The Ship Inn in Kingston upon Hull, City of

was early meeting my friend, was welcomed by lovely friendly staff and directed me to an empty table! Should of booked as there wasn't many available. sat next to the cosy warm fire. Very popular place for a Tuesday evening. we ordered half a cider and large wine at the bar which was very well priced. We ordered our food at the bar and when it arrived it was super yummy. wasn't disappointed at all. Staff were super lovely. 100% will go again.

We visited this pub twice during our little break away with the kids. We didn’t purchase a meal however the menu looked lovely and the food that came out looked very tasty. We paid around £15 for a round of 5 drinks with crisps. The landlady was very welcoming. The kids absolutely loved the outdoor seating and thought all the different breeds of chickens were fantastic. We would defo revisit if we’re ever in Beverley again as this isn’t your typical ‘chain’ type pub.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, great staff, good beer selection, cracking beer garden and we loved our sandwiches, we only live about a 20min walk away so will 100% return

What has happened to this pub. Went in for food and drinks with our friend. Food absolutely disgusting. There were 3 of us, two haddock and chips one scampi and chips. Haddock average, Scampi and chips on all three plates not cooked properly. Scampi soggy mess, chips pale and still chilled. Beer flat. Very disappointing evening, definitely won't be eating here again. Not even good pub grub at affordable prices, way overpriced. Disgusting experience.

Lovely pub with great log/coal fires. Used to allow dogs, but no more. Used to have lovely large fish, but are now just average with sub-par dark brown batter. Chips are now the average pale pub fare. Burgers are also very dissapointing. And now the prices have been hiked! Not sure we'll be back very much :(

Came for Sunday lunch. Took a while to acknowledge us despite a lady at the bar with her back to us slicing lemons infront of a mirror! Ordered Sunday dinner. Food was so below average. Small portion, meat so so dry, Yorkshire puddings abysmal and gravy awful. No one came to ask us if we were ok so we left. No ambience, not a nice meal and sadly won’t be back

A party of 3 stayed for an evening meal and overnight in their accommodation. The evening meal was very good, excellent value and Mel gave us a brilliant and friendly service. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Would be happy to return here if the opportunity presents it self.

Sunday lunch not available but has gammon which was very nice. The crean garlic mushrooms were some of the best I've had in years. Suggest getting early as to get Sunday lunch it can get busy.

Fantastic food, plenty of choice for drinks ,great staff, lovely real fires add to the welcoming atmosphere

In winter time the log fires are lit and its very warm and cosy. A little dark, not many people came in, waited 30 mins for food which was lovely. Staff where very nice to us. We walked their from Entick camping site but their is a car park around the back.

went for sunday lunch last week not many people in, we waited 1 hour 10 mins for our food to arrive, the roast beef was lovely everything else was cold, roasties were hard.loads of people were complaining some got up and went out, never again.

Used to love to bring the family here for Sunday lunch as the food was lovely, the place very welcoming and super dog friendly. Lovely in the winter too as nice roaring fires. Not anymore since lockdown it seems. Well they just lost about £100 at the weekend by saying our dog was not welcome. Not going back, and will put people off in future. Good luck!

Hasn’t been here since the pandemic started and good to see the fish and chips still Greta value! Busy night but still friendly and served quickly! Biggest drawback for us was as some others have commented why no dogs ?? More pubs are accepting dogs not refusing them? Covid has nothing to do with dogs whatsoever so unless there’s been an incident with dogs I don’t get the ban and the definite No dogs allowed on the board seems almost as though yiu hate dogs 🤷‍♀️Massive shame as we always take our very well behaved dog usually for tea to a dog friendly pub except for tonight so we didnt hang aroud! Then To read even banned in the beer garden beggars belief!!

I still give this lovely pub five stars in respect of about 35 years of happy occasions for both drinks and meals with three successive dogs, all of whom were well behaved and under the table. Now this has all changed and I am not sure that it is solely because of the Covid situation. I have tried to contact the management three times to find out why there is now a dog ban in the pub and dire warnings in the garden outside. So far no reply. I am not trying to be difficult, I would just like to know why? We are getting old and this was such a lovely sociable place to chat and have a drink and/ or a meal. Can anyone tell us why we are now banned?

We used to go regularly and it felt like a welcoming homely pub, however we quickly discovered they no longer accept dogs and if you do you have to stay outside in the feeezing cold marquee, we wanted to eat but decided as is it was too cold out we gave it a wide birth. Such a shame and seems crazy that they first used the no dogs excuse due to covid but now still maintaining this even now. Will be finding other local country pubs with more welcoming approach in future. Potting shed and many others locally still let pooches in! 👍

We were on holiday in Hull & called into the pub in the evening on our way back from Bridlington looking for something to eat we were not disappointed. The pub was pleasantly full, the blond bar lady was very friendly. The menu consists of roughly 10 choices, the haddock & chips were very nice washed down with a couple of pints of Newsome's beer.

If you want some atmosphere and a good night with friends and feel that restrictions are easing stay well clear of the Ship at Dunswell. Tight restrictions still in place no wonder it was half empty. We wont be going back.

We love this place. The grounds are great for enjoying sunny weather. Quite a bit if wildlife to watch. Chickens all over the place. Donkeys in the field next door. The beer is always good too. However, the food is really disappointing. Years ago this place did great food and we went regularly. On this occasion we had fish n chips. The fish was clearly from frozen, it was so flat and greasy, neither of us could finish it. Its a thin fillet with skin on. Decent chips and the smallest spoon of mushy peas ever. Would love this place to sort the food out! We would come regularly. As it is, go for drinks only 👍🏻

Visited for a couple of drinks in the afternoon sun, greeted by a friendly landlady, low fuss and efficient COVID procedures. The beer garden is it's star feature, sat amongst the chickens and other wildlife. I would definitely return and try the food as they weren't serving at the time of my visit.

went for a couple of afternoon drinks, such quick and simple procedure for track and trace, lovely polite friendly bar lady,excellent customer service, made to feel very welcome thank you. Beer garden area round the back is lovely and relaxed with a country feel with chickens running around, nice and rustic but well kept clean and tidy. Will definitely be back and thinking of booking a night in the accommodation too.

My husband surprised me by bringing me to my favourite place for my birthday. We stayed in the Ship’s Quarters , it was very clean, a lovely room, breakfast all in the fridge, it was excellent. We had a meal which was fab. The bar staff, especially Michelle and Melissa are so friendly and so helpful, you feel really part of the community. The landlord was very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We had Sunday lunch which we often do and it is first class every time. We will definitely be booking again to stay, thoroughly recommend every thing about it. If you have never been, get yourself there!

We love this pub. It has great food and a lovely beer garden the kids enjoy. However they no longer allow dogs in the beer garden. Apparently due to COVID-19. I’m not sure what COVID-19 has to do with dogs in the beer garden but I am not willing to pay to sit in the car park I can do that for free in Tesco! No other pub I am aware of has had to change where dogs can go due to COVID-19. The government certainly hasn’t provided any guidelines in relation to dogs. We won’t be back until this has changed.

We have been part of this Pub Community for over 30 years! We have visited regularly, sometimes for drinks, sometimes for a sandwich lunch and often for main meals including birthday celebrations.In a nutshell this is a traditional Yorkshire Pub with traditional food. A place that looks after its local regulars as well as welcoming visitors,I just cannot believe the negative comments which in my mind amount to slander!

Passed this pub many times and heard good reviews.....decided to book Lovely authentic quiet atmosphere Food fabulous and reasonably priced Well worth stopping by

Have passed this place many, many times.Decided to visit at the weekend (Sat Afternoon) and was very pleasantly surprised when we entered the venue.The inside is a very olde worldy pub, roaring real fires, keeping the bar and eating areas very warm and cosy.Bar had plenty of draught beers on offer at a very reasonable price.We had a starters (combo for 2) which was plentiful and filling, had to consider whether we would eat all of our mains.The menu had a good variety of main meals, seemingly home cooked on the premises and again value for money for a non chain pub. The choice was of a good variety but we didn't feel overloaded with too much to chose from.Staff were friendly and welcoming, the lady tending the bar, taking orders and constantly busy tending the fires was very helpful and is a credit to the venue.There is an area set aside for anyone who wishes to take well behaved dogs in, which certainly wasn't a problem for us.Thank you, will be back very soon.

Just returned from lunch. We were given a voucher for Christmas & I honestly don’t know why we’ve never been before. It’s quaint & cosy with roaring open fires and plenty of atmosphere . Mixture of dishes from pub classics to good old fashioned food. All cooked well & plenty of it. Customer service was excellent, never before have I been asked if a break was needed between courses & when ordering a drink whilst eating the server was happy to bring our drinks over. The chef even personally came out to explain what was included in dishes. Will we return MOST DEFINITELY

The owners are unfriendly, atmosphere and Devore terrible and food utter rubbish, avoid at all costs!

We stayed here at the Ships quarters as guests of the local Caravan manufacturers. We also had Sunday lunch, which was like home cooking

Lovely friendly staff was made to feel really welcomed. We had a lovely meal and stayed overnight!!! Room was lovely and clean comfy and cosy !!!! Highly recommend this place definitely wouldn’t hesitate to stay again !!!

Been a couple of times and impressed by both the food on offer and the staff. Friendly and clean - good honest home cooked food, warm welcome - what more can I say - highly recommend

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights, wonderful clean and friendly place to stay with rabbits and chickens freely running around in the back which you can watch through the window. Very reasonably priced and the food was good too.

Lightly battered Jumbo haddock , chips and mushy peas is their star of the show . Very friendly staff and a good range of beers , a proper pub .

Been here a couple of times recently. One day we had lunch in the beautiful big beer garden, scampi and chips were spot on. Second time we had Sunday roast and it was really lovely. The staff are very friendly and the price is more than reasonable for the quality. Will definitely be a regular here

Visited yesterday with my daughter as she was treating me to afternoon tea. She had booked for 12 noon and were the first in the pub but we didn't feel at all uncomfortable. The landlady was lovely , very welcoming , showed us to our table and brought our pot of tea we requested. When the food came is was very well presented on a 2 tier slate stand with assorted sandwiches, scotch egg,mini quiche and hot brusheta on the bottom. The top was cream scones, chocolate cake, Bakewell tart and lemon cake. All the savoury and sweets were deliscious, fresh and appetizing. We had the choice of prosecco or gin after we had finished and both plumped for the gin. We were enjoying ourselves so much we bought a further couple of gins and when my Husband and Son came to pick us up they stayed for a drink as well. I would highly recommend for a nice change in a cosy setting.

The pub is lovely and cosy and we were looking forward to some good food but were very disappointed. Shame as pub and staff were very friendly.

Great car park and outdoor area, id love to come again in a summer. Food was lovely amd had that home made vibe. roaring fires cosy little pub. Staff was very friendly. They have fab baby changing facilities as for me thats a big issue with a 8 month old, high chair available also. Note to self to check specials board next time as i didnt see it until id already ordered from menu. Great choice, great wine, coffee was a bit dissapointing but other than that i had a fab afternoon with my baby, mum and nan. will deffo visit again but in summer to sit with the chickens out back .

Lovely food but the poor staff attitude and service let the overall experience down. Staff were very rude and we were made to feel an inconvenience for ordering food. Would not come back.

we've been a couple of times for lunch with our small dog, very friendly place and great log fire and good tables, the food is very good and the toilets are absolutely spotless, cant wait for summer because the beer garden looks great.

Lovely traditional pub, cosy atmosphere. Plenty of choice on menu. Tasty, very enjoyable food. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely beer garden with chickens!! To sit out in summer. Lovely open fire to sit in front of at this time of year. Will definitely be back

We had a very good choice of meals but we settled for the All Day Breakfast, it was excellent and filled us up. The Pub was nearly full and that shows how good a place is. The Pub is also dog friendly .

I was sat in the extension area of this pub from 1pm to 18:30pm. The main reason i like to sit in this area is because it is handy for the disabled toilet. whilst sat there i saw one woman that was disabled use the toilet and on one occasion she had to wait for a able bodied person to exit the toilet before she could go in. I saw a female member of staff use the toilet when the female toilets are next door. I saw many regulars of the pub use the toilet to save walking to the one they should use and when i got up to use the toilet it had been locked and i was told to use the toilet at the far end of the pub.When i explained that i was disabled the toilet was unlocked but i was treat like a liar and when i tried to have a bit of banter with the person that had locked it i was told to "just use the toilet" and it was obvious that he did not believe me. The next time i use this pub i will carry my blue badge with me and will be happy to show it before i use the disabled toilet. Lets hope the management get there act in order. I was treat as a liar and that is not good enough. If i get a seat in the same area i will take some photo's to show how this facility is being abused.

Great pub grub staff very friendly and if you've had too many wines you can stay over in their hotel rooms highly recommend.

Called into the Ship on the evening of 31st October for a quiet drink, wanting to avoid any O.T.T. Halloween activities. The pub was traditional and welcoming with an obvious nautical taste to the decoration. The staff and locals were friendly and I enjoyed a couple of excellent hand-pulled pints of Abbot's IPA. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. We will certainly visit again.

My partner and I went in with the intention of having a Sunday roast . My partner went to the bar to order drinks and meal , was met by a rather rude waitress, she was very abrupt , absolutely no people skills !! If that wasn’t enough , she brought wine menu , mats and cutlery dumped them in the table and walked off !!

Called in for a bar meal with my husband and our little dog. The staff are very friendly, the place is spotless and clean and the food is lovely, with plenty of choice. Well worth a visit

This is a very traditional pub complete with log fire and old seating, has low ceilings that give it a very homely feel.

We recently held a wake for my late father. Michelle the manager was amazing. She organised everything and was the perfect host. The buffet was excellent and Michelle looked after us from start to finish. Thank you so much for making our day that little bit easier x

We’ve been on a lunch time previously and enjoyed a baguette. Thought we would have a proper meal this time. My husband had chicken curry with half chips and half rice and a small naan bread. I had salmon with a prawn sauce, new potatoes and peas. The curry was very tasty and plentiful. The salmon was tasteless. There were small,shrivelled, hard, chewy prawns sat on the top with a sauce that had no taste to it. There was also a separate jug of the sauce that was still very bland. I will go back at some point but not for a while.

Poor food, poor service, very outdated pub, needs an upgrade inside, very dark and gloomy. Trying to be something it's not with the food

Great beers and great food , the Sunday lunches are lovely with a variety of meats but the haddock and chips is a winner . A good range of hand pulled beers and if you have had to much there is accommodation which is very good and reasonably priced . Well done Michelle keep putting the logs on the fire .

Dog friendly local with wood burning fires and friendly staff. Above average food. Better than the run of the mill chain pubs.

This used to be our place to go when we went to Beverly or Hull. Always enjoying the food and atmosphere.

Me and my wife stopped here after the hotel we had booked didn't work out.

We were staying just down the road and the owner advised us this pub is dog friendly with good food.

Not only been here a few times, but always remember Xmas eve and that Xmas morning before your big Xmas dinner, they really seem to have a great ambience and an enjoyable atmosphere...

Mi pareja y yo estábamos buscando un lugar para comer ya que estábamos volviendo a casa de Beverley y encontré este Inn. Una posada en el sentido antiguo que satisfacen a los huéspedes por la noche.

Llevamos a nuestros caballos de un coche y nos detuvimos aquí para descansar nuestros caballos y para conseguir una bebida suave, al gerente saliendo gritos en nosotros, tratándonos como escoria. Él era muy crítico. En lugar de preguntar en una buena manera para nosotros para ir a otro sitio. No se equivocó en absoluto. Fue tratado como él nos dio asco. Él lo puso como si la cara no cabe no ser educado.

Well it's been a long time since we popped in here for something to eat,and it is fair to say it will be even longer on our return, my husband and myself both had a quiche salad and chips, nahhhh wish I'd not bothered as if was a crustless quiche they would have been nothing to it not nice very flat and over cooked was still hungry as portion size was small

Visitamos a media tarde de domingo para el almuerzo. Hay muchas plazas de aparcamiento, el pub estaba lleno, pero encontramos una mesa para 4 sin ningún problema. El pub se ha ampliado en los últimos años y ofrece un ambiente acogedor, muy acogedor. Pedimos almuerzos y comidas de Domingo de la amplia gama de menú. Carne asada y el cordero eran muy buenos con verduras sabrosas y pud Yorkshire coliflor tarta de queso Steak & Ale con el mismo fue excepcional, y también tenía una ensalada de pollo caliente de nuevo muy bueno. La comida estaba caliente, sabroso y bien presentado adecuada caseras de calidad. Sin duda volveremos!

Vine aquí con mi madre, mi padre y mi novio. Mis padres vienen todo el tiempo, ya que este es su local. La comida es increíble y el personal es encantador. El jardín es hermoso en verano, cuando el sol brilla. Cuando mi familia de Londres también alojarse aquí. Lo recomiendo, ya que es el lugar perfecto para una comida de pub

My partner and I have visited the ship fairly regularly for years, unfortunately the last few times we have been very disappointed. This little pub did the best fish and chips at one time but now I would say it is one of the worst, the batter is thick and greasy they no longer do their own chips and now serve frozen like most other run of the mill pubs and the mushy peas now come from a tin. Aww such a shame, I used to highly recommend this pub highly, I wouldn't anymore, it feels like one of the run of the mill pubs that serve the same old rubbish. You really need to get your originality back and employ somebody that can cook and cares about what they serve.

Extremely friendly, 4 real ales but all very similar.The food was delicious, sensible portion sizes and very good value for moneyOn the downside regular customers clearly take precedent over non regulars which is a shame. It would not deter a re-visit but I might think twice about the timing of it

Nice traditional smallish pub with around 10 food tables. Atmosphere was Ok but food was not really that great. Starters were good but mains were pedestrian. "Special" steak pie was small and chicken dish was uninventive albeit both were home cooked. We might return but not quickly, there is better food out there.

Visited with my parents and the weather was perfect to sit in the lovely garden where chickens roamed. Such an excellent setting and perfect for families. Excellent traditional food and great local ales served and friendly welcome one staff.

CALLED IN HERE FOR A LATE LUNCH .this is a local pub and has a rustic feel to it the staff were very friendly and the food was just ok which i was a bit disappoined in as i had heard good things about the ship inn

Like a lot of people in the area over the years we've driven past here on our way to and from Beverley and have lost count of the number of times we've said "we really must go in there..." Well today we did and it's really worth going.Lovely cozy atmosphere inside, lots of outside space at the rear and extremely friendly and helpful people. The food is fairly standard pub fare, but it's very nicely done and excellent value for money. A healy-sized portion of Scampi and chips, Chilli and rice plus a side salad and four drinks came to £22.Food arrived quickly and the girl who served us was extremely helpful.We will definitely be going back!

Lovely old fashioned traditional pub. Can't believe in all these years we've Lived nearby and not popped in before now..!! We are suitably ashamed ! Anyway lovely food, we had the steak and ale homemade pie and it was lovely with plenty of gravy and well priced at £7.95 and all the other cooked meals were suitably priced with a range of sandwiches cheaper still. the bar maid was very welcoming and maybe a family member, we will bring our dog next time and look forward to trying the Sunday lunch and the Friday fish and chip specials ..

Great food, great staff, very friendly. Dog friendly, owners had nice dogs too. Good value too. Lots of parking to the rear.

I recently visited this pub upon the recommendation of a friend. I was not disappointed. I have driven by The Ship Inn on many occasions and not previously thought about going there. However, the pub is very inviting, with friendly staff and two coal fires. There is a good range of traditional pub grub that is home made. They say you get what you pay for and this is true here. While the food is not cheap by modern pub standards, at about £8 or so for typical main course, the quality is superb and much better that you would get elsewhere where the emphasis seems to be on two for one offers. There is a good range of drinks and beers on offer.I highly recommend this excellent establishment.

Enjoyed the atmosphere in the pub the staff very friendly and efficient. Friday is the fish and chip special day, The fish was fabulous a whale size portion but the batter was not to my taste. Chips and peas lovely. great value. My dog was hungry so they brought out some sausages for her and didn't even charge us. Thank you

I chose to go to the Ship Inn after reading reviews on this site. 3 of us went there for a meal on a very wet Saturday night. They have an extensive menu of traditional pub grub, my friend and I both chose the lamb shank in minted gravy, which was delicious, the meat fell off the bone and the gravy was just right.My husband went for his favourite of hunter's chicken. We also had pudding, again traditional, I had a scrummy treacle sponge with lovely smooth custard. This was one of the best pub meals I've had for a long time. I shall certainly go there again. They do a special offer of fish and chips on a Friday, somewhere to take my friend who loves fish n chips.

My wife and I visited the Ship Inn today and what a lovely surprise, log fires burning, great ale, great customer service and fantastic food. The ship inn was recommended by my mum and to say we were more than impressed is an understatement. The food was lovely and the place is faultless. We will be returning again next week. Highly recommended.

First time to this venue, excellent food, immaculate rooms, delightful setting.Well worth checking out if you have not been, the Landlord and Landlady are superb hosts and their staff made the point of ensuring you were looked after.

Visited many a time, although nice food it ALWAYS takes at least an hour+ for food to arrive which can be frustrating when it's not that busy :-( as many people have said on previous reviews.

I ended up eating here a few time, as relatives were staying at the attached accommodation.The food is above average for a "country" pub but is very close to Hull.Parking is free and there is space for about 20 cars.The outside seating area is spacious and frequented by the resident flock of chickens!If you are lucky to be there on a Sunday night, the landlord provides free chips and sandwiches for the patrons.

We called in for Sunday Lunch as we were passing a couple of months ago and it has now become our place of choice on a Sunday; we have been back several times. The meal has been consistently good, with a good selection of vegetables with your roast. The welcome has always been warm and even when busy the landlady always comes across to make sure everything is ok. All the staff are welcoming and cheerful. We find the small dinner is plenty big enough and at only £4.95 you feel you can splash out on a pudding too. We have had Sunday lunch at many venues but this is top of our list.

We visited on a Monday lunchtime. Pub was not busy. 5 other tables with customers. We ordered a cheeseburger and a steak pie. Our drinks included a pot of tea. 45 minutes later after ordering another round of drinks our meal arrived. The steak pie was okay but the beefburger was not the best quality and the cheese around it had been overcooked with the edges of the cheese a burnt crisp. Overall okay but probably wont be returning.

We've been here a few times now and each time have received a lovely warm, friendly welcome. The owner even offered to light the (real) fire for us one chilli night!We ate here a few weeks ago and all four us agreed the food was spot on. 2 of us had the mixed grill and there was certainly plenty of it. Almost too much for the plates to cope with haha (maybe could use bigger plates?!) All in all, a lovely, friendly, cosy little pub, with (so a staying customer told us) very nice rooms too!Definitely would recommend, big thumbs up!

We have only been here twice and both times have had a brilliant lunch. It is a cosy,friendly little pub. It prob best to book if you going for Sunday lunch as it a small pub it gets very busy but having said that if you have to sit and wait it is well worth it. Everyone is so friendly we will def be going back (the steak & ale pie is brilliant)

Lovely atmosphere in an olde worlde Pub nice to see log fires on a very cold day in January, we all had the home made meat pie it was excellent and quite a plateful with choice of different potatoes of chips or mash or new potatoes. There were a few people in having meals but not too busy as it was a lunchtime. It is advisable to but at certain times as it could get busy as it is not a very large dinning area. We shall be meeting friends again later on this month.

We live literally around the corner from the ship but have never been in before - why I don't know? My wife's parents and grandparents often frequent the ship for a bar meal and always give it a good word - we happened to be passing on a day off together so thought why not pop in. Very friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar, couldn't fault her service, politeness and customer service one bit! The pub itself is a proper old school pub with church pew seats, a roaring open fire, walls filled with historical pictures and local artefacts - really nice traditional surroundings. Their food menu is a proper pub menu too, nothing fancy just good old pub grub. Generous portions at reasonable prices with a decent selection to boot. We will definitely return and recommend it to others. We didn't even realise it had rooms available too which is handy to know when we have friends and family visiting for out of town it's an alternative to the Kingswood hotel near us.

Went here for a garden party and I really enjoyed myself. The food was very good and the drinks tasty. Well worth considering next time you plan a party in my opinion.

Friendly pub. One barmaid who is very talkative. Went as a party of four. Lunchtime meal took forty five minutes to appear. Barmaid claimed they were very busy but did not see many customers. Food hot and well cooked and tasty on arrival. Standard menu with good size portions, average price £8.00 per meal.

Lovely cozy pub with open fires and a real country feel about it. It has overnight accommodation at the back of the hotel for anyone wanting to stay over. All the meals are lovely but on a Friday they do fish chips peas and bread and butter at a special price and it is lovely.

After passing the ship inn whilst visiting a nearby garden centre we decided to call in for Sunday lunch as we've never visited it before.It has a typical country pub look with parking behind the main building and a grassed area behind the inn too.The interior has an nautical theme throughout which can be expected given the name of the inn.Several interesting pieces of maritime paraphernalia adorn the walls and roof beams; in the main pub part there was a nice open fire, most welcome as the weather outside was cold with rain turning to hailstone.The place seemed popular enough with what seemed a lot of regulars dining.The lady who greeted us was polite but aloof in her manor compared with her interaction with the people we thought were regulars, a small point but noticeable, a friendly manor to all wouldn't hurt.The usual choice for Sunday lunches were on offer with steak and ale pie added to them, was on one blackboard another board had specials upon it and a menu was made available too; so plenty of choice.My partner opted for a roast beef lunch and I chose the steak and ale pie. The Sunday lunch was offered in a large or small serving.The meals were acceptable but nothing outstanding, my partner said the beef was very nice but the veg ( cabbage, carrots and cauliflower) was over cooked and a bit water and I concurred about the veg. My pie was okay, the meat tender enough but the pastry wasn't to my liking being to dry in texture.We decided to try a dessert after our meal and both chose the sponge and custard off the menu which was very nice.Portion size of both meals in our opinion were small compered to other hostelries in the near vicinity however saying that the price is lower then them so arguably this reflects in the pricing.
