The Ship Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The food was good bar staff very friendly only downside it was a bit cold would come again nice lunchtime there lovely pictures of the local area

Friendly staff and food was excellent did a satisfaction check. Clean surfaces and surrounds. Will return in the future

Popped in for a quick lunch while out researching our family tree. Lovely, quaint pub! Landlord was kind enough to tell us it’s history.

Went for Sunday roast. Wife had lamb and I had beef. Service was great. Food was excellent. Tasty and hot. Will definitely be back

Great Sunday roast. Plate was overloaded and was great value for money. Location great for families as they have a great play park in the beer garden.

Good place for a meal and often there is music, which is an added bonus. We come here often and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Good quality food

Great pub with a cozy vibe! The Ship Inn offers delicious food, especially the fish and chips. Friendly staff, great local beers, and excellent service. Highly recommend for a visit!

I got served by a very lovely lady called Katie, she had a big smile on her face and made me feel very welcome. Would recommend for a good drink.

Lovely place, great staff and amazing food. Highly recommend to anyone! We came with our 4 children for a family meal on the last night of our holiday and staff went above and beyond to make sure we knew about all of the food choices including specials and all drinks including the cocktail offers which we definitely liked! The food was amazing, compliments to the chef. Could not have had a better experience. The kids also loved the play area out the back area and had a fab time. Thank you to the staff Katie, Finn and Kelly for making our time here special, we will definitely be coming back :-) Thank you.

We’re staying at Par Sands and wanted to walk to a pub for food and a couple of drinks. We made a great choice in choosing The Ship Inn. Service was great, food excellent (would recommend the Steak and Ale Pie), great value for money, good choice of drinks and surroundings were nice too. We hadn’t booked and when we arrived the pub was busy but the barman behind the bar found us a table. Also great that we could take our dog in with us too. Great work all at The Ship Inn.

Déjeuner dans le beer garden un dimanche de juin. Plats typiques excellents servis rapidement par un personnel aux petits soins. Le lieu est également très agréable.

We had the good fortune to stumble on this lovely inn on our 10 minute walk from Par beach. The staff were all super friendly, very efficient and delightfully attentive. The lager was really cold on a very hot day and our meal was well presented and really tasty. We both had one of the vegetarian options and were really happy with our choice from an extensive menu. We ate in the garden as it was such a lovely day.

Really great pub, small but well done menu - and a good range for meat eaters, vegetarian and vegan folks too. Bar drinks are varied and are one of the few pubs I’ve ever been to that stock Admirals Old J rum in many forms (gold is best) really friendly staff and great lunch, lovely indoor and outdoor area too!

I had the burger & chips .I couldn't eat the burger it was awful ,i broke it up & fed to my sisters dog everything inside the bun roll was like mush ,the chip were really pale .We always used this pub for 20 yrs when my family down on holiday we were al very disappointed with our meals & won't eat here again.

We were on holiday just up the road from The Ship inn rang up and booked a carvery for 4 for Sunday lunch,we arrived and were given a nice table ordered our drinks and then given a ticket for the carvery,there were two choices of meat Beef and gammon and a superb range of veg alongside roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings,mashed swede,peas, cabbage etc.a superb meal after our meal we all had dessert two banana splits and two sticktoffee all in all a superb meal in a very nice pub with a lovely atmosphere,we will definitely be visiting again for a meal before we go home.Mr M Gale Rushwick Worcester.

After a long beach walk with my partner,son and 2 dogs..we chose to eat Lunch at the Ship inn as it was right buy the beach carpark...big mistake.. we ordered 2 hunters chicken and a cheese and pickle sandwich costing £39...drinks at xtra cost.. food came within 5 minutes..WOW that came fast to fast...well I wish it never came at all ..it was well below standard... we were all hungry after the walk and looking forward to a nice lunch... chicken was dry not even luke warm as we're the peas ..only thing that had any heat was the shop bought frozen fries... my partners sandwich was not worth £7 it was poor.. thin cheese hardly any pickle with a little salad on side that wouldn't fill a Sparrow... we were hungry as I said, so we all Ate what we wanted.. the dogs had most of it!!..if I was on my own I would of sent it back and asked for a refund.. As my partner is not of that nature she asked me to say nothing ... Such a shame Pub has got lots of character in a prime position... see photo of the Hunters chicken...£16 for that..laughable...well I did laugh when I first saw it... would I return?? Maybe for a drink and to use the toilet... but never for food unless there's been a very big change in the Kitchen...

Fab famalam meal out during touring caravan stay nearby. Wonderful atmosphere, doggo friendly and staff and food were schamazing. Great way to spend an evening and not bad prices! Was all so good I only remembered to photograph one dessert!!

Should of listened to the locals, worst pub in the area. The food was dire and I can't say the service was any better, just plain rude, don't expect to be made felt welcome at all. Went to complain, the locals who were sat at the bar said don't bother that's the owners son Finn it won't get you anywhere, they will just say you are wrong. Will be avoiding from now on..

Lovely afternoon visiting family. Great for kids and food was amazing! Staff were super friendly too

I spent a few days at The Ship Inn and found the food to be very good, the beer to be nicely kept with plenty of choice and the people were very welcoming. The Pub has a great atmosphere.

Book in advance as advised they book up early for the carvery. Fathers day with our booking we went there. No carvery, very little on the menu that we could eat. Ruined my husband's father's day. Menu they had was poor

The food was really well cooked and value for money. Staff all very friendly and helpful , pub and the beer garden really lovely , especially on a summer evening. Would recommend A+

Have emailed the pub and had what I feel is an abrupt reply. I will be replying! Numerous things to be able to mention but food definately not as advertised and we weren't advised of it on ordering, cold/ lukewarm plates so food went cold, mixed orders on wrong plates, lack of communication between kitchen, servers and customers, servers were leaning over those still eating to clear plates even though they were asked not to on at least 3 occasion! On the plus side, the beer was good as was the sunshine when we finished.

£14.00 For a burger asked for no chips. Queried price because of no chips with it, was told that's the price with or without chips. Didn't want to waste chips. That's OK won't be back. Poor quality poor service.

Lovely beer garden, there was entertainment on (not great) however only served food if you pre-book and didn't allow you to bring in food. Really nice staff, but badly run pub

Food was clearly heated up frozen goods foods, chunky hand cut chips were clearly skinny fries and the childrens fish and chips were chewy. Burgers were greasy and definitely not grilled to perfection. Staff didn't ask how food was until we were nearly finished and as we had had a long day out without food we were clearly hungry so wasn't in the position to complain enough about the state of the food but if I knew in advance i definitely wouldn't of paid the price for the meals listed so please think twice before visiting

This used to be good so after a long day out we made a plan have dinner here. The food we received was clearly reheated frozen food. When we complained we were just met with a vacant face and a one word response of "okay". Even my 7 year old said his fish and chips was chewie and tasted strange and he loves frozen food like most kids that age do.

Went in with friends for a pint over the weekend, my Doombar tasted off. Went to the bar to swap it out and was confronted by the "bar manager" which he informed me he was very rudley/snappy when I complained about my beer. He asked what I wanted to do about it as if it was my fault it was off, never known a bar tender to have 0% customer/people skills. Heard him tut and moan to the other bartender as I left. We left very shortly after, wont be back!!!

Called them early Sunday afternoon to be told that they served food until 8pm arrive at 6:30 to be told that they stopped serving food because they were backlogged with orders. Not ideal when you’re staying at the holiday park with no other food options...

Had a great roast dinner with drinks. food was most delicious, prefectly cooked meat and vegetables. Service was fantastic.

We booked a table of 12 a few days in advance and the food was poor other than the mixed grill for £24 but served on a piece of wood was not great came out on a chopping board. Hunters chicken for the price was...

The staff and the service was second to none. I have a very unusual palat as I do not eat many foods, the chef here was so accommodating that I thourally enjoyed my lunch. How nice to be able to sit with my dog and...

Visited today after an outing with the kiddies to par beach, massive beer garden plenty of outside seating, great play area for the kids great tasting beer and excellent food!

Visited this past weekend, beautiful interior classic country pub, staff were very attentive and polite went above and beyond to make me and my family feel welcome, delicious food i had steak cooked perfectly and tastes FANTASTIC will definitely be returning

Return visit for a Sunday carvery last week as a treat (and a bonus that I didn't have to cook myself). It was a choice of beef or turkey or even both if you wished, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, creamy leaks, carrots, mashed swede, peas,...

Excellent food and service Sunday carvery Excellent and fish and chips on Friday delicious very dog friendly

Well went to ship inn tonight 30 of us booked by friends from up country not Cornwall, had to prebook meals as expected due to large group, when we turned up ordered was cocked up meals were wrong, paid a start of evening not end...

We shan’t be having a meal at this pub again. Good position near the beach, great pods for Summer eating outdoors, decent old-fashioned interior with a welcoming fire and Old Rosie on tap. However, the food was dire! A fairly limited, predictable menu but we...

Shocking Sunday Lunch. We wish we went anywhere else. Beef tough, potatoes undercooked and the gravy was just like muddy water.

Came in on mothering Sunday and witnessed nothing less than shocking treatment of staff. The tall chap behind the bar who I presume to be the manager belittling and down right out of order treatment if 2 girls behind the bar. Just shocked and won't...

I have never experienced anything like it!! We went there for a meal for Mothers day today and I am totally shocked at how the Management spoke to their staff. We could overhear one staff member being sworn at, using terrible language, in front of...

I regularly pop to this pub as its down the road, it is such a welcoming friendly place, beer is good, vast range of gins and rums. Food is good as well. I am really surprised that people moan about the team here, the bar...

We've been here a few times and tried a variety of foods, but it's consistently disappointing, especially given the prices. They have an outdoor play area for children, which is convenient in the summer.

Came here for lunch a couple weeks ago, we will be back. Very welcoming good food (a little bit pricey) very clean nice decor. Had a bad pint of offshore which was quickly replaced with a one from a new barrel. Dog friendly and a...

Once again had a most delicious Sunday roast lunch. Beef and Pork were very tender and the chouce of vegetables was fantastic. I had the small plate which was plenty and my husband the regular size. We shall be back.

Visited last Friday evening for a catch-up meal with friends and received a friendly welcome upon arrival. We were served with drinks and menus straight away and offered a choice of tables. Menu is now larger than before and had a nice choice of food....

I joined The Weekend Choir in the room upstairs the pub. First visit here and it was a great space to sing in and had a lovely cosy feel. The pub area had a great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and made us...

Had a really lovely evening at the Sip Inn singing in the upstairs function room with the Weekend Choir. Lovely bar service, nice pub and staff made all the choir very welcome. Look forward to another evening here soon.

My first visit to The Ship - for a Friday night choir session! We used the upstairs function room which was just right for us, with a lovely cosy feel to it. Cathy our host was really helpful in accommodating us, giving us a warm...

We visited as part of an evening in which my partner was singing upstairs. We had booked an early evening meal to account for this. Sadly my meal of omelette and chips was lacking, although my pudding was nice. Service was odd, because the waiter...

I could tell from eating that the food was frozen prior!! I'd rather buy a tesco ready meal than put up with the Awful customer service I had recieved here, terrible place, terrible staff, get a takeaway instead.

Busy little pub when we visited out of season, on Saturday evening. Serves typical, simple pub food and we all had fish and chips. The fish was fresh, lightly battered and good quality. Served with nice chips and peas.

Limited menu and mine took over 40 minutes to arrive by which time my wife had finished her Carvery .Carvery not bad though and my chicken burger wasn't bad either. One thing which wasn't good is the very loud head banging music so will sit...

Visited today to take my mum out for a birthday lunch. Greeted by friendly bar staff who are very welcoming and served quickly. Food was amazing, plentiful that we struggled to eat it all, piping hot and served by waitresses that were polite, friendly and...

It was a really good idea to have an outside bar. It felt so much more summery. Dog friendly with water on tap outside too.

2x visits in the last week, quick friendly service and light years ahead of what it used to be. Having visited several times over the last 7 years the new owners have turned this place around. Several attentive friendly staff and definitely keyed up for...

Everything was made so easy for me to organise such a difficult celebration. Contact was responsive , even when I added unplanned requests to the catering requirements. An amazing buffet , brilliant service and great atmosphere. The perfect send off for my brother who would...

Visited early evening , Met by very friendly staff . Ordered two meals one from the specials board and another from the main menu. The quality of both was exceptional and in my view fairly priced. Service was excellent and very prompt. What more could...

Accueil camping car par le biais de BritStop, aucun problème. Nous avons pris un breakfirst très copieux et d'un bon...

Visited tonight for dinner. We viewed the menu on line a mainmenu was shown and a specials menu. We waited at the bar for 10 minutes on arrival a member of staff then arrived pointed to our table and gave us a menu which had...

We are staying at Par Sands holiday park so decided to walk down the drive to try the local pub and was so glad that we did. My friend and I had the mussels and they were delicious. Our husbands had the scampi and they...

Return to this pub after the pandemic to find new owners .Popped in after walking the dogs . Had a lovely evening . Bay the lovely lady behind the bar could not be more welcoming . Maybe have a meal next visit .upset we are...

We stopped for a beer on a warm sunny day and really enjoyed the range of ales and especially the grand garden. We didn’t eat but the food looked amazing. Loved to draft tonic!!

We recently had our wedding reception here; the venue is beautiful - especially upstairs, which they sectioned off as a private area for us. The staff and landlady were extremely accommodating and a pleasure to deal with! They were able to fulfil our menu requests,...

Visited the ship today whilst on our weekend break beautiful beer garden lots of space, great range of largers with helpful and friendly staff had a gourmet burger and must say it was tasty! We will definitely be back!

Its a lovely pub with a great beer garden with play equipment for the children on 1 side and a quite area around the corner, but unfortunately 3/4 of the way through my cajun chicken burger i discovered it was still raw. We did get...

We had fish and chips and a really lovely bottle of Rongopai, NZ Sauvignon Blanc (£16), which was lovely. The fish was nice and fresh, the chips ok crispy, peas and a dish of homemade tartare sauce. The food arrived quickly even though they were...

Really enjoyed our meal really good food prices and dog friendly inside and out! . Lovely welcome by staff and locals alike. Often pop in whilst dog walking from the caravan in par sands

Quiet pub when we were there but i imagine it gets very busy in high season. Plenty of seating choice in or out. Dog friendly. Good value pub lunch

i am afraid the food is terrible,my wife and i have been going for years and yes it was good,i am afraid this landlady does not like critiscism and always has an excuse,you need to sort it out lady and stop makin g excuses,i remeber...

My wife had a lovely scampi meal and I had a below average Chilli. Almost all my cubes of meat were chewy or worse....I gave my dog about 75% of my meat. The meal was very bland and although I asked for , and was...

Very squashed seating arrangements, some bar staff did not wear masks. The vegetarian carvery was not the expected nut roast, but 3 vegetarian sausages. The carvery did not serve a large selection of vegetables. The staff did not know if the Yorkshire pudding was vegetarian...

Always on the look out for a decent carvery. This is not decent. Meat swimming in water, veg tasteless, gravy a gloopy salty mess. Vegetarian option - veggie sausages. Expensive for what you get. Medium £10.95, large £11.95. Very poor value. Very few people wearing...

Dry and overcooked beef Chilli with soggy nachos for £10...I’d rather spend £2.50 at the local Co Op! The staff were non-existent and nobody bothered to check back on our table even though we were the only ones there! We asked to see the manager...he/she...

We were shown to our table but not actually told we needed to order at the bar (nor did any party of the menu/table tell us this) so unfortunately sat around waiting until we realised something was amiss….Staff were friendly enough but we had the...

We've been avoiding the Ship since last year after a disappointing Sunday Roast, we tried it again today and noted a fair improvement in quality. Thankfully now with the Carvery being back, we were able to serve our own portions, and felt we had fair...

Kathy and Nick were both brilliant hosts! Let us decorate the room how we pleased, put on an amazing buffet spread and were so hospitable the whole night. Thank you for an amazing staff party and we have already booked in round 2! We didn't...

Having arrived locally looked for somewhere close as been driving all day. Pick the Ship Inn. The staff were friendly and accomading and the bar had a large selection of drinks avilable. Sat down to eat to find a very limited menu but at reasonable...

We visited this evening too (see below review) as have had a lovely carvery here before albeit a couple of years ago and because we were in the area decided to pop in again. What a mistake that was actually in Hindsight when we saw...

We visited today after a walk on Par Sands, lovely looking pub inside and out, traditional Cornish decor. We all ordered the regular carvery which came in at just over £60 for 4 people with drinks, the food was not up to scratch at all,...

I was unsure whether the cod and chips I ordered was actually cod. The fish was grey and not white and flaky as you would expect decent cod to be. The meal was overall cooked well but just disappointed the fish was probably pollack!

Service was quite good, waiting staff seemed quite quick to take the orders, deliver the drinks, cutlery and sachet sauces. Meals arrived soon after, in dribs and drabs. It looked ok, but the chunky chilli was cold and had to be sent back . Its...

During our holiday in Cornwall we booked a meal for 8, five adults and three children, for a table inside. As the weather was so nice on the day we asked to sit outside, this was not a problem. The menu was very family friendly,...

Thank you so much to you all at the Ship Inn. We were a table of 8, we'd added 3 on the morning of our booked lunch. First person who picked up the phone was helpful and friendly, he checked with the chef and added...

Another great week at Par Sands made even better by the Ship Inn. When others seemed to be struggling with staff etc due to the pandemic the Ship again offered good, efficient service, good beer and great food (the chunky chilli was one of the...

Very disappointed having spend a wonderful time at Par beach, your menu and atmosphere looks great. Arrived to be told 6.30 25th August, they are not serving meals, yet it’s doesn’t show this anywhere. Please undated your meal time program schedule.

My daughter and I and 2children had lunch here today. We were made to feel welcome ,had a nice lunch and afterwards went into the garden to listen to Indian Queens silver band , a good day was had by all. We have been going...

The young man who took out order was very off hand with us. The chilli was watery and short on meat and flavour. And the so called tortilla chips just tasted of chip fat. No return visit for us.

Lovely warm welcome here, good service, nice food and pleasant staff. We visited here about 3 times during our 7 day stay in mevagissey, this is the only place we felt welcomed, nothing was too much trouble.

My husband and I booked a table for two at The Ship Inn Par. On arrival waited at main bar to order our drinks shown our table. Only one other person was being served before us, however, there was only one young girl serving and...

Very rude staff and bad food was shouted at across the garden by the deputy bar manager who told me I had to go and pay but my wife was Inside paying then was asked to describe her it was embarrassing

We eat here twice in a week and we walked in off the street, no pre booking, and really enjoyed the food. Our third visit, which was earlier in the evening than the first two was different. We were told that they weren 't taking...

We were a bit hesitant to eat here after reading some of the previous reviews. Thank goodness that we didn't take too much notice of them!! I called & booked a table for Wednesday 14th July evening. The staff were warm & welcoming & we...

We visited for lunch on a lovely sunny day. Plenty of space in the garden either in the sun or the shade. It was table service only and the staff were so friendly and efficient. We ordered the fish and chips and whitebait and we...

Stopped off here - initially to use the loo after visiting Par Beach. Was with my husband, my elderly mother in law and Bruno (lurcher dog). Nice garden, tables all spread out. We ate here twice and both times the food and service were great....

Had dinner last night which was very tasty service was excellent. Food was served hot and served with a smile would recommend. It also has a lovely beer garden which is great if the sun is shining

We were staying at the Holiday park and messaged to book a table for the Sunday not realising it was father's day, we were shown to our table inside by a friendly member of staff, a few minutes later our drinks & food order was...

Spacious garden, plenty of seating, good beer and excellent food, we had the brisket beef and fish and chips - really good price for really good food!

We popped by this week, service was slow but that cant be helped especially with everything thats been happening in the past year, staff explained the wait on food and were easy to communicate with. There was track and trace scan codes on every entrance...

I've been visiting the ship for many years being local as have my whole and never have I experienced anything like the service I did tonight. Family friendly? I think not. The comments to children for playing with a ball in the garden were uncalled...
