The Ship Inn in Barrow-in-Furness - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Came with my family for a casual meal only to walk through a beer garden full of drunks who appeared to be loud, uncontrolled and very unwelcoming. My previous visit last year was a completely different experience. Very disappointing.

Very pleased with our Sunday Lunch. Friendly service, will definitely be visiting again and dog friendly was a great bonus. Well done Chef!

Lovely food ,great service ,great staff I believe it has new management Went 10/11/23 Ordered hunters chicken And gammon asked for mash instead of chips which wasn’t a problem Food arrived promptly and was delicious Dessert were honeycombe cheesecake and sticky toffee again lovely The only criticism was I found the area we were sitting in was cold Will definitely return again and soon

Visited on a warm thu night. Sat outside to make most of the weather. 5 meals ordered, everybody all enjoyed. 3 burger meals including a Haloumi Burger, all excellent. I got pie of the week (Meat and Potato) with really good chunky chips and mushy peas which was fantastic, and Chicken Fajitas was the other meal which was also enjoyed. Great quick service and Dave the landlord helpful as ever. Thankyou

Came here with friends,anticipating a good night,specifically for the quiz. Variety of ales were purchased, along with some good quality gins.,served by friendly staff. However the whole evening was sport by the actions and attitude of the so called quiz master. The quiz was delivered at break neck speed which made it hard to follow. The quiz master also seemed to have issues with asking for questions to be repeated. He should also learn how to speak and address people,and not speak to people as though they are aged seven. So in a nutshell,if you want to be spoken to as a child attend the Friday night quiz at the ship. Would return only for drinks.

We would like to express a specoal thanks to the waitress Eva who served us for a late Sunday Lunch today (9/04/23) she was very helpful , courteous,and attentive to our table from the point of arrival to departure. We were celebrating a birthday and Easter Sunday together as a family. Our review would have been higher if the food had been better. We had pre ordered as members of our group wanted roast dinner and 2 did not..despite me calling ahead twice a few days before their was a misunderstanding about one of the meal options. Although the portions sizes were plentiful the plates were dowsed in gravy which made the meals very soggy to eat so we did feel disappointed. We didnt feel the need to mention this as Eva had provided a good service. The desserts were delightful.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch, without a reservation whilst visiting Barrow for a sports event. The pub was very busy. The staff were very accommodating and found us a table and took our order before a large family group. We had the pie of the week, and the curry dish, straightforward fare, cooked very well, served quickly, with a great service. Really like Like Robinson pubs and would recommend this one.

Had pre booked for Sunday roast, young lady came immediately with the menus & took our drinks order, I did ask to be moved away from the door which she instantly saw to my request , the food was fabulous, we ordered broccoli & Stilton soup, chicken goujons, roast beef & roast ham dinners which came with creamy mash, 3 roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, carrot & turnip, shredded cabbage & huge Yorkshire pudding with lashings of gravy, everything seasoned to perfection & portions were huge, both wanted sticky toffee pudding but only one left so also added baileys cheesecake to the options £14.95 for 3 courses how exceptional value definitely going again

Amazing food, fantastic welcoming service along with a lovely atmosphere. If you haven't eaten for a week order the 'skyscraper burger'!!! It was delicious. Perfectly cooked rare rumb steak also went down a treat! Staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Would definitely return if we are back in the area. Highly recommended!

Very limited menu and at 19:00 on Saturday at least four of the items were sold out/not available. Steak baguette was shockingly bad, five small pieces, burnt to a crisp and hard as wood. Burger tasted like cheap burgers, not freshly made and over cooked, prices were well overpriced particularly When you factor in the lack of quality and the manager couldn't of cared less. Staff on the other hand were friendly and helpful.

Came over from the other side of the country to have a holiday and see friends, called in the ship after booking a table. We had good service with plenty of reassures of COVID rules being followed, so allowing us to enjoy our meal. We have scampi and chips, bacon,cheese burger and sizzling chicken all promptly serviced well presented and hot. Thank you for a lovely meal

Recently had a bar meal, very courteous staff, but food was very poor - cajun chicken was more like a cajun sauce with some lumps of chewy chicken bits floating in it, n some chunky chipson the side, no veg, no salad garnish, no presentation at all - left half my meal and was asked if I wanted it boxed to take home - errr no thanks, if I couldn't eat it the first time don't want to eat it reheated!! Was never asked how my meal was - - so wasted £12 on a not very nice meal

Arranged a delivery from here during the coronavirus situation, came 45mins before predicted time. We ordered the homemade pies, chicken, ham and leek and meat and potato, both came with mushy peas and we asked for chips rather than fries. All were piping hot, excellent chips and an accompanying tray of gravy. The chips came in their own tray and, in retrospect one portion would have easily been enough for both of us. Pies were tasty, the chicken being the nicest, the meat and potato probably needed a bit more seasoning. Quite a range of choices on their restricted Covid menu but we are very grateful to be able to get meals delivered, still being in isolation. Would certainly book from here again.

excellent in all ways, food staff atmosphere and service were second to none. From the monment we sat down everything was perfect.,

The meal was fantastic and everyone had a great time. Service excellent. Prices good. I had the Cajun chicken and the waiter warned me it was extremely hot and spicy but that is how I like it.

Great atmosphere on a Friday for the pub quiz and the food is always excellent. The staff are friendly and there’s always a warm welcome from the host.

Honestamente puedo decir que nunca me había sentido más cómodo en un restaurante con mis dos hijos, el personal fue increíble, especialmente Lindsey y Sammie, no pudieron hacer lo suficiente por nosotros y somos muy brillantes con nuestros hijos. La comida era deliciosa, tuvimos 8 adultos y 2 niños, el servicio tan rápido y eficiente sin duda volveremos, gracias xx

Después de despedirnos de nuestro ser querido, regresamos a The Ship para tomar un pequeño bufé privado.La comida era abundante, encantadora y bien presentada. Las bebidas calientes estaban listas y el personal era educado, amable y respetuoso. Gracias por hacer que un momento difícil sea lo mejor posible.

Mis Hijos llevaron a su padre a un almuerzo dominical como un regalo y sus hijos y todos tuvieron una comida encantadora. El personal era muy atento y nos atendió muy bien. Recomendaría este pub para una comida, ya que eran muy sabrosos y con un precio razonable también. La única crítica al edificio son los baños de mujeres, aunque son modernos, los limpiadores necesitan ser despedidos o amonestados, ya que la pared y el radiador debajo del secador de manos están sucios y han estado así durante años. Obviamente, el gerente nunca revisa los baños de las damas o puede haber hecho algo al respecto. Mojé un pañuelo y lo limpié para comprobar que no estuviera manchando y que se desprendió un poco del tejido que me da asco.

Visited early evening only one family in and 6 people came in later. Food was excellent. Hot and plenty of it. Just not much atmosphere

Reservamos una mesa para mi aniversario de boda y el menú del sitio web era diferente al menú que nos dieron. . . .Lo que elegí se les había acabado, así que optó por el bistec y el pastel de Guinness - ¡guau! ! ! Tan lleno de sabor, me alegro de haberlo tenido. Mi marido eligió la fuente que chisporroteaba, que no estaba chisporroteando a la llegada. Sabroso pero no lo que esperaba.Tuve que preguntar qué era el "pastel de la semana" y también qué sopa era también. . . .Tenía el pudín de caramelo pegajoso y pastel de dulce de chocolate que estaban deliciosos.En general, la comida estaba bien, pero el servicio era deficiente.

I have been many times and would happily go again - very varied menu which is nice to see in a pub nowadays. would recommend the chicken goujon starter and then the steak dinner. it is what I have as a regular choice when i go and it is very nice.

Recently celebrated my 60th Birthday at the Ship with a party of 20 guests, for which we'd pre-ordered from a three-course set menu. The food on the night was exceptionally good, piping hot and plenty to eat. Dave and his staff were very polite and friendly, and the service was fantastic. We all felt very well looked after and there were no complaints from anyone. Excellent value for money. Also a great choice of drinks available at the bar. Highly recommended, will definitely be going back!!

Came here with family for a casual lunch. The food was fantastic and the portions very generous for the price. The only slight negative was it was very understaffed and every time we stood waiting for a drink a man we think was the owner was stood behind the bar but just looked at us.

First time here today at the ship inn very friendly staff and great service through out great menu we had a Sunday roast it was 5* would highly recommend it here.

Fuimos para una comida familiar. Era una reserva grande y el personal lo trató bien. Entrantes vinieron rápidamente y el personal era amable y servicial. Tuve una sopa para un entrante y estaba delicioso, aunque nada especial. El plato principal fue una decepción. La hamburguesa estaba severamente recocida y era como una tapa de pozo para morder. Todos los que ordenaban hamburguesas sentían lo mismo. Las papas fritas acompañantes estaban secas y frías; claramente habían estado parados allí por un tiempo. En general, una comida decepcionante que era lo suficientemente simple como para que cualquier cocina medio decente saliera bien.

Visitamos para el almuerzo del domingo, ya que no habíamos estado comiendo algo allí durante un tiempo, ¡vamos al cuestionario regularmente, lo cual es muy divertido! La comida llegó y era hermosa, muy buena relación calidad-precio, ¡mucha comida en los platos también! Tuvimos 2 cursos que fueron 11. 50 cada uno la calidad de la comida era de un estándar muy alto al igual que el servicio sin duda volveremos! ! ! Hemos estado para el almuerzo del domingo en otros pubs de la zona y pagamos mucho más y no fue un parche en esto. Muy recomendable para un buen asado de domingo.

Went for a family meal, 4 daughters and Dad, we ordered very different meals from fish and chips, chines, Indian and the daily special beef stew Grea value for money and a lovely environment , will go again

We went at 3.30 on Sunday afternoon and were surprise quiet it was but the Sunday roast was excellent and good value for money.

Visitamos el domingo 14 de octubre, pub medio lleno de comensales y bebedores, buen ambiente. Las camareras nos encontraron una mesa y tomaron nuestro pedido rápidamente. Las salsas de pollo de sal y pimienta fueron geniales y la comida para niños que compramos (pescado y papas fritas) también fue de muy buena calidad y un tamaño decente. Dave y las chicas siempre son amables y volveré

Came here for a meal out and really enjoyed it! I had the steak which was absolutely lovely, the service was fantastic couldn’t fault the staff really friendly and helpful! Ended up staying for the quiz which is every Friday with the halftime bingo, along with free food at the end! Fantastic night!!!

The Lasagne is to die for....... Service and atmosphere excellent and I had the best Irish Coffe I've been served in a good while. Some room for improvement in terms of where they dont match the local competition, Home made batter on Chicken goujions and onion rings............... But id have my hubbie drive me down here from Scotland overnight just to have that Lasagne again

Visited The Ship Inn on our first night in Barrow-in-Furness as recommended by the lady that runs the guest house.

Lovely pub with great food. Plenty of food on the plate and it was very tasty. Will revisit this pub and recommend to others.

It was a nice evening so we decided to walk to The Ship, hadn't been in years. We had a couple of drinks outside then went in. We had a snack of salt n pepper chips and shared a bottle of wine...yummy. Would go back to have a 'proper' meal at some point, menu looked good.

Called in on the off chance on a hot Monday evening, quiet inside a few tables eating outside. Menu is smaller than it used to be, we chose a gammon steak and a curry choice, chicken Tikka Masala. I like the mix and match stir fry and curry options. Friendly quick service and food freshly prepared. Very tasty and good value at a total of £32 including a pint and a glass of wine. The inside could do with freshening up a bit, I noticed that a partition has been added between the entrance and the dining area to the left, a good addition as the tables on the hallway we a bit intruded upon. Sign on the bar states free WiFi.

Ordered a nacho starter and 2 main meals. It all turned up at once - who does this a starter is a starter in my book!! tried to eat the starter before the cheese solidified but failed miserably as I was trying to eat my roast dinner at the same time. After eating the hard cheese on top found just grated red leicester underneath, so not even warmed through properly. no guacomole just bland white stuff and red stuff - cannot be identified as salsa. Took the plate of grated cheese to the manager - who was eating her dinner in the bar and to say she was totally disinterested and unhelpful would be completely accurate. apparrently this is how nachos are served in her universe and she did not see an issue, she even had the gall to offer me another plate of grated cheese! I told her that there was no way I would put myself through that again as it was awful the first time round. I left very annoyed to say the least.

Ate here with my wife for the first time in years. We laughed about the last time we were there and she had asked for a cappuccino - they didn’t have a coffee maker! She asked what coffees they could do and the reply was, “just what you can make with a kettle!”

We stopped in here last Friday for a light lunch.

Went with my husband for a evening meal. I ordered garlic mushrooms hubby soup. Both very nice except drizzle used on salad seeped into garlic mushrooms & tasted not to nice. Mains I had scampi hubby sizzling steak. Both nice. Steak was very fatty & drizzle again seeped into meals bit to much. Service good meals nice shame steak was very fatty.

Visited for family meal on mother’s day but service very slow despite the pub not being overly full.

4 of us had Sunday lunch - you can have chicken, beef or lamb or for an additional £2 can have all 3 meats. My son had butternut squash soup as a starter and he said it was really nice with a chilli kick to it. The roast dinners came with mash, 1 roast potato, carrot/turnip, sprouts, cauliflower, Yorkshire pud and gravy - the meals were piping hot and tasty the only gripe was the sprouts were very over cooked and a bit mushy. We had sticky toffee pud and home made ginger bread for desserts you could have custard, cream or ice cream with them and they were really nice. The guy waiting on was really pleasant too.

We visited for an early evening meal and although the Ship Inn's reputation recently had been poor, we were pleasantly surprised that the standard has improved considerably since our last visit. Good value and good quality all round. Friendly staff and good, prompt service. Recommended.

we enjoyed a short post xmas break here.A lovely warm welcome from the landlady and some of her staff.The rooms have recently been updated we thought ours was very nice.We ate in tne resaurant during our stay and thouroughly enjoyed our food all fresh and home cooked.The breakfasts in the mornings were really good,nothing was to much trouble.We would definetly go back.

Nipped in after work to save on the washing up....

We took time to drop in here for a lunch. This is a vintage pub, quiet. Nicely decorated & spacious seating arrangements. Day's special menu is handwritten on wall mounted black board. Well stocked bar counter ,famous for their varieties of ales. They also have lodging facility. We ordered Lamb marakesh,Game pie served with chips & vegetables,Lamb shank in red wine with vegetables in garlic & rosemary juice. Before we leave we had Sitcky toffee pudding Each & every item were well prepared & nicely served. The hot pudding was the best of all. We have Jackman's Landing Shiraz & Chardonnay as accompaniment. Friendly staff & you will feel very homely.They have car parking facility.

Just had our wedding meal here on Friday .

Have not eaten here for a few years & went for a baby shower of nearly 30 people. We all...

Llegamos después de ser ignorado, en Crofters había sido anteriormente hace unos años y la comida en el barco fue decepcionante.

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí hoy. El salteado de pollo tailandés chili era deliciosa y las porciones eran muy generoso. El pescado y las patatas fritas eran muy buenos. Las comidas son de un precio razonable para dicha calidad

Poco decepcionado tbh. La comida era promedio. Tuvimos que esperar bastante. No hay mucho ambiente, un poco oscuro y lúgubre.

Stopped by around 5.30. Lovely polite waitress showed us to a table. So helpful and attentive. Landlord equally welcoming. Ordered steak sizzle with chilli chips and gammon. Was all nice. Please griddle pineapple before sending out though. Looks and tastes nicer. Only gripe. Will come back again. Large portion. No room for desert.

Not a good start when we entered to sit at our reserved table. We were told the items that were unavailable which we couldn't believe included rice. Not quite sure how you can run out of the basics. The meal was OK but nothing outstanding. We would have stayed for coffee but they didn't have any decaf coffee.

Went here for lunch with my sister. We didn't book and getting a table was no issue. The menu was varied and there was a children's menu too. Staff were friendly and helpful. We were made to feel welcome and there was a relaxed atmosphere. We didn't wait long for our meals which were substantial to say the least! Really tasty and nicely presented. Great value for money and the drinks were reasonably priced too.Well worth a visit.

Popped in for dinner last Wednesday night. Food and drinks service was very good..cannot complain about this. We both ordered the steak..one medium and the other rare-medium. Got a well done and a medium cooked steaks (small serve by our standards). And the serving of chips was unnecessarily large, both in volume and size of cut. The garlic bread, though, was quite delicious!Good pub food, but nothing to write home about.

very nice afternoon meal for a birthday, good beer and great choic at a decent price,will be going again soon.

Nice place to eat. Car park right outside (pay and display).Good view over the lakeStaff very friendly and helpful.Had the hot beef and onion baguette. Very good value.Wife had Haddock and chips with mushy peas. White flakey fish with light tasty batter.Friend had ham and pea soup which was delicious.Will definitely visit again

Went to Ship Inn for Sunday lunch on 29th January 2017. I had roast beef, which melted in the mouth, and my husband had pork. Plenty of veg, Yorkshire pudding and lovely thick gravy. Portions so good had to wait a while before ordering dessert - strawberry gateaux was beautiful. Staff very friendly and efficient, and place spotless. Pity it was so quiet - service has improved dramatically since previous owners left. Could not fault anything.

We arrived, and was welcome by the female member of staff, who looked after us whilst we was there. Was quiet when we first arrived but was soon busy due to an 18th birthday party. Food was OK, service was better.

The service was appalling, we waited an hour for the food and when it came it wasn't what I ordered. The staff were surly and there was no heating on, it was very cold. We all agreed that we won't be going back there

13 of us went for a meal at 5pm. We were greeted by friendly staff in a lovely cosy atmosphere. Some chose 2 meals for £10, which were a good size. A lot of different meals were ordered and they all came piping hot, and were enjoyed by everyone.looking forward to going again.

The bar staff were lovely ! Where as the food was vile and we complained to the chef and he was very rude as he shouted at us from the kitchen! We had a table of 6 we all ordered food and they forgot about one of the orders so one of us had to eat on our own and the soup tasted like it was out of tinned and we are sure it was and the brussel sprouts were like mush as well. NEVER AGAIN!

just visited the ship for Sunday evening tea.......two adults, two teens (one teen a vegetarian). Could not fault our meals, all had starters (the sharing platter is huge and absolutely lovely) all starters great. Great menu with loads of choices, good choice of veggie options. I had pie of the day (minced beef and onion) which was delicious. Very disappointed that we had no room for desserts. Can't wait to go back for the Christmas menu. Very reasonably priced. Staff lovely. Will definitely go back. It's very difficult to find a place which manages to please all our family but the ship managed it tonight. Well done.

We haven't visited since last management... before current management. Previous ones did absolutely put us off ver returning. They were so so rude and basically very people unfriendly. They were obnoxious to customers. When we realised the ship had been taken over again by new managers, we felt we really should try. Especially as ones before last ones were good.It is such a shame that new managers are obviously trying and fighting a battle against what the last mangers did. This is sad as new managers are doing such a good job. Staff are now friendly, polite and a joy to be served by. Choice of ales and wines are good. Menu is fresh and welcoming.It is just such a shame it was so so quiet on a Saturday night, and the business is so obviously being affected by how awful previous owners treated customers.New owners seem to care so much more. The staff they have are fabulous and very welcoming. Service is first class. We have returned to see if better and from experience it has returned to former glory in relation to atmosphere , quality of services and staff. Good luck to new management and we look forward to supporting them. Definitely worth trying under the new managers.

Had my grandsons christening here they cateres for 70 adults and 10 children pie and peas were superb

Delicious freshly cooked food, great service in nice surroundings. Our first visit under the new management, the chicken, ham & leek pie was the best l've ever tasted. We'll definitly be back soon.

Very nice pleasant place to eat - reasonable prices on a good menu - friendly polite staff. easy parking

After a tour of the Cumbrian coast and Barrow we decided to stop for a snack and called in at The Ship.It was a nice building on a corner, well decorated around the front and the staff were very helpful.Our meals were nice and we enjoyed our quick stop.It was as expected, good value for money with good service and I would like to give the staff the thumbs up for a nice break and good service for our break as we were touring the area.

Went for lunch here with a relative very nice meal especially as it was a 2 for £10!!The meal was excellent and the wait staff very friendly and obliging..........recommend it unreservably.

Just rang on the off chance and got a table. Arrived within 15 minutes and shown to our table. Drinks ordered and menu brought to us. Had four lovely meals.. two roast beef which melted in the mouth, a gammon and a steak cooked exactly how it was asked for. Two off is had sweets which were equally nice. Staff pleasant, decoration nice. Will be going back. Couldn't fault it.

We have just been to the ship inn,arrived just before service ended So the young waitress gave us menus and we had to choose quickly , fair enough as this was our fault , Asked question about the menu and the young waitress didn't know the answer her response was that the menu is always changing ! We got our food and it was ok nothing special and had a school dinner feel about it ,small plates ,presentation could of been better as it look like it was thrown on On finishing our meals the young waitress came back and said cheersWould you like a dessert not good hospitality ! On a plus note the older waitress (sorry) was lovely very polite and friendly needs to teach the young one her secret !We have been a few times prior to this visit but after tonight I don't think we will be back

Was a little concerned due to some of the poor reviews but on the whole happy with our meals. A small amount of tweaking could make it very good but just nut picking really. Veg was a little overcooked home made chips were lovely steak was very well cooked but a little tough prawns would be better if bigger but prawn cocktail was very nice. Will be going again to give it another try.

Great atmosphere, beer and shots very nice.A little cold on the afternoon we visited although the landlady did say they have or had a power cut.It's a must visit if your on the island.

We popped down to the Ship one tea time as we live nearby and we were very happy with the overall experience. The food was quickly served and all there party who had food remarked how much they had enjoyed it.

Had mushroom soup to start very nice then had lamb roast hubby beef. Nice but let down with frozen Yorkshire puddings & worse frozen roast potatoes I got 2 small ones hubby 1. Menu very good. Prices dropped. Will call again but won't have the roast.

Last Sunday booked table for 4 having been told it was a very good place to eat.When we arrived in the car park it was almost empty, not a good sign! We were shown to our table by a very nice young waiter. The atmosphere is good, tables well spaced, large dining area, nice bar and whole area in good condition. We ordered and our starters arrived in good time. Garlic mushrooms were served in a soup bowl, on a plate with side salad and a slice of bread. Mushrooms were sliced and in a very thin sauce with no great taste, plentiful but not great. Prawn cocktail in a soup bowl on a plate with side salad and a slice of bread. The prawns were sitting on another salad in the soup bowl. It was ok. Pate was served with side salad and a slice of toast. No great flavour but not bad.Main courses all disappointing, roast beef was smothered in gravy to try and hide the cold dry meat. Roast potatoes were dreadful, way overcooked! Some vegetables hot, some cold. Burger that we were told was made on site seemed to be not so. Those horrible shop bought onion rings on the side. Fish and chips were just about ok but batter was not great. Beef in a sauce with rice was reasonable.Overall very disappointed

Me and my husband are regulars and what a change it is from the last landlord/lady!! Prices have dropped dramatically on food and drink which is s good thing. We have had a number of meals and never complained always delicious and plenty. Landlord very friendly and willing to help in any way.

The Ship is now under New management, and with a great new menu and wine list. You should give it a go . I did and will be back

Juicy gammon steak and chips delivered with a good atmosphere and Criac.I asked for a extra egg on my Gannon which was delivered free of charge!My partner stayed on for a few more pints with me in the outside patio's which are great Sun traps, all in all a nice reasonable priced meal in great surroundings with Dave the owner providing attentive service to everybody

Visited with a group of friends for a bite to eat and a bit of fun with the quiz. First disappointment was the lack of choice for vegetarians and the lack of some food from the mains menu which meant people having to rethink their orders. Most of us ordered the garlic mushrooms which arrived with a slice of bread from an ordinary sliced loaf and a thin vinegary sauce. The mushrooms were cut into lovely chunks but were overly garlicky. One of out group had the buffalo wings which looked lovely and she said they tasted good too. Mains were a mixed bag. Kebabs consisting of one skewer with a wrap and sauce and a bit of chopped salad veg. Tasty but definitely not worth the price. I had the steak pie which was delicious and generous, lovely tender steak in a rich gravy and this is what bumped the rating from poor to average. The only disappointment with this dish was the choice of veg...carrots and peas - clearly frozen and bland. Another member of our group had the pulled pork burger which she said was lovely but the cheap frozen skinny fries weren't very nice. The biggest disappointment came for our vegetarian friend who ended up ordering a vegetarian curry due to first choice being unavailable but the choice of veg was shocking. Same frozen carrots and peas plus mushrooms in a curry sauce neither imaginative nor tasty. We participated in the quiz which was not very challenging and had wrong answers but the quiz master when queried was decidedly rude. Used to be a fantastic place to eat with a brilliant quiz but the previous owners dragged it downhill. Hopefully the new owners, who seem very nice, will improve the standard of food and think more creatively about vegetarian choices being served, as it is early days but as it stands I won't return in a hurry.

Friday night is always a good night at the Ship Inn. It has bingo, a quiz and a free supper. There is always a relaxed atmosphere and the staff are friendly. It often makes a nice change to the usual night out.

What a lovely place!!! The food is amazing they have a very good choice on their menu too. They also do bed & breakfast here too!!!! Very welcoming & friendly. We will definitely be going again.

Visited The Ship Inn Roose on Friday 1st April 2016 for the quiz night. What a disappointment.No wine or spirits for my wife or daughter, the shelves were bare. Very few choice of bottles, no draft Cider, no Cask Ales and little choice of Beer and Lager.What is going on? What has happened to this once good welcoming family pub? What are Robinsons thinking, having the present clowns as Tenants?The food is not much better. On my last visit I had Chicken Kiev and my wife had Cumberland Sausage. Very poor quality, ridiculously small portions, will not go again.Rumours on Friday night were that the present tenants were leaving and serving their notice. This could account for the lack of alcoholic drinks. If they are going, good riddance. We hope that Robinson’s will find somebody who can restore this pub to its former glory’s. Bring back the previous Land Lord / Tennant. Sadly, we believe he has retired, mores the pity.Sam Brown.

We visited here on Easter Sunday for a roast, I had called a day ahead to book, in anticipation of the place being full on what should be one of the busiest Sunday's. On arrival the pub is very nicely appointed, we were sat fairly rapidly and our drinks order taken, but I was taken aback by how quiet it was. Our drinks took some 20 minutes to arrive, even though there was only 4 other tables in. We ordered the roast dinners(£9.95) and they arrived in around 10 minutes. The roast was ok, with a big Yorkshire Pudding, but the meat (lamb) was very fatty and watery. All in all, the food was average, but I feel probably not worth its price tag.

Went on a Saturday night at 7.30 just for a bite to eat with hubby, was seated quickly and waitress was nice. There were hardly any beers on draught and all pumps covered over. The place wasn't even half full. We were given a menu (we had to share as there was not enough to go round)The menu was shockingly poor with minimum number of dishes, we we told that there was only one steak left and if another party that was currently ordering ordered it then that we couldn't have steak. I'm sorry but Saturday evening at peak time, one menu!!!!!!! one steak!!!!!! We won't be going back until it improves drastically, bring the old owners back when it was exceptional.

We have been a few times & always lovely Called in on the off chance after 1st 2 pubs very fully booked. The place was unusually quiet. No cider on draft so I had to have a bottle. Starters were ok soup needed nearly full pot of salt for taste. Garlic mushrooms nice but to much with a bitter taste towards the end. **Mains**I had gammon. It was thin over cooked with dry frozen chips. Hubby had steak pie. He said was ok. Table next to us sent both meals back & refused to pay heard her saying like us been lots of times always beautiful but tonight was terrible. Rumour has it they are leaving so might give new people a try.

Great service, food so-so... Very expensive though. £11 for fish and chips. Average cost of pudding was £5. It was alright, nothing to talk about.

After not being able to add an extra 2 people to our booking for the Stagger Inn we booked here instead. Even though it was Mothers Day it wasn't packed (2.45) we didn't feel rushed for our table. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. We all had roasts from the two/three option course menu. There was loads of food and we couldn't finish (but still squeezed in a desert). There was a really relaxed and homely atmosphere. The raspberry cheesecake was divine. I would absolutely go again. All mothers had a lovely time!

When we arrived it was lunch time & it was really quiet. We were seated by a lovely young man who took our drinks order. The cola was flat & tasted cheap. The food was okay but not worth the £45 we spent. I almost had a heart attack when I got the bill. We have been in the past & its always. Been good but it has gone down hill

Went to the Ship Inn for the quiz night held on a Friday. The pub itself was lovely and clean, with nice decor and heating throughout.Drinks were good if a little expensive. However the night itself was a good laugh and we enjoyed ourselves. After the quiz and bingo, the pub gives participants a free supper, which is a good incentive in itself for going for the quiz night. But the night in general was very good. Will be back for another quiz night sometime soon.

The Ship Inn itself is a lovely set out public house and pleasant inside. I booked for 12 noon for 10 people Valentines Day 2016. Only us in bar a couple. We were seated & served drinks, only menu available was the set Valentine which was 2 courses for £15 or 3 for £20. It would have been better to have been told this upon booking the table 3 weeks previous as although there was some nice choices it was limited (especially dessert).We ordered meals to a quiet waiter & waited. Within 10/15mins they arrived, Myself- Duck & Orange Pate, bland & tasteless, 3 Mushroom soups- tepid & very salty. Main melas were served around 15 mins later, my husband 1st Gammon, Egg & Chips....no egg?! Have to request egg!!Quiet waiter arrives with Lamb & Pork roasts and completely mixes the 2 up, must know your Meats!! ( same dark gravy over both so not detected until family members had started eating). Chicken Currys looked lovely but very, very watery sauce so impossible to empty onto plate, had to eat via dipping in. Beef Roast could not be faulted at all!! Husband approached the bar for a drinks round, young blonde staff member took his order & said she would bring them over. She promptly carried on with what she was doing, flitting around in restaurant, no drinks for at least 10 minutes until she had finished what she was doing, very bad service on her part. Desserts ordered & Ice cream sundaes arrive, no spoons, sticky toffee puds, no spoons, I was handed 5 dessert spoons in a bunch & proceeded to hand out myself to family ( please note, spoons did not fit in sundae glasses so ate dessert tipped over for access). My son's Sticky Toffee pudding was cold when he took the 1st mouthful & he had poured his cream on top so he told the blonde waitress who apologised & disappeared into the kitchen. I sat watching for a new dessert & was horrified to see the blonde girl hand the replacement dessert to the male waiter who turned away slightly & felt the dessert with the back of his hand!! It was put down in front of my son & I discovered they had just 'nuked' his original pudding, cream & all. Not acceptable, so I address the blonde girl stating I did not feel it acceptable to re-heat his dessert especially as there had been cream poured over..not nice. Dessert replaced but at the cost of another conversation which spoilt my day. Overall this day was a major disappointment due to the faults with food & terrible service. The staff need extra training which falls into the hands of Management & should be addresssed asap. I wouldn't reccommend The Ship Inn purely on this visit which is a shame as they are faults that can be solved by 1. Tasting food for seasoning 2. Temp checking 3. Staff training. I hope that my review will be taken on board & used in a construcrive manner to better the overall customer experience at The Ship Inn.

waitress was very pleasant and efficient. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the scampi. It arrived promptly but oh dear we thought they had served us with kiddie meals , overpriced! Will not be returning!

My family took me to The Ship on Boxing Day for my 60th birthday and it was a lovely surprise. The food had been pre ordered apart from my meal and this seemed to cause a bit of confusion with the waitress as we ended up with one meal less than we wanted. The soup of the day was not to everyone's taste so most of us opted for no starter, but my husband said his Prawn Cocktail was lovely and my sons both had Fish Chowder which they said was delicious. My daughter-in-law ordered a portion of Chicken Goujons and a bread roll and she really enjoyed them. The main courses were next and this is where the confusion happened, I ordered Gammon with egg and chips and when it arrived with the other meals we started tucking in..except for Hubby as his meal didn't arrive at all!! We called the waitress over and the owner came with the list of meals ordered and said everything was correct, but when we reminded her that one meal was ordered on the day she apologised for the mistake and Hubby got his meal after a 10min wait. The desserts were superb and everyone felt full up and very pleased with the quality of food we had just eaten. We were surprised at how empty the place was when we arrived- 12:30pm on Boxing Day but it was getting busier by the time we left at 3pm. Having not been to The Ship for a few years we were pleasantly surprised and will be going back to sample it again later this year.

We came here again having not been for several months. Apparently it was a new menu which did have plenty of choice and they offer deals Monday to Thursday. The restaurant was strangely quiet, only one other couple, maybe we were a little early at 6.30 pm on a Saturday. We had excellent starters, black pud for me and king prawns for my wife, we both enjoyed these very much, not too badly priced at £5.95. I then had the steak pie which was good and my wife had a sirloin steak, a decent size and tasty but a little fatty and priced at £18.95. The service was good and quick. Maybe this was the January lull but we will come back again as there were other dishes on the menu we fancied.

Went with a friend for dinner. Lovely place, well decorated. Friendly and professional staff. Food very nice and lots of choice. Looking forward to returning.

Beautiful meal, excellent service. Nothing to fault at all. Lovely evening to end the old year and bring in the new.

Food was OK not great but was nice we went for a lunch , but would go again the service was very good

We went On Wednesday lunch time for our Christmas Lunch and have no complaints at all, the food was excellent the service Was brilliant and excellent value for money, ladies that lunch would like to thank all at The Ship especially the chef and the young lady that waited on us x

Had a gorgeous Xmas meal on Thursday 3rd December. Couldn't fault anything, delicious. Lovely waitress and barmaid Rebecca looked after us as usual. And then today my Mum and sister went in 2 seperate parties for Xmas lunch and had excellent meals again. Highly recommended!

We visited the ship on a Monday lunchtime for a birthday meal and after placing my order I was told that there was no mash potato prepared (which I thought was not satisfactory at 12.20 when food start serving at 12.00) I stated that I would have chips instead of mash with the steak and ale pie but I was not asked what I would like as a replacement for the mash on the cottage pie and it was just sent with chips. I also was not happy that the kids meals as advertised on your website was priced at £4.95 and included a free drink and ice cream. I was charged £5.25 just for the main meal. I have enjoyed my visits to the ship in the past but this visit I was disappointed with.
