The Ship Inn in Gravesham

Visited the Ship Inn 11th April first time for a number of years for lunch, ordered Lasagne which came with a side salad, Lasagne was okay but the salad we didn't touch. This was the first lunch order served at 12 and the salad looked as it had been left from the night before. Other issues eating outside is a communal cutlery container where the cutlery is placed handle down in it, so people are touching the knife blades and forks when helping there selves, we witnessed customers returning cutlery to this pot after taking to many. Also opened sauce containers left outside in this area in bright sunshine for customers use. The other big issue for us is if you choose to eat outside in the designated fenced area for dining you will suffer people smoking whilst you are eating

Nice pub with friendly staff. Will try the food next time

Was only looking for a convenient place to have a quick drink and meal on my way home from work, but this turned out to exceed expectations. Really nice modernised old style pub inside, not too loud or busy, perfect for a catch up with a friend, great burger meal, normally priced, and friendly staff. Good enough that I will be coming again for the same experience.

Rude and over worked staff. Completely ignored waiting for a table. After 10 minutes we sat down at a table. My baby was getting heavy holding him. Only to be asked if we have booked a table. Lots of free tables in the restaurant didn't see an issue. The tables wasn't taken whilst we had been in the pub. Then moved to the bar area as we hadn't booked. Had to get my own baby high chair whilst carrying my baby. The young blonde girl had absolutely no customer service skills.

I went last Friday and had a wonderful experience with good food at great prices, and excellent service from the lovely lady serving. Unfortunately I went again today and had a very different experience. The bar lady serving us was very abrupt and clearly in a rush to get home and finish her shift. She told us we needed to sit in the bar even though there were plenty of tables and other people sitting in the restaurant. She left me waiting at the bar for ages (the only customer waiting at the bar) while she collected glasses and plates and walked back and fro from the kitchen, and got irritated with me when i didn’t know what sauces and extras my husband wanted with his steak and nipped back quickly to ask him, leaving me waiting at the bar once again whilst she busied herself clearing more tables and returning to the kitchen. She wouldn’t let me remove the peppercorn sauce from the order because she “had already put it through”. All in all, her manner spoilt the experience for me somewhat.

Really tasty food. Excellent service. Don’t know how you do this for the price. What a lovely country pub.

Great pub in Cobham. Would advise to book on a weekend if wanting food.

Visited shortly after opening Thursday afternoon. Service very slow. Had to ask again for drinks after waiting 30 minutes. Starters took another 30 minutes which was missing the pesto to go with it, mains then another long wait and was average, steak was very gristly and not the best

excellent night with a lovely steak 😋

The staff are extremely friendly and the food is really good, I highly recommend

Poor communication for Deaf people and a long wait for service—almost an hour. A complete waste of time, and I received the wrong order: a mocha instead of a macchiato

Dog friendly, great atmosphere.

Great food, decent pint and excellent decor. Will visit again.

Went out for my husband birthday. Food cold amd Sunday roast was very poor lamb shank was tough and hardly any veg .. when said it was cold and they took it away .. tasted like they put it in the microwave and added some hot veg.. never have a problem and always so good .. service was poor and seemed to be forgotten about !! Staff was miserable !!! Very disappointed !! Wasn't that busy either 😕

I have an allergy I asked twice if it was gluten free they said yes but it was not I was so ill when I got home then need to be more careful. Went back for my Dad's birthday much better

Eaten here a couple of times, up till today it’s been ok, staff was friendly but clearly over stretched, today my Sunday lunch looked like it had been thrown on to the plate from 50ft away, frozen veg & lack of meat was very disappointing. I like to support local businesses, but won’t be returning here for food

Booked a Sunday roast for five people. We waited almost an hour for our food. When it did arrive it was quite awful. We complained, but still paid in full (£78.00) Not much point in apologising afterwards. If you want customers, save your apologies and get it right to begin with!

Popped in after a walk in the local area. Service was ok, could be better though maybe. Was left standing at the bar with no smile, no welcome, no "be with you in a minute" ..... follow up service was good though, so could easily be better or improved. Menu price mentioned a deal from £8.99 but the price is paid was way more than that, and it was not explained at the till, again a lack of customer service at that point. Food took a while, but it was a little busy. Food was OK, lacked sauce, fries were nice but not exactly as described. It's nice inside. Plenty of space in the car park, but has a few big potholes.

Poor service, no staff, big que at bar, food inedible, unfortunately gave this pub a second chance, not good staff chatting in kitchen whilst punters waiting to be served, food, cold.

Nice country pub with a reasonable beer selection and food menu good for a light lunch

Well I take my hat off to the two ladies who were front of house and not forgetting the kitchen too. The service was friendly and prompt. I arrived just after 12.00 but the normal 12.45 - 13.00 rush insued. Most of whom had not booked and wanted to be sat at a table yesterday!! But Ashlea and her team mate( sorry I did not catch your name). Delt with the rush very efficiently and professionally. I had the belly pork starter which was well presented and tasty. Followed by the rump steak ciabatta with chunky chips. I asked for the rump to be rare which it was and cooked perfectly, but the meat was rather tough. I should have gone for medium, which would have helped I'm sure. But the steak quality was not very good hence the 4/5 mark. I finished off with an Americano and mini brown. I will definitely be returning. Ps if people could just take a couple of minutes to call and make reservations, business could then staff accordingly Happy dining

We visited yesterday for a meal after a long walk as a group of 6 with a dog. The staff were so accommodating and friendly and I cannot fault the service. The food was all good, everyone was happy with their meals (we all ordered differently) and wouldn’t hesitate to come back ! Thank you

We often visit the ship . We always find the staff Friendly and helpful especially Bal. Would not hesitate to recommend the place.

I found this delightful village pub from a recommendation. I was not disappointed. Even at busy times the staff are so efficient and apologise for the slightest delay in attending you. I have dined here once from 3 visits and have to applaud the quality, presentation and quantity of the food I was served. 5 stars all round

Staff are very hard working and an asset to the owners.The food is nice and very good value, and I must also mention Bal, who has always been very friendly, welcoming and accomodating when we visit. Thank you

Popped in for some lunch with our dog midway on our 10 mile walk. Lovely lunch, lovely atmosphere, we'll be back.

We booked tables to cater for a small family gathering to celebrate my sons 16th Birthday. The staff were very welcoming and service was fantastic. The setting is cosy and clean with an open log fire keeping the location nice and warm. Everyone enjoyed their meals which were served hot and to perfection. Fantastic customer satisfaction. Highly recommend. We will be returning, happy customers all round.

Myself and my daughter have just come back from The Ship at Cobham. We had a lovely warm greeting when we entered the pub. Two ladies behind the bar young lady with dark hair and the other lady was called Bal. Both ladies friendly and helpful. We ordered drinks, one starter with the mains and one dessert. All were fab. Have been here a few times and will definitely be going back. Bal chatted to us at the end. There was also a man who cleared our plates and asked if we wanted desserts. Friendly pub with great food. Worth a visit and even better that I used my blue light discount.

Dog friendly pub with a good selection of food to suit most people. Child menu standard. Even a pensioner menu offering a reduced sized plate at a reduced price. Fair selection of beers. Pub is airy and comfortable. Toilets Are clean and tidy.

Well where do i start i give 10/10 for cleanness polite staff they went out there way make something that not on the menu was amazing starter and food. The staff was all frendly polite chef was good he made best food i been few time but thia was best. I vist on 12/01/2015

Good food and drink with very reasonable prices. Lovely staff and cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back 😊

After visiting today to give the pub one last try after numerous chances to improve on the poor customer service we have previously experienced, this was very disappointing yet again. My partner and I went in for lunch, no welcome on arrival, after looking at the menu in full view of the waitress, my partner went to the bar to order food when he was rudely told it was a 45 minute wait as they were ‘very busy’ with out waiting for our response if we were going to order the member of staff walked off with no apology. This isn’t the first time we have received rude and unwelcoming behaviour from the same lady (long dark brown hair female)

Had to wait 60 mins for 2 sandwiches. Wasn’t told before ordering that they only have one cook and she was also preparing a 50 person buffet as well as lunch orders on her own for later in the day. Brown haired lady behind bar was not apologetic about delay and looked annoyed that I had asked where the food was.

First time we have dined out on Christmas Day for 30 years. We chose The Ship as, as a family, we visit it on a regular basis. We were not disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They made us feel like family. Food was excellent, varied Christmas menu and ample portions. Compliments to the chef and a big thank to Lottie, Michelle and the rest of the team.

Had Christmas Day lunch here and it was lovely. Food very good, staff absolutely wonderful, very welcoming. We had a table by a lovely wood burning fire which was so comforting. Nothing was too much effort. Thank you Lottie and staff for a memorable Christmas day lunch. See you in the new year.

There were 9 of us for Christmas day dinner and they couldn't do enough. The staff were absolutely amazing and the food was spot on. My first experience of Christmas dinner out and it was great. Thoroughly recommend it, as we will be back, not only throughout the year, but also next Christmas.

Haven’t been for a few months as the food was really bad but on our visit this week I was really good. Nicely presented and very friendly staff. We will definitely be going again.

Service good. Soup luke warm I was expecting red meat but couldn’t get a knife through it- and why you put cauliflower cheese and stuffing with roast beef l have no idea!! And apparently you don’t have horseradish sauce!…..this is a staple with beef It will be a long time before l visit again sadly as we were highly recommended🤔

Popped in with family to this venue really quaint. It’s a clean and friendly place. It was very busy but did not feel rushed. The food was good with lots of choice, the service was exceptional. Our waitress Bal was amazing. She was very attentive and welcoming and was checking to she if we needed anything throughout our stay. She deserves 10 out of 10..

Wonderful pub atmosphere, roaring fire, met with a friendly welcome, very good selection of drinks, Wonderful food.

Lovely pub, which was found on Web search. Shame we were put in the snug area, which felt it was the overflow area as booked many weeks ago, but it was a nice meal with friends overall.

Pub was very festive , we were made to feel welcome. The food and service was excellent will visit again

Visited as a group of 7 for the festive menu. Unfortunately, it wasn't great. The menu choices were made in advance via the website. However, on the night, one of the starters was wrong, and one of the mains was wrong, although the chef did rectify the main. 2 guests didn't order desserts. However, 6 desserts was brought to the table. The starters were OK. The desserts were OK, the mains were cold, and the Brussels were like bullets. On the up side, the serving staff were great, very friendly, and accommodating. I add that We have eaten here previously without any issues.

Unable to book online for ages, yet when I turn up they claim to be fully booked.

It is a lovely place but the service was not good on the day it might be short of staff on the day.

Popped in for an impromtu lunch.....lovely! Nice food and atmosphere.

The soup was barely hot - just warm and the surf and turf - well the prawns were over cooked and chewey and the steak overcooked as well , grisly and tough - the third bad steak I’ve had there . Staff were ok but one very surly and poker faced . Chips were reheated and onion rings tough and stale . There is a need to step up the game here as it very average . Coffee was ok and cheesecake ok . Location and parking are good and prices acceptable IF the food was better .

Lovely place to eat and drink. Food was amazing. Will definitely be back again. 10 out of 10.

I've never been to a pub on a Friday lunch time that has no ale on tap. There were 2 staff behind the bar working flat out, so with that in mind the food service was slow. I can't blame the staff, but the landlord/lady should know better. The food that eventually came and was ok. They were having a beer delivery when I arrived, but ale takes time to stand before serving. All in a bad experience.

Excellent lunch at the ship inn 5 star.

A coke and diet coke cost £8... you figure...

Booked elsewhere but were found a table and moved when my partner was cold. Great atmosphere, lovely food and outstanding service from Bal. Well worth a visit

Great place to go for food and drink

Please LISTEN to this review and stay clear! For your own sakes! Myself and my family decided on coming to this pub as we love Cobham and fancied trying out somewhere new for a roast dinner and to take my mother in law out for her birthday. We sat down and ordered our drinks and food. Before the food arrived we finished our first round of drinks and was then told over half an hour later there was no beef on the menu. It took an hour for the food to arrive only to be met with child like portions, the cauliflower cheese was 1 cauliflower and no cheese, carrots rock hard, roast potatoes were like old frozen potatoes that had been in the freezer years and to our distugst my brother in law picked up a potato and squeezed it with his fingers, much like rinsing a wet cloth (and I mean loads) of water come out the potatoes. We looked at the rest of them and they were frozen in the middle. We were missing Yorkshire puddings so I asked when they would be coming out but we were told they had ran out! To compensate we asked for some extra pigs in blankets. Although once trying the dinner as I was very hungry I regrettably bite into a pig in blanket to find the sausage was completely RAW in the middle. These are just a few of the things that were bad, believe me there was much more. By this time I’d had enough and asked to speak to the manager. After showing her what we’d experienced, I explained I was not happy to pay for any food just our drink. No sincere apology was given and how the staff thought serving this food was acceptable is beyond me. Iv never in my life experienced such awful food or had to walk out of a meal which was extremely disappointing! For a green king I would have expected better!!! My worst food experience ever. If I could rate less I would.

Don’t come here! Allowed us to order, when food arrived no Yorkshire puddings as they had ran out, ran out of eggs and flour? Really? Laughable! Waited an hour to be told they are running low! Walked out before eating! Would never return! Rude staff when called out about poor service. Care more about the £ note than customer satisfaction.

Terrible service. Told 30 minute wait for food, no word from the bar staff for an hour, then told food is coming, 15 minute wait, then told a problem with the gas in the kitchen and food would be 5 minutes. Cancelled the order and then had a very miserable barmaid take my money for the drinks we had. Customer service was non-existent. Rude staff.

Great location, as a family we eat there on ocassion, for the price the food is good. Staff are friendly and the pub is dog friendly. The only issue I have is short measures take a look at my photo. Yes you can ask for a top up but why should I. So sorry I am going to boycott the place. At over £6 a pint I want a full pint.

I’d like to review the food in this pub but out of the 4 visits we’ve had we’ve not been able to order any food due to staff shortages. This has been the case for 2 years now. Today the table next to us had food but we were told the kitchen was closed. I refuse to ever try here again. Waste of time.

They took very long to make an aperol spritz!

I gave The Ship Inn four stars about two years ago, and we’ve returned a few times since. It is a lovely pub with a decent Greene King menu and the staff have always been pleasant. The wait to take your order and get the food was longer than usual, although the pub was not noticeably busy. We ordered and got our food about an hour after arriving. There were two issues. No lemon to squeeze on the calamari’s, which the server forgot a second time, and I mentioned that I’d asked for chips rather than fries with my meal. I didn’t want to wait any longer, so I said I was happy to keep the fries. Without hesitation the server mentioned that this was because they had ran out of chips and apologised. Fair enough I thought. However, I then overheard the table next to us order dishes with chips and even asked to confirm they were fat chips. Their different server didn’t mention anything about the chips not being available. Sure enough, when their order arrived proper fat chips a plenty on each plate! Mistakes happen, and occasional poor service happens, but I draw the line and being LIED TO. I am furious. Good customer service should make up for any mistake, but it never needs to involve LYING. We will never return to this pub, which is a shame, because we rather liked it.

Disappointed every time I go in. I leave it a couple of years try again and disappointed all over again

Really sad. Been here many times, but today was pitiful. Ignored while waiting at the bar, ordered food and a kids roast. It was awful. Served up what was clearly frozen veg and a potato that I wanted to adopt and take home because it looked so miserable. Staff were moaning about the number of diners, no turkey and generally a miserable experience . Not what it was. UPDATE** Review was replied to and apology received and gesture offered. I responded and never heard another thing. Maybe it was added just to give the impression that it matters???

Weren't serving food just gone 7. Shame.

Lovely country pub. Dogs welcome. Food was delicious and a reasonable price. Bal was our server and was super friendly and kind, and did a lot for us! Thank u Bal! Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

There were problems with staff illness this night. But the two ladies out the front kept the ship going! Its a pub, but the food (chicken schnitzel for me) was delicious.

Booked a table for 2pm, arrived at 1.45pm and was shown to a table in the restaurant. As son has a nut allergy was told the waitress would go & find the allergy folder but she never came back. After waiting for 45 minutes still no member of staff had been to the table. No explanation or apology for the delay. We finally went to the bar & had to order & collect our own drink. Whilst still waiting at the table, the group next to us sent back their roast dinners when they finally arrived & when they returned the dinners, were told if they wanted roast potatoes it would be another 30 minutes. Customers said the cauliflour cheese was hard & rest of food was cold. They were given a refund & left. We were still waiting to be served. In the end we gave up waiting. As there were 2+ large parties in the restaurant 30+ diners, who were there before us still waiting for food. We left having only had 3 drinks which we ordered at the bar & collected ourselves. When I went to the bar to say we were leaving there were 5 staff behind the bar & no customers. There was no apology for the wait or us leaving hungry. This was our first visit to this pub & we will not be returning. If you cannot cater for a full restaurant you should not take the bookings.

For some reason we really like it here and keep coming back. The food is perfect or absolutely terrible. Massively understaffed, more than 12 people dining then you start to worry.

We were served by SHANA. Very happy experience she was pleasant and made sure everything was gluten-free. We will be coming back.

Had a great night staff were lovely thanks

Slightly under staffed but worth the wait when the meals arrived. Although it was very busy, the staff were so pleasant and helpful. We will definitely visit again. Thank you to you all. Dave & Sheila

Great service great food Claire that was serving us was super friendly a wonderful waitress and great with the kids will definitely come back.

This pub/restaurant was recommended to us. When we arrived there seemed to be some sort of event going on with classic British and American cars and bikes in the car park. There was some delay in being served (we think that they had not engaged sufficient staff to cope with the demand). We booked in advance, there were 6 in our party and despite the restaurant being empty we were seated by the staff on the route to the Ladies toilet (a constant procession). From our party we ordered 4 Lamb Shanks and two other meals The two other meals and three of the lamb shanks appeared to be fine, but one Lamb Shank was still frozen, with hot gravy poured over it. When this was pointed out the staff were very apologetic offering not to charge for the main course, starter and dessert for the individual who received the frozen food. WE decided we would not return.

Stopped for a celebratory meal after my son's graduation and waited over an hour for two burgers and a halloumi wrap which when arrived was overcooked and unimpressive,not once were we informed about the wait or asked how the food was at any stage even when paying the bill , didn't want to embarrass our server or myself so paid and left ,never to return again .Keep driving and go to the next pub !

Excellent value pensioners special with a delicious apple & blackberry crumble with either ice-cream or lashings of custard.

Celebrated my husband's birthday and staff made us all feel welcome and were very accommodating. The food was good and staff were very attentive to our 5 year old granddaughter. Good atmosphere, clean and nice decor. We look forward to dining here again.

Our party of 4 enjoyed lovely food in our favourite venue yesterday and great to find it back on track after a disappointing meal earlier in the year. Hot, freshly cooked, well presented and served, as always, by welcoming staff. A deserving complement to the pretty, historic village of Cobham. Looking forward to our next visit.

Staff are lovely and the food is excellent. Love the atmosphere with pub being busy. Plus lovely garden in front for the weather is good.

My husband and I were staying down the road and had dinner here on a Thursday night. The food was excellent - but more importantly the staff and locals were wonderful. We met an adorable "Good Boy" - a golden retriever named Finlay, dining with his family next to us. I would come here often if I lived here!

Food could have been cooked warmer so much was being sent back to the kitchen to be reheated. My steak was overcooked. We will return to see if they can do better.

My local pub 20 years ago when I lived in the village. Large car park, so you shouldn't have difficulty finding a space. I went on a Wednesday lunchtime and couldn't find an inside seat, so pre-booking a table recommended. I had difficulty finding something suitable for diabetics but ended up with chicken strips & spicy dip from the starters. Outside seating some with umbrellas. Limited real ale. A pleasant pub and worth a visit. Lovely village setting.

First time at this venue and we had booked a table. We were greeted with a smile by Claire and she took us to our table. Charming old world pub surroundings and plenty of diners. We ordered a starter to share, followed by two mains. We had drinks. The food was exceptionally good and the chef did a fine job getting my steak perfectly Medium Rare. During this time Claire attended us and further drink brought to table. We can only praise hard working Claire who definitely made our visit special. This was our first visit but definitely not our last...well be back soon with friends!

Popped in for a few beers while in the area. Pub could do with a lick of paint outside and why wouldn't you have the football on at the moment? Must be losing punters to other pubs nearby because the TV is broken. Id be getting that fixed ASAP. But the bar staff are excellent and do a fantastic job even though they always look short staffed but that's no there fault. I think it was Abbie that was serving me and she deserves a lot of credit. ill be back.

We frequent the ship regularly for a Sunday roast…… and today 30th June, we had a very tasty roast beef dinner, fresh (not frozen) vegetables, huge homemade Yorkshire puds and beef was cooked to perfection, pink and tender. Best roast we’ve eaten out in a long while ( and we’ve eaten out at a lot of pubs for Sunday roast and been charged fine dining prices for very naff food…. One pub in particular just down the road from the ship!) Staff are so friendly and create a great atmosphere. Great value too. Thank you 🤩

Had a lovely meal here and was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. All my family enjoyed their dinners and the cosy little pub was exactly the vibe we wanted. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient.

Been using this lovely pub for about 7 years but recently we have taken family and friends there. Everyone has said how friendly they are and how good the meals are. We have done Christmas and birthday celebrations and they always pull out all the stops to ensure we have a good meal and enjoy ourselves. We often are served by Michelle and her daughters, Shana & Kelsey and they have always made us feel welcome. We would highly recommend this venue to everyone.

Went during lunch time so very quiet in pub although quite a few outside as nice day. Excellent choice of food & was delicious when it arrived. Good value for money. We did have to wait a while & then had to chase to pay the bill. Was chaotic in the car park when we left as school just letting out so parents parking/blocking car park but will go there again.

Went for father's day lunch. Arrived early in the service about 12.15. Had booked a table and seated quickly. Told by the waiting staff that there were quite a few items not on the menu- new potatoes, mash, halloumi and onion rings. Was not shown the specials menu- would have changed what was ordered by the table. During ordering the waitress asked us to wait a minute mid order whilst dealing with another issue. The food arrived quickly and was tasty. Looking a bit tired around the edges in terms of decor. Staff were polite and very friendly, and welcomed all the fathers at the tables.

Went with a friend on 3 year anniversary of wifes passing as it was the first pub we went too officially as a couple. Nicely tucked away in Cobham village, Kent. Pub very clean and good friendly service. Unfortunately it was spoiled by a large group of youngsters shouting, swearing and generally being a pain, reminiscing about the fight they had with each other at a night club the weekend before. Continuously take they sporty hatchbacks as fast as they could out of the car park, a pure accident waiting to happen. We could have moved inside but it was a pleasant evening so why should we. I did feel sorry for the pub as overall it was lovely but I feel they behaviour could tarnish it which would be a massive shame. We will go back to try again as the food looked lovely and except for the few was a good atmosphere

Myself my partner and 2 other couples have attempted to visit this pub this evening. As we were walking from our cars to the entrance to the pub we noticed a bar tender come from behind the bar and lock the front door. At the same time as other patrons were ordering at the bar and having their drinks made. After standing at the door for a few moments and being ignored by the staff inside we walked back to our cars. As we drove off we noticed that the bar tender came to the door seemingly smiling and unlocked the door for new customers to come inside. We are aware that the pub closes at 11pm as we have been here many times before. It was absolutely atrocious customer service from the staff working. I felt like we were discriminated against because we look young, despite us just wanting to enjoy a quick drink.

A group of us (3 couples all local) were about to walk in at about 10pm, the bartender walked to the door and locked us out, with people at the bar still ordering. They didn’t even look at us so we left. As we were driving away they were laughing and unlocked the door for other new customers. Absolutely appalling as we have been there dozens of times. No one should be locked out of a pub because they look younger than 30.

Well, where do I start?! This is a complete gem of a pub! ❤️ My friend and I had driven down from South London to where I grew up to attend to some business, and I remembered visiting a pub in Cobham, so we drove to Cobham, but were disappointed with the pub I remembered. We decided that The Ship Inn looked nice, so we opted to go there instead. Well, it was perfect! Lottie, the wonderful bar lady showed us to our seats, and she intuitively recognised that my friend, who has mobility problems, needed a comfortable and soft seat, so she suggested that we sat in the comfy seats in the main bar area rather than the restaurant seats. She assured us that we’d still get waitress service, which we did. This was such a lovely gesture and showed insight, compassion and care, which we both appreciated. The food was delicious! My friend had a sirloin steak cooked to perfection and I had risotto, which I have to say, was the best I’ve ever had. Lottie was attentive, warm and friendly and a lovely genuine person. She explained that the coffee machine had given up after 25 years’ dedicated and devoted service, so we couldn’t have coffee or tea, but she was in the process of doing her best to get a new machine. We fully support her in her campaign. 👏🏻 Lottie explained to us that she is a ‘woman on a mission’ for the sake of her pub, and it shows in her high standards of care and quality service. The pub is clean and comfortable and the food and drinks are excellent. Our compliments to the chef! My friend and I left feeling that we’d had a fantastic dining experience in this gorgeous quaint and historic pub. Lottie is an asset to the pub and the management company. We look forward to returning when we are in the area again. Thank you so much Lottie - you’re brilliant! 🥰

We chanced upon this pub while walking the Darnley Trail. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was tasty, fresh, and good value as we had a lunch time meal deal.

Really nice location and interior of pub was cosy. Unfortunately that’s where the positives stop. Our food was way over 1 hour from time of ordering. It arrived and two out of four of the meals were stone cold. The Yorkshire pud on our roast were cremated and inedible My daughter’s pizza was a microwaved frozen Chicago town pizza… No one came to ask if we were ok, if we needed more drinks not even to apologise the food was late and then cold. Won’t be visiting again.

Had to wait 45 minutes for food, was not pleased

Worst Sunday lunch. Waited nearly 2 hours, arrived cold. Supposed to be Turkey but was Chicken. No apologies or offer of a free drink. 2 children with us, very hungry. Toilets blocked up. Never again.

Seemed nice enough, barely any music just had to listen to people's conversations and knives on plates, was told there's no turkey but we have beef, no problem, wait 10mins to have our order taken to be told that wasn't true they have no roasts, bit poor service check with the kitchen before you tell false information

Very dog friendly pub. Food is normally good. Can get really busy at times,

A pleasant enough place, but too much of a small village atmosphere

Had a lovely late lunch on a Saturday afternoon, first visit to the Ship. We had plans to eat in a nearby venue but was let down by their menu so found ourselves at The Ship (and were quite glad). Very friendly service from all of the ladies on shift today, helpful and chatty which added to the atmosphere. Food was delicious, katsu curry would be a particular recommendation, and was served quickly. Is a nice comfortable venue and would happily return.

Nice country pub just off the A2, Cobham. Has Green King beer, and is dog friendly. Has a good Pub food menu on offer Good size car park and near to Jeskins Park.
