The Ship Inn Itchenor in Chichester

Un hermoso pub, en un lugar hermoso. El personal era amable y acogedor y la comida era increíble, vivo en Londres, pero sin duda intentaré hacer otra visita, me imagino que sería encantador durante el verano

Es una ubicación encantadora y excelentes vistas al agua desde las mesas exteriores. Personal muy agradable. Un consejo es que te asegures de registrar tu coche en el bar si aparcas en su aparcamiento.

Comida normal pero cara. Personal de bar hosco. Con eso puedo lidiar. No se me recuerda que registre mi coche, ya que no fuimos al pub y pedimos en el jardín y luego nos dieron una bofetada con una multa de estacionamiento de £ 100? ¿Estás loco? No regresará excepto para usar el baño.

Visitado agosto BH fin de semana, 2 familias - tabla de 8 . El servicio era fantástico - menú especial muy bueno y la comida casi tan buena como la comida del pub obtiene. Porciones de gran tamaño, bien bueno, bien condimentado, Extraño que algunos informes mencionan la calidad media de la comida - comemos mucho y esto fue impresionante!

¿Qué pasó con el Ship Inn? He estado yendo aquí a lo largo de los años, la comida siempre fue tan fresca y sabrosa. Visité recientemente y la comida era tan decepcionante. Pedí entrantes de gambas reales al ajo lo que llegó fue literalmente un puñado de lo que sabía a pequeños camarones descongelados, y para añadir £ 9. ¡50 el pop! El filete estaba demasiado cocido, seco y gomoso, el pollo medio asado era una pierna y un muslo secos y arrugados. Gracias salvadoras... los mejillones sabían bien. Es una lástima como un pub tan encantador en una gran ubicación. No nos quejamos de no planear volver por comida.

We stayed next door in a holiday let and really enjoyed the 2 meals we had at the Shipp. Great service, food came quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals, great location. Food portions were big, served piping hot and reasonable prices for the portion size. Must admit I was surprised to see so many negative reviews as I’m fairly fussy and thought this place was great!

Lovely, fast and friendly service. Unfortunately the food was awful. Roast pork was served raw and bloody in the middle but they've brought out a new plate straight away, no problem. The vegetables were not great either, no seasoning on anything. Wouldn't eat there again but would definitely go back for drinks only. Fantastic location and very friendly staff.

Terrific location and Pub perfect on all counts 😁 the service and ambience of this location adjacent to Witterings and Brackelsham Bay.

Wonderful location, but unfortunately food was awful and expensive, both adults and children’s menu. I had a burger (£17) was completely over cooked, albeit fries were excellent, Caesar salad with ‘chicken’ was deep fried southern chicken - 3 small pieces overcooked - (£16)and kids had pasta with basic tomato sauce. One portion of chips never turned up despite chasing twice… Been coming here for 25 years, and had some wonderful meals Come on guys, you can do much better….

Met friends for lunch. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The beer was nice and a good selection. The food portions were a good size but as always one small thing let's it down.. frozen roast potatoes! Such a shame but will be going back again soon to try the evening meals.

We arrived and were shown through to the restaurant. The server was extremely personable and attentive, but when paying £45 for a bottle wine....it should be served properly not just dumped on the table and the poring and checking if it's corked left to the customer. Partner had a small portion of fish and chips which she enjoyed, and the home made tartare sauce was delicious. My southern fried chicken burger was less enjoyable....a tiny flattened chicken breast with little spice could be found in an over loaded bun (which was seriously stale to the point I couldn't cut through it) with obscenely thick slices of tomato and heaps of coleslaw...obviously and attempt to masquerade the tiny pice of chicken...just did not provide value for money for £17.50. A lovely walk to the pub from our air bnb...but we'll be giving it a miss tonight and going further afield. I did feedback to the waitress who apologised.....nothing taken off the bill which was the difference between us returning or not.

Lovely evening meal. Nice to have smaller portion of fish and chips. Lovely Sauvignon Blanc wine. Limited menu but sufficient choice for a nice night out. Specials board focusing on fish. Back again for dinner tomorrow and looking forward to it again.

Fantastic Sunday Roast. High quality Beer Sirloin cooked perfectly, effort made with their delicious veg, lots of tasty gravy and best Yorker I’ve had in a long time! Highly recommend 👌👌👌 I took the Itchenor Ferry over from Bosham which is a great way to do this…

This is a review for the accommodation - the company we booked via (Fresh Air Holidays) won’t allow me to post a review on their site. We pre-booked both the cottage and the apartment for elderly family members to stay in as we were getting married at the sailing club just opposite. Booked eight months ahead. A week before the wedding, Fresh Air took the money for the booking from my account, and THEN told me that the apartment was not available as pub staff were living in it. So we had to find last-minute alternative accommodation for my mother-in-law and her son. The cottage booking was honoured, but I rather wish it hadn’t been. The lockbox was impossible to open and my parents had to get a man from the pub to help them. With the exception of the master bedroom, the rooms were tiny and cramped. The bed in the second bedroom was so uncomfortable that my uncle (who is in his eighties) chose to sleep on the sofa instead. The ladder on the bunk beds in the third bedroom was broken, and my other uncle had to climb onto the bedside table to get in and out of bed. Drainage was faulty in both bathroom and kitchen - ten minutes to drain the sinks! Overall in poor repair and should not be let to paying customers until the lockbox, beds and plumbing are fixed.

visited for lunch on 6,5,24 did not have a booking but plenty of free tables available as it was 3 pm and most people had left. We were shown to a table next to one with a dog. I asked for an alternative as the dog would be a few inches away from us. The barman's reply was that the dog doesn't bite ( incredible) and this was the only table available, however within 5 minutes a couple came in, again without a booking and was told by another member of staff they could sit anywhere they liked.

We were actually planning on another pub but they were booked up so after a little google I came across the Ship Inn. Wanted somewhere to go for dinner and made a booking a few hours before. The staff were amazing, the food was so delicious, it's not particularly cheap but the food is well worth the price you pay and the portion sizes we thought were massive. We were very glad we went and would definitely recommend!

Tasty food and great service for efficient friendly staff. Lovely location and the venue is clean and has a great atmosphere. We will be back to visit you often in the near future.

What a Fantastic place to go for a delicious plate of lunch. The service here is fantastic and the staff are wonderful. The food is wonderful 10/10 the portion sizes are great would definitely come back hear to eat again and recommend to Friends.

Sunday lunch “ roast “ and steak/kidney pud was fabulous,😍 big portions, friendly staff & owner/mangers Gary . Reasonably priced, will definitely return and recommend.

Recommended by a friend so had a quick lunch to see if ok to bring our dog in the future . Lovely pub , friendly helpful staff and good grub . We had fish pie and steak & kidney suet pudding both excellent. I usually take photos but was too busy tucking in 😂. We will return with our doggy when warmer to sit outside 🐾.

Great pub food apparently under new owners. Great area outside and my dog was welcome. Only problem is when you enter there are ( I presume they are ) locals sprawling across the front of the bar who you had to squeeze past to order a drink, this made my girlfriend and I extremeley uncomfortable, they were over familiar too. That said great location with ample parking.

Dropped in for afternoon pint and snack. Friendly staff. Mixed crowd of locals (It feels like the social hub of the village) and visitors to Itchenor. We ordered chips as a snack. Had better but good to have after a day on windy beach.

Brilliant Sunday roast for the family and dog friendly. We sat outside, lots of other families and dogs about, nice atmosphere. Food was brilliant (special mention to the bread and butter pudding!). Staff friendly and attentive.

Super tasty meal on a Friday night! The specials were seasonal and are highly recommended. Great choice of ales/wine , great service and food to die for! Thank you Ship Inn.

Visited for a Sunday lunch we both went for a roast. The food was excellent service was great and we will definitely be going back.

Came to itchenor for a walk and had a wonderful Sunday roast in the Ship. Beef was amazing beautifully cooked and tender and the service was fab too. Will defo be returning!

Awesome food & fab service in a clean, dog friendly environment with a lovely atmosphere. We had spectacular Yorkshire puddings with our roast beef, delicious cauliflower cheese, sticky toffee pud & a couple of delightful starters. The Ship has resurrected, back to its very best. Can’t wait to return…

1st time visiting the ship inn at Itchenor and won’t be my last. Staff were amazing and our food was lovely. Didn’t have to wait long for the food to come out either.

What a treat. Went out for a quick bite and ended up staying a while. Place was fully booked on a Wednesday but managed to get a table in the pub. We hardly waited for food or service. They were on the ball. Had the...

Popped in following a walk in west wittering, table available in the bar as we had a dog. Ordered and paid for food at bar-I must say it was the best roast I’ve had in a long time

Lovely Sunday lunch. Car parking was easy. You have to register at reception for a 3 hour slot. Friendly staff. Simple Sunday lunch menu. Very quick service. Nice relaxed atmosphere in the dining room.

We arrived unannounced on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Although the restaurant was busy we were accommodated with professional efficiency and empathy. Staff were brilliant, food excellent and ambiance low keyed. On our experience, thoroughly recommended.

Recommended by the skipper of the Bosham-Itchenor ferry, we found a spacious, characterful pub with original deco features like portholes in the doors. Landlord a bit prickly to start but soon warmed up. The Sunday lunch was very nice. generously served with a great selection...

Very nice meal. Good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and there was plenty of parking available. Had booked a table as we thought it would be busy but it was quite quiet

Haven’t been in a while, went in and was a bit disappointed after being greeted with very unfriendly and quite rude bar staff!!! Didn’t feel like a welcoming atmosphere …

Great visit thanks to Claire and the chef. I thought I had booked for the Christmas lunch but had made a mistake and just booked for the normal menu. Claire went out of her way to help and went to speak with the chef to...

Beautiful unique pub with kind & engaging staff. Relaxed atmosphere; excellent food & good quality drink. Perfect for a quiet Monday evening.

I’ve visited for drinks before, but wasn’t aware that they did lighter lunches too. We had sandwiches and pizzas and all were delicious at a decent price. With very good friendly professional service. Will definitely be visiting again for food.

A very warm and friendly team in a lovely spot. Drinks were good, service great and very dog friendly. Would highly recommend

Date night with my partner and we were in the mood to try this lovely and interesting pub as it's a new pub in the beer guide. We both like supporting the local pubs. When we finally arrived there at 8.35pm, we were not aware...

We visited at Lunchtime, a Party of 4 plus a CockaPoo. A very pleasant, bubbly Barmaid Clare served us. Unfortunately they only had a limited menu so it was Drinks only. My Cockapoo was spoilt as they had a terrific selection of Canine Treats.

Unplanned stop at the Ship inn . Had dinner and drinks . Super service along with a quality food at a decent price. Highly recommend!

Lovely pub very close to Itchenor Sailing Club where we were staying. Excellent service and friendly staff. Good pub food as well.

This pub has a great location but it is not optimised....patio should be tidier, and more presentable. Food choose good but the de.ivery did not match the menu details.....no tomato in the couscous and halloumi salad. No guest check back. I will try again but it needs to be better. Should the pub be closing at 9.30 pm ?

Fantastic sandwich lunch helped along by Proper Job, cornish IPA. Great service, excellent food and drink in a great atmosphere!

We had no recommendations for here but were looking for something different and were very pleased. Food was delicious and plentiful and a nice atmosphere inside. The owner came round to ensure we were pleased with our meal which we were. We brought our dog...

Food was amazing. Staff very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was great. We had a really relaxing evening and we’re not rushed at all.

Delicious food, extremely welcoming and helpful staff. Our two dogs also loved their evening, will definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend!

Beautiful village with this big friendly pub with large outdoor space and dog friendly too. The food was above average and pizzas were exceptional. Waiting staff were attentive and friendly. Small car park that you must register your car at the bar on arrival. Lots...

Came here whilst visiting Itchenor. Çlean spacious outside seating. Good choice of local ales available. Extensive menu is also available, children are also welcome!

Lovely setting, great food and excellent customer service, the staff also very welcoming to our little dog Riley and even provide dog treats. We had three courses and all were very nice especially the mussels which I would say are the best I’ve had and...

A very welcoming environment from the staff and new owner of the Inn. Good selection of beer. Menu looks tasty though we didn’t eat

Good variety of beer including guest ales. Friendly staff. Don't forget to register your car if parking in the car park.

Stopped by to have a pint. Watched a spitfire loop the looping, what a treat! Great service, beer lovely. Will be back soon for sure!!😊

Service was awful. Two large tables who came in after us, we’re both served their food before us (One starters, one mains). I ordered fries with my steak, which came with chips. It was was way overpriced at £30, with a very feeble bit of...

Menu was an improvement on last year. Beer good. Unable to supply cold white wine as used it at lunchtime! No fair tips policy. The Ship cottage is expensive but comfortable but no Wi-Fi ( not the pub Wi-Fi which only works in one room)which...

Lovely pub, that we have visited on a few occasions previously, food was great although very expensive - my wife has a burger and she asked for sweet potato fries not regular fries, this was done but at a cost of nearly £6.00 with no...

When I first went to the Ship I liked it. But went last night and the menu had changed and not for the better. Had chicken kebabs with salad, just a bunch of green leaves and chips. £17.50! It was not value for money and...

Have been coming here for years. Beautiful place and very friendly service but food quality gone downhill unfortunately. Miss the old quality.

We booked here because it was dog friendly - but to be honest it was very disappointing. The situation is nice near Chichester Harbour but you have to register your car in the bar which is a faff (she explained why but anyone could park,...

Last minute booking for 12. Great staff-friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. Food was excellent as well.

I don’t understand the negative reviews. People who complain about getting a fine for not registering your car - there are literally 20 signs all requesting car owners register their cars on the indoor booking system. The pizzas are delicious, my 2 year old grandson...

A nice meal ruined by a £60/100 fine for not registering our car registration. We will stop using them - It's too much of a surcharge. The staff don't remind guests at the table and rely on us being able to get to a small...

Super friendly staff and superb food at this lovely pub! It was a glorious day so we enjoyed their large garden area. They make dogs welcome by providing water bowls and shaded areas.

Excellent food and service. A friendly atmosphere from welcoming staff. Good value for money too!!!

A perfect spot for a good meal and a beautiful walk beside Chichester Harbour. The food was excellent, and there is a good range of beers on draught.

Read previous reviews and as visiting area for Easter weekend was a bit sceptical about what is was going to be like. We were greeted by friendly accommodating staff .service was very good.food was good hot and tasty .had a lovely evening would recommend and...

Absolutely sunk cold dead food . Arrogant staff , dated pub . No effort, no charm , really is a pity x

We made a group booking for 25 people. The Ship reserved an area for us and were very accommodating. On the night the food and service were excellent and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere. Lovely pub, well be visiting again

So disappointed, returned to the ship Inn and found that the food has dropped in standard a huge amount. Pale roast potatoes that look like they spent less than 5 minutes in the oven, cold veg, roast pork that looked like a cross between jerky...

My partner and I went to the Ship Inn for Sunday lunch today. I had the best Bloody Mary aperitif and our lunches were perfect! Huge and delicious portions and the friendliest of staff. Our first visit but definitely not our last. Susanna and Dave.

3 of us went for lunch, it was not busy, we were served quite quickly and pleasantly. But the food!! the serrano ham croquetas were well cooked but tasteless and mainly potato. the fish stew was very overcooked and quite tasteless. The boeuf bourguignon was...

Two mums and two teenage kids had a fabulous visit. Lovely welcome from the landlord and very well looked after throughout our time at the ship. Had a drink in the bar followed by a fantastic meal in the restaurant. Baked camembert and burger particularly...

Visited this afternoon and ordered 2 x 1/2 pints of Long Man lager. The landlord enters onto his tablet and says £4.50 please. He then notices that I have a credit card in my hand. 'Oh'. Then 'actually that's £5.90 that Long Man bitter.' I...

We sat out the back and enjoyed some drinks/food in the beer garden. The fish and chips was particularly good!!

After doing a boat tour of the harbour, we stopped at The Ship for lunch and were pleasantly surprised . The quality of the food was excellent - fresh and tasty and the prices were reasonable. We went inside to order but sat outside under...

We had a family lunch for six people here and found a table in the garden. They had a pizza bar in the garden so it made sense to order pizza. That was a mistake. The salami used was so salty and spicy that it...

An expensive trip for what we got. We sat outside and ordered inside. Inside looked nice and toilets were very clean. Drinks nice, aperol spritz decent. Sadly no calamari but courgette fritters delicious! Halloumi out of a packet and overcooked. Kids meal very good quality...

We went to the lovely pub at the beautiful village of Itchenor . It has a large outside area as well as the inside of the pub and even cabins if you want to stay over . It is very near the shore if you...

A very average meal which took ages to be served and tables were not cleaned regularly. Staff were not particularly friendly and one member of staff actually rolled her eyes at my son. Won't be returning.

Two great evenings at this convivial pub on two consecutive nights as we were staying locally. Good food at sensible prices, short but interesting wine list, excellent service and lovely relaxed atmosphere in airy and characterful surroundings.

Nice meal, pub wasn’t busy despite it being peak holiday time. Kid & dog friendly. There is an outdoor pizza menu as well as restaurant menu. Staff very friendly.

6 of us popped down the round to the local for dinner for the first time under the new management. Firstly good to see a fair few people in there on arrival ! Quite slow for our drinks order to be taken in the restaurant,...

Popped in for a drink ended up having dinner can highly recommend the fish & chips. Friendly atmosphere great beer garden.

Friendly efficient service, food cooked to high standard and presentation.quality ingredients.Drinks were served from bar quickly

Visited with friends after a day on the beach. Delicious starters and fishcake with poached egg and spinach was very tasty. All washed down with a lovely pale rosé. Will definitely be back

We are local and have always supported the Ship and enjoyed the experience of going. They are very dog friendly and the food has always been good. It’s a great pub to end up at after a circular coastal walk. However, went today for lunch...

I have to say that this pub with its captive audience (no perceived competition) is rated as OK, but it should be much better and really sparkle. The food is acceptable but not better than that. Our waiter was the bright glimmer that evening, however,...

Impromptu dinner out, sat in the bar, good atmosphere. Enjoyed fish and chips and the chicken schnitzel after tasty starters. Friendly service- seems much improved with new manager. Will be back soon

Under new management and what a great start! Staff were friendly and welcoming and dealt with a minor issue both promptly and professionally. Mark in particular went out of his way to ensure put visit was a positive one. Would highly recommend a visit, and...

Idyllic setting. Very friendly staff, warm and inviting. Made to feel very welcome. Good selection of food, reasonably priced. Great service. Highly recommend

In this day of businesses struggling after the pandemic, you would have thought that customers would be welcomed - not here! After not hearing back from an email enquiry about a booking when planning a trip to the area, I telephoned. Very ofish chap informed...

I noted it was under new management. Mark the manager was a great host. Made us very welcome . He told us he had recently taken over and had plans to make the pub great The meal was also very good. I feel we will...

We where highly recommended to this lovely “Ship inn” full of character and not far to walk down to the river, Itchenor is a beautiful village so a visit to this pub is a must, it’s under new management and the staff so friendly and...

The Ship is in a brilliant position close to the estuary in the lovely village of Itchenor. We had spent a couple of hours exploring the local area so deserved a well earned drink. Glorious day so sitting outside on the forcourt with all the...

Lunch with friends. My " Orange, carrot, pistachio salad + chilli & lemon dressing" had still not been served when my friends had nearly finished their food. I went into the bar to enquire, it was then soon served. However, I was shocked to find...

Went there for a drink and a pizza and the pizza was the best pizza I have ever had, the 2 boys working there where so lovely and charming, would definitely recommend.

Booked several months ago for 4 people to stay 2 nights at the ship apartment whilst seeing our friends in Itchenor. 2 days before we were due to arrive, on a bank holiday weekend, the ship cancelled our accommodation booking without an explanation. Thankfully the...

Went on a Sunday for the roast which was hideous and way over priced. It was slow at coming out and it came out cold, the potatoes were burnt and tasteless, veg was bought out separately and not on the plate which I wasn't expecting...

Very disappointed with the open sandwich from £10.00 to £13.50, with a meagre slice of sourdough bread with a very small topping. To make matters worse chips were cold and when mentioned the young girl just shrugged her shoulders and went off. I should of...
