The Ship Pub and Dining in Allerdale

5 of us met up here, as walk in, They found us a table, It was clean, staff friendly, we ordered the food arrived with in reasonable time fresh and hot. Menu choice very good, portion sizes very good cooked well. Prices reasonable. Staff helpful and cheery. Had read a couple of bad reviews but then often there are those that look for issues. Will be back.

Hi my wife visited tonight with 2 friends booked a meal and was looking forward to a catch up.We spent over £100 between us .We were told at 9.20 pm that they were closing in 10 minutes even though they served us with a round of drinks at 9 pm which cost almost £20 This pub advertises opening times are 11.30 am until 11 pm.Food was fine ,room cold .We won’t be back

Nice friendly restaurant, good service. The meals are substantial but also do an over 60 menu with several choices but smaller portions plus’s pud for £12.99 good value and an ample meal.well worth a visit

My husband and I both orderd the steak pie. It was the best steak pie we have had for a long time. Full of tasty tender chunks of steak, The chips were lovely and crispy and the veg cooked properly, soft none of that al dente hard veg. The portion was so big we brought home, for the dog, as much meat as we had eaten. We are staying close by for the week and planning to go back again tonight. All the staff were lovely and very friendly especially towards our dog who was most welcome. Highly recommend this lovely pub

The portions of food were poor and low quality. As though the kitchen was running out of ingredients so trying to stretch the food. We all got puddings also, 2 of the party had chocolate fudge cake and it didn't smell right.. smelled like cleaning products. One of the party was also sick . I went and complained and was told rudely that they don't use bleach so couldn't of been. Only got one pudding removed from the bill. Also had jam roll poly which was very very dry and I couldn't eat it. Wouldn't recommend and won't be going back again.

We came here after a friend local to the pub recommended it. We booked a table but it wasn’t too busy so could’ve walked in. Our food and drink order was taken at the table. We are a family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 children. The food came piping hot and huge portions. My only gripe was that the veg was either tinned or frozen and very overcooked but didn’t take away from how good the rest of the meal was. Highly recommend the cheese and onion pie, it was the best I’ve ever had! We will definitely return when we are in the area again. Quite reasonable priced and the kids both got a penguin ice cream for dessert.

We were a large group (12) of various ages and tastes and we were well looked after by the staff of the Ship. The meals were not only large but we're well cooked, tasty and we'll presented in all cases. The menu was wide ranging. The girls serving us worked hard to cater for our different needs and we're always available to assist. It's not unusual for us as a large group to have things go wrong or to experience mistakes in our orders but it did not happen here. The pub / restaurant was busy when we arrived at 5:30 on a Tuesday night and was nearly full when we left, so they must be pleasing the regulars! Recommended if in this part of the Lake district.

This was amazing meal. Party of seven with all different tastes including vegetarian. Portion sizes are huge. Was sceptical coming in as not most attractive of venues but everything was cooked to perfection. Seven happy diners.

Fairly traditional pub food, but done right. Decent burgers, veggie lasagna was lovely, chips cooked properly... just a really nice pub doing great food, menu is varied and they have a 2-for-£25 lunchtime offer which is great value

The table was very sticky when we sat down to it We asked the waitress if she could give the table a wipe and she insisted the table was clean and it was the varnish that was sticky🤢 We took it upon ourselves to wipe the table with our napkins and they were filthy afterwards🤮 We should have walked out at this point😤 The food was okay…large portions but the veg was tinned or frozen and overcooked poor quality The staff were very apathetic and stayed at the bar ….apart from a slim built girl who made us feel very comfortable and was the only member of staff who took any interest in the customers To top it off ….We asked for a VAT receipt and the staff said that they would have to ask the manager who would ring us the next day 🤔…..very odd way to run a business 😳 We then had a number of DMs from the manager who was very unprofessional ….and surly with us ….no wonder there was only 6 customers in their restaurant if their attitude is anything to go by….not a good way to run a business We will not be going back …..stay away

Visited twice and was not disappointed. Nice pub and great food staff really friendly nothing too much trouble. Dogs enjoyed their doggy dinner too Thankyou

Excellent food and staff were very attentive. Recommended place for a great Cumbrian meal. Lol very setting for families

We came to The Ship for our evening meal a few week back. There is plenty choice on the menu including all your pub favourites. I had the scampi which was quite nice although there was no tartare sauce (they brought some when asked) and no lemon. My husband had the cumberland sausage which he said was ok but it was over cooked. Huge portions. Parking available outside.

Great lunch here today. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I had the cheese pie with chips and beans which was really good and you got plenty on your plate. So much I couldn't finish it all. My partner had the vegetable Lasagne which was also very good. Thank you.

We always visit the Dovenby Ship when we are in the Lake District. Quite a distance from where we stay but well worth the journey.

Been here in the past not the great food tonight or the service food was a big let down lasagna was very greasy and chips cold staff very unprofessional. £105 spend won’t be back.

Went here for the first time in a long while as we fancied some where different for a change omg what a mistake that was. When we arrived the staff showed us to our table the floor was very slippy like greasey and tables and chairs were also very run down with stains and tables wernt nice either. Very run down and could do with a refresh. When the food arrived it was swimming in grease so much that we couldn't even eat the food which made the onion rings and chips all soggy. We sat for a long while but no one come over 2 see if the meal was okay or to take the plates away. So we just walked over the bar 2 pay the bill wen he asked behind the bar if everything was okay we told him that it wasn't great and swimming in grease... he just sed he was sorry about that.... 83.50 for a load of you know what....sh*@# Good luck if you decide to go!! I'll be sticking to my usual restaurants for now on ha.

5 different meals chosen, all very nice. Excellent value. Staff helpful and attentive. The first venue we’ve visited all week that has offered a wide choice of meals.

I booked a room here in June for business. After arriving and waiting for an hour I was told to return later as the room wasn’t ready. I duly did so and returned later that evening. I was told by staff to ring the owner as they said they couldn’t find the key for the room. The owner went on to tell me they’d lost the key for the room and there was nothing he could do. He then said he’d refund me. He has since blocked my number and will not return my calls with no sign of refund. Do not attempt to book a room here unless you want the same treatment.

Absolutely fabulous. There were four of us and our dog. We were very warm welcomed. The waiters were superb and very polite. The food was delicious. We all ate everything. The brownie was to die for. So fresh. Thank you all so much. We will be back very very soon.

This was very average, the service and the food … nobody came to ask if the food is ok… no questions about drinks till everybody has finished their meal …. We were a big ish group - some of the food was cold … the spot is not the cleanest … Quantity over quality on the food!

Last min treat. Went for the 2 for 20 meal at 5pm but on arrival it was 2 for 23 but only for lunch time. Both pick chicken in pepper sauce/ chips and salad £16.95, absolutely lovely. Chips were awesome. Loved it all. Salad was fresh. Chicken lovely Will return

Went for lunch this afternoon to the dovenbyship. Food was very nice, as always. Although, sitting near the kitchen door was a mistake. You could hear every conversation staff were having. Not appropriate language and loud voices form all the men serving and cooking. One of the kitchen staff came out and started to change into motorbike attire by the bar, walking around with no shoes on across the restaurant floor. Didn't feel like we were sitting in the same restaurant as on previous occasions in the evening, but possibly less established staff on service today. Kind regards. 16/03/2023

We booked last min for a table of 11 The lad that was on was great he dealt with every thing we wanted and needed with no problems. Considering he was on his own he did a great job. The food was lovely and the portion sizes are huge defo worth the money just gutted we had no room left for deserts.

I got there around 7 in the evening and was shown to my room, when the young man opened the door, the bed was unmade so he quickly shut the door again and said that he needed to sort the room out, I was asked to wait and it would be about 10 minutes. I went to my car to wait but nobody came to inform me that it was ready so I went back to the room after 20 mins. The sheets were not changed, he had just fixed the bed. The place was quite isolated and I was a female by myself so I was not confident enough to complain further. When I got ready for bed a constant beeping started. I phoned the hotel number and spoke to a member of staff, who said that he would sort it out, after about an hour it was still going so I called again but the phone went to voicemail! I messaged twice after that with no answer. I got absolutely no sleep all night and the guy in the room next to mine said he hadn't got any sleep for 2 nights as it had been faulty the night before as well. The next afternoon I called the hotel from work and spoke to the manager who assured me it was fixed and that he would refund me 1 nights money. I asked when and he told me on Saturday. When I didn't get the refund on Saturday, I called on Monday to chase it up and the manager said that he would do it that afternoon...I still hadn't received it the next day so I messaged him on Facebook messenger, to which his response was to block me and now everytime I call and they realise it's me, they hang up on me. Absolutely disgusting customer service, if you are not going to refund me at least have the decency to tell me instead of messing me around even more. I will never stay there again and I will never recommend it to anyone. The guy seemed really nice, just goes to show you can't trust anyone. It was overall an extremely upsetting experience.

I have eaten here many times over the years and the standard has generally been good for pub grub. Tonight was no exception with the food and service both being absolutely fine. The two things that let the side down though were: 1) No real...

Menu was slightly reduced(No surprise in current times) but still enjoyed our meal,chips were still the best around here

We went for family meal I got cumberland sausage which was terrible and didnt taste like cumberland sausage I told the waitress which she passed the message on to the chef the reply from the chef was I thought it was

We attend d The Ship to have a Sunday lunch. We all had the Turkey option. The service was great. The food was hot and the portions large. Excellent meal 5 star establishment

Very disappointed with our meal, was so looking forward to it scampi was over cooked, over heard kitchen asking how many more tables were to eat as chips running low. Cost alot of money for cold peas, not many chips.... Won't be back.

Arrived at the place ready for something to eat to only be turned away because they ‘had no tables’! The place wasn’t very busy and there were plenty of tables when we walked in, glad we went somewhere else after reading the reviews recently!

Unfortunately by the time I started reading the reviews we’d already ordered our lunch. I went for a special of half a roast chicken which was fairly dry but came with microwaved super hot bbq sauce and some very overcooked vegetables. Husband had some sort...

Attended at dinner time, the pub was busy but service was fast and efficient, staff are very accommodating. Large menu. However, the quality of the food is poor, and out of four meals, two were overcooked or had dried out after sitting under a heat...

Greeted by friendly staff and service was good . Food is served in large portions, but very average in quality. Chips served oily/greasy. Not somewhere to return to any time soon. Only highlight was the desert which was good.

Asistimos al barco para una comida de cumpleaños. Éramos seis. He estado en el barco varias veces y quería probar algo diferente, así que opté por el pollo con chile dulce. . Normalmente tomo lasaña, pero me apetecía un cambio. La comida era deliciosa y las patatas fritas también eran deliciosas. Mi único comentario negativo sería la verdura, fue enormemente exagerada y un poco blanda. Pero en general, una comida realmente agradable y volvería.

¡Bien, aquí tengo que confesar que soy realmente codicioso! ! La comida de este pub es tan deliciosa que fui allí tres veces en una semana mientras visitaba a mi familia en la zona. !Personal - super agradable! !Distanciamiento social - ¡perfecto! !Comida: ¡perfecta fuera de escala! !Relación calidad-precio, ¡absolutamente! !

Reservé una mesa para las 2 pm de hoy, las mesas están bien dispuestas con mucho espacio con respecto a la situación actual.Servicio de mesa, personal muy atento por si necesitas algo.El tamaño de las porciones es enorme, la cantidad de chips que tenemos para 2 personas, todo lo que puedo decir es ¡guau! ! !Comida fabulosa. Vuelvo enseguida.

Fui a este pub para una comida familiar anoche, y como estoy en un lugar en el que COVID - 19 está en pleno apogeo y hago todo lo posible para mantenerme a salvo, no puedo decir lo mismo de este pub y su personal, estaba muy molesto por la falta de EPP O incluso el reconocimiento de COVID - En mi opinión, 19 mesas con el restaurante se habían colocado muy cerca una de la otra y no había suficiente distancia de seguridad entre cada mesa, ya que para el personal no se advirtió ningún EPP por ellos, nos encontramos en la puerta por un hombre muy dulce en pantalones cortos y una camiseta. Pida bebidas que tardaron más de 30 minutos en llegar a nuestra mesa y que estaban mal cuando llegaron, al igual que la comida llegó justo antes de que pasara una hora, no nos habían dicho que había un retraso, cuando la comida apareció esperando al personal de la Cuaresma a través de nosotros en lo que veo como una zona de guardado para pasar a todos allí comida, otros restaurantes que he usado enEstos COVID - 19 veces, use una mesa vacía sin sillas para poner la comida para que el personal de servicio no se apoye sobre usted y mantenga una distancia de 2 metros junto con el PPE en guerra.En cuanto a la comida, ¿qué puedo decir aparte de que fue una mierda? Una comida no se cocinó y la carne estaba muy rosada en el medio (no, no era un bistec) no se comió una vez que se notó que otras comidas parecían estar demasiado cocidas. secos, duros, duros o incluso demasiado cocidos. La guarnición lateral también parecía sacada de la década de 1970. No hace falta decir que no volveré a este pub / restaurante pronto. Ya que temo por mi seguridad.

Service was very fast and the food was amazing! Great value for money and all tables were socially distanced. The young gentleman serving us was also very polite and friendly. Would deffo come back next time we visit the lakes.

¡Este pub no tiene interés en seguir las pautas de distanciamiento social! No tomamos nuestros detalles para rastrear y rastrear, las mesas están demasiado juntas, el personal no usa visores y está demasiado cerca, no hay desinfectante de manos, una gran fiesta de más de 20 personas se sentaron juntas, los menús no se limpiaron y el personal llevó bebidas sosteniendo el borde del gafas. Promedio de comida! Definitivamente no volveré.

Primeras impresiones, no buenas. Sin reconocimiento del personal (4 camareras) mientras esperábamos en la puerta. Finalmente una camarera rubia muy hosca nos vio y nos llevó a nuestra mesa.Selección muy limitada de vinos: solo 3 blancos. Cuando se le preguntó por el Sauvignon Blanc de Nueva Zelanda, dijo que sí, lo tenemos, así que lo ordené. Luego regresó para decir que lo siento, es chileno, que no me gusta, así que cambié a la primera opción de rosa. La camarera regresó para decir que habían abierto su última botella de rosas para que yo solo pudiera tomar un vaso. ! OK, dije! ¡Llegaron las bebidas y ella dejó caer el blanco chileno que ya había rechazado! !Pedí 2 bistecs que estaban buenos pero sin mantequilla con patatas asadas o salsa que habíamos pedido con el bistec. ¡La mesera hosca (no la original) finalmente lo sacó 5 minutos después! Aros de cebolla blandos y no suficientemente cocidos.¡Decidí tomar un gin tonic ya que no había más vino disponible! Vino con una pequeña cantidad de hielo y sin limón ni lima. Sin oferta de dulces y sin señal de ninguno de los 4 empleados para pagar la factura. ¡Tuve que caminar hasta el bar para encontrarlos a todos charlando!La falta de liderazgo y servicio al cliente fue muy deficiente. Tal vez fue porque no éramos locales, pero no volveremos allí durante nuestra estadía en esta hermosa parte del país.

Poped in to The Dovenby Ship tonight for a meal grate service lovely food plentiful for price. Quick service especially being busy

Solía ser uno de los mejores pubs para comer, pero ayer vino con mi pareja y ambos quedamos muy decepcionados. Pedí el pollo agridulce que solía ser encantador, pero el pollo estaba muy duro y la salsa agridulce sabía como si estuviera fuera de un paquete. Mi compañero pidió una parrillada mixta y parecía que la carne simplemente calentada, definitivamente no estaba fresca. El personal era encantador, pero sin duda no volveré.

Visitamos la semana que volvió a abrir después del cierre. El servicio y la comida mejoraron mucho desde nuestra visita anterior el año pasado. La comida era deliciosa y fresca.Sin embargo, sentimos que no estaban cumpliendo con las reglas de seguridad de Covid. No se nos pidió información de contacto a la llegada o al hacer la reserva. ¡Esto no es bueno para rastrear y rastrear!Las mesas estaban un poco demasiado cerca, el personal no se cubría la cara y se acercó bastante al tomar nuestro pedido.Regresaremos, pero esperamos que se adhieran un poco más estrictamente a la seguridad de Covid.

Second vist to the Ship and again wasn’t disappointed. I had the 10 oz sirloin and peppercorn sauce. Meat cooked to my liking and the chips were the best I have ever had in a pub. Wife had the saucy chicken which she commented on as be good as it was for her on our previous visit. Was told that there was free wifi but no siginal where we were sat. Will definitly return.

A group of us went to the Ship for lunch on Friday. The staff were really pleasant, the service was fast and the food was lovely. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Visited on a Friday lunch time and was surprised how popular this place was. Had always meant to visit this pub about 16 miles from where we live in St Bees.Staff were friendly and attentive. Free WiFi but slow. Dog friendly.Wife had the creamy leek and Stilton sauce which she throughly enjoyed . I had the ham egg and chips - fantastic especially the homemade chips. Will be returning

Visited the ship 25/2. Food was good but lady took our order of 5, read it back to us which was correct but when it came out one of the meals was wrong. Was told it would be a couple of minutes. 25minutes later the meal arrived but obviously we had finished ours the watched my Dad eat his alone. It was my Dads birthday so was a shame really. Nothing off the bill to reflect this happening which I thought was poor. Plus, they got a drinks order wrong. Food good, waitress needs to more switched on.

The restaurant wasn’t busy. We waited 25 minutes for our drink order to be taken. The restaurant is very shabby and needs updating. Service was poor apart from one waitress. Cutlery was dirty. The food was reasonable

Bien por la comida tardía de Valantins en The Dovenby Ship, ¿qué se puede decir? El personal de 10 +++ / 10 te hizo sentir una comida muy acogedora, un ambiente agradable y agradable, muy ocupado, pero el personal se manejó bien incluso Julian, esto también le desea a Julian y equipo lo mejor para el futuro del equipo. Definitivamente volveremos. Gracias Julian, Andy y Paula.

Oh no. From one of our very favourite places what has gone wrong? Xmas lunch was chaotic. Staff did not know if we had booked (we had). The meal was served on cold plates and 2 portions served 10 minutes before the other 3. Chips came later and it was just unpleasant. Couldn’t have the xmas menu because it has to be ordered in advance? It’s only a roast dinner really. Sorry, we have parted ways.

Having been here many times and always had a good experience. Don’t know what happen today when we went for a family Christmas lunch . The bar was cold and the food was lukewarm served on cold plates . The food would have been lovely had it been warm . Half of the beers were off and half of the sweets were off ! The staff although pleasant were not trained in any way , so service was poor . When we came to pay , there were 10 of us , we were told the card machine wasn’t working!!! We were glad to get to our cars to warm up . Don’t know what is going on here but won’t be in a hurry to return or recommend.

We were here last week my partner had a massive burger with home made chips and I had steak and chips it's the best meal we have had in a long time full plate all fresh steak cooked to perfection cant fault it in anyway at all we will definitely be going back soon .

Tenía la lasaña aquí ayer, había más queso que carne o pasta cuando la corté por la mitad, parecía desinflada. No podía comer la mayor parte. Mi compañero tenía el pollo al curry que sabía a salsa de curry de paquete que solía ser bueno aquí, pero necesita más trabajo no volverá otra vez

Been here a few times and im usually impressed however attended today and the chicken was a little rubbery, not the usually good food i expect from here, Chips are really good tho,id go back again just for the chips 🙂

El barco Dovenby es uno de nuestros lugares favoritos para comer en el área de Cockermouth. Sin embargo, nuestra reciente visita fue bastante decepcionante. El personal era tan amable como siempre y su servicio fue bueno. La comida, desafortunadamente, no era el alto nivel que hemos experimentado en otras visitas. El pastel de pavo y jamón estaba seco y ciertamente no fresco. Las verduras estaban empapadas y frías. ¡Obviamente eran vegetales congelados en lugar de los frescos habituales!

El personal era amable, que fue la mejor parte de nuestra visita. La comida era atroz. Entrantes: gambas y gajos de brie. Las gambas olían y comían lo suficiente como para ser corteses. Brie estaba duro y simplemente cálido. Los platos principales - filete y chuletas de tocino. Se pidió que el bistec se cocinara mediano, pero fue muy raro, se pidió que se cocinara más y un miembro del personal lo llevó de vuelta a la cocina, pero volvió casi igual. Las chuletas de tocino estaban bien, aunque todo el plato tiene jugo por todas partes, lo que hace que los chips estén empapados y no sean comestibles. La pareja a nuestro lado comentó sobre la carne rara y se quejó de que sus propias comidas también estaban secas. Informamos al personal de nuestros pensamientos en beneficio de futuros clientes y el bistec fue retirado de la cuenta. Comimos bastante temprano (6,45) cuando volvimos a casa (alrededor de las 8:30 y 8:45). La pareja estaba vomitando después de las gambas y el bistec. Sin embargo, le he informado a The Ship que, aparentemente, no había nadie allí para hablar con nadie más que el cuidador. No volveremos

When down at center parcs we decided to venture out a few days and stopped in at the ship for some lunch.

Yo era uno de los 10, que reservó una comida para una reunión familiar una noche. La mayoría ha estado aquí antes, incluido yo. Menú decente, para todos los gustos, para clientes sin gluten y muchas porciones más pequeñas para las personas mayores. La mayoría tenía entrantes, que llegaron a tiempo. La sopa estaba muy buena. Las comidas principales llegaron después de unos 30 minutos, y todos dijeron que estaban muy bien, incluido yo. Las fichas son fichas reales. Algunos mencionaron que no estaban tan calientes como podrían haber estado, posiblemente porque éramos 10. Fuimos los últimos en irnos. . . El servicio fue muy bueno, no tengo quejas.

I was travelling for business meeting and needed some lunch and went to the ship for some food and I was very impressed. The food was outstanding everyone was really friendly such a nice place would visit again next time I'm passing.

The food is great priced and the portion size are brilliant and me and my family have always enjoyed eating at the ship in great service very friendly staff will be returning soon

During a recent stay with Family in Maryport, we had a recommendation for the Dovenby ship. Service was fantastic from start to finish. 12 Adults, (2 which are vegetarian, 1 gluten free) and 4 children is not an easy task. The menu was very varied and the food came out piping hot and all together. I had a rare steak, cooked to perfection and my partner had a gammon and sausage. Portions are massive but we all still managed. Everyone at the table thoroughly enjoyed the food and the toffee meringue roulade was to die for. Will be definitely be returning.

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Meal came about 2 minutes after ordering which for hot food makes me think that it was far too quick. Cumberland sausage with fried egg and chips etc was awful, all just deep fried and greasy and just tasted of deep fat fryer. Steak pie was ok but just ok and the veg was watery and cold.
