The Ship restaurant in Scottish Borders

Had lunch was very good staff nice good setting next to harbour

Great restaurant and pub Well worth a visit if yo are in the area

Like another recent reviewer, a very disappointing fish and chip supper. Average quality fish with greasy batter and frankly awful, soft chips. Not helped by being served under the fish so soaking up the grease. This is not a tricky dish to get right and given the location it should be a dead cert (particularly at £17.50. Lovely service though.

Efficient and friendly service. However, the fish and chips were not good. The fries were soggy and greasy. Following our complaint, we were kindly served a second portion, equally inedible. The fish fillet was too greasy for my taste and my experience with this dish. Too bad. The haggis sweets, however, were very good. The steak pie as well.

We had been here before and enjoyed our visit. But unfortunately, today we left disappointed. Bar lady didn't seem to have any awareness of what was happening, only my wife and I in the bar area eating, and the music was overpowering, my wife had to stand outside to take an important phone call, even after 2 strong hints about the music. She didn't get what was happening, but wanted to know if we wanted dessert 😏. When we paid the bill, it had a fish donation on the bill, when asked why it was there, we were told you can ask not to donate. I feel this should have been made clear up front, not after after the event. Very bad practice, be warned ⚠️

Such a lovely Bar. Food was first class. Highly recommend booking a table

Fantastic al fresco lunch. Great quality food. Excellent service and reasonable prices too. Lovely spot on the estuary.

All three of us had the special “hot shells”. Absolutely delicious and amazing value for money! Will definitely have to come back…just hope it’s on the specials again! 🐟

I had steak and ale pie and my husband had fish and chips, both meals were so delicious. The staff are friendly and professional and the atmosphere is very relaxing. We can't wait to go back

Fish and chips are super delicious The Haggies candies were great! Unfortunately, the only alcohol-free beer was Corona. We and our dog felt very comfortable in the cozy sofa corner. Be sure to note: Dog menu :-)

FOOD The food was great, the fish 'n' chips were AMAZING, the soup was great, the kids menu was good and the steak pie was Delicious!!! STAFF The staff were polite and smiley ☺️. ATMOSPHERE I like that there are 2 parts of the cafe: Bar and Restaurant. And even though we didn't book we got a place, the waitors told us it will be long wait as it is busy but it wasn't after all!! All the sings/ names of the dishes were in style and funny. CONCLUSION I would say it is a really great place with reasonable prices (the portions are big). TIP Please book because in the busy times there might be no spaces left.

Really nice place to eat and drink....food is perfect just like the service...

Fantastic meal, great and friendly staff will definitely be back

We have been and eaten in many places around the UK and Europe. The last time in Scotland we ended up in some snide curry house in Nairn. The ship was a whole different story, its food is fresh, wholesome and provides a different perspective to the usual ‘Gastro Pub Grub’. Our food was spot on and Eyemouth has certainly got a little gem here. The prices are very reasonable also, compared to our home city of Liverpool and certainly the other city in the NW, Manchester. Congratulations, and we will be back.

Amazing food. Friendly service. Prime position. We had a seafood special from the board of Hot Shells. New experience for me and it was gorgeous. Washed down with a cold pint on a sunny day. Will return.

Had a most delicious meal with friends last night. It was absolutely perfect and the service was great too. We will be back soon!

The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Great gluten free options and very inviting atmosphere

Dog friendly, nice simple lunch good pint

My partner and I dined there last Sunday. We had the roast dinner and it was the best we had EVER had. Meat was succulent and the veg was divine. Would heartly recommend this lovely place. Staff were super too.

We enjoyed a really special meal. The quality of the food was very good, the service was fast and friendly, surroundings very comfortable and the background music was great! one veggie and one meaty meal.

Visit the first time for the pensioner lunch. Excellent value and extremely tasty. Hadn't appreciated had such a nice pub just a few miles away. Now planning another restaurant visit in the near future. Update following two more visits, food gets better and better. Always good service from staff who genuinely seem to enjoy what they are doing. Highly recommended.

Outstanding dishes, everything delicious. The honey and chilli sauce for the kebab dish is the best in the world, and the dish itself is beautifully presented. Great restaurant. Thank you very much, these are our first dishes in Scotland.

Seafood linguini and steak pie both excellent!

New menu, young chef of a high standard, I have never eaten so well in this area. Amazing pork belly.

Awful. I was hoping for a nice hearty meal, I ended up with two revolting starters and a very badly mixed cocktail. This place puts the “T” in Ship.

We had a really great meal. Made a booking and visited Saturday night. The place was busy, which is always a good sign. The restaurant was warm and welcoming. Staff were all friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and the menu was really varied with specials available too. Very good quality and reasonably priced. Excellent all round, 100% recommended.

Nice place with tasty food. It's worth visiting here and tasting Fish and chips :)

The ship never fails, steak tartare,,?? In Eyemouth well it beat most on flavour presentation and especially price, Specials regularly change but sell out quickly can’t fault it

Food was amazing,especially the Haggis starter! A cosy and warm place with a great atmosphere and freindly staff

6 of us called in at The Ship for Sunday lunch . We were shown to a table . The menu was very inviting with a good selection to choose from , plus a specials board . 3 of us selected the beef Sunday lunch ... which was so good and arrived with 2 yorkshire puddings .. perfectly cooked veg .. lovely roasted potatoes (properly cooked )and also a douphennois potatoes . 3 large slices of beef .. I can honestly say one of the best Sunday lunch I've had in a restaurant . Oue vegetarian friend selected the fish pie ,again delicious. The waiter who served us was very accommodating . Thank you to The Ship for making of day out so pleasurable . Highly highly recommend .

Saturday 23rd November 2024. 70th Birthday celebrations for a party of 5.🎈 Food amazing. Everyone had 3 courses and all enjoyed their meal😋 Staff friendly and accommodating. 5* thoroughly recommend 👌

Enjoyed two evening bar-food-style meals here. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. Although it looks like a pub, this is more of a restaurant and has a good range of dining choices, so it isn't truly 'pub grub'. Very tasty. Large portions. Excellent value. There are a range of eating places in Eyemouth. The fact we visited here twice speaks for itself.

Very much out of season so they were busy. Nevertheless the service and food was great and the decor and menu quirky. Well worth a visit.

The Ship serves up great food at reasonable prices, and the staff are happy and helpful.

Only went in for a couple of beers, but restaurant was busy, so I assume it must be descent at least.

Excellent selection of beer and a superb menu for dogs! Human menu surprisingly limited but the food looked good.

Had roast dinner, trily wonderful

Great place .. quality food .god bless Eyemouth

Really attractive prices, attentive waitress. I recommend fish and chips (which has another name).

5 Stars all the way. No faults, the service was outstanding, the young lady who served us was a lovely host, prompt and polite with our orders. The food was incredible value, the Haggis Bon Bons were a treat to start with and the Steak and Ale Pie was rich and delicious, beers were cold and tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. After our meal we even saw seals in the harbour. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in the area.

amazing meal from the specials section of the menu, three little pigs burger….it had pulled pork, huge home made burger, bacon, onion rings, saukruatte, topped with a mac n cheese croquette served with delicious skinny fries and homemade slaw….nom nom what’s not to love here

Went for an impromptu meal, place nicely busy, staff very accommodating and attentive, advised on meals, (do gf options and vegan) we chose pies and Mac Cheese and vegs and sides. All delicious, home made and lovely veg choices. Impressed and will be back.

Lovely wee place. Service was top notch. Always checking to make sure everything was okay. Had the steak and ale pie. Kids had the macaroni. Said it was the best macaroni they've ever had. Sticky toffee pudding with vanilla tablet ice cream was amazing. Would highly recommend. Dog friendly. Woman brought a bowl of water for dog and there's even a menu for dogs with different treats and dog food bowls.

Great food and friendly helpfull staff

It's a fantastic pub and restaurant. A gem. A must for all visitors to the area. Cannot fault it. Keep it up everyone at The Ship!

Excellent food as always, generous portions and not overpriced. Everyone was impressed with the meals they chose. Can't wait to return.

Fantastic, food. We were only stopping in the area for one night. But on the next table to us were a party of 4 men, who we overheard aay, they would be booking again for the following 2 nights. We will definitely book again when in the area.

Having gone to Berwick for the day and our daughter not having been to Scotland we popped over the boarder with her and came across Eyemouth almost at tea time. We had a wander on the beach, watched the seals in the harbour and then came here. Luckily it was warm enough to eat outside but the bar area although small is dog friendly. The food was really good and not too expensive. Local ales and decent choice at the bar. Lovely location right by the harbour. Staff were friendly too. A very lovely dining experience.

Very welcoming staff, clean and airy.food cooked fresh. Will be back

Food was Superb, seafood linguine was delicious, Jarl was in very good condition. Risotto was also delicious, very accommodating with our nervous dog Hector, great place to eat!

Delicious food and lovely service

May 2024: I visited here for an evening meal with my family. Great first impressions - the venue looks nice, great location and very clean and tidy. Also got a lovely welcome from the staff member who showed us to the table. The food was absolutely incredible, the steak pie was one of the best I've ever had. Portion size is generous too! Also highly recommend the haggis bon bons for starter. The interior decor in the toilet area is a sight to behold - if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean! Only downside to our visit was the pace that the staff operated at. They were constantly darting between tables, gathering plates from multiple tables at a time and very quick to serve/clear up. The (very) fast pace just slightly overpowered what would be a nice chilled and relaxed atmosphere. That being said, the food was amazing and for the price/portion size, I would highly recommend and will be back in the future.

I'm a vegan. The one dish on the menu was fabulous. Mushroom and roast leek risotto. Perfectly seasoned. Staff are friendly and attentive. Good value for money. Need to book!

Friendly staff, good food, lovely location.

Second time here food good not great, really annoyed was asking a couple outside about places to visit after having food and beverage outside in this pub, hubby went over for ice creams, some Hadrian shouting not allowed, seriously lost customers and customer next year

Delicious fish and chips and a pint of real ale shandy! What Sundays are made for

Just had a lovely meal, reasonably priced and very tasty. Even though they were incredibly busy they fitted us in, we were sat in the bar area on a sofa but that didn't matter we managed just fine. The food was perfect, the sea bass special was excellent. The apple dumplings were well worth every calorie!! Service was spot on not rushed but attentive. Really something quite special for a pub in a small harbour village - entirely (but welcomely) unexpectedly good.

Went for lunch.17 gbp for the worst fish and chips that we have ever had.undercooked.When we complained, a older member of staff.(age about 70) was extremely rude and refused to replace our lunch.Please avoid,more shocked about the old bag that was so rude.

Great dinner! Lovely venue and quality food

Went here for anniversary dinner. Food was absolutely brilliant. Big portions, cheap and excellent value for money. Would advise to book in advance as gets busy. Would 100% recommend. Steak pie / mussels / Haggis bon bons. All excellent. Area to sit outside and enjoy harbour view also with a few drinks.

The fish and chips is simply incredible. We drove here just for that and their attentive service. Feels like ‘traditional’ pub. Will go here again when in the area!

Excellent place, would visit again

The place is amazing or very nice

Four of us ate here, passing through the town for a night’s stay. Having been told that the inside was full, and that we’d have to eat outside (it was spitting with rain), we waited 15 minutes and tried again with a different server, and found that inside there were now several open tables: more experienced staff might have said “we’ve got a table coming up soon, would you like a drink at the bar”. Now seated, two of us ordered fish and chips, only for the server to realise half way back to the kitchen that they had run out. So we chose the “Steak ‘n real ale” pie: this was a curious concoction, as the beef was bland and a tad dry, yet the gravy was distinctly salty: presumably the two elements were assembled late in the process. The puff pastry top was good though. The Macaroni cheese was certainly cheesy, and served in a decent quantity. Scampi too was OK. The chips were good. For drinks, the glass of white was OK, but no more. Belhaven’s “Best” bitter is said in the brewer’s blurb to be “a sweet malty beer bursting with notes of toffee and caramel”), but this pint was disappointingly flavourless and thin: if that’s truly their best, this is one beer to pass by. We didn’t worry about desserts as we’d spotted an Italian ice cream shop just down the road. A little over-priced for what it actually was (£16 each main dish), this was average pub food, but no more than that.

Nice atmosphere and good food service,

Great dinner by the harbour. Spotted some seals enjoying their dinner in the harbour too!

Absolute 10/10 it’s Perfect place for a sunny day a nice family meal food is amazing definitely worth the visit 5 stars

We had a lovely meal at The Ship. I had seafood linguine and my partner had the salmon curry. Both were very tasty. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We will definitely go back again.

Very nice food, and welcoming staff

Had to sit outside , but fine as a warm evening - fully booked inside although a couple of free tables outside the restaurant. Get there early as the kitchen closes at 8. Could have done with a few more coveted tables outside, but Eyemouth seemed to shut down early.

Second time we have visited here. We had drinks and a meal outside, good friendly service, good beer and excellent food. Also our dog was able to visit with us A1+👏😊

Decent place. Food was good overall, though seafood linguine lacked much flavour in the noodles. The chorizo special was good. Haggis Bon Bon’s were tasty and well presented. Menu is a bit confusing, with a nautical theme, yet the sea bread was not at all sea-based. Beer selection was basic, nothing really ‘crafty’ when compared to other places these days, but fine - the Ice Breaker was solid. Good, friendly service. Decor is clean and modern, but a bit soulless. This isn’t a cosy, welcoming place you might expect from the outside, but more modern in the Ikea-vibe of things. A bit of a miss, perhaps. Good but not great for the price.

Great wee meal. Busy so couldn't get in the restaurant but sat in the bar. Food lovely and would definitely go back

A visit to the Ship is always part of our itinerary when on holiday. With two young children it can sometimes be a worry about taking them into restaurants but this place has never been an issue. In fact the boys love it. Clean, bright and accommodating. The food is lovely and great value. Staff are friendly and more than happy to respond to any requests. Once again we were not disappointed.

A bit overpriced for average food

Good location. Food beautiful, very tasty. We had a starter between us and a main each but couldn't fit a pudding in as so much food 😋

delicious food, and super friendly staff. Highly recommended👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌

Been here a few times & I still love it

Family and pet friendly local . Stopped off for a wee drink, and It was relaxing , with an amazing beer garden with table and benches and also huge comfy couches . Really nice place

Service and food was great but the batter on the fish was very greasy

Best Steak & Ale pie I’ve had in years. Very welcoming and dog friendly too.

Just had a non alcoholic beer & a coke for my partner

Sadly the food was not as good as it could have been if it had been cooked a bit longer to made the chips crispy and batter on fish better. Desert was disappointing

A little in the pricey side, but nice food and friendly staff. Would go back

First time in the ship food was excellent and staff very welcoming and friendly best steak pie I've ever eaten

Call in at Eyemouth to walk the dog on the beach. We walked around the harbour which was lovely, saw the memorial to the 129 fishermen that lost their lives in 1881 very moving. Went to the Ship Inn, dog friendly, the food was great the beer great and it is a must for fish lovers.

Unfortunately the fish and chips were undercooked and sent the chips back. The oil needed to be hotter and cooked for another 5 minutes.

There's a lovely & very comfortable outdoor seating area facing the harbour to enjoy in good weather.

Fun seaside atmosphere and friendly staff. They found us a seat in the bar last minute. Delicious avocado toast, good selection of whisky, and amazing ice cream.

Good quality food at a good price. But you must book a table..

nice service, good and atmospheric music and very delicious food.

A successful break for lunch! We had the Shetland mussels and then fish and chips. Both have a very fine taste. The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was designed with a lot of love. Gladly again!

The food was incredible 😍! Would 100% recommend ! Compliments to the chefs 👩🏼‍🍳

Food is absolutely delicious, restaurant is relaxing and friendly.

Beautiful food, lovely decor, great staff!

Delicious food tonight. Seafood linguine particularly good. Very reasonable prices.

Just had starters as a light lunch, very tasty. Very pleasant, friendly service. Whole premises spotlessly clean.

We ate here after looking at fabulous reviews sadly my fish was overcooked,inedible however the waiter noticed this and removed it from the bill. Hence 4 star review my husband's meal was very good. By the way he had fish too. We would gladly return.

The restaurant was very busy but we had booked. Service was speedy and the staff were all kept busy. I had mussels as a starter followed by a very nice Salmon, king prawn and sweet potato Panang curry. Just the right amount of spice to taste all the ingredients. We will certainly be back.

It was fantastic 👏 the best food I have tasted 😋 and the service was very good too x and the toilets were very clean and beautiful xx
