The Ship Inn Pakefield in North Warwickshire

This is an old style pub and can be a bit noisy in the main bar. The restaurant part, in what is confusingly called the smoking room, is much quieter. The food - we ate a massive mixed grill - was plentiful and tasty. The service time was reasonable. The price, £32 each, is normal for a meal including steak. My only complaint would be the attitude of a member of staff. We arrived at 6.50 for a 7 pm appointment, only to be told that a member of staff would 'lead us ro our table' at 7. She also assumed that we would know where the restaurant was, even though we had never been in there before. She also seemed to take great pleasure in telling us that they were 'fully booked', even though I had booked. Once we ordered the most expensive item on the menu, her attitude changed. Because of the member of staff's attitude I have awarded the pub 4 stars instead of 5

First time dining there. Excellent welcome and staff brilliant. Very attentive but not overwhelming. The food was spot on and cooked from scratch. A place not to be missed and will definitely look forward to our next visit

Another brilliant meal in this friendly welcoming pub. We ate from the bar menu the previous week (delicious and great value) but then had a restaurant meal for a birthday treat. Lots of choices including specials. My sea bass was amazing! Excellent service, good choice of draft beer and generally lovely pub.

First class food, we had not booked a table but they were very accommodating. Starters Breaded Garlic Mushrooms were above & beyond tasty, Pork Loin with Sweet Potato fries with herby salsa was delicious as was the Lemon & Thyme Chicken followed by Brioche pudding & custard. Best tasty meal we have thoroughly enjoyed in ages and very reasonably priced. Staff went above & beyond to make us feel comfortable.

Excellent service, friendly, efficient, delicious food! We had some guests from the Netherlands staying with us and thought we'd take them for a traditional English roast! They were very impressed. Reasonably priced and very helpful and engaging with the children in our group too! My daughter has been asking whether we could make this a regular spot!!! Spotless restaurant and toilets and a lovely atmosphere! Well done and thank you!

Been meaning to write a review of the fantastic New Years Eve Bash at the Ship for weeks and weeks, this was the second time we have attended a new year party at the Ship and this one again didn't disappoint, great atmosphere, food and entertainment. The whole team deserve huge praise for the night, and the theme for those who wanted to dress up left most, shaken bur not stirred :)

Christmas meal with friends. Probably one of the best Christmas meals I’ve had in recent years. Excellent quality, value and friendly service. Plus a lovely atmosphere and great choice of drinks. Would highly recommend!

We went with friends, after having driven past the pub for years, assuming it was a back street local, we were recommended to try it, staff food and atmosphere, all far exceeded our expectations We will be back, thank you.

Great food and friendly service. Everything was cooked from scratch and to a very high standard. We had such an enjoybale meal that we returned a few days later and even though we had not booked, they slotted us in for an early meal. Could not ahbe asked for more. Would higly recommend.

Great for a family meal-kids meals were real food and not cheap bread/ chicken nuggets type dinners. Party of 10 with all smiles, Toilets were the best I have seen in a pub for a while. The only thing was when we first got there the slide was broken and we had sold kids on a play area, but apart from that. Food, drink restaurant and toilets all great 👍

Been here on several occasions now. We are locals so lovely to have somewhere on our doorstep that does properly cooked food. Think bone marrow gravy on the roast, not packet stuff and you get the idea. We've tried several of the dishes, and the specials board changes often. Never let us down yet.

Absolutely fantastic food Sunday lunch. I had turkey husband had beef . Was excellent food well presented and plentiful. No room.for dessert! Will definitely return many thanks

Visited The Ship after several recommendations. The restaurant is separate from the bar which was nice. Not a huge menu but did also have specials to choose from. We all had garlic bread with cheese as a starter! Amazing!! Never tasted garlic bread like it!! Myself and my mother in law had boeuf bourguignon which was delicious, it came with mash but I requested chips which was no trouble at all, my husband and father in law had the steak burger and they said it was equally very tasty. Portions aren’t huge but quality was excellent! Prices are not extortionate and we were happy with what we paid for the quality of the meal. Sweets were delicious too, especially the s’mores waffle! Note to chef: I felt there could have been some veg of some sort, perhaps some savoy cabbage or peas served with the boeuf bourguignon and a little salad with the burgers but that’s just personal preference. Would definitely revisit!
