The Ship Inn in Teignbridge

Best place I have been comfortable and friendly hope it re-opens soon

Absolutely fantastic meal here last night, 30th Aug 24. We were a table of 8, 4 kids4 adults. I shared a shelfish seafood platter which was incredible so much quality fresh muscles,prawn, welks l. But the lobster was the best bit . All in a delicious garlic butter. Lots there. The other adults had had a steak.and fish and chips and highly rated their meals for it's quality, portion freshnest Kids demolished their mac and cheese. Additionally we had some dessert. The banoffe wasted best I have ever eaten. The service matched the quality of food. Drink choice waas also of a good standard with fantastic variation of wines and some cask ales. Maddy (i think her name was) was tentative, helpful and friendly. Give her a pay rise! The pub it's self is an very old building with so much character, and low beams (no problem for me) We will certainly return when we next in Dawlish area.

Terrible place, run down full of unfriendly staff and patrons. So many other better places locally.

Out of the two pubs in Cockwood, I definitely prefer this one, food is good, ales are well-kept and prices a decent bit cheaper than the other place. OK you're not going to get quite the same sea view as the one next door, but when it's dark and hammering it down with rain, that's not an issue. Beer garden was closed due to weather, but it is very nice when it's open. Plus the fact it has more of a traditional friendly local pub vibe, whilst still serving up good food, whereas next door feels more like it's concentrating on food first, pub vibes second. Also I think the chef at the Ship is more open to 'dish of the day' special menu options according to what's good/seasonal at the markets, vs next door that doesn't seem to change it up so much. It is, however, quite a bit smaller than the other pub so recommend ringing ahead to secure a table if you're planning to eat.

A proper cosy locals' village pub, featured in the Good Pub Guide and Good Beer Guide. Perfect destination to bring our American guests. Great pub grub, log fire and doggy friendly. We arrived on Saturday, just in time as the pub suffered storm damage the following day. Best wishes for a speedy reopening!🇬🇧🇳🇿

Missing a wall. Slight inconvenience.

Fantastic place for lunch today!.. family party of 5..we all had jacket potatoes..4 with brie and mushrooms..one with chilli con carne!.. fantastic value for money.. very well cooked..side salad and home made coleslaw included.. wonderful 😊.. this place is a must if you are in the area 👌👌..the photo of the Ship Inn happened 5 days after we visited (update) 😞

Visited today and there was no roof on the place!

Went with my wife for her birthday and had a great meal. Liver and bacon, and bass. Portions generous and the quality was high. Service was friendly, without being overbearing. Looking forward to our next visit.

Although the soup was nice it came with a measly roll which had been warmed in the microwave. I know this because I had to pay £1.90 for another 2 rolls and watched the young boy put them in said microwave. For £5.95 I expected more than a tiny breakfast roll. It has put me off going again

Had a lovely meal with my middle daughter on Tuesday evening. Sat in the bar as it was busy in restaurant. Had a lovely meal each, I had Rump steak and my daughter gammon. The bread/Roll and oil we had for starter was lovely and warm and delicious. Was a nice and relaxing atmosphere, nothing was too much trouble. Was very nice seeing Tom who I knew from a bar in Dawlish a few years ago behind the Bar, so was nice to catch up. Barbara and daughter Karen B Will go again.

Fantastic food, good prices, and friendly helpful staff. Definitely going back again, and would thoroughly recommend to friends and family (or anyone). Not anything special to really look at from the outside, but very cosy and oldie worldly inside. A date above one fireplace was 1633!

Good food and good service despite being busy

We were staying at a holiday park in Dawlish. Had a busy day and really fancied some decent food. Walked into The Ship at 6.30 pm hoping for a table. Luckily there was one left. The pub was completely full. All had pre booked. We were made to feel very welcome. Had drinks whilst waiting for our food. Special was oxtail stew with veg and mash: delicious! My daughter had the burger, but it was no ordinary burger: piled high with cheese, bacon, gherkins and an onion ring with homemade slaw. My partner had local ham, eggs and chips. The chips were beautifully cooked, no grease just light and crispy. We were amazed at how reasonable the bill was. For that high quality of food. Thoroughly recommend this pub. Unassuming, tucked away in the village, but a real find. Staff were friendly and efficient. My advice would be to book ahead. It was full on a Tuesday evening.

Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable regarding gluten free diet, and offered alternatives. Very large portions.

Good food, good service and well priced.

We called in for a drink and we’re blown away by the pub, it’s like being on the deck of a ship. We decided to go for our last night meal in Dawlish Warren. The atmosphere in the pub is great, staff very attentive and the food was lovely. Would recommend for any fish/seafood lover

Just off the main road thoroughly recommend this pub for excellent range of well cooked pub grub. Good range of ales nice outside seating albeit quite busy whenever we visited recommend booking in advance.

Once again an excellent meal, from starters through to dessert. We have been visiting since 2019 and have nevervbeen disappointed. Highly recommended.

Amazing place beautiful location highly recommend

We had an excellent Sunday dinner there. Three roast dinners excluding drinks was around £45, all of which were delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub, food is really good, great outdoor seating area Good service Dog friendly

Good beer and food. Also a nice location. Just been back. Don't know what's changed, but it was the best steak & ale pie I've had!

The Ship Inn is a beautiful old pub in a beautiful setting. The menu is varied and a specials board. We visited 3 times during our week away. Everything we ordered was beautiful, hot and very tasty. The staff were all lovely and it was always busy with locals and visitors. I would advise booking a table in advance.

The Ship is our choice of eateries in the area, been coming for many years. The service, food and consistency is all that you desire. We had the fish and chips….to die for, absolutely delicious. They have a comprehensive, variable menu to suit all palates. The staff are admirable and the Ship owners should be proud of them. I am a Dawlish resident for the past 26 years and this beats the rest.

Amazing food could not fault the service from the staff atmosphere was good friendly pub.

Nice place friendly staff. On a sunny evening grabbing a bench out front is a good shout.

Lovely pub, lovely food, lovely staff! 5 star what more is there to say? Ate off the specials menu, lovely fish perfectly cooked.

Just gets better and better always friendly staff who give you the time of day and will sort out any issue you might have, tasty food and good portions, with intodays climate value for money prices. Have changed to our favourite from The Smugglers

Beautiful old fashioned pub. Drinks at the bar minimize the waiting time👍they had few alcohol free bottled beer and cider options. Lovely food much better than expected on holidays. I chose from the specials board the hake with chips and the soup, both big portions. We're are heading back there tomorrow again😉 UPDATE:We went back next day and food was just gorgeous, had veggie burger and chicken pot and 2 desserts

Lovely place for a quiet pint or nice seafood

Lovely food staff very Friendly and helpful and at a good price to

Great food here and friendly staff. We really love this pub and visit every time we are in the area. Looking forward to coming back again soon

Really enjoyed this country pub. Excellent service. Well kept Cask ale. Plenty of bar lagers & ciders along with a multitude of bar snacks. We didn't eat as the table booking was full (on a Wednesday evening) so obviously very popular

Haven't eaten there yet, although some friends make it a regular treat. Beer in good condition. It's close to the Exe estuary, so outside tables overlooking the marsh can be very cool in the evening. Inside has plenty of character so it's a popular haunt of locals.

Beautiful setting, beautiful food, excellent service. Will definitely be returning 😃 Stopped here on the off chance, best meal of the holiday. Thank you.

I'm not really sure I can do this pub justice. The food was amazing 👏. The Gammon was the best I've had for a long time. We had 5 evening meals and all were delicious 😋, the two sweets were scrumptious. Prices were very reasonable and the staff very friendly. Would definitely go back 100%

Love this little gem of a pub. Always great cask beer, food was fantastic value and service was prompt.

Cannot fault this pub, top notch food. Friendly staff and excellent service. 👍 Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area !

Enjoyed the food, albeit the service was lacking. Not quick. Notice needs to be taken on people's needs. Slow to act when certain requirements are needed. And not always the right action taken.

Was very pleasantly surprised after a last minute decision to pop in for food on a Friday afternoon. Good food that arrived promptly, large portions, reasonably priced and a good old pub feeling to the place. We will certainly be going back.

Very disappointing. My wife had "Trio of Lamb Chops", great difficulty cutting the meat, very tough and chewy. I had "Pork Cutlets" in a cream and mushroom sauce, a very tasty sauce, but, like the Lamb, the meat was tough and flavourless. Yes, we did mention this to the waitress but nothing, as far as we were aware, was done about it. We have been to this location on several occasions being locals. Must say the service was very good.

We booked lunch for a walking group of 20 people. We had to pre order, but the service when we arrived was excellent and the food was enjoyed by the whole group. Quite an achievement with 20 arriving at the same time. I would thoroughly...

Have good food and see good friends. Barman Tom is lovely, Rob and Charlotte are very good. Cosy and comfy. Easy parking and a proper traditional gaff. Locals are fevers friendly, especially on a Friday when I go.

Lovely quanit pub very traditional, friendly staff, well worth a visit

Great food,all fresh,nice staff,great if the sun's out too

Disappointed with the food, meat in pie chewy and fatty, other meals nondescript. When this was mentioned there was no interest from the staff. Very sad as had been recommended for the pies and it’s food

Beautiful pub the food was excellent

Amazing views, the food was amazing, as was the service.

We have been to this lovely pub about 4 times in the month of June and been coming here for years. Never disappointed, always delicious food and friendly staff. Such a beautiful outlook from the beer garden. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. I have...

Enjoyed the beer and outside seating

Great pub with good food. A pub that actually cares and work hard.

Lovely atmospheric pub. Friendly helpful staff. Great food.

Excellent value for money, especially the Sunday lunch, which was delicious..

Great pub in lovely location and food top notch

Had a lovely lunch on the upper terrace with the view of the tiny marina! Bliss definitely recommend it. The service and speed of service was excellent.

Traveled far and wide in my campervan best pub ever had. Always look forward to this jem,easy stroll down from cofton holiday park

Nice pub for seafood and Sunday lunch

A very nice pub with good food and great beers. Add the really friendly staff and the good prices for delicious food, excellent!

We had a fantastic week in Cockwood and the Ship Inn was a cosy mainstay. It is a traditional pub/restaurant frequented by the locals ,who are friendly and welcoming, as well as us tourists. The food is fabulous and the staff are friendly and professional....

Great little pub with a good selection of beers and food. Worth a visit.

Lovely staff and beautiful food

Good food and selection of drinks, much better service than a while ago. Great atmosphere.

Went there yesterday with friends for my birthday . Food and drinks were lovely and reasonably priced . All the staff made us feel so welcome and honestly couldn’t do enough for us . Will definitely go back . Thankyou

Very good meal,good offer on pies on Thursday night. Good atmosphere and made welcome.

Lovely food great service will go again soon

Great atmosphere excellent food well priced.

Amazingly friendly place the bar manager was so nice and met some nice people (locals) to chit chat to. Very welcoming

This place is a little gem the food is absolutely delicious the staff are very friendly and it’s dog friendly it’s a must to visit if in cockwood

Lovely little pub great beer and food

Visited this place last might as we were staying at the campsite nearby . Straight away we were shown to our table and by a lovely young man who was to be our waiter. The meals were so hot and beautifully presented. About a 15-20...

We called in for Sunday lunch after cycling from Exeter - excellent- and good value for money. Great staff too..

Have always loved the ship, but this time, it wasn't up to the usual standard,, waitress tried her very best, she wasn't the problem. The food was ordinary, asked for medium rare steak, overcooked, very tough, very grisly. Maybe supplier is not doing them justice?...

Had lunch on Sunday after cycling there, nice Ploughman's and the Potatoe and Black pudding starter was a good size and tasty. Good service and traditional old pub.

Lovely friendly pub, spent some very wonderful evenings there. Food was fantastic. Can't wait to go back.

Great food and friendly staff.

Excellent food, nice atmosphere.

Had lunch at The Ship today, lovely little pub and the food was really delicious. Our waitress was very good, friendly and very hardworking, the young barman was also very friendly, enjoyed it so much that we're returning tomorrow evening!

So impressed when WE came and had a meal, that we brought our friends from Bridgwater last weekend to show you off 😁😁

Treated our friends to lunch after having tried the Ship Inn food ourselves and were well impressed last week. Result ?...... WELL impressed AGAIN.nomnomnom. helpful staff and wonderful food at a reasonable price. Thank you 😋😋

The food I must say was to die for well presented and excellent value certainly can't wait to go back when we go to croft farm campsite cheers Gary Lockhart

Went on Good Friday afternoon. The barman who is clearly a graduate of the Basil Fawlty School of Hospitality. Miserable, blunt to the point of rudeness with all customers, not just us, it was as if our presence there was a massive inconvenience to him....

Have eaten here several times over the past few years food and drinks always very good. Last visit let down by slightly disinterested staff,who we had to ask to first take our order and then to order desert as they were more interested in each other than the customers.

Lovely friendly pub, we sat outside in the lovely off road garden, we were so pleased to see a couple of well thought out vegan options, tasted good, freshly cooked and the cost of the meals and drinks were very reasonable,

Excellent country pub whilst staying at cofton went there 3 times and had a meal each time excellent but need to book so you won't be waiting 😉 very friendly staff also which is always a bonus 😀

Very comfortable pub/restaurant. Excellent food

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Nice food. Will definitely visit again soon

We ate at the Ship two nights while staying in Cockwood. We were met with a warm welcome, good choice of real ales and a cosy atmosphere. The menu is varied and interesting, and the food and staff were great. Bit of a wait on...

Lovely village pub, great Sunday lunches. A great alternative to the Anchor Inn. Really welcoming staff, top service.

Food good, though prices varied between Internet and in house! Service bit slow. Staff good and helpful. Despite being near fire pub was bit chilly.

The food was okay but the welcome and ambience was really not good . I don’t mean to be negative because it’s a beautiful setting and could be amazing. To watch the member of staff wipe off the starter from the black board on a...

We went to The Ship Inn for a meal and the food was good but the service was very poor! The lady at the bar was brilliant but the waiting staff spent more time gossiping and hiding in the kitchen on their phones than serving customers. (the pub was not busy at this point) We seemed to have been forgotten about when the main finished and we were never offered a menu for desserts. In the end we decided to leave it and just pay for our starter / main and drinks. The pub is very nice but the staff definitely need more training on customer service.

We have been to this pub many times .We think it has new owners .The beer is really well looked after. We had the steak pie, which was very tasty with veg . We will visit again when we are close by .

Dropped in for lunch after a lovely beach walk on the Warren. Slightly dated surroundings, but more than made up for this with a very well kept pint of Dartmoor Jail Ale. And the food was delicious and obviously cooked with some care and attention....

Good pints. Fair price. Well served.

Great beer and good food . Friendly staff and good service. This is the pub in Cockwood that locals like ourselves frequent.

We have visited now on numerous occasions whilst staying locally and have never been disappointed. You receive a warm welcome at any time of the day whether for drinks or food and it really does have a warm and friendly atmosphere. We have eaten in...

We ate twice here during our new year stay. It's a real highlight for me and the food was amazing again. We will be back later in the year and will 100% 're visit.

Quite full on a wintry Friday, even so the food was good and the service swift. Relaxed atmosphere meant we weren't hurried. Great!

Fatastic little pub lovely food and staff
