The Ship Hotel in Lancaster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Callum, Dawn, Karen and the two Matts. Provided excellent service, atmosphere and food. The nut roast was lovely on Sunday, the roast beef was nice too. Decent price for soft drinks.

First part, food it was amazing some of the best fish and chips I've had in a while, although it took quite some time it was completely worth it, also the biscoff cheesecake I might have to say was the best cheesecake I've had period. It was well done and the taste and texture were top notch. While we were here (I don't know who) but a musician came in playing folk songs of all kinds and it was just amazing the perfect music for the type of place it is, it was hard to leave because we were all enjoying it so much. (Whoever this musician was your talent is amazing, thank you) the staff were all pleasant and welcoming even the people were nice and were there to have a good laugh All in all perfect place for a night 5/5 🌟

We held our Yearly summer family meal today and this is the 4th time The Ship has come through for us. We were a group 0f 20 people and 3 dogs today, and everything was worthy of 6 stars, but I can only give 5. Nothing was too much trouble, including accommodating a few dietary needs, a last minute addition to the group and a sausage each for the dogs. Thankyou to all the staff today, you are great.

Excellent food and lovely friendly hosts. Will definitely be eating there again.

For a pub, the food was excellent. Really impressed, the staff we're lovely,.really welcoming.friendly and attentive. The only reason for the 4 stars on the atmosphere is due to a few locals' unfriendly attitudes. Must say the rest were friendly.

Delicious food here!! (and I can’t recommend the wine enough). Karen and Dawn are the most fabulous people, the ship is echelons above regular pub grub, so many veggie options- not to mention they had to practically roll us out because of the generous portions 🤣❤️

Can tell you it's the best pub I've been too, the staff, especially the little mature lady. Was one of the nicest people I've met, I felt right at home. The food was delicious all round and everyone enjoyed it. I had the belly buster burger and it was just that, couldn't finish it but I'll definitely give it another attack. The chicken is top marks, better than KFC so crunchy! Loaded chips were great too. This pub is my go to every time we come down for the weekend getaway. See you in a couple of months

Such a friendly little pub, food is excellent, atmosphere fantastic.

Stumbled across this place. Very welcome and comandating. Amazing staff. Amazing food. Highly recommend. And will be back. Thank you

food was lovely. very tasty Sunday roasts. good service. very accommodating

Trialed some dishes from the new menu launches today (12/06/24). I cannot complain about a single dish so far. As a someone who isn't a massive lover of fish dishes, I really enjoyed the fishcake. It had the perfect amount of fish flavour without being overpowering, the melting middle enhanced the many flavours. The garlic chicken schnitzel was great and it came with garlic chips and a garlic mayo which were to die for. After discovering fro-co meant frozen custard, we were very skeptical about the ice-cream being replaced by this BUT this turned out to actually be a stunning dessert option that didn't taste like custard (I hate custard) and was more flavoursome than vanilla ice-cream with a lovely texture. Looking forward to trying more of the new menu and as always being served by the lovely, friendly staff.

Brilliant food great menus. Staff very polite and accommodating would definitely visit again and recommend to friends

The food was first class, it was quite a long wait however but saying that it was worth the wait. We will definitely return..

Brilliant pub with friendly and very welcoming staff. Delicious food, especially the desserts. Sitting area outside and a double decker party bus for the kids located at the side of the car park. For a small fee payed inside the pub the kids can have loads of fun.

What a find! We were looking for a place whilst visiting the area. It had to be able to accommodate a number of families and lots of children. We got there to find it had an onsite bus with soft play. Great! Then the food, we had ordered before we arrived. The food was delicious and portion sizes were hearty. The service and attention we got from the team who were on made us very welcome and were attentive. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Even when we asked for the toddlers food to come out. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice setting , sat out side & nice food & great staff

I had a Sunday roast takeaway, amazing

Superb food and amazing staff. Well worth a visit....

Had the Sunday Roast Chicken, it was enormous and delicious, perfectly cooked, served with roast tatties, mash, a Yorkie and a selection of veg. Absolutely excellent and really good value for money. Can't recommend enough..

Food was great, really enjoyed it. I thought that the sharing nachos came with pulled pork or the chilli, but obviously not as I had been charged extra for the pulled pork on the side. It was quite busy with it being Sunday lunchtime with few free tables and a wait time for food of approx 30 mins. On the whole, would go back again if I was in the area.

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Easy parking.

Brilliant pub, great food and great staff!

Food is absolutely amazing and staff are lovely

A lovely cosy pub with plenty of character. Staff very friendly.

Can not fault this place. Took my mum yesterday for a Sunday roast, they did everything they could to make sure we wer comfy and happy. The food is ridiculously nice. I would drink the tomato and basil soup in pints if I could. 10 out of 10 from all of the Avo family. See you soon

Fabulous food, manager & staff provide great service, situated in a cute little countryside pub.

Great pub with lots of character and very friendly staff. Family-feel inside between all locals, staff, owners etc and pet friendly! Food was absolutely unreal, with a very comprehensive menu, catering to anyone. Been a few times and never been disappointed. Also a great spot to watch football, play pool, or darts. 10/10.

Friendly village pub, very accommodating, warm in winter

Lovely pub and grub. Roaring log burner and original decor. Will be coming back again

Lovely pub to find on a cold windy winter night. Great atmosphere, good food lovely people. And check out the Egg Room upstairs too!!

Visited for the first time as we've recently moved to the area, received the friendliest welcome and the most amazing burger I have ever had, bird and beast! Certainly not for the feint hearted, doggy bags are available but a week full of Christmas binging meant I was just about up to the challenge! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu, which is huge by the way! Thank you xx

We hadn’t visited for a while but the pub had changed with large screen TVs. The staff were friendly but seemed rushed off their feet. We didn’t eat there so can’t comment on that.

Food was amazing, rump steak was so tender, definitely recommend it.

Was OK we sat upstairs,went for Sunday dinner, food could have been a bit warmer and maybe a little bit more .

Some of the best service from staff I've received in pub, lovely staff but also friendly locals with the pub having that true village pub feeling. Great selection of drinks, only place local to serve my personal favourite and a collection of thatchers on tap. Top food at a great price too.

Booked table with short notice and had an amazing Sunday roast at friendly, very welcoming and lovely pub. Real gem 💎

Ordered pizza and roast dinner for delivery, absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to order again :)

Got a delivery from here from Morecambe Eats Not the cheapest place but when you see the portions and the quality you see why .. 100% QUALITY..!! ... Everything was red hot and so tasty. I got the Bird and Beast burger ,, massive and superb First time ordering,,,, won't be the last

Brilliant family run village pub. Lovely atmosphere and family friendly, has a soft play bus in the car park for kids. Nachos are insanely good, all of the food is great. Usually fast service and the staff are all friendly. Good for people living locally as has regular quiz/bingo/poker nights.

Not served on the right kind of plates, made eating a little awkward.

Sunday roast is incredible! The fun bus is also great. Service is a little bit slow but I definitely think the food is worth the wait! Will definitely be going back. Thank you 😊

Great village pub very welcoming great menu for children. They have a small kids and a bigger kids menu, which is great for families.

Lovely pub with great staff a good food

VIA MORCAMBIQUE EATS APP!!! MONIKA G GUIDE

Excellant food had mine delivered. Will get it again from there.

decent cask ales not much variety though. New food menu is excellent. Great old pub with friendly staff Shame there is a TV in every space and annoying background music playing constantly

Numerous visits and yet to have anything but a tasty, fresh and well-priced meal. We shall be back!

Highly recommended for a drink or family meal. We had Pizzas, they are large with fresh tasty toppings 10/10

Nice lunch but always seems to feel cold in the pub.

Called in by chance for a drink and some food I had the best fish and hips I've ever had the haddock was white very fresh the service was great second to none

Love this place x amazing food :) not ashamed to say I have the BBQ pulled pork pizza everyone (love it) as someone who’s been to Italy you can tell the pizza base is homemade x would recommend to anyone x it’s dog friendly and there always on hand with a cuddle and a biscuit for my dog Roxy x friendly staff and amazing atmosphere xxx

Loved the place and the ambiance but had a beer and ordered a pizza just under 11 quid for the pizza so I expect it to be ok. I was wrong cheap base with thick cheap cheese and tasted rubbish. Guts me to make this review as pub was nice with well presented beers but pizza was awful.

loved it,good atmosphere ,great beers, cheerful staff.

Lovely Sunday lunch with family, a nice friendly relaxed atmosphere and a lovely warm log fire.

Great pub worth a visit and a walk in the area

Lovely food friendly service being twice will go back again

Fantastic food great service highly recommend 👌

Great food and drinks and fantastic village pub

Excellent food and staff.highly recommend for Sunday roast!! Also the kids soft play bus is great for keeping the kids entertained at at £3 is a bargain. Will be returning very soon for Halloween night. Thank you all 👌

Great Pub. Very friendly staff set in a lovely Village. Nice big Beer Garden.

Wonderful friendly village pub! Cold beer and a warm welcome makes this a must to visit. Soon on with food.

Are you open or not for food?????.....drove out and looked closed.....nobody answering the phone........if your shut please change the website and let us know....wasted journey.

First visit here, turned up with my mate on our motorbikes looking for lunch. We were made very welcome. Excellent sandwich & delicious coffee. Definitely go back.

Staff are very welcoming and friendly but unfortunately the food was terrible

Great to see this place open again, nice selection of regional cask ales and good food

Glad to see this place open again nice selection of cask ales mainly from small brewery's plus friendly staff also food available which looked very good, recommended ++

Arranged an 18th birthday lunch for 20 people for us, staff excellent, food very good well worth a visit.

The staff are all super friendly, the food tasted amazing and it was a really fun atmosphere. The decorations were also notably nice, especially the clock behind the bar! Overall great experience and would definitely recommend x

Good country style pub, very friendly and competent staff. Great menu with enough variety to please most people. We had Chicken parma; gammon and burger. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Will definitely return for a meal again and can see this venue go from strength to strength

Amazing service I come up each year as live 4 hours away. Since the new ownership of the pub it has turned out to be some a homey and welcoming place!. The staff are amazing and would like to say a massive thank you to everyone. Especially Sam who made our time just more amazing. She went out of her way to make it better specially on my birthday!. The food is amazing. Its bright and open layout really brings the place together. Pool table upstairs with lots of seating with a big TV you can connect to to play music. Have lots of seats outside. The food is perfect and the drinks even better! I will always come back when ever I can! The atmosphere is warming and it's a great place to chill out and enjoy a beer! For the week I was up in Lancaster/Morecombe I spent pretty much everyday at the ship. And tbh now that I'm back down south. I miss it.. Would like to say a massive thank you to Sam you are a lovely person! And have made the place 100x better see you when I next come up! Love you all you are all amazing !

Polite helpful staff. Great food.

We went for drinks and a meal on a Wednesday. Fairly quiet to start but got busier later for food.Lovely friendly staff ,nice food and a nice place.We even stayed over in our motorhome on the carpark 😄

Excellent country pub, service good, lovely staff

Staff were great, friendly, pleasant and helpful. It was a bit disorganised, we arrived at 13.30, board advertised food from 12.30, staff thought it was from 14.00 . Had a black pudding with blue cheese starter very tasty Ordered a garlic bread which was lovely thin light and crisp and not great. The main courses were not as good. Ordered a salad bowl which was 90% lettuce so not impressed with that, also ordered the last beef and onion pie, the beef was tough and some of the meat was actually inedible another disappointment Final meal ordered was a ploughman's it was enough for two and we took half of it home, masses of fresh bread with plenty of butter, lots of cheese and some nice slices of pork. I would have this again (for personal preference I would check what cheese were being served and I would ask if I could swap the blue cheese) 3 star review basis two disappointing mains.

Called for a drink, very nice place sat out in the sun. Staff very polite and friendly. Pub looking good.

Good beer. Lovely spot to sit outside, spacious, dogs (and ponies) welcome. Table service very friendly and efficient. Nice toilet facilities. Will be returning when food starts, but I expect it will be v popular.

Great to have this pub back in action, cheers Pete.

Fabulous looking forward to going back Sunday very friendly staff can't beat it a relaxed atmosphere good to see it open again

Reasonably priced pub grub served by pleasant staff.

Lovely little pub. Check before going as it's not open your usual pub hours.

Closed Mon and Tue, when we where there on Wed it wasnt open till 5pm so couldnt try lunch either. .

Love it! Old fashioned proper village pub! No loud music (except on open mic or folk night!), TVs, gaming machines just great real ales and ciders, quality beverages, no under 18's. The place to meet up with friends and chat the night away! Community groups love meeting here! Always a friendly welcome! Dog friendly too!

Best local by far. Phil and Stephanie have breathed life back into the village

Great local pub, quality drinks, friendly vibe

Good choice of beers and spirits. Also no TV and over 18's only.

Great bar with great ales. The Stephanie and Phil are fantastic hosts. There are lots of local artists works on display in the many rooms, not to mention the open mic nights etc. All in all a great place for a pint. Highly recommended

Love this place very friendly great open Mike night.

Just the place! Perfect! Great ambience, great company, great beer!

A lovely village pub with limited opening. Lovely beer & an art gallery upstairs.

Great place -- best pub around. :-) :-)

Always a good selection of beers and great company

Friendly local pub. Locals seem to go there frequently.

This pub is a true gem. Very unspoilt by corporate ideas and hype. Interior decor is genuine 19thC and early 20thC. Get there to see the amazing egg display and suffed birds in glass cases. Good beer and great atmosphere too.
