The Ship Inn in Boston

This was a warm and friendly place in which to take a break on our rainswept journey to Norfolk. Friendly staff and good food, plus interesting local history.

What a hidden gem! We were so pleased to stop by while travelling from Norwich. Exceptional service and atmosphere. So cozy and christmassy😍 The best chippy I had in a long time, was told fish came straight from North Sea through Grimsby. Excited for my next holiday in South Lincolnshire and will definitely stay here.

The pub and restaurant have been refurbished and extended. We had a group in the restaurant and it was excellent. Food was delicious and served steaming hot.

First time eating here and very impressed. Nice location, lovely welcoming staff plus excellent food.

Nice place, very fresh, bit quiet but it was early

In a large party room which was a bit noisy for the 4 of us

The Ship has been refurbished and a lot of hard work has gone in. Lovely beer and lovely surroundings, we had an excellent Sunday lunch of chicken and mushroom pie and Lincolnshire sausages with dauphinoise potatoes. The staff are wonderful, very attentive and making sure that everything is enjoyable. We will be back very soon.

Fantastic pub! The food is amazing, I had the best lasagne I've ever eaten. Nice selection of beers too. The staff are all lovely and welcoming. Run by Dave and Fiona who go out of their way for you. There are rooms here if you wish to stay overnight and they also let you stop overnight in the car park if you have a motorhome. 10/10!

Popped in on the way back from car boot and thought we could have a coffee but ended up having fish and chips, chilli veg with rice , beer and a wine could not say anything against as everything was spot on, will be visiting more often in the future when they get the Sunday lunches up and running, everything was clean and inviting even the bathroom was excellent we will be recommending the ship to all on the strength of this visit.

First time visit tonight absolutely 💯 recommend, fantastic food, excellent atmosphere and staff are so friendly and welcoming, will definitely be going again The Ship Inn, wonderful evening.

First time tonight, and definitely not the last, food was amazing not eaten a 3 course for god knows how long !! Service was impeccable and made to feel so welcome. Highly recommend 💯💯

Pre booked a table, got there and the only menu they have is light bites, we went for actual lunch not a snack. wasn't told this when booking the table as our server said we should have been Pub has only just reopened so I imagine they plan to make a full menu hopefully. The big open plan dining area is nice but maybe needs something to break up the sound of other tables as it is very noisy

Great place just wish they had onion rings on menu

Lovely friendly atmosphere food Lovely and home cooked and a reasonable price I would definitely recommend a visit

What a fantastic place! Spotless, lovely environment. Staff & chef are amazing people. Food knocked our socks off. Superb quality, beautifully presented & everything perfect. Loved everything about the Ship Inn at Fosdyke ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was our first time in the ship we had a meal and a drink staff were very helpful keep up the good work

A lovely little pub with delicious food, really friendly helpful staff and a lovely clean atmosphere. Great range of drinks available. Everything was just so lovely and felt like a really lovely place to have some food and drinks

Fabulous pun lunch, great price, lovely, friendly staff. Great place for a lunch stop going in and out of Lincolnshire, newly opened give it a try

Excellent venue and great food.

Called in on the way home from Weekend in Kingslynn to Derbyshire, needed cooked dinner.Unfortunatley they were only serving bar meals or chilli,The waitress could see by our faces we wanted something different and offered us nice hot meals Lincolnshire sausage mash and the most amazing cooked veg.The quality was amazing best I'd tasted in ages and all locally sourced.We had fruit crumble and ginger sponge pudding to finish, all piping hot.The staff were attentive and very friendly. Good quality food good prices .They definitely saved our day.Will definitely call again if passing this way.

Awesome place. Great welcome from staff and excellent quality food.

If anyone is heading to North Norfolk this is a pub that's worth a stop en route Right by the water on the main road its recently been renovated. Its super clean, warm & welcoming. Fiona was a fabulous host & nothing was too much trouble. Our scampi & chips took us back to the 80's....served in a basket old school style with tartar sauce! Both were crispy & perfectly cooked. Thanks for having us & we shall be back for sure. It's always a plus to support a family business

Great food ,excellent beer , friendly staff , spotless clean . Will be back

Nice environment as it's been Recently renovated/extended. Staff were friendly and attentive

Excellent service,surroundings and food. We will return soon

Enjoyed a late lunch here, empty restaurant but great food and service

Beautiful place to visit. I came here with family. The service & food were excellent. Highly

Staff so helpful and friendly. Didnt realise main menu only available until late afternoon which was a shame as really fancied a steak but what we had was lovely 😋

Came from manchester to watch ufc stopped in across from the airbnb. Beautiful pub amazing pints great service friendly staff. Chealsea and sophie amazing

I came here to meet a friend of mine as a place to eat between our 2 locations. Parking was a struggle with such a small car park on both sides of the property but we eventually found parking. We were greeted by the staff upon entry and taken to our table, the restaurant was very clean and tidy. Food once delivered to the table looked amazing, the Chicken Tikka curry was very flavoursome and the meat very tender. Our visit was very pleasing and we will return again

Have been waiting for the reopen and finally managed to go. Food excellent, very pleasant staff will definitely be returning well worth the wait

food was lovely very expensive for what you get? no music, service needs sorting webpage needs updating very little to choose from!

Great chips and service from bar staff

Stopped off for Lunch, on our way Scunthorpe. Fiona & Staff warmly welcome when you arrive, you can choose your own table and the Meal in a Basket was lovely. Would recommend to Family & Friends.

Good wholesome food. Friendly service in a comfortable environment.

This restaurant had lovely staff, food and a nice setup. Everyone was friendly, and the staff polite. Yet i feel as if the prices where way to high fro what we where given. A handful of chips where given with the burger, but everyone else’s portion sizes where of a good size. Although our reservation was at 17:45 and we had ordered at 17:50 - 17:55 and food arrived extremely late and where served at 18:45 - 18:50 our food overall was lovely but the wait time was not worth it.

Just called in for a drink as it only opened last week. Booked in for Wednesday for something to eat.

Popped in on way home, pleasantly surprised much better than previous owners / manager. Lunchtime meals mainly light bites, but more than enough for most people. Major renovation has taken place, much improved. New owner extremely pleasant as were all staff. Great service. Will see you again soon. Well behaved dogs allowed in the bar. ...... Not allowed in the large dining room. The Ship now has several on suite bed rooms to let as well, and if the same high standard as downstairs to go by then best of luck. Much better to stop and have a quick bite and chat here than the services nearby.

The Ship has recently reopened after extensive refurbishment. Limited menu at present, but we really enjoyed our lunchtime basket meals. Looking forward to returning one evening to sample the main menu. Excellent toilet facilities, including disabled. The menu options below are from previous owners, what we had not listed.

Looks lovely after refurbishing. 10/10 clean 10/10 staff 10/10 food Dog friendly. Will come back in the future 👍

The bar lady was super sweet, gave children colouring and had a laugh with her guests, the toilets are a bit stinky but overall it was amazing!

Great food. Well cooked. Good service. A pity we live 80 miles away Best wishes Don and Jenny

Nice fish and chips very fresh and a good size portion lovely waitresses efficient and polite would recommend.

Stopped on the way through following Google reviews. Glad we did

Amazing food and service cannot recommend this place enough

Plenty of parking, great simple food, Great desserts, polite staff, nice by the river. I will go again.

Friendly pub restaurant...down to earth honest food and ale..close to the boats and yachts at Fosdyke Matina..

Covid secure, friendly, excellent service and lovely food.

Nice place, they've taken the time to put some real ales on. And food is now being served.. book up though!! At least until we're used to going out again.

Friendly staff, really good food.

Went with my partner. Had a lovely meal. People are very nice polite. Would return an recommend to freinds and family.

Lovely food, friendly service, giant portions (compared to home down south)!

Great food, great atmosphere and best of all great prices

Nice find on a pretty bleak road. Good beers and decent reasonably priced food. Homely feel inside

Not child friendly. Seating needs pulling away from food serving area too.

Very disappointed food portions small service poor and to expensive

The Ship at Forsdyke has no heirs & graces but instead has a warm welcome, friendly staff and great hime cooked meals. Good value and well worth a visit.

Very welcoming, extensive menu, lovely food and dog friendly

Good food and sevice. Friendly welcoming staff.

Smashing to always stop here on our way back home.

Fabulous food, excellent service and great atmosphere. Always enjoy a great choice of food here. I always book as it's a very popular pub & restaurant.

Delicious fresh food at good prices! Great staff and really friendly

Great decoration, excellent value Sunday lunch/carvery, hhhmmmmm

Good beer and proper home cooked food well worth a visit.

Fantastic food, friendly staff, and dog friendly

My second visit over the years this was a lunch time visit,the staff are very friendly the food was delicious.Felt right at home drinking Adnams bitter.Will call in on the way home

We popped in to this pub for lunch on our way to Spalding. Lovely place inside, and a fairly extensive lunch menu I had sausage egg and chips and the wife had ham eggs and chips. Prices were about average at £11.50 each, and for decent size portions. Good if you are passing thru and need a bite to eat. There is a river next to the pub also

Excellent food and service would highly recommend

What a lovely place. Food fantastic and staff very pleasant. Would recommend that people stop for a meal. Good choice of food on the menu.

Had a lovely brie and cranberry tart followed by a delicious blueberry and apple crumble! Good price, good food! Dog friendly too!

Excellent food and great service

Lovely meal this lunchtime all food well cooked staff very friendly will definitely go again

Beautiful place and lovely food

Popped in here on our way past glad we did, its geat food and great service..

Nice in the summer. Food is good although quite pricey.

Excellent service, very enjoyable food, very tasty and fresh. Reasonable prices.

Waited 70 minutes for meal after ordering when only a third full. Corgette and Brie crumble fairly tasty. Veg served in pool of water.

Realy nice pub, staff friendly, food great, and dog friendly.👍🏻

Cold coffee food not that great so leave it up to you

Great weekend away in a really nice and friendly Pub / Hotel

A place I have passed often, but never visited before. Going east it is easy to turn in, though the car park is not large. Plain tables, quite a good menu with several veggie options. Perhaps a little on the pricey side, but the food when it arrived was freshly cooked, nicely presented and very tasty. The landlady was helpful and of course the beer being Adnam's was most welcome. We will certainly think about calling again when travelling east.

friendly staff great atmosphere good food

Decent light lunch, quick service, a good choice for a quick pit stop in our journey.
