I ordered gammon and chips with a side of peas and a pint of beer. Staff were really nice and OMG this food was amazing. The chips were proper home made ones and the gammon melted in my mouth 100% spot on. Hotel room was great and I would return.

This is a clean, tidy, friendly pub with a decent selection of beers wines and spirits. The menu is varied and usually there is a specials board. The servings are on the larger size and well presented and brought to you by nice friendly staff. In good weather there is a beer garden to the rear there are also a number of bed rooms

I too went with Harvey W today 14th July. Luckily we didn't order starters as when the food came on large plates there was no room on the plates as the portions were enormous. My wife and three others had two thick slices of tender beef large home made Yorkshire puddings and extra gravy was supplied without asking for It others had lamb, one had chicken and one vegetarian. I always have fish and chips which was enormous crispy and lily white, I only had a few larger chips as I didn't have room for anything after eating the fish! A very nice place with unhurried service. Highly recommended. A Wright.

Stayed here for 2 nights, rooms were extremely basic and lacking any quality furnishings and accessories. They were howeverc clean, thank goodness. At £100 per night with no breakfast, to sleep in worn out poor quality double beds, cheap furnishings, we thought the stay at the Ship was poor to say the least and a total rip off. Very very disappointed.

The Ship Inn is a cozy pub in Wylam, England, located in the north east corner. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the owner, Joanne and our waitress. Sophie were so friendly and helpful that we would eat there often if we lived in the area. A delightful place with wonderful patrons, we had the best fish and chips ever, excellent soup and salad, and another tasty IPA beer. We sat for a couple of hours and talked with the locals and the people who worked there and were treated like family. A very warm and comfortable place.

We came here when it had just opened under new management and it was second to none. We couldn't fault it, and recommended it to all our friends and family. We came back today thinking we were in for a treat. Sorry to say, it has not kept up its standards. The food was cold. Even if I say the mash and turnip is creamy, it was spoilt by how cold it was. Even the roast potatoes tasted like yesterday's cold tatties. Such a shame, because we really loved this place.

Arived at 5-00pm on a Sunday for a work visit next morning. Only to be told no food was available. Then was told no breakfast was included despite it being clearly stated on the booking site. Ate at another pub and returned to go to bed as I had an early work appointment next morning. Had to leave at 6-00am. Then found out there was George Michael tribute singer on and the windows were rattling till 11-15pm so didn't get a wink of sleep. Room being clean was the only pleasant surprise about this place.

Ok well I can honestly say the food here is the best meal out I've had in a very long time! I usually need to cover food in salt I cant remember the last place I ate that actually seasoned their food. This place however I didn't need to touch the salt cellar. I had oysters to start and they were delicious that was followed by the rare pork chop with black pudding crispy pigs head and Savoy cabbage. The cabbage was the best I've ever eaten, the black pudding had a black butter glaze which I cant describe as anything other than outstandingly flavoursome. The pork chop was moist and tender and a joy to eat! The pigs head was finely shredding pork (like pigs cheek meat) in a crispy coating and again every bite had my taste buds dancing. I have a small appetite and can never clear my plate and it was difficult to chose what bite to have next incase it was my last I managed to eat 90% the pork chop was huge so my hubby finished that for me and agreed the tenderest chop hes ever had. We were meant to eat elsewhere and they had overbooked so when we arrived they told us they had booked us a table here! I can only say I'm so glad because I dont believe anywherelse would have had me get so excited about food as the ship did!! Will definitely be back next time to stay overnight. The place is immaculately clean warm cosy and inviting on a winter night with lovely friendly staff

I had seen a great review of the food here a short while ago and so, today, my wife and I made the short drive to try it out. The reviewer was right; it's a bit special!Wylam is a lovely little village, well off the beaten track but, on a gray and rainy Wednesday lunchtime in November, it was hardly surprising to find the place empty. There is a car park at the back but I failed to find it and so managed to find a space on the main road.This is a pub. Upon walking in. it looks like a pub. It feels like a pub. It has TV screens and a big bar like a pub. This isn't a restaurant; it's a pub. Until you eat. It's a very comfortable place to site for a while and, for beer drinkers, it has a great selection of real ales as well as the usual fare. But we had called in for the food.The menu is brief but competent. We had considered picking up my mother-in-law on the way but she was busy and it's fortunate really as I doubt that there was anything on the menu that she would have leaped at; there's no battered fish and chips nor mince and dumplings. And she's of that age group who will tolerate fresh smoked salmon but consider it to be inferior to proper salmon, from a tin. I don't say that to be disparaging; it's just each to his own.We both chose the Scotch egg as a starter and it was pretty good. It was perfectly cooked (not as easy as it sounds) although my own preference is for a black pudding based case rather than the haggis used here. The home made 'broon sauce', was pretty good too.My wife's celeriac soup was spot on. A large bowl of thick and very creamy soup, laced with onion and with a truffle jam on top. The sourdough bread was just perfect and the butter was 'proper' too, although it could have done with being taken out of the fridge a bit earlier.I had a croque monsieur, and if you think that a glorified cheese and ham toastie isn't enough for lunch, you haven's seen this one. If anything, it had too much, strongly flavoured, cheese and so was just that tad overpowering but, wow, packed with succulent flavour and, again, packed onto that brilliant sourdough bread.Lots of TV chefs tell us, constantly, how important it is to use really good quality ingredients in cooking yet, without the skill to put it all together, perfectly, time after time, the result will be less than stunning. The chef here (picture proudly framed on the wall) pulls off this trick with aplomb, all the more pleasantly surprising because of its setting. Did I mention that this is a pub?The cost, with a couple of drinks, was £30 which was, in my opinion, pretty good for this quality of food.The Ship Inn may have been empty this lunchtime but I have absolutely no doubt at all that during tourist season or at holiday time, it will be jam packed. And rightly so. So please don't tell anyone about the food here; I'd like t be able to get in next time we visit!

We went for Sunday lunch here recently whilst staying with my sister in Prudhoe. She'd been before and recommended it and we were not disappointed! Sis advised us not to go for 3 courses as the plates were large and she was right - we ordered only our main course, knowing we could order dessert afterwards....I couldn't even finish my dinner, let alone a sweet - the Yorkshire puddings were huge and the vegetables a bit different and very tasty! I'd highly recommend this place but make sure to book beforehand as it's extremely popular!

Excellent pub. Amazing food. Warm, welcoming and friendly team who did all they could to make our visit here and overnight stay, something we will tell others about and encourage them to join us on our next stay. Candidate for pub of the year award? Absolutely. Thank you. Cant wait to return.

Stopped here on our wall walk. We wanted to do a side jaunt to Corbridge without having to lug our packs. We arrived before they were actually open, but No worries, they kept them safe and put them in our room. Food was delicious. Scotch egg was great, tomato salad to die for. Venison scrumpet was great! And oh, the desert! Bar was nice peaceful place to relax, room seems really nice. Big tub to soak in after long day walking. Overall just the ticket!

We visited Wylam recently and we really enjoyed our stay at The Ship. The owners and staff are so good, always a smile and nothing is too much trouble. The food was delicious, really delicious, and their new room at the back is perfect for a party. Our flight was cancelled so we satiated an extra night and turned an airline disruption into an opportunity to stay a little longer.

Highly recommend this little gem. Sunday lunch was beautiful, traditional roast beef with seasonal sides, service was outstanding staff couldn’t do enough for us. We stayed two nights, room was comfortable and bathroom/shower perfect. Don’t bypass this place when you’re in the Northumberland/Wylam area!!

The Ship Inn is simply outstanding! We dine here a good few times a month in the main restaurant and decided to book for a special family lunch for 19 (yep a big group). We booked the newly convert barn to the rear called ‘The Shed’. With its own private kitchen, log burner and chill out area, it’s the perfect place for a private gathering. The quality and consistency of food was as truly superb as ever! Paul and his team in the kitchen really do take pride in delivering home made food from the best freshly prepared ingredients. Kelly and the front of house staff give a warm and friendly welcome, and nothing is too much trouble! Our family lunch started with fantastic canapés and burger sliders; all home made to the highest standard. Our mains were sharing plates, including two incredibly delicious slow roast (overnight) lamb shoulders, which literally melted in your mouth! Deserts of Brownies, a beautiful pavlova with strawberries and a lemon tart bursting with taste! Paul and Kelly made our family lunch such a memorable event! We couldn’t recommend The Ship enough... it really is food heaven! Thanks to you both!

We've had evening meals at The Ship before but only recently been on a Sunday. The roast dinners are excellent with a good range of delicious, local meats as well as veggie and vegan options. The meat is perfectly pink and the side of veggies is so tasty - I wish I could make them like that at home! For me, the roasties could be crisper and the (huge!) Yorkies softer but my other half thinks they're perfect as they are. The game pie was epic too - so full of bold flavours and the hot water pastry was spot on. I can't describe how pleased I am by faultless pastry! Heaven. The gin menu and wine selection are great as well, although I can't profess to be an expert in those areas, I liked what I drank. I just wish I had space for more than one of the delicious puddings.

Visited in Bank Holiday Monday for their BBQ Special. As always Kelly and the team were brilliant. Sun was out so we took the dog to sit in the beer garden. Staff attentive and in hand for anything we needed, including some fresh water for our furry friend. The food was amazing. We are a greedy pair so ordered the lamb, burger and half chicken to share. Amazing! All proteins cooked perfectly with the correct amount of seasoning. The pickled Cabbage coleslaw was also a highlight. We'll be back again very soon for our regular Sunday lunch or Saturday steak night.

A welcome addition to Wylam. The guys are doing a fantastic job with a dog friendly gastro pub. We’ve eaten here many times and always found the food excellent. The staff are friendly and give great service. Sunday lunch is the best around with always a great selection of vegetables.

Outstanding value for money. The roast veg that accompanies the Sunday lunch is more than a bit good, while the friendly and helpful staff make the all round experience very enjoyable.

Overall really lovely place! Little traditional pub feel. We ordered the feast menu £25 a head.. most definitely worth it if you like a little bit of everything!

As one of a group of cyclists from Newcastle Great Park, it’s always a good stop off before the final stretch back home. Butties and a drink 👍, along with friendly service. Courtyard round the back is great when the weather allows.

Played today, Mon 26th August, Great layout, but sadly the greens are diseased and awful, and the tee boxes are terrible, very expensive bar, and no food being served, even though there was a competition on, and the bar was busy, Sadly one to miss in the future.
