food friendly happy staff and really nice atmosphere

Friendly staff. Great food. Ham egg and chips. Chilli all made with good ingredients tasted divine. Brownie delicious and sunk us! Thank you.

The bar staff are very friendly the food was beautiful. I had the fish it was very tasty. The pub’s location is spot on. Situated on the river bank.

Great pub with very fresh tasting lovely food. Worth a visit

A family trip to Reedham, and we spent some time in the evenings relaxing at The Ship's garden watching the boats go by on the river. The Ship is a welcoming place, with an outside pub garden, a pool room and food available on an evening, featuring a variety of fare from pizza's, burgers and a hearty Hunters Chicken. But on Thursday night the specials included a couple of curries, and we opted for the Curried Sea bass with black onion seed and coriander, roast potatoes, samphire and curry sauce. Four of my favourites, roast potatoes, samphire, curry and sea bass. So they were already onto a winner, and once I had tasted it, they had definitely won me over. To the extent that I tried to get the recipe from the chef, who unfortunately was not forthcoming. So I would definitely recommend bobbing into the Ship if in the area, whether its for a quiet pint contemplating by the river, or a chat with the locals and a meal, it's all good.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and great outlook onto the river Yare. A warm welcome was offered and we indulged in 2 lovely meals here. The seabass with coriander potatoes and curry sauce was exceptional. Well worth a visit

Really friendly staff, a wonderful guest ale at a ludicrously cheap £3 per pint and - wonder of wonders for anyone staying on a boat equipped with toilet facilities that the average lilliputian would consider on the stingy side - the cleanest gents I've ever seen in a pub! We might well have to stop off on the way back as well.

Stopped off the boat for a quick drink. Great spot on the river. Amazing place to watch the swing Bridge in action.

What a lovely place we was on the broads and so pleased we stop here for the night start of with a drink enjoying boats going past and decided to go there in the evening was great food starter , main and dessert you could tell it was all home made and lovely hospitality too just shame we not around to try the Sunday roast make sure you don’t miss out well worth stopping by.

Shut Tuesday lunch 2pm June 18th 2pm.

The Ship in a lovely quaint village pub set right by the Reedham swing bridge, What a beautiful setting. Had a lovely pint of doom bar which was very reasonable at £4, and a coronation chicken ciabatta open sandwich chips & salad, followed by a waffle on a caramel bed, with ice cream & whipped cream🥰 Good job I was on a walk to help burn some of the calories😂 What an amazing pub, amazing service, amazing food for only £14 and just all round amazing! Come here for a meal & drinks you'll definitely not be disappointed😊

Fantastic food and service with a great view of the river

Outstanding food and service with a great view of the river would highly recommend coming if you are nearby Will definitely come again

Great food, venison tagliatelle just wonderful. Local beer served plus a wonderful beer garden to watch the boats and the trains go over the swing bridge. Well worth a visit indeed

The pub had no chef. They offered us a dry evening, and then order a takeaway so that we got fed. Thank you for being accommodating and forward thinking

Just fab all-around and dog friendly amazing hosts. The best.

Fab Sunday lunch with lovely friendly service 😍

Lovely riverside pub next to railway swing bridge. Garden where you can watch the trains and boats. Lovely friendly welcome and good beer.

Sunday Lunch ... fantastic ... Sing song in the riverside garden after .. karaoke.. family run business .. locals really friendly ... 10/10 from me ...

One of the best Sunday roasts ever!

Great welcome (from the local clientèle too) Super food at Thursay evening prices a bonus!

Absolutely love coming here, particularly the beer garden in the summer. One of those pubs you can spend hours at. Reasonably priced and food is good too.

Wonderful atmosphere, lovely views, amazing service and really great food! The Ship has been one of our favourite spots when visiting Reedham for years now but the latest visit was so lovely, I had to review. The Ship has a perfect position on the river by the Swing Bridge. The atmosphere is always spot on. We go now with our young family as we appreciate the relaxed atmosphere with the added bonus of the beer garden with slide for the kids. Our latest visit was so so lovely. The food was seriously good, the current managers have really upped the game with the food! I had the jerk chicken burger off the specials. Sooooo good. 100% recommend The Ship.

cant fault this pub ! fabulous food always hot fresh and very tasty good view over the river lovely garden great friendly staff and my dog is always welcome

Lovely place, friendly staff and very accommodating towards same odd food swaps!

What a great find. We're only on holiday but were treated like locals, such a friendly pub and village. Incredibly dog friendly. We haven't eaten here yet but definitely would and the menu looks good 👍

We had a fabulous meal, reasonable price for amazing ingredients. My sea bass was cooked to perfection. Staff were wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

Walked in to be greeted by a friendly blonde lady, ordered steak toastie and chips and ham/cheese toastie. Both were outstanding, £9 each, so can't complain at all. We'll be visiting again.

Lovely place to eat at, the staff were lovely especially our waitress. The food is all made fresh so no microwaved meals.

Went today for Mother’s Day and had an excellent roast dinner and delicious dessert. Lovely atmosphere and great service.

Busy,norwich v liverpool on telly good atmosphere never ate but food looked good

Love this place plus food excellent

We have visited The Ship almost from the day we arrived back in the UK in 2004 and have never been that impressed. In fact we avoided it for several years as it was not very welcoming. So, why do we feel we now need to write a review some twenty years later? Well the honest answer is that The Ship has been transformed! The Ship is a pub restaurant situated right next to the Victorian swing bridge which in itself provides a delightful backdrop in the Summer as you relax in the delightful, well cared-for garden and even provides entertainment as it silently swings open or closed to allow the passage of river traffic or trains accordingly . The bar has a fine range of ales, a very small wine list and is spotless. The restaurant offers a small range of standard fare yet delicious pub-food which never fails to hit the spot (best whitebait we have ever tasted). However, we urge you to check out the specials board. The chefs are encouraged to present daily "specials" which are always a delight and definitely worth trying! To identify one that stands out above the rest is almost impossible as they are all scrummy! However, I am an absolute devotee of the slow-roasted pork belly. Truly heaven on a plate! We are also great fans of the Sunday Roasts. The meats are a delight as they melt in the mouth! Then there are the deserts... Now those of you who know the short redhead and I will now be reeling back "aghast" as your re-read that last statement as you know that we do not eat deserts. However, for The Ship we make an exception! Someone in the kitchen is obviously passionate about preparing and serving them and we find them difficult to resist (especially the brownies)! All I will say is make sure you have left enough room for a desert as the portions are wickedly large! Then there is the service. All we can say is "Well Done Team"! The welcome on arrival is always warm, there are always lots of smiles and there is obvious attention to detail. Nothing ever seems too much trouble and every guest is treated like a VIP. So, why wait until now to review what has effectively become our "local"? Well... Our visit last night is what has prompted this review. The owners have rearranged the layout for the New Year and it makes what was great before even better! The "new" restaurant area is most convivial and I am sure will provide the perfect ambiance for diners! Well done again! Oh! Almost forgot... The new coffee machine is a very, very welcome addition! Delicious again! Thank you and well done to all the team at The Ship, Reedham!

The service at The Ship was friendly and attentive, and I was really happy that they didn't treat vegan diners as a nuisance or freaks, but simply wanted to make sure everything was just right for us. The food itself was very good, and fairly priced.

amazing roast dinner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lovely cosy atmosphere, a perfect traditional pub, good grub and lovely company.

Well, my wife and I went on a very long walk and came across The Ship in Reedham. We fancied a roast and my goodness, it did not disappoint! Every part of this dinner was amazing! The roast turkey was melt in your mouth and the veg was amazing! Had a pudding that was home made and have never tasted anything like it! A brownie can be dry but this was the most incredible pudding I have ever had! Check this place out!!! Amazing and busy atmosphere, amazing front of house and friendly staff! Great find and we will certainly be back! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!

Had the best roast dinner... Beef was so tasty and all the veg delicious and super hot. Yorkshire puds amazing and roast potatoes stunning too. Lovely ale and vino to match. We will be back very soon👍👍

Stopped here for lunch yesterday with our dog. Nice friendly pub, great service and nice food - we both opted for a pasta off the specials and both dishes were really nice. Decent pint of Aspall and a good rose wine - would recommend.

Friendly and helpful staff and amazing food and beer. Visited during the floods and the staff couldnt have been more helpful with recommendations on where to go and what to do in the rain!

Great pub in a lovely location. Very friendly staff, good range of drinks, and excellent food. We had baked Camembert with honey and sage, then a panko chicken burger, and a mahoosive tomahawk pork steak with mash and plenty of veg, all superbly cooked.

Four of us had dinner at this lovely pub. The service was only surpassed by the excellence of the food. The pork tomahawks were fantastic. I personally will be returning as soon as possible.

We visited here when we moored in Reedham on a Sunday and it was the only place that served food after 3. Three of us had Sunday lunch and one had bangers and mash. They were all nice but not fantastic and the Yorkshire pudding looked like a ready made one. Our desserts were delicious though and the staff were friendly. We had a great night joining in the local quiz and I would definitely go back but would choose something different to eat.

Good experience with good views

Popped in while having a walk . What a lovely pub and so interesting watching The swing Bridge ,Boats and Trains in there lovely beer garden. Beer was brewed local and very nice too. Had a bowl of chips 🍟 best ever Lush !! Young blonde lady behind bar was very helpful and friendly

I.absolutely love the atmosphere, Mr. Mrs Rodda the landlords Chefs care and love in every dish. Highly Recommended

Nice riverside pub Had a nice pint of tap and run from woodfordes. Quite like wherry it's a nice pale ale

This place is perfect after ad day on the Norfolk Broads. Lovely setting by the river and great food. Staff are very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended

Food here was absolutely spot on. All fresh home made good grub. Staff are all lovely and helpful. Will definitely be returning whilst here on holiday.

Popped in here on a walk with the dog. Sat outside. Nice pub lovely garden and views. Dogs well catered for too. Staff friendly enough. Would return and maybe eat also.

Lovely area,lovely food. Looking forward to next time already

Beautiful flowers and a good garden along the river. Nice pub food and friendly service.

Visited with friends. Not a particularly pleasa atmosphere. Staff could do with some training in customer service . The place was generally run down with back of auction furniture in the food area . This could be a great little pub with a little professional management, and some money spent on it.

Great pub plenty of outside seating by the river good meal selection staff excellent

Menu was basic and food was sufficient but not great. The ladies who work there though are super amazing and super friendly.

Thanks so much for a lovely meal tonight guys! Great food, friendy atmosphere and kind staff! Highly recommend and pleased with our service. Thanks again 😁

A lovely riverside pub with a good pub food menu and great beer. Gets very busy on sunny days which can affect the menu availability so booking can be a good idea. The waiting staff and kitchen work very hard to please so always worth a visit. 👍😊

Fantastic pub. Good food and a great atmosphere

My wife and myself travelled from Norwich to visit the Ship Inn so we could have breakfast and watch the ladies World Cup final. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome just as if we were regulars at this establishment. The breakfast was very tasty and served in very good time and with a smile. I would like to thank them for the welcome we got. My son Matthew lives a couple of roads away from this inn so we will definitely be visiting again hopefully in the very near future.m

Good food, staff helpful, dog friendly. Really nice outside space

My son came up from Kent to take me out for a Birthday lunch. I thought The Ship at Reedham would be ideal. There were good reviews on here and it looked reasonable. What an experience! I was a little surprised at the price of the roast at £18.50, which seemed a little pricey. Cue the meals. 3 thin slices of beef on 1 meal; a small piece of chicken on the other and my belly pork was so tough I had to ask for a steak knife. I still nearly needed fillings working my way through each mouthful. The roast potatoes were not cooked for long enough. My son had a taste of the pork and gave up trying to get through it. When I got the steak knife, I told the waitress that the meat was very tough. She then asked if everything was ok "apart from that" my son pulled a face to indicate that he was still eating and she just walked off. We finished the meal and we were told to go to the bar to pay. I asked if there was a manager we could speak to and the waitress responded that I would have to go the bar and speak to the barmaids. In the event, another family member went to the bar. The barmaid ultimately only charged us for drinks, but there was no apology, the last plate was still sitting with uneaten food on our plates and no-one seemed in the least concerned that we had had such an awful experience. Thoroughly ruined what should have been a lovely outing. I will never use this pub again.

As a large family group, we were staying in Reedham and fancied eating out one evening. We called at lunch to make a 6pm reservation for 13 people and we’re happy that they could fit us in - and the dog. We arrived a little...

I love this pub. Beautiful riverside location and great food. You may have to wait a little while for food as it's all cooked to order but the wait is worth it. They usually have a local beer or two on tap as well which is even better if it's from the nearby Humpty Dumpty brewery

We had a decent family meal here last night, it was nicely cooked decent portions and we all enjoyed what we ate. A slightly wider vegetarian choice would be good.

Had a great pork belly roast with a great selection of vegetables. Would recommend it. Overlook the river yare and has a nice beer garden plus good selection of drinks.
