The Ship Inn in North East Lincolnshire

Attended for birthday meal celebration. Very poor service. Waited 20 minutes to be served for a drink. The menu was limited. The mushroom stroganoff tasted no different in taste or texture to the garlic mushroom starter. Could have been the same ? Meal came warm had to be reheated. Very disappointed won’t be returning.

Food was excellent. Service friendly. Cosy pub. It was well worth a visit . Will certainly return in the near future. I will be recommending this pub to my friends.

We visit this local pub a fair bit, the food is always super, we arranged to go with family for the Christmas menu, and we are really pleased we did.. as always the service was brilliant and the food was great, very tempted to book in again and just the two of us enjoy it all over again.

We went for Sunday lunch today as a family. The roaring fire and Christmas decorations made for a lovely atmosphere. The food didn’t disappoint and was lovely and a lot of effort can be seen in it. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t have been more helpful. We will definitely be coming back.

Really disappointed. Waited 30 mins for food and it was cold when served. Beef was fatty and chewy. Not much vegetables so we complained and more veg was served and was better. I would not recommend. Not good value for money at all

Came last minute and pleasantly surprised. All enjoyed our Sunday lunch. One thing we all said though was that the open fire needs to be lit for warmth and atmosphere! Can’t understand why it wouldn’t be lit in winter in a country pub!!

Beautiful food and wonderful service. Fish is the speciality and it didn’t disappoint. We booked and pre ordered in advance and the lovely staff catered for our children’s needs and made our lunch an absolute delight. Every dish from the starter to the deserts and even the coffee were perfect. Big thanks to all the staff for putting on such a lovely lunch for our family and we shall be returning again soon!

We live locally but only discovered the Ship Inn this year. Now it is our ‘go to’ place for family meals or just a relaxing couples evening. Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking my Uncle and Aunt visiting us from Germany. They absolutely loved the steak and ale pies and my halibut off the specials menu was delicious. I really hope the halibut makes its way onto to the main menu! The treacle toffee pudding is also the best I’ve enjoyed and my uncle and aunt went home very happy. Also worth noting the chips, hand cut chips and skinny fries are all great though the hand cut chips win the day. It’s rare you find a restaurant that serves top quality food in a really good portion size. Enjoy!

Run club Wednesday took us to The Ship Inn for our after run food and beer. Booking in process was good. Bar Staff was brilliant. Food was awesome. Great atmosphere, nice and friendly. Thank you

There was a great ambience in th Ship Inn, the ladies who were working behind the bar were extremely helpful, friendly and curteous. The Fish and Chips were absolutely delicious, and I will definitely be visiting again.

My village pub but not been in for a good few months. Had a meal here for my partners birthday last night. Easy to book via the website, requested a table we liked no problem. Staff very friendly, prompt service and food was excellent. It is a little more expensive than other pubs in the area but often you get what you pay for and the food they serve here is not your usual 'pub grub', it is high end restaurant quality and worth the extra cost. I had calamari to start and partner had chilli and lime jumbo prawns, then hamburger and hand cut chips, it was delicious, partner had the mixed seafood & meat paella which was lovely. Very good portions. Usually quiet in the week around 5-6pm busy on Sundays and booking needed. Try it here you won't be disappointed. Recommend it highly.

The ship inn at barnoldby - we will be back! We were in the area over the weekend researching some names recently discovered in the family tree from the 1800s and came across this gem of a pub. The staff were fab, we asked some questions about the area and why we were in the area and they kindly handed us a book to look at about the area from way back - which was helpful and greatly appreciated. We had the 2 course Sunday lunch and dessert - wow! We both cleared the plates. Lovely food, lovely staff we will definitely be coming back hopefully soon!

The food is delicious and staff attentive. The beer garden is a sun trap but wish it could be tidied up and made more comfortable.

Excellent. Called in for lunch and although the pub was not very busy, the young lady serving, was very welcoming and thoughtful. We had the cheeseburger and the chicken kebab. Both were superb and really tasteful. We were so pleased that we returned for an early dinner two nights later. The pub was busier on a very warm evening and the two girls serving were lovely. This time we had halloumi skewer & roast loin of monkfish. Really lovely. We even managed dessert - lemon meringue pie & sticky toffee pudding, both very yummy. A great shame we don’t live closer as were just staying nearby for a holiday.

Not very welcoming, members of staff (2young ladies) seem very out of place behind a bar. No atmosphere, was expecting a cosy country pub vibe!!!

What a first class menu, the chief provided a five star result. The young lady who served us was respectful and very helpful. Would certainly be coming back for more. Well done you guys.

First time at the ship inn , absolutely beautiful, staff really friendly and food was amazing . Thank you

Really great seafood and good service. Very welcoming, affordable and dog friendly. We found it very easy to get to and park and would highly recommend for a visit.

Booked in for a meal with friends Saturday evening. The service was good from start to finish. We all ordered different from the menu and we were all suitably impressed. One of our friends eats only gluten free but that was no bother either. Very...

We meet up old friends at the Ship Inn. It's an hour and a half away from us, and the same for them. We've had lunch there four times now and always enjoy the food and the friendly service, which is why we keep coming...

I had the pie and it was expensive for what it was , it was just like any pub grub. My partner had the chicken burger and was very bland , coleslaw wasn’t very nice. Quite overpriced for what it is but friendly staff.

Went for evening meal on Friday. Lovely service and good food. Place was very warm and clean. Menu had plenty of options and wine was delicious

We’ve been a few times but last night it was very disappointing, one girl working the whole bar restaurant area, food took over 40 minutes to arrive with no explanation to why, missing cutlery and napkins from the table. Menu stated a purée, it was...

Went there for a meal and drinks. Food was average. But most of all when it come to the end of the night our friend who is disabled went to the bar to pay, looked at the bill and thought is was £265 as he...

We had trouble from the start with the lack of Christmas on line menus as promised.. The ship asked for cheque deposits 2 weeks before and then 7 days before the meal said they cannot handle cheque deposits. On arrival the path was very slippery...

I have been to the Ship twice in the last few weeks and both times have enjoyed a nice meal, served by a pleasant and helpful waitress. Both times I have visited have been quiet, in terms of other diners, but I would not hesitate...

Staying at an Airbnb in the village with friends - 10 of us in all. We were welcomed, served good beers and wines to drink, food portions were good and very tasty. In contrast with some of the somewhat negative reviews of late, our experience...

We visited today for Sunday lunch with family. We all had roast dinner and enjoyed our meal. 3 of us had beef and 1 pork. Desserts were decent too and we left full and happy enough. Service wasn’t particularly timely though and on 4 occasions...

Went to this restaurant for the first time ever with some friends. The setting and place is lovely and well presented so we was quite upbeat. We were welcomed to the restaurant by only what can be described as inexperienced waitress who on one hand...

I very rarely leave reviews and normally they are about a good experience. However our experience last night at The Ship (which we have been to on and off for over 40 years was terrible. We should have realised when we walked in, it was...

We have never, ever left a bad review before. Our experience at the Ship tonight was odd. We arrived early for our table and were ignored at the bar for 15 minutes. When we were seated we were ignored again and had to ask for...

We used to eat regularly at the Ship Inn under its previous owners and always had a good meal. Having subsequently moved, we thought it would be good opportunity to return tonight after a 2 year lapse, but unfortunately we were very disappointed with the...

The tapas was excellent and compared extremely well with Tapas we have had in Barcelona .Service from all staff was exemplary

Lovely family meal. Food and service were excellent. We would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Today we went to the ship inn for a birthday meal. All food served to us was well presented and tasty. Prices were very reasonable and we especially enjoyed the cocktails.

This pub use to be such a pleasure to visit. Ever changing specials, a familiar face behind the bar! I recently went with my husband. The menu is limited and despite advertising a new menu it was mainly the same! Specials are not something that...

Lovely meals. I had the duck my partner the seafood linguine. Both were excellent. The ambiance of the pub was really nice and the service fabulous. Would definitely recommend and will come back if we visit the area again.

Saturday evening meal booked for 6.30 ,no fish available ( in Grimsby a fish town !) One scampi ordered as a starter , this was most defiantly not scampi but battered warm water prawns . A scampi ordered as a main same again only this...

Another disappointed customer. Used to be excellent local restaurant but can say it was the worst meal we have had out since lockdown. 6:30 Saturday evening - no fish. My chicken kebabs had no skewers !! My partners meal came without vegetables which were eventually...

This meal was booked for my birthday, we haven't been for a while but this used to be my favourite pub/restaurant in the area. Sadly it has been ruined by the current owners. The once quaint and cosy bar area is a bland badly decorated...

Staff was polite venue was nice, but food over priced over cooked crap, would rather have a McDonald’s

Had fish and chips with garden peas. Fish very good. Chips with the skins on very tough to cut through and very hard to eat. Curry sauce with the meal. I like curry sauce but this wasn't really curry sauce; far too sweet. Vegan pie...

We’re really sorry to say that this lovely village pub is not what it once was. The food used to be amazing, with beautiful seafood and steak. Unfortunately the menu is very much deep fried. Something deep fried, served with an undressed salad to start....

I don't leave many reviews but felt that this venue was well worth a mention, we had Sunday lunch here on the 7th of Nov and it was great, I had the beef which was lovely and my good lady had the lamb (a little...

We have always enjoyed our time at The Ship but unfortunately this visit was a huge disappointment, We asked for G&Ts , no lemon available as a garnish. We decided on scampi and chips and fish and chips as its always had a great reputation...

This place used to be fabulous under the previous ownership. But the new management and decor have been something of a step backwards. No atmosphere. Limited menu. Much of what is placed in front of you is from the catering delivery lorry and not made...

We live within walking distance from the Ship Inn at Barnoldby le Beck and hoped for a better experience than our visit earlier in the year. Booking was easy through the website. No problems there apart from I couldn’t bring up a menu through the...

On our last visit we found that they had limited menu not a lot to choose from, and the service was slow especially the time it took to serve our dessert (30mins)

Whilst the interior is freshly refurbished it has completely lost it's cosy charm and just looks like many other chain restaurant interiors. The dessert menu was totally underwhelming so for the first time in years my partner and I chose starter and mains. Whilst not...

My Mum and I look forward to our visits which are often on a Friday lunch. The lovely Mel welcomes us with a smile and provides excellent service! We usually choose a delicious starter each with extra chips and the portions are always very generous!...

Went to the ship to celebrate my 40th birthday. We were a party of 18. We had the back room to ourselves which we decorated for the occasion. We preordered due to the size of our party. The food was excellent, as was the service....

After reading reviews on here we were a little dubious about going, but I never like to judge on others experience and I'm glad we didn't! Lovely pub, lovely food, lovely service. 10/10 Can't wait to come back to try to Christmas fayre menu!

Not good at all...... so this is Grimsby right? Any sauces? The waitress asked.....yes Brown please.....5 mins later....we don't have any brown sauces. I was here in May and you had brown sauce......not in the last 9 weeks I've worked here. No one's asked me...

I’m not big fan off reviews but I think this one is a read and justified, I was rather looking looking forward to a meal with friends at the (ship Inn ) it was a disappointment and a sub standard meal well bellow any expectation.....

Under new owners the place looks good but the goods not, we had to wait over an hour before they would take our order, the chips were over cooked soggy and looked burnt, when they arrived at the table we asked if they could be...

Superb service and lovely food made for a fabulous visit. The fish and chips were excellent and the scallop starter was perfect.

I booked a table for 5 earlier in week,when we arrived we where told a party jad overrun so would we be OK sitting in the bar-this was fine by us. The bar staff where all very young but pleasant we where waiting a while...

Very disappointed. Limited what you could eat as specials menu was not available. Also when ordering desserts we was informed that there was only two available and the cheese board! Expensive for what was presented on the plate. The air conditioning wasn’t working and was...

Me and my boyfriend came for a Sunday lunch and it was texmmoned to us as we are not from the area. We were not disappointed!! The food was absolutely amazing! The staff were soooo friendly and attentive we couldn’t have wish for better service!...

Every Sunday, my sister, mother and myself go and try the local establishments for dinner. We have found some great places and we mark them out of 10. But we graded this as a 6 We read the reviews on this place and was very...

We booked for Saturday evening at 7 pm and the food arrived at our table at 8.25 pm after asking how much longer it would take. Totally appreciate that in this current climate staff shortages in the kitchen could have been responsible but updates from...

We visited as a family whilst staying nearby. The service was good and the waitresses were friendly. The pub was clean with a welcoming feel. The food was great. I had duck which was very tasty.

Lovely food great menu friendly attentive waitress called Harlie nice renovation and stunning outside area, nice cocktails.

As it was recommended to us, we decided to dine at The Ship. The bar staff and waitresses were very polite, attentive and professional and the drinks were satisfactory. Unfortunately the food was just very ordinary. The starters, a prawn cocktail and pan fried scallops...

Had great expectations after been before ( but not for some time) The young girls out front were attentive. Drinks & Food order was taken quickly. Starters came quickly , which was nice however nearly 50 minutes wait for the mains. The food! Triple cooked...

What can I say what a great warm welcome , the hostess of the pub was warm , charming and really made our visits. Our Oder was dealt with efficiently, professionally but with a warmth and personable manner . The good was amazing, you have...

Four of us had lovely fresh chips are some of the best I've tasted friendly staff and good value for money definitely would go back.

Ate here last Thursday, last day of our holiday, what a special treat it was too. Food and drinks all perfect and so was the service well worth a visit

I think the new owners have made the pub look fantastic. I ordered food and soft drinks, the food arrived and was delicious. The chicken burger was amazing and the Biscoff cheesecake was the best thing I have ever tasted!! The pub was really busy,...

This is a nice environment however the experience was very poor. The bar was freezing cold, we had to wait 50 minutes for the food to arrive at the table despite it not being particularly busy. It was tasty but mostly cold, with hardly any...

We booked this pub restaurant based on the menu on Facebook, as we had a couple of fussy eaters. When we arrived the menu was completely different which was very disappointing. When we asked why this was we were told that the menu on Facebook...

Went the other evening and have to say it was a lovely evening. Chicken burger was extremely tasty and amazing. The pornstar Martin was also extremely tasty. Would recommend to any one

Ordered the valentines menu yesterday. It came in lovely take out boxes and was very well presented. The food itself was fabulous well with it. Will definitely order again while lockdown continues.

Takeaways are incredible. The change of management has been a huge success and I can’t wait for it to reopen to enjoy our local the way it should be.

My wife and her lovely Mum and myself visited the Ship following its re-birth under new owners on Sunday before lockdown. Completely excellent with high quality food, specially the smoked haddock. In its former lifer we were regulars, so were ready to be critical at...
