The Ship Albion in South Holland

Eventually found it and guess what it don't exist

Stayed here last year good management drank lemonade pints of beer and nuts and crisps and whisky chasers in my room from the bar the and shopped locally .

Wouldn't recomend this place for it's kitchen and customer service. That places needs changes - in all aspects.

Booked a 30th birthday meal, shut the place and didn't have the manners to contact us informing us of the closure. Whole family stood outside a shut pub, never experienced such incompetence.

A good place to go for a meal with a good service.

Food was delicious and staff very efficient and attentive recommend if you want good tasty food

Life music makes this place very inviting.

Food is great accommodation could be better nice and friendly atmosphere

Had Sunday lunch which was a calvary, lots of the usual meats with loads of vegetables including probably the best cauliflower cheese I’ve ever had apart from what my wife makes. The staff were very nice and friendly so an all round good experience.

Don't book on past pictures or ratings. They don't reflect a true nor up-to-date version of what the place has become.

Disappointed. Felt extremely sorry for the lovely youngsters waiting on table. Didn't eat as there was so little choice.

Decent pub, nice selection of beer, friendly.

Great Sunday carvery. Loads of veg to choose from, 4 different meats. Landlord very welcoming, all staff made our little one very welcome to

Very good carvery excellent selection of fresh vegetables friendly staff

Booked by my in-laws. I don't think they realised it was my birthday, or perhaps they don't like me?! It was a carvery but I don't eat meat! Hubby thought the food was OK so maybe I am just a snob. Pub has an very unattractive exterior, inside was a bit better. More a drinkers pub.

Good carvery, plenty of choice of veg. Pity the gravy was as thin as water.

One of, if not THE best carvery meals we have ever had. Large portions of meat, huge variety of veg, all perfectly cooked and welcoming, friendly staff. 5*. Thank you.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Carvery, great choice of meats and veg. Yummy desserts.

Cannot fault the lunch we enjoyed today. Great value. Delicious meat in generous portions, hot freshly cooked veg. Great service. Yorkies best ever. This is probably the best Sunday lunch we've had in a restaurant.

We heard that the ship Albion was doing thai food on Thursdays so we just had to come and try it and omg it was just amazing. I had the thai green curry with jasmine rice you could tell it was freshly made and it tasted delicious. My partner doesn't like spicy food so he was recommended the fried egg noodles with chicken and for such a fussy eater he ate the lot. The flavours where just amazing. Would definitely recommend. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Popped in here for lunch on Wednesday at 12.30. The pub and restaurant was absolutely empty. We sat in the restaurant while waiting for the lights to be switched on, given the menu and then served drinks, by a pleasant young lady. The menu was very limited compared to how it was on my previous visits. However, when the food was served it was hot and freshly cooked and fairly priced. What really disappointed was how ‘soul less’ it was. No diners, no music, just quietness. Oh, that was apart from some gentleman being on his mobile phone in the bar area of the restaurant, carrying out his business calls for about an hour before leaving!!!! Ive been here many times in the past, but Im sorry, it will be my last. There are a lot better places to visit Im afraid.

WOW !! What a great menu and food. Loved it !! So tasty and a great choice of dishes in the taster menu. Can’t wait to go again. Compliments to the chef !!!!!

It is better than the ivy wall, should have gone there first instead. Good atmosphere.

Great food, Great staff, Great time, Great band 😍😍😍

We visited today for carvery well what can I say, fantastic selection of meats and a very wide range of different vegetables the most I’ve ever seen. Lovely homemade Yorkshire’s. We couldn’t manage all the meat because you just get so much. We didn’t really need it but we forced a pudding because they had lemon tart. Excellent service from all staff. Well Done.

Good wholesome food, friendly staff and not expensive.

Dog friendly relaxed atmosphere. Reasonably priced.

Food was great and service fantastic. Just a shame glasses were not cleaned properly.

ok not bean hear for a few years now thought give it a go glad we did very impressed i am with the place it is very clean foor nice and hot plenty of room at the tables a great menu to choose from nice a bright rooms the food was set out good on the plates and the knives and forks was very clean yes we will be back no messing we loved it

We’ve been frequenting this pub for a couple of years and despite there being some changes in ownership, the food quality, particularly the carvery had been very good. We booked for Christmas lunch (last year- 2018). To say we where disappointed is an understatement, for £60 a head, the food quality wasn’t great, some of the food was cold and missing items, limited table service; we were told the chef had recently left, sadly for a Christmas lunch, some of us where left hungry. However, we wanted to give the pub a second chance and popped in for a carvery on Sunday and it was terrible. Limited vegetables, Burnt Yorkshire puddings, poor service and no one asked if we wanted a dessert, we where left at our table, terrible. Even after mentioning something to the owner, she seemed very flippant (the same as Christmas). They have definitely lost our custom. I’d suggest you think twice before going, as you’ll probably be left disappointed.

Very enjoyable clean and tidy frendly and helpful staff all food is home cooked and loverly and enjoyable

Excellent Xmas dinner today lovely service.

Absolutely lovely meal. Plenty of choice. Very friendly staff. Couldn't be more helpful. It was really busy they coped excellently. Definitely go every week if only night shift didn't get in the way.

Brilliant carvery. Lovely fresh vegatables, lovely quality meats. Fantastic

Had my 50th birthday meal here good food and service

Great place and food is fabulous! Will definitely visit again

Had a family get together on Sunday at the Ship Albian, we all had the carvery and was plesently supprised with the quality of the meats (pork-beef-turkey-ham) all tender and generous helpings, the vegetable selection is the best I've ever had. Shame I live to far away!

Came with family for sunday carvery. Food was great, lovely fresh vegetables and great yorkshires. Meat was fantastic. Great chef to serve such great food. Pudding was fantastic to. Well done all

Perfect food. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Carvery was best I've ever eaten. Great choice of veg and portions of meat. 4 meats to choose from, can have them all if you like! Can go up as many times as you like for a cheap price.

Food excellent and really efficient staff, Sunday carvery , excellent choice of meats and vegetables

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food beautifully cooked

We booked a table for 3 on the 7/10/18.

Had a carvery visit this Sunday, food very good and generous helping of meat, however, we booked for 3pm and unfortunately you cannot take bookings for this time of day and have run out of stuff.... no beef, no mash...... although just before we left I an hour later I’m sure they brought a new joint of beef out, ironic as it finishes at 4pm.

Good food and service at reasonable prices. Would definitly go back.

Sunday carvery is served in the restaraunt from 12 to 4pm. We booked a table for 4 on arrival we were seated and drinks order taken. The carvery meat was a choice of turkey, gammon, pork, lamb and beef. The yorkshire puddings were huge, there were roast boiled and mashed potato. Fabulous selection of veg carrots, cabbage, brocoli, peas, french beans, leeks, cauliflower cheese. All the food looked fresh and appetizing. The 4 of us all had meals with different meat and vegetables. All meals were delicious would definately reccomend and will return.

Visited ship Albion this evening with family for my meal started eating then realised there was a black hair in my food told the waitress she just took the food no apology...then came back and asked if I wanted a fresh dinner!! As if I’d want the one with the hair in back?? then got my new meal but with half the accompaniments missing!!

Sunday lunch carvery Good choice of meat - beef, pork,turkey and gammon, enormous Yorkshire’s and a great choice of veg. Very generous portion of meat and very tasty The staff are very friendly and helpful I would go again any week

A reasonable and varied menu but service was a bit disappointing and attention to detail was lacking. Some of the food was over cooked and the salt pot must have slipped into the garlic mushrooms. To be fair we were a large group and I think the staff were a little stretched and that was reflected in the overall quality.

I went for an evening meal with a friend and was a bit disappointed in the meal. The Ship Albion is under new management, whilst the atmosphere was still excellent, there was a football match on the screen in the bar because it is open planned we had a very noisy meal which spoilt the evening. They have also changed their menu and I ordered the same meal as I had when I took my grand-daughter the week before but was very disappointed, how can you screw up a "ploughman's ", will give it a while and try it again

I took my 18 year old grand-daughter here for lunch. The meal was excellent, the service was second to none. The food whilst a little expensive was wonderful and excellent value for money. I will certainly go again and would recommend this place to anyone. A must to try.

Food is incredible and value for money

Always enjoy there food . Never had a bad meal. Atmosphere is great. Thank You

Nice large beer garden ,friendly bar staff, has a disabled toilet and a well equipped baby changing area.

Been a few times for Sunday Carvery, always good, the last visit definitely the best, a very tasty Carvery, brilliant selection of veg, amazing Yorkies! Service was great, the guy was quick, helpful & polite. Would recommend.

Absolutely rubbish food waited an hour and half for it walked out disgusted.. won't be going back

Lovely roast dinner tonight really helpful waiter

Went for a meal with work colleagues. Fresh food cooked to perfection . Enjoyed by all . Highly recommended

Went to Wednesday evening carvery - excellent food and service - also really reasonably priced.. Staff friendly especially their new chef who is amazing - his cooking is excellent and he's a lovely friendly person - and he never stops - they are very lucky to have him and hope they keep him. A totally positive experience.

we ate as a family of 3 on this occasion. decided to do the main course and starter thing. my steak was decent and the home made steak pie was reasonable. the waitress however was not interested in communicating, the food was delivered with barely a word. we finished our mains, the plates were cleared then the waitress asked if we would like our bill......so much for the pudding!!...so off we toddled somewhere else for one. i dont expect silver service in a pub but i do expect communication and basics. needless to say no tip was forthcoming. shame.

Great pub to watch the football. Visitors to the area, we were made very welcome.

We needed somewhere to eat having arrived to stay and were drawn to the Ship from the reviews on tripadvisor. Managed to book for that evening (Sat) - nothing was too much trouble, very friendly staff, swift service but not rushed. A great variety on the menu to suit all tastes - grills, sizzles, burgers, fish, curry, pie and roast in an airy atmosphere with white tablecloths ( an added bonus for a pub restaurant). Great value. Highly recommend

Great food...great atmosphere. Fantastic friendly staff who make you feel so welcome. Love it.

Great old pub, fab landlord n lovely BnB room! Well worth a visit, , and sport on the telly! No breakfast thou! Grrrrr! 😆

I ordered a steak there, it was the toughest I ever had. They also kept on getting other orders wrong.

The worst accommodation I have ever stayed in.

Good food ok went there for lunch clean staff helpful has parking will go back

We went out with a group of friends followed by drinks afterwards, the food came out quickly and hot I had the burger and I thought it was the tastiest I’d ever had, the staff were awesome and fussed over us.

The Ship, unfortunately, has the look of one of those pubs on the outskirts of town that passers-by should avoid; however, this couldn't be further from the truth. Inside, you access quite a small area when entering through the street door, which has that 'old pub' feel...but the hidden gem here is the restaurant. Prices are a bit high if you're used to pub chains, but here they are most definitely worth it. The menu has a wide range and every one looks tempting. I highly recommend trying one of their sizzling dishes, which have the duel benefit of being one of the cheapest meals, and absolutely delicious.

well my wife and friends ect got together and gave me a supprize birthday party it was well organized with my family and the staff of the Ship Albion Pub the food was very good nice and hot plenty on the plate and as usual the place was very clean and near the end one of the staff a young Irish lad bought in a birthday cake with the candles tit and the lights was put out they sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me and gave me a hand to cut the great cake it was a very nice evening i would like to thank the following people for coming MY WIFE EVE

Food absolutely brilliant. Organisation needs looking at. Staff very helpful and obliging. Definitely return.

Catered well for a large group of us. Lovely carvery.

Had a Christmas party for 30 of us last week and couldn’t fault it! Meals and plates where all hot and fresh! All staff were helpful and very professional!

We hadn’t been for a while but decided to try for my Birthday meal out. The starters and main meal were excellent ,good choices and very large portions so you won’t leave hungry. The desserts tasted amazing too. The staff were very attentive and would recommend a visit here to anyone.

Excellent Sunday carvery food & service was top notch

well back for a great meal very clean plenty leg room under tables as i am disabled good food we went on a Sunday dinner time Carvery they give you choice of beef turky or lamb you put rest of food on plate what ever you like they come to your table wen to go up to get your food it always good and hot

went for a meal here, had the 3 course ,and i can say that none of it , made me feel wow this is good starter ribs not good ,turkey roast not good about a teaspoon of gravy on mash ,had to asked for some...

Nice pub in Spalding, good food.

Good food, competitive prices and friendly service

Have been to The Ship Albion on several occasions & always been well satisfied with service, menu, food & prices.

Table booked for 28 people - food served piping hot, generous portions and really tasty. Waiting staff efficient, friendly and helpful. Really good value for money - good choice of desserts too. Definitely worth another visit.

Booked in expected bed and breakfast only found out after check in there was no breakfast available

We popped in here for a bite to eat on a Monday lunchtime and the place was empty, we ordered some drinks and sat on a table in the front bar.

Just had a really good Sunday carvery. Plenty of meat and a great choice of vegetables.

Looks a bit shabby from outside, but nice little dining room around the corner. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately there was some sort of mix up in the kitchen. Firstly they ran out of pork, then after we had reordered the waitress came to say there would be a bit of a wait (15-20 minutes she said) this turned out to be around 50 minutes! However we were not in a hurry and once the food arrived it was very good and reasonably priced. To be fair they did deduct the cost if one round of drinks as we had to wait. I would certainly return.

I love this place. The food is awesome. Well worth a visit x

We walked in to a completely empty pub and no staff. Found the staff in the other bar preparing for a wake. They said we could eat in the front bar and we decided to as we were quite hungry. We were given the tv remote to put what we wanted on sky....bit odd but nice to have some background noise as it was so quiet.Had prawn cocktail to start which was really lovely. Then went for the sizzling chicken Thai chilli with rice. It was ok...it was a bit more like sweet and sour and the chicken wasn’t the best quality. The rice wasn’t nice atall,just very congealed together and hard....it must have been re heated or something as this definately wasn’t freshly cooked rice,so I was a bit disappointed with that. It was ok but I won’t be rushing back I’m afraid.

Stayed here for 1 night nice and quiet friendly staff

Fantastic! Food was amazing, desert was the best I have had beautiful watress amazing service. Partner asked if they could make him an irish coffee did without any questioning even though it wasnt on the menu will definitely be coming back!

Excellent meal and excellent service, the four of us felt very welcome after two disabled guests of mine were badly treated at the nearby Moorings.

Excellent carvery today. Plus super sweet strawberry Eton mess.

don't let the outside put you off. nice place. good team. good food and drink

Fantastic food and nice quiet atmosphere. Have been a few times now and carvery is extensive and steaks are great.

Steaks mixed up but no problem food and service very good cheers

Been here a few times, but first time going for the roast Food was really yummy and everything was clean and efficient. Mash and gravy was a little cool but I wasn't really bothered I would happily visit again

Local to us and clean nice food

Good food but not much else to offer.

Fantastic food the best in spalding

we all went hear for a meal it was book before hand got there shown to our table and waited quite a while before some one came to take our orders then longer wait for food some was not what we what we ask for some had got and eaten theirs before the others had got theirs it was not as good as it was before

I went here as part of a group of about 30. Due to our number, our menu choices had been submitted the week before. But on arrival it came about that the Rissottos were not available. No one had spoken to our organiser about that beforehand. The service was very slow. The cynic in me says this is so that more drinks were ordered!!. However, it transpired that another group had arrived half an hour late. They were subsequently served before us. The food was reasonable although some people had issues with their desserts.

Went out for my wife's birthday booked a table At The ship Albion, our son came with his girlfriend we all had a very enjoyable meal food was excellent service brilliant couldn't fault it well worth a visit. Prices are very reasonable the food is excellent. Will definitely go again
