The Ship Gateshead in Gateshead - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pub. Lovely decor, staff and atmosphere.

Dog friendly, great food, great beer selection. Nice beer garden and a log burner in the colder months.

Can’t believe I’d never been till tonight. Good food, great service and atmosphere. Will be back with our dogs too!

Very nice cosy place, friendly staff and service and food was good.

Great bar and service amazing views.

Barmaids were friendly and waitresses were very helpful. Roast Beef Sunday dinner was lovely.

Great place to sit outside for a drink and food on a summer day. Food was decent but the price was good. It took quite a while to get the food brought out. Child and dog friendly. Could have sat there all day and watch the world go by to be fair.

Booked table for 4 but turned away as kitchen closed at 6 yet people sat outside eating. Online says kitchen specifically is open for another 2 and half hours.

There was 5 of us on Sunday 4 th august table 7. 2 of the group ordered steak and ale pie and weren’t impressed. My husband ordered fish and chips. The fish batter was burnt black. How a cook could be comfortable sending it out I can’t comprehend. I wanted to send it back but hubby didn’t want to make a fuss. Will NOT be back.

A lovely place, but under the impression everything is frozen, when asked if I could just have normal chips for my fussy son instead of skin on fries I was told no we don't have them I then said can you not just peel the skin off? "No we can't they are frozen" asked for a bread bun also they came out with 2 slices of rank bread as the buns were frozen and have to be toasted. Bit ridiculous for the price, burger was poor 2 3oz burger in a bun with chips for £13 they need to change their menu its poor, for the burger meal it shouldn't have been more than £9. Makes you think are most other pubs these days just cooking overpriced frozen food

Lovely afternoon having a few drinks sat outside

Went in with my partner. Her wine was nice but my pint of Landlord was tarty. A 'funday' was about to start so the thought of being surrounded by lots of screaming kids filled us with horror and we walked to the superior Engine Room up the road.

Great all round. Food and atmosphere was great as are the views. Just took a while for food to arrive. Draughts on tap we’re outstanding, one of the best line-ups around.

Didn't eat so can't comment on food but Sunday dinners have looked good. View is what I love here. Great on a dry day! Seem to remember that the children's play area is good too.

Went for a Sunday lunch and it was by far the worst I have had. Nothing fresh.will not be back for food although it was a nice pint.

Beautiful countryside pub, friendly staff and spotlessly clean throughout. Refurbished to a very high standard a couple of years ago and the staff and management have this place looking fantastic. Set on a hillside this pub has a great vista when sitting in the beer garden

Booked for Sunday teatime to be told @5.30 all food thrown away as they did not have my online booking despite email confirmation and that ovens on self clean so no food. 2 other walkins followed in same. Went previously to be told no rice for curry after it was served with chips and another item was not available after order was taken, so that came after everyone was finished. Used to be a good place but 2 other pubs nearby far more reliable and as good so won't be going back after at least 5 years patronage, even during COVID when we picked up take away.......

Staff were great. Friendly and helpful. Good selection of drinks. The food was great, cooked well and nicely plated. Family friendly, Dog friendly, loads of outside seating and tables. Lovely views of the countryside. I would recommend.

Got the this dog friendly pub which when they seen my dog oh god its white wouldn't let us sit at a normal table .and when what's the smell it's dog oh god from the staff never felt so uncomfortable in a please horrible people.

Great atmosphere, always plenty of dogs there. Service isnt the best, often only 1-2 people working bar and tables when busy

Amazing from start to finish .. we had our wedding event here and the food and service and hospitality of the staff was fantastic … nothing was too much trouble and they catered to our every needs … me being the nervous bride had no reason to worry it was a brilliant day … Thank you Penny & the team I highly recommend this place .. book your “do” here you will Not be disappointed x

Great place to go for all the family! Even the four legged ones!

Visited yesterday, my sister her dog, and Mother - we all ordered fish & chips, what came was batter and chips! Sadly very little fish on all three plates. Ordered and paid for a cup of tea for Mother, that never come, we had to ask the young lad who brought the meals out. I can honestly say, this was the worst fish & chips I've ever had! No one even came to ask how the meals were, which also surprised me. For £49 you need to up your game!!

It is a small and cosy place. Had a great time as they had Andrew Watkin on who is a great guitarist and singer. Great set of staff at the place. Didn't have food, so I will have to pop back sometime to give my opinion. Keep up the great work.

In listening to live music great night very busy and popular

Worst customer service ever.. arrived at 1..4 adults and 1 toddler.. sat there for an hour n a half and and probably would be still sitting there had I not got up and asked where our food was.. my grandson was starving and getting really tired of just sitting there .. food arrived at 2.45 pork dinner with crackling and veg doesn't come with cracking and veg you have to ask for it.. Nice food when you finally get it but customer service let's it down ..

Enjoyed my meal, just had a light bite but got plenty.

Good food and choice of beers. Lots of space outside for those dimmer days ahead. Dogs allowed inside on those cooler winter days.

I’d call in for a drink as it’s a nice pub but as a restaurant, I wouldn’t recommend the food. It was more like Asda cafe than home cooked

Friendly staff. Food was good Views excellent

lovely pub only had drinks lovely pint food coming out looked very nice

Lovely food, service is good aswell but you can only get a table if you book as its always busy

We met with a group of ten to eat. We'll presented with friendly staff.

Absolutely love this place !! Such a lovely friendly Warm greeting from the lads behind the bar as Spon as you walk in your made to feel at home. The fire is always lit and the views over the fields are just lovely. There is so much to chose from the menu and having tried quite a lot of it I can say we've never been disappointed. Slightly more pricey than your average pub lunch however it is well worth the little extra cos the food is so so nice. The lads behind the bar deserve a nice tip as well they just make the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Good drinks and great views from the beer garden

First time back at the ship in nearly 2 years and what a difference staff 100%better service food lush will defo be back

Went for lunch and it was great. Nice beer and a tasty chicken burger

Very nice meal on a Thursday afternoon. Would recommend

Great place to eat and stay over in campervan. Great service Friendly staff

Great pub, great staff and fabulous views over the valley. 👍

Camper van , pub stopover Thanks Dan

Stayed overnight in our motorhome, had a lovely meal, good portions. Staff were very friendly & service was quick. Asked if we could take food out to the Motorhome in the evening, which was no problem. Very good experience so will definitely come back

Lovely place and the staff were really friendly.

The staff are lovely friendly and helpful...and it's been busy each time . But her have been for Sunday lunch twice recently and all 4 have complained the food was luke warm . They did heat it and it was nice ....but come on ship Sunday dinners should be served hot.

Great bar for a lovely drink sitting in the sunshine

Booked a table for 4 was nice and quiet when we arrived but noticed lots of tables had been reserved. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, lovely views from our table the valley. When we left it was getting busy so def book a table to avoid disappointment

First time I’ve been and I’d happily come back! Great food and lovely staff :)

Had my first mixed grill at this fabulous establishment. Very good quality of food, presentation, service and price. There is free parking and ample outdoor seating, including tables and the front, side, and rear. Plenty of indoor seating also. Beautiful interior. I will definitely be returning. Would of rather had chunky triple cooked chips but still very nice. Huge portion.

impressed by the starter fantastic so much looking forward to the main meal drinks were great then had to wait well over an hour for the main meal dry and disgusting covered in to much batter both meals chips dry food very poor what a let down

Highly recommend the mushroom on sourdough bread for the starter and, well, the cheese and bacon burger did not disappoint either as you can see by the great portions. First time here and it may be my favourite place in a long time. They allow doggos, have a nice big beer garden and plenty of parking. Loads of drinks to choose from as well. Just an all round lovely place but again, the mushroom and stilton on sourdough takes the win. Cannot recommend enough.

First time visiting, very impressed by the quality of the food. Party of 6, food was served piping hot and in good time despite being reasonably busy. Lovely views, dog friendly, we'll be back with our mutt for sure.

De loin mon pub préféré à Newcastle ! La vue est superbe, on se croit à la campagne et la terrasse est tellement agréable.

I'm sorry but had fish and chips today 24.6.23. It has to be the worst I've had for a pub meal, still trying to find the fish in a batter that was cooked in cement, it was as hard as bricks, it was over cooked, no flavour, more batter than the no fish content. could not eat it, the salt and vinegar took the bad fish ( if any ) taste away, told the service staff but they where not interested, might be a nice pub atmosphere but poor quality food, grandson and partner couldn't eat their burgers, the money paid for the food it was very poor quality...Sorry..

Oily onion rings Great views and selection of bar meals. Only disappointment was the onion rings. They were swimming in cooking oil when they arrived at the table. You could see the oil dropping off them when you lifted them out of the container. Looking inside the container you could see the oil on the bottom. All you could taste was the cooking oil

Really nice food and good friendly staff. Unfortunately the whole experience was spoiled by disabled access toilet facilities. After struggling to get a wheelchair down stairs to the toilet, the door wouldn't open. We had no other choice but to leave. Very disappointing

One star because disabled toilet not accessible friend helped navigate the step down but disabled toilet locked and staff unable to open. Had checked before going as my husband in wheelchair and unable to walk, we were having lunch with friends so very dissapointed to have to leave early because of this. Pointless having a disabled toilet if not accessible. Pity because food and service was good .

Daughter took me and her mum their for father's day,food was excellent,staff was very good and helpful,can't ask for better

Very popular place with loads of outdoor seating and beautiful views across the hills towards Co.Durham. Varied menu and regular music.

The food was lovely. I would definitely recommend great views with some beautiful horses near the outside seating area

Owner is exceptional at her job, food is great and service is impeccable 👌. Lovely local and great place for a beer garden drink in the summer.

Friendly staff, good food, and sensible prices.

I ordered chicken caesar salad and and it was largely inedible due to the excessive amount of dressing the huge pieces of lettuce were coated in. It also came with a boiled egg that appeared to have been deep fried if that's possible. I was charged nearly £14 for that. My brothers ordered sausages with mash and Yorkshire pudding but neither got the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetarian sausages on one dish were cold. My sister and mum both had gammon. I know gammon is salty but it was so salty that neither of them could finish it. We will not be going back there for food.

Always a nice pint in the Ship. Always busy as the food has a good name (never eaten here myself)

Stunning pub Sunday lunch is exquisite.

Went tonight at 5,30pm for birthday food, Monday 10th April 2023, website said food served until 8pm, told chefs had gone home as it had been dead all day, we were the second couple to walk out won't be returning.

Good atmosphere with good food and stunning views over the team valley

Not much fish in my fish n chips, all batter. Friendly staff

Really good service, fantastic Sunday dinner and great pint , will be back

The beef was far too pink n red for my liking n the gravy left a greasy taste on my tongue. Vegetables were too close to being raw.

Fabulous Sunday Lunch best i have had for a long time .Lovely staff Great value for money xxxxx Kevin

Good pub grub, hot and tasty, friendly atmosphere

First time eating here they served raw veg and it took an hour to arrive and was the wrong order. Tried again, putting it down to a one off. Ordered a takeaway which they didn’t have ready. Waited 15 minutes. Got it home and the meat and veg were fridge cold and again raw veg. £28 for 2 lunches, you should not have to cook it yourself. Disgusting food and service. Lesson learned!

Lovely food and atmosphere Great service

Lush valentines meal with drinks, friendly staff and a quiz too lol

Very nice food and a nice pub atmosphere! Friendly attentive staff. Would definitely recommend for a pub lunch!

Me and my family had booked a reservation for food and drinks last night to celebrate an anniversary and I couldn’t say anything bad about the place and the staff. A special shout out to lovely young blonde woman who dealt with our food. She done an amazing job and when I spoke to her about the crumble situation, she dealt with it with perfection and am delighted this pub has an amazing set of staff and I’ll definitely be back sometime soon. 10/10 recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

Very dog friendly..... Food was made to order, so a little wait, but worth it....

We normally go to the Bowes Incline but it was full today. So we tried the ship on spec. The food was fantastic! Even better than Bowes.. the meat was great! The roast potatoes were gorgeous!! All round a great meal. The place itself is a nice friendly atmosphere, the staff were welcoming… all round very nice place to eat.

Had a lovely lunch served by a young lady with lovely manners very friendly we are from Houghton but will definitely be back for another meal

Lovely bar and beautiful view. Food was ok though service was slow. Plenty space for dogs

Great local friendly bar now has karaoke also shows live football

We went for Sunday lunch and birthday celebration. Food was excellent and so was service.

Stopped in on a whim on Sunday tea time on our way home for some food. Lovely cosy pub, warm atmosphere and the food was excellent. Will definitely be back again.

Friendly staff, great food and very dog friendly 😊

Cold food, had to ask for salt and pepper, order at the bar, pay for food, if you want dessert or a drink, back to the bar to order and pay. Very sloppy service, and disorganized. Worst Sunday dinner I've had

Very disappointed, booked a table for 2 at 2pm , wasn't made aware of any menu shortages. Arrived bought drinks then checked menu. I requested steak , was told no steak left (2pm) , so asked for steak and ale pie , was told sold out , so just got fish and chips . My partner ordered vegan ravioli which came out cold , she complained and was told she would get a new one , but the original came back reheated and with the texture of rubber . Sorry but i won't be spending my money again with you.

Lovely staff rushed off their feet. Service was extremely slow but you can tell they're under staffed however the food was worth the wait. Really good.

Nice food priced pretty well, pub is bit run down.

Stayed here with campervan pub stopovers , place was nice and clean with good staff and food was brilliant. Highly recommended if your in the area. 👍👍

Excellent service everytime I go in the staff are down to earth and fantastic well done

First time we’ve been to the ship inn we waited 30mins for our food to be served .when it finally arrived it was Luke warm ,Yorkshire puddings were cold .roast beef wasn’t topside as it said on the menu there was was big lumps of sinews and very chewy .when the waitress asked if our meal was ok she did apologise when we told her we weren’t too happy but no one from management came to ask us about our meal .puts us off going back

Waitress was really amazing, and she is a credit to the restaurant. She was the only person on shift and the restaurant was busy. The food was also good value.

We have visited this pub a few times recently and like the improvements made. However each time I have asked for a pint of real ale( the pub advertises a range of beers) I have been told there is none available that day. Do you intend selling real ales as they were always available previously?

Beef like chewing gum Shame as rest ok

Frozen chips, batter on fish way too thick. Not worth the money

Went for Sunday lunch. Table for five. We were squashed on to a table for four even though we pre booked. Service was terrible. Meals came out staggered for mains and desserts. We weren't told we had to pre book at bar and had to wait a long time at the bar for drinks. The bar staff completely ignoring us even though a member of staff was fiddling with the till for over an hour. The beef was one of the worst we've had. So tough. Asked for pot of tea the girl dropped the lid on the floor but still used it then started to polish cutlery with the dirtiest cloth I've ever seen. I don't consider myself an awkward customer and always tip well. This is the 1st time I've never left a tip other than they need to get their house in order.... Won't be back

Lovely food served by Lovely people in a really pleasant place with the best views of the country side we will definitely be back

Very friendly, excellent service, fabulous food,

Thanks for bringing our ship, back to life again.

Great place with great food, the staff and views from beer garden worth a visit on its own. Eat drink and be merry.....changed for the better and still dog friendly is a added bonus 😉
