Lovely food. A few issues with ordering (seems a bit cumbersome) and delivery of food. We were a large table of 18 and all of the extras that were ordered were put down the one end of the table meaning we had to order more as the other end of the table thought the portions were just for them. The Sunday lunch was lovely though. Amazing Yorkshire puddings and the gravy was fantastic. The coffees were not of a good quality and we had to change them. This was our third or fourth visit, and although we would probably visit again, I would hope for a slightly better experience. A big plus point for the lady with blonde hair and glasses. She was amazing and handled our queries really well. Thank you.

Four of us went into The Ship for a meal (1st time I've been in there). The staff were extremely friendly and courteous, three of us had half of chicken and chips, and I had the curry. The portions were very generous, and the meals were very hot and delicious, we would and will use The Ship again without no doubt, please thank the staff for us as they were busy, Many thanks, Kelvin and Jennifer. 🙂👍

Food was tasty, service was pleasant, but what ruined our visit was the guy with the ponytail dragging chairs and tables around ready for a large party to arrive, couldn't hear ourselves talking. He could have lifted them instead of dragging them rather noisily. This is the second time this has happened during our lunch visits.

The Ship is my local pub and I cannot praise it highly enough The staff are all quite young but they are brilliant.... Friendly and hard working even on rugby days they work their socks off and are still smiling The food is excellent value ....we eat there often Sunday lunch is very good as well...a kind of sports bar in the back room and live music on certain nights My hubby says it serves the best pint of Guinness in the area Give it a try you won't be disappointed 👏👏👏

Found a hair in our food, potatoes burnt to the point they couldn't be eaten. The several veg was stirred a mixed together but members of the table can't eat certain veg. Majority of the food was left and unfit to eat, spoke to a member of the waitress team who said they will inform the manager. He came over, explained and showed the photo of the hair etc however, no apology, basically stated that he will just ask the chef about it, came across that he didn't believe us even though we had the photo evidence. We said the food wasn't that great and he stated that he serves 200 people on a Sunday so we didn't matter, he just walked off and sat at his computer. The bill came, no reduction, no sympathy except from several of the waitressing staff who agreed the owner is rude and didn't care. I had to use the toilet and on my way the manager was staring at me with an uneasy look. I asked him why is he looking at me like that but he just shrugged his shoulders. I said thank you for his great customer service and I walked back to my table. He followed me and told me not to be rude, I said I just said thanks for the customer service and I explained to him how rude he sounded he just said just leave the premises. This is not somewhere I would recommend to anyone, food quality very bad I even heard customers on other tables complaining about the food. Managers attitude terrible! AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED!

The worst thing about this place is the manager!! There was a hair in my food and when told to the waitress the manager came over and took no responsibility. Didnt apologise and instead made excuses why it wouldnt be a hair implying that we are lying! Saying that his chefs have hair nets and that he serves over 200 people a day! The food itself was AWFUL! The roast potatoes were overcooked and everything was bland! NOTHING was done about our complaint on the food. The bill came requiring we pay for all the meals even though I had eaten very little as it was just disgusting. All of our party didnt enjoy their meals. The manager then only came over over due to one of our party complaining on the customer service. He then stated that WE didn't wait for him to sort the bill even though we had been sat there long enough for him to actually DO something and we had already paid at this point. Again, no apology, no accountability taken and very rude staff. Even the waitress apologised on his behalf saying if she could change this she would (so even staff recognised how bad this was). Avoid at all cost!

Young children can enjoy the play area and a double decker bus soft play area whilst parents can sit under cover or in the Sunr. LONG queues for drinks when it's nice weather as this place is VERY popular. Good food served outdoors also, to which there is also an indoor Restaurant. As stated, this was my first trip to the Inn and will certainly go again.

When we arrived we were put in the bar which was fine but we seemed to be forgotten about. Ordered Sunday dinner for 4 adults and 1 child. I bought a round of drinks at the the bar after being told it couldn’t be charged to the table until we ordered food. I asked for glasses for the cans they were all dirty with one with lipstick on. We waited over an hour for the main course. When we went to pay we had been charged for the first round of drinks again and double all the food. When we complained they got the manager who was aggressive and rude and didn’t once apologise for their error. I got the impression he thought we were lying. He went to the kitchen to sort it out then came back and continued being aggressive he even put his son on the door to ensure we didn’t leave. It turned out we had been overcharged by more than double first bill was £240+ and final bill was £113 when I asked for a copy of the first bill I was refused and told it was his property and he said he was going to put a picture up of me all over the the pub which is again quite an aggressive behaviour towards a 5’2” middle aged woman. In the exchange he had a go at me for blaming the staff I told him I had no problem with any of the team but quite frankly they looked terrified of him. Really disappointing as food was fine and all the team members were lovely.

Rest of the experience in summary - Vegetable curry £14.99, if you like a small portion of rice and a meagre portion of veg drowning in a barely ok curry sauce, then this is the one for you. My second drink arrived quite quickly and, eventually, S remembered that my wife’s second drink hadn’t come. I could recommend several really good local restaurants to which the owner could send S to see how customers should be treated. The couple that should have had the table where we sat arrived later and were shown to a table for four. Possibly a good idea too would be to restrict the dog that appeared in the doorway (I’m guessing from the bar or maybe some other kitchen/prep area) three times during our meal! He was no problem, just rather strange to see him surveying the restaurant while people were eating. The highlight was paying the bill - a completely new experience for me! I’d checked the bill and placed my credit card on the table waiting for S to return. S picked up my card and performed the contactless gesture as if I was invisible, without even consulting me as to whether I wanted to go down the contactless route or use my pin?! I was too surprised to say anything. Finally, without sounding too fussy, your “Eaten Mess” should be spelt Eton Mess (not as written on a discarded slate placed next to the chiller cabinet with the dead desserts). The Ship Inn used to be a lovely place to eat with several absolutely first class servers. We won’t be returning.

Don't really know where to start with this, if I could give a 0 star review I would. Management was terrible myself and my family where not served for an hour and a half after we arrived, when the waitress eventually arrived we still had not been given a menu for drinks or food then we waited again for another 10 minutes for that to arrive. We ordered our food then we where told there was no stock for our orders then they gave us still hard/frozen chips. All in all an absolute shambles run by very poor management.
