The Ship Inn in Stroud

First time visiting here and definitely not the last. Food was incredible, some of the best pub food I have ever eaten. Portions were huge ( never a bad thing! ). Lovely setting right by the canal and a very relaxed atmosphere. Huge car park and plenty of seating inside and outside for a local pub. Staff were very friendly and very attentive, looking forward to visiting again :)

Impromptu visit for pie night, a good decision. Staff friendly and attentive as always. Food was great, I had a special of Prawn Twizzle which was new and really tasty. Two of the group had pie which went down a treat. One had the pork belly OMG it looked good! I has a wagyu burger on the specials .... so nice. Room for pudding and a summer berry at on mess and another had a banoffee waffle. Washed down with a good selection of drinks.. A lovely visit with great food

A lovely family run pub, perfect if you're going for a walk down to the river. Lots of parking on good flat ground. The staff are lovely and they had a good variety of dishes on the menu. I'm also pleased to report that the pies are proper top and bottom pies, none of this slab of puff pastry on top of a stew nonsense here. I had a delicious steak and ale pie. The portions are big (maybe too big, I think they could easily get away with putting less on the plate). The group that I went with thoroughly enjoyed their meal and, as none of them had been before, I heard from several that they will be going back and taking their friends/family with them which is brilliant news. I'm all for supporting the local businesses.

We visited The Ship Inn with family for a birthday Sunday lunch. The location and setting was lovely. A few ordered starters which looked and apparently tasted great. However we waited a long time to then have our mains, which I believe was due to a busy service that day. The roasts were divine, although disappointing that the mains were price at £16.95 each despite online pricing stating £14.50 which we felt was a lot of money for a roast dinner. Unfortunately we ordered cheesecake which was partly frozen and had seemed to ‘curdled’ when it began melting. Staff were lovely however we were just a little disappointed with the pricing and the attention to detail on the desserts.

On a holiday with my two sons and one of their girlfriends and the dog. We came here two nights in a row. The first for drinks and the next for food. All of the staff we met were super lovely and friendly. They made...

28/1/23 my girlfriend and i visited the pub tonight for a meal , we found the food and drinks excellent and had a great night in this lovely pub 👍

Great village pub, good selection of beers and food. The pizzas, Burgers, Fish & Chips and Sunday roasts are particular highlights. Great atmosphere and very welcoming .

Rooms are very good value apart from could have done with a TV, the room was lovely and warm and apart from the TV had everything I needed. I had the Burger in the Bar area and this I would rate 10/10 Theres a nice...

We regularly visit this pub for a Sunday vegetarian roast, and it never disappoints. Definitely one of the best vegetarian roasts about. Great service, friendly staff and homely, tasty food. The portions are extremely generous too.

The staff here are rude and racist . The comments I was hearing made me so angry u had to leave ! Vile

What a hidden gem this place is. Location is beautiful, views looking over the water and plenty of countryside on the other side. We picked it as I was looking for somewhere that would keep my little girl happy whilst us grown ups could also...

Food was amazing, it’s a shame the head chef Jane has now left. Hope the quality of food doesn’t slip.

Great food and service. Nothing too much trouble. Hunters Chicken a pasta dish. Nice Tribute beer and SV wine. Generally will visit again when we are in the area.

Since our first visit we have always been made very welcome and we have never had a bad experience with foo, drinks or service. All the staff are friendly and efficient and always go the extra mile to make your visit special. The meals are...

The food was OK. Steak was well cooked. Had to wait a long time. Pub itself is quite unique but with some tlc could be special. Cushions on chairs were quite stained and just felt the whole place could be cleaner.

As is the norm now on Sunday lunches, large number of young affable staff to help with the influx. Pleasant inside with fresh flowers on all the tables, contemporary and spacious, although tiny access to men”s toilet. Very tasty roast lamb, not over cooked. Above...

We visited today ,had booked for 13.00 table for 3. The decor and atmosphere was lovely and we received warm welcome. We ordered almost immediately we arrived as we knew what we wanted and our son is autistic and doesn’t like waiting. The food arrived...

We go regularly. The location is quiet, the staff are great, as is the food. The food is the usual Cotswold pub suspects, but done much better than most. The stone bake pizzas are always a winner on a summers day in the garden.

Great food, reasonable prices. Staff were really friendly. Great atmosphere and tastefully decorated. Would definitely come back. Even better if weather was warmer as outside area looked great

Both the fish and chips and the sirloin steak were cooked to perfection, and the generous plates were served lovely and hot. The only very slight disappointment was that the cappuccino was very milky, not much coffee taste, but the whole experience was excellent and...

Went without booking - very busy but fitted us in. Lovely, friendly landlady/manager rushed off her feet but keeping it all ticking over. Great Sunday lunch - tiniest of comments by hubby, who had the chicken, was that stuffing with his would have made it...

Staff fantastic Food fabulous Beer great What can I say........Top class pub Love it, Love it, Love it

Excellent food highly recommended will definitely be back soon . Lamb was delicious and a great seke tion of gin.

Great atmosphere and service. A genuine country pub where you can get an excellent pint and a bowl of chips….. or a full meal… outstanding

We live a short drive from this wonderful pub. Since it reopened a couple of years ago we have been for numerous meals and drinks. It stayed open for take away food during Covid and provided a good community service. I have never had any...

Stopped here whilst walking the canal and rivers. Staff were so welcoming and helpful, large outdoor space to sit in and eat. Food was served in good time and delicious. Lovely spot to watch nature on the river and take a break, would love to...

Family meal easily accommodated by the friendly and efficient staff. Such a friendly atmosphere in a lovely setting. We all had food which arrived in good time and was fresh and tasty. Certainly tasted and looked home made and well worth the money. Bar choices...

Excellent service and lovely reasonably priced food in a charming location beside the canal. Plenty of well spaced external seating, some under cover

Went for Sunday roast, food was excellent, staff were very friendly, Landlady was very friendly, easy to engage in conversation. Superb location, will definitely be back. Loyalty card is worth having, just ask one of the staff.

Very nice canalside location, and plenty of tables, inside as well as (covered and not) outside. We were advised to come at 1400 and this certainly worked, as most other customers were nearing the end of their meals. Prompt and efficient service with drinks served...

A family owned traditional pub/restaurant. The service is excellent. Serving staff were attentive, courteous but not over bearing. The food was superb, all cooked to order. Highly recommended.

Visitied couple days ago with a friend, lovely staff/welcome and service I had the fish & chips which was amazing, and my friend had the burger of which I’m pretty sure I’ll go for next time! Lovely place

Walked down the old canal from Saul Junction CP, about 20 mins. Lovely warm welcome from the staff, sat outside (early October in warm sunshine) to have our meal which was very good, sat inside afterwards for drinks. Great Pub, dog friendly, will definitely recommend.

Really nice meal last night with friends,delicious, safe ,great service and excellent value for money

Pub encantador con un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Personal atento donde nada era un problema. La comida estuvo bien. Nuestra lasaña se quemó bastante, pero Aly fue excelente y redujo el costo de una en la factura a pesar de que no preguntamos. Me obsequiaron con una pequeña botella de Prosecco como regalo de cumpleaños, lo cual fue encantador. En general, fue una noche muy agradable en un pub que se toma en serio a covid sin afectar el ambiente.

Comida fabulosa anoche con amigos. La comida era deliciosa, me encantaron las gambas y las patatas fritas y los amigos dijeron que las hamburguesas de pollo eran las mejores. Gran variedad de menú a precios razonables. El personal fue muy servicial, atento y todo con grandes personalidades durante este tiempo de prueba para la industria hotelera. Sin duda lo recomendaría y volvería a visitar

Nos encontramos con este lugar por accidente, mientras caminábamos por el camino del canal desde Saul Junction. Gran cerveza local de Uley Brewery en Dursley, y un menú variado. Cottage Pie era casero, recién hecho y una porción muy generosa. La Sra. T disfrutó de taglietelle con berenjena, tomate y pimientos, servidos con pan de pizza de ajo. Excelente ubicación junto al agua, mucho espacio, personal cordial y buenas medidas de distanciamiento. ¡Podríamos habernos quedado todo el día!

Stayed local for a couple of nights And found this place, great staff, service and nice food, setting is great in the evening sun and dog friendly. Very impressed with the staff and service and well worth a visit.

Hemos comido en este encantador pub y hemos tenido varias comidas para llevar desde el cierre, pero finalmente tuvimos la oportunidad de disfrutar de una deliciosa comida a la hora del té esta noche y ¡fue genial! La elección para nosotros, los que comen carne, fue increíble e incluso se ocuparon de mi compañero vegetariano sin queso, adaptando algo del menú y agregando algunos lados encantadores. ¡Opté por las gambas, un clásico absoluto perfectamente ejecutado en una hermosa vajilla! Mi hijo tenía la pizza de jamón y queso de tamaño adulto (tiene un gran apetito, ¡pero esto le ganó!) ¡Y le encantó! Luego estaban los postres ?? mi crumble de manzana y crema pastelera fue lo mejor que he probado, ni una palabra de mentira, ¡y a mi socio también le encantó su pudín de caramelo pegajoso! !¡Gracias a todos en The Ship por la comida fantástica, el servicio amable (¿son todos tan encantadores?) Y el descuento adicional del 40% en comida y refrescos ¡coronó la noche a la perfección! ! Gracias ? ?

Primera visita a un pub local cercano. Las mesas al lado del canal son una delicia. El local está muy limpio, con buenas medidas Covid en su lugar. El personal es excepcionalmente amable, feliz y atento. La comida era excelente, con un buen menú. Fue tan bueno que inmediatamente reservamos agai para la semana siguiente y no puedo esperar.

Encantadora cena en la posada del barco en un cálido martes por la noche. Sentarse en los bancos junto al canal es un lugar privilegiado para tomar una copa y comer algo. Debido al plan de comer fuera para ayudar, sabíamos que teníamos que reservar y estábamos felices de esperar si había que esperar por la comida. Nos dijeron que sería esperar, pero 20 minutos después llegó nuestra comida y estaba deliciosa. Pato estaba perfectamente preparado y la pizza es para morirse. La pizza estaba cocinada a la perfección a pesar de que estaban completamente llenos y claramente muy ocupados. Gracias a todo el equipo trabajando, todos están haciendo un trabajo fantástico :) ¡sigan así! !

A lovely relaxing visit enjoying excellent food. Had a table outside so ate Sunday lunch while watching the ducks on the water in warm sunshine. Felt very welcome and very safe. Great walk by the canal afterwards.

Cena encantadora con mi esposa, el clima era encantador 24 grados a las 7. 00 pm, así que reservé una mesa afuera. El cebo blanco era encantador, ambos tuvimos el mismo entrante. Plato principal tuve la cerveza bacalao rebozado mi esposa el bistec de solomillo de 8 oz con patatas fritas y guisantes. El bistec estaba medio raro como a ella le gusta. Gran personal y servicio, ambiente cálido. Volveremos.

Gran lugar al que nos topamos con él y comimos los panecillos caseros de jamón y queso y, blt, fue realmente muy agradable 2 días más tarde apareció para tomar una buena pinta 3 días después trató a la otra mitad con una comida de 3 platos la comida y el personal son muy amables y el precio razonable espero volver pronto

The food was gorgeous! a very admirable & quaint pub overlooking the canal to the side. Staff are really friendly. We will be back soon in the future for more fish & chips & tagliatelle x

A lovely meal in a lovely establishment. Food was delicious, the Landlord and Landlady were very nice, and our dog was welcome.

Somewhat off the beaten track but well worth the drive. What a delightful pub, a wonderful welcome from the staff, an excellent Sunday roast and a good choice of ales. We will definitely return.

Gran comida en el barco, nos detuvimos para un almuerzo de domingo para nosotros dos. Teníamos el cordero asado y pescado y papas fritas, claramente cocinado a pedido, con budín de Yorkshire casero. ! Luego tuvimos una tarta de queso y budín de caramelo pegajoso para el desierto que era divino, y de nuevo claramente casero.Servicio amable y acogedor con una fantástica zona de estar al aire libre para volver en verano.

Walked in to find a large gathering of fox hunters getting ready for a hunt! The staff there seemed to enjoy and encourage the hunters! We came out and will never return! Absolutely disgusting and totally unacceptable!

Tuvimos una comida realmente encantadora para 10 de nosotros, incluidos 4 niños, 4 adultos y una pareja de jubilados. A uno de los niños realmente le gustaba el queso macarrones que había probado antes, no estaba en el menú pero estaban felices de prepararlo para ella de todos modos. A pesar de ser domingo y justo antes de Navidad, no queríamos el asado. Los entrantes estaban recién hechos y magníficos: mejillones, queso de cabra, pasteles de filo, morrallas y cosas de filo de faisán, así que no es tu comida normal de pub. También hicieron pan de ajo para los niños, algo que ofrecieron ya que a los niños no les gustaban las otras opciones. La cerveza maltratada pescado bajó muy bien. Porciones realmente grandes, que la mayoría de nosotros no pudimos terminar. Excelente servicio, buena selección de cervezas. Servicio amigable. Hermoso entorno junto al río con espacio al aire libre (para una visita de verano!).

Vine aquí para un almuerzo temprano el domingo con mis padres. Mamá y yo comimos el gravadlax de remolacha como entrante, que estaba delicioso y tenía el tamaño adecuado, mientras que papá tenía el paté de pato con pan crujiente y limpió su plato. Todos teníamos un asado para el plato principal (cordero y pollo) y la carne estaba muy bien preparada, también apreciamos los budines de Yorkshire caseros. Una nota, mi madre ordenó la porción de cordero del tamaño de un niño, pero parecía casi del mismo tamaño que nuestras porciones de adultos, excepto que venía en un plato más pequeño y tenía menos verduras, alguien con poco apetito estaría mejor pidiendo dos entrantes. El servicio fue amable y servicial, nos encantaría volver.

booked the ship inn for 3 nights to go to the Cotswold's on arrival we were shown to our room and she explained about the breakfast which I need to make clear there is no cooked breakfast here only a continental breakfast for us that was fine plenty of tea and coffee and 2 single beds. We had our first night meal in the pub which was outstanding quality and cooked to perfection the mussels I had were beautiful and the steak melted in your mouth the duck pate was very smooth the pub is of the beaten track and if using a sat nav it will take you pass the entrance but its well sign posted plenty of parking on site and well lit if you come back late. If I was to be critical about this venue there are only a couple of suggestions I would make i.e. a loo brush in the bathroom and maybe a couple of labels on the switches that operate the heated towel rail and the extractor fan rather than spending time finding out what switches do what but overall the owners are very friendly as well as are the staff prices are very reasonable and anything you ask is dealt with the upmost professionalism the décor is fresh after just being renovated room is serviced every day with clean china cutlery and milk would easily come back to this place

We had a really nice evening here, staff and service exceptional and the food was superb - the pub itself was very clean and welcomingWill definitely visit again All of our group loved it - their was nine of us in total and everyone was impressedHighly recommend this local establishment

The menu here is somewhat limited, typical pub food, chips with everything. However, this fish and chips was very good, served piping hot too. The batter was perfect. Probably the most expensive F and C we have ever had though!

After a busy day popped in for Sunday Lunch. A warm welcome from the bat staff and a round of drinks later we ordered our starters and mains. Two of us had the Moules Mussels starter and two shared the camembert. The mussels were the biggest I've had and tasty to boot, a lovely starter with a lovely bread roll ...The camembert was soon polished off.Mains was two Roast Chicken and two pork belly. All came with roast potatoes and a lovely choice of veg and gravy. The chicken was moist and the pork belly had a crispy skin. A couple of desserts later and we we left Happy and full. A village pub in a lovely setting.

We visited on Sunday with the family and had the most amazing food, the roast beef was absolutely beautiful and it is fantastic to see a pub serving chicken as a Sunday roast. The service and staff were lovely and would highly recommend this pub. Will be back

The pub with rooms has been refurbished inside and the outside areas alongside the canal makes for enjoyable surrounding on the warm evening we were there. Good fish and chips with either skinny or fat chips. My wife and I had both and both good. Specials of chicken Kiev and a pasta dish were on the board. Unexpectedly for us the Gloucestershire Morris Dancers arrived and performed and then sat in with us playing , singing songs and playing accordions. An enjoyable evening had by all. Very friendly family run pub.

We went there to eat with another couple and most of the food was really good. My steak (the last rump) was very tough and hard to cut. As I was with friends I decided not to complain. The waitress asked about the meal and I did it was tough but didn't really complain. The next thing I know the person in charge came to my table and immediately offered a replacement, She was very professional and exceptionally nice and offered a replacement. I know sometimes you get a bad steak and cant see inside it. I was so impressed with the attitude from the staff we will be back. The replacement steak was greatSummary - food excellent; customer care exemplaryTotally recommend and we will be back

Recently updated and much improved. We sat outside by the canal as it was very warm and sunny, the inside looked great though. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and efficient. Can recommend the ploughman's and the antipasti platter. The garlic mushrooms we're also very tasty. Can certainly recommend this pub and it's food

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat on a Saturday lunchtime and very friendly staff who were very polite and helpful. Perfect spot on a sunny day to relax 😎

I have walked to this pub on different days at different times on three occasions only to find that it has been closed, really annoying, what is the point of being a publican if you can't be bothered, leave and get someone who wants to run a pub and be a good landlord

Phoned to book dinner, told we done open because we’re not busy. Makes sense I suppose. We went to the coop and cooked a spag bol. What are rural pubs up to, suicide?

Nice little cycle ride to the The Ship Inn Great service great food lovely beer garden Been loads of times and never had a bad pint or food

Reservamos una mesa para 15 el domingo 4 de septiembre a las 1 pm y aunque nos llamó por teléfono para decir que sería un poco más tarde, ya que venían en caballos y carros, nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y sentado en una zona sólo para nosotros. Tuvimos una parrillada y la atención fueron muy generosos. Recomendaríamos este hotel.

Paramos para el almuerzo que casi parecía demasiado para el propietario! Que no era un buen comienzo!

Popped back for lunch after having had just drinks before. Very nice indeed, pleasant service and good food and drink. My wife had the prawn medley and I had a simple ham and mustard sandwich. Nice atmosphere, would recommend.

I was a bit wary to go to the Ship after the last visit which resulted in be losing a tooth, from a concrete roast potato, anyway my wife and I ventured in and where meet by a happy jovial lady,who was confident and knew the menu and beers that where on offer. I ordered the steak, my wife ordered the vegetarian lasagne, well it was 100% improvement on my last visit,we both enjoyed the food and the real ale went down a treat, well done the Ship we will call in again, when the weather improves, give it a go, and I look forward to hearing and seeing your reports of the Ship

The first visit was wonderful however the second was awful !!! the manager prepared the food as the chef was off also the floors could do with a good clean and the manager could be more enthusiastic plus warm white wine at £17 a bottle. It could be a great pub if run better, try the red lion up the road in arlingham it's fantastic.

estar localmente hemos visitado este pub muchas veces a lo largo de los años y hemos visto terratenientes diferentes ir y venir. Nuestra última visita aquí hace más de un año y, aunque la comida era excelente y nos pareció caro comparado con otros bares de la zona.

Called in for lunch after a year. Refurbished inside, friendly staff, good real ale and a reasonable menu. Had the ham and eggs. Very tasty, good size and reasonably priced. Must call again soon.

I had come across this place whilst taking a scenic drive around the quiet back waters of this area before, but finally stopped off for food. I was expecting a bit of a Deliverance moment when we walked in but was quite wrong. The place...

Nice pub with good food. Both food and beer at London prices. The inside bar and restaurant are newly refurbished and look great a nice feel to the place. Staff mostly pleasant and helpful. Outside to the canal is lovely to sit and watch water. Children's play area could do with looking at. But overall a nice place to eat, drink and relax.

A warm welcome at the little pub on the bank of the old Stroud canal. We both chose sausage cassoulet from the light bites lunch menu. Good value at £14 for two and a nice meal. Will return.

Visited twice now and both times excellent! Very tasty well presented food generous portions too! Always daily specials and the main menu is changed regularly.Well worth a visit.m

Visited today with my hubbie and Mum. I had Hake with bean cassoulet, a big helping of fish excellently cooked. The others had roasts which were lovely. My husband thought his lamb roast was the best he had had for ages, praise indeed!Sorbets and crumble for sweet which is baked to order.Good service too - we will return for sure

We visited for dinner with our parents and 3 year old daughter last Saturday. The staff were fantastic with there service and the way they interacted and at times watched out for our daughter allowing us to relax and have a wonderful evening. The food was also top notch. We will definitely be going back.

After visiting the Ship after the Frampton show last year and having a lovely meal,we decided to visit for something to drink and eat,again today, well I thought this public house had turned the corner and would continue to flourish, (I do so want this place to succeed) I can tell you I am bitterly disappointed, the young staff on today where charming, polite, and overly helpful 10/10, the food was brought out look good, vegetables where tasty and hot,meat was so so, (my wife just had vegetables as she didn't want the nut roast ) but roast potatoes where ROCK hard, so much so that I broke a tooth on one off them,I complained to a senior member of staff, I graciously emphasised that we didn't want anything in return for our complaint, as we do truly want the Ship to be successful,but if they weren't aware of problems how could they improve there standard of meals! She said she would tell and show the evidence to the chef, we never heard from her again so paid our bill at left

Went for a family meal over the easter weekend. The pub on entrace looked good with a modern yet warm and welcoming feel so initial thoughts were that it would be good. The reason for choice was that friends had been to their sister pub and said it was really good. To start we were to only table seated as it was very quite, they only had a small menu on due to the easter weekend with 3x starter choices , 5x mains and a couple of steaks we ordered and after nearly and hour were still waiting! Eventually Tue meals came out all bar one! 10 Mims later that one came out. Two which had ordered beef pie got a burnt rock solid crust with little moisture or juice and struggled to eat it, I had a burger which had been burnt to a crisp and was so hard you could tap a nail in with it and the so called bacon on it. What's more when you pay over £10 for a burger you expect a good portion of chips with it, I counted about 8! I sent mine back and was told another would be out momentarily. 35 Mims later it arrived as everyone else had finished and the kids were out playing, it was Raw! To say the least I didn't touch it. Customer service and attitude of the management sucked absolutely no mention of a reduced bill for the burger , nobody asked about deserts to say the least we wouldn't have had any and it took 20 Mins to get condiments to go with the meal. Some serious problems in this place. To top it all off having had to let the kids out to play as they were so bored waiting we found various piles of dog excrement in the garden a big no no for not just hygine but also with it being in a children's play area. Over all the ship inn could easily have a different name!

Three of us had an excellent Sunday meal, roast beef, lamb and venison. The food was cooked to our taste, the portion size perfect and the service excellent. Well done!!

I took my Mother here for a lunchtime treat and we were not disappointed. We both chose the Sirloin Steak and chose different ways of having it. Both were cooked to perfection and they came with the best chips I have had for a long time....... Proper home cut and cooked chips. Now for desert I chose the Lemon Eton Mess from the specials menu and it was the best and most tasty desert I have had, with a homemade curd to top it off. The service was friendly but professional and I would recommend The Ship to anyone reading this. Please do takeaways just for the Eton Mess and thank you for a lovely lunch!!!

Shame my wife and I took a friend for our second visit to the Ship after a brilliant first time, only to be VERY disappointed. The food was to put it mildly poor, dried out steak and kidney pie with over cooked tasteless veg, my wife's burger was not good good with overcooked and dried out cheese and bacon.A real shame as we had really looked forward to our second visit.The kitchen was obviously under pressure with a 17 party booking in the house, and were found wanting.

We had a lovely meal I had lobster bisque followed by steak with all the trimmings and millionaire cheesecake the ambience was great they had a couple of men singing they were very good, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and polite they went out of their way for one of our party as he is very fussy will definitely be going back.

We visited a week ago and the pub was very quiet but that did not detract from a good lunch. We had their chicken caesar salad which was hug and a hearty plate of Ham egg and chips. With drinks the bill came to £21 which represented good value. Definitely a place to visit again and lovely setting next to the River Severn
