The Ship Wylam in Northumberland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

Great birthday/Sunday lunch. Lovely food and pint, friendly welcome and canny craic watching the football in a proper pub.

Excellent Sunday lunch, management and staff could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended for dining.

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.

Perfect family meal out. Great service, lovely food, warm and welcoming atmosphere- I highly recommend!

Been wanting to go here for ages to try their Sunday dinner and we were not disappointed. The food was fresh and of excellent quality, the best beef I have had for ages! The Pub itself is very cosy, just what we needed on a cold winters day. We will definitely be back!

Visited with my mother for lunch. We had a delicious turkey dinner and scamper, from their 2 for £20 menu. Incredible value for money, enhanced by the warm fire and the friendly welcome from the staff. I would thoroughly recommend this pub and will definitely return.

We had a fab meal here. The weather was horrendous outside, pouring down but the pub was really inviting. I had the salt n pepper chicken burger and my husband had the steak n ale pie. Both meals were delicious and cake really well presented on the plate. The service was first class, very attentive without being overbearing. Would definitely recommend.

Went for Sunday lunch, from entering the management and staff made you feel at home. Roast sirloin of beef (2 slices) put on top of each other you have a perfectly cooked approx 12oz pink steak. Veg and Yorkshire puddings cooked to perfection. They have many specials during the week. It is about 12 miles away but we will definitely be returning.

First visit today , and I must say a pleasant one , lovely friendly staff , the lunchtime offer of 2 meals from a selective menu for £20 was both value for money and delicious, the puddings for £7 each are generous servings , definitely be back , recommended

My wife and I had Sunday lunch very good quality and service. Ok it’s a pub essentially but a good one . The staff are friendly and polite. It’s clean and hood parking facilities. Would I go back:- YES it’s worth a visit. Nice drive from South Tyneside nice area.

Thought I would try here since new owners took over and brilliant. Very polite and friendly Scottish guy behind bar. Nice service, great food, couldn't eat all of mine but well worth it.

Such a contrast from our last visit here a few months ago when I had the best fish and chips ever and my husband had a delicious cheese soufflé Tonight our food was extremely disappointing -it was obvious that there was no cooking involved

Serving staff were friendly, food was delayed due to a large order but staff explained this to us ahead of time. The food itself was really average, due to the costs we naively expected to have an above average experience but it was no better than your standard mass pub/resteraunt chain.

One of four traditional pubs for locals and visitors to experience and enjoy however despite this pubs great potential it is currently being completely spoilt by an extremely rude bully of a proprietor that has no idea how to treat people with respect please steer clear .

Excellent food, homemade gravy, perfectly cooked lamb - little bit pink, tender chicken cooked on the bone. Great service and a little boxed orchid gift for Mother's Day

We stayed at on our walk across Hadrian’s Wall and this place was ver clean, and the staff was delightful. Above all, the food and beer was excellent. Highly recommend.

My title pretty much sums up this pub. It has a lovely atmosphere and the locals are all welcoming and happy to chat! Gordon behind the bar, one of the owners, was very friendly and chatty too. The pub has two log burning fires, is...

What a warm and cosy pub. The staff were so friendly and chatty, we felt so at home. The food is outstanding, much better than you'd expect from a 'normal pub'. We'll be back regularly I suspect.

Visited for an early dinner one Saturday, finding ourselves in Wylam with a few hours to kill. I was expecting the usual average but not great sort of pub food, but was really delighted to find we'd stumbled on a bit of a gem. Great...

Having stayed here before, I rebooked, looking forward to my usual friendly stay. I had driven 5 hours to be greeted by friendly new landlords, it was at this point they informed me as it was burns night it was pre booked meals only. This...

Great Burns night in the Ship. Fantastic entertainment, the food was exquisite and the new landlords were very welcoming. We will be going back very soon.

By far the best Sunday lunch in the area, we will be back as often as we can. Each course was perfect and a lovely atmosphere.

Hearing of the new owners and chef arriving here over the past couple of months/weeks we decided to go and venture in to offer our custom. We were not disappointed, in fact we had a brilliant evening. The pub has a lovely, warm, cosy and...

We had a family get together in this lovely country pub. The staff were very warm and welcoming and the food was fabulous.

I have eaten at the The Ship about three times so far, not a full blown meal as yet, just snacking having been too busy with Christmas! However, here lies the proof of an excellent Chef, one who takes care of the little things as...

This pub looks cosy from the outside and it is indoors. You get a lovely warm welcome when arriving and the service was fantastic. The food was delicious and I couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely be returning.

It's a hard task to live up to the people who ran The Ship previously. So. There is work to be done to bring the food up to a decent standard. Tempura fish is so large that one person cannot eat it. It was laid...

This email was sent to both the Ship Inn & lastminute.com on 30 September, by my partner. There has still not been any reply or refund and therefore this matter is now being escalated accordingly. On Saturday 3rd September 2022 I made a booking for...

Great, home cooked, good value food. The menu is standard pub food but the quality is way beyond that. We had burgers and risotto. It was made to order. The burger was thick and tasty made with proper beef. The risotto was rich and creamy....

Stayed here one night as part of a walk. We were made very welcome. The room was great- comfortable, spacious and spotless. Breakfast was amazing!

From the moment we popped our head in the door to check whether our dog was welcome (which he was), the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or attentive. Two of us are vegetarian and we’re offered great choices- mine being a cauliflower curry which...

Stayed here last night and it was fantastic. Excellent staff, outstanding food and a really nice atmosphere in general around the place. We will definitely be returning and recommending The Ship to our colleagues.

Nice pub Inn, nice room, nice rates. nice village and staff very friendly and helpful until after sitting in bar for three hours I was asked to move to different table are due to table having table been taken by a party. Not impressed. Happy...

We stopped off here for one night while walking the wall and found the place absolutely fine. Our room though small was spotless and had everything we required. We also enjoyed a very pleasant evening meal, I guess my only observation would be that the...

Nice lager, terrible food Went here yesterday. My sister ordered a burger and was told by the waitress it comes pink so my sister asked for it to be well done. Me and my dad got the steak in ciabatta, it was rare and full...

We had a Sunday lunch booked. On arrival it was warm and smelt of Sunday Lunch! A nice welcome and the service which followed was equally good. We thought the menu choices were excellent, as was the choice of wines. Our starters were nice, and...

Excellent food with great seasonal choices and good choice of booze. Nice, helpful staff. But why are multiple TVs on showing rolling news/sport? Completely unnecessary and ruined the ambiance. Would go back but TVs ruin the vibe

I have read some good reports about this pub,but due to our bad experience on Saturday 1st Jan 2022, at approx 12.10. I could never endorse the reviews. My partner and I called on on speck hoping for a bite to eat, we were told...

We stayed here for two nights with teens and dog, ate in the bar on the first night with other family members. Delicious meal, couldn’t fault it, impeccable, friendly service. Breakfast was hot and freshly cooked with quality ingredients. Rooms clean and well presented, and...

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights in order to attend our niece's wedding and ate here on our first night. It was a delicious experience that show-cased much of the northern culinary fare. Top Rib-eye beef & Girolles with brilliant fat 'triple-cooked'...

Fabulous place to stay. Comfortable and clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Great dinner and fabulous breakfast to set you up for a day’s walking!

Can’t fault the place. I have been a few times before and took the whole family last night plus our 2 dogs. They were all very impressed. They can be hard to please when eating out but the Ship didn’t let me down. We had...

We are very impressed with the food . The special was braised lamb shoulder . It looked and tasted great . The burger was fantastic as well with truffle Mayo and chunky double cooked chips . The scotch egg with haggis too start was perfectly...

Booked a table for two + border collie. Warm, no-fuss welcome. I had rarebit, wife had heritage tomatoes, both followed by halibut. I love fish and this must be up there with the best meal I have ever eaten. Couldn’t fault the place. The staff...

We were staying at a B&B nearby and booked for dinner. It was superb. We both had halibut with hot smoked salmon and cucumber in a lovely sauce. It was beautifully cooked with new potatoes and beans. We were too full to have a dessert...

I was looking for some where to eat in Wylam and need somewhere to park they answerd in minutes. So I thought that they were worth trying. I wasn't disappointed I am glad I went. Lovely friendly people and excellent food and service. My friend...

Doesn't look like it from the outside but this is a real gastro pub, limited menu and good if had been more choice but there were 4 of us eating and everything was very good. Had an unusual dessert - cheese with honey soaked malt...

Stayed at The Ship inn to start Hadrian's Wall Trek. Ideally situated with train link to Newcastle Central and then onwards by Taxi, bus or Metro to Wallsend the start of the path. If you make the first section of the wall walk to Heddon...

Visited The Ship for a booked evening meal in a party of three, The table service was very slow (I have witnessed slow service on a previous visit). The fillet steak was on just warm and cooled to cold whist eating it. The toilets (male)...

We had a varied menu selection and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The portions were exceptional and will gladly go back any time in the future

Our planned Christmas lunch got derailed at the last minute and were left wondering what to do. The Ship offered a Christmas lunch “take- out” and we ordered one. What a fantastic package. Everything was prepared, packaged and presented in a way that we had...

What an awesome pub, absolutely immaculate, COVID19 safe, meals were amazing, had venison dumplings best meal I've had in a long time, breakfast porridge with whiskey and honey.....delicious. decoration was very tasteful nautical theme throughout, room was fab. Thank you Kelly...great hostess and team....definitely recommend...

If you haven’t tried The Ship for good you need to. Sensational. The dishes are really well thought out and balanced. The quality is amazing. Lovely setting, friendly, helpful service, great selection of drinks and fantastic food. A must try!

We booked a table at this restaurant 9 days before visiting and travelled quite a distance on the evening. When we arrived they did not have any knowledge of our booking and the restaurant was full. Most disappointing. But we were richly rewarded by going...

Due to COVID this was only place available near Hadrian's Wall trail, but worth the extra hiking as you can cut over the next day and connect once again! The room was spacious, bright, with comfortable beds. Plenty of food options if the pub downstairs...

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch which is different from all the rest. Service was great. We will be back!

We arrived on a Thursday which turned out to be 'Steak Night' - Steak and chips for two and a bottle of wine - £50. Seemed a good deal. But....a small tub of Bearnaise Sauce and a little dollup of cress doesn't cut it for...

great food in this friendly pub. carefuly selected menu and they all look to be winners, mine certinly was. level entrance. decent selection of beers what more could you want.

Happened to be walking in the area and chose this place for lunch. The staff were warm and friendly and though there were no vegan options on the menu they wee happy to veganise the beetroot risotto for me. The little beer garden out the...

We always visit the ship inn when we pass through Wylam, the food is delicious and the girls are so welcoming and provide brilliant service. It’s a gorgeous pub and the back area is lovely in the summer!

Every morsel was delicious and couldn't be faulted.I had haggis scotch eggs with brown sauce to start, very light and loved the brown sauce. My husband had chicken liver pate, again a big hit. For main course I had turbot whilst my husband had chicken butter curry. Both were delicious.A great destination for foodies.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch, probably the best we've had. Takeaway just as good as eating in. There was a little wait but it was well worth it, thanks to Vicky while we waited in the sunny beer garden. The food quality is top notch and generous portions. Pork belly is amazing with crispy tasty crackling. Great Covid-19 precautions in place, Thanks we will be back.

Visited for lunch today. Sat in the sun in the beautiful beer garden. Excellent, polite service with a smile, great and amazing food. Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed every single morsel, it’s a real gem of a place.

This pub advertises “good food.” The food is SO MUCH BETTER than that. We had the scotch egg with broon sauce - have it. Steak and chips - the steak was beautiful. Tender and flavourful, but also light and perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly, efficient and generally perfect. Thank you for a great meal!

Had a fantastic roast beef dinner again today. Great yorkshire pudding as always and the beef was beautiful. Thanks so much for continuing your service in the community during these difficult times! We all appreciate it :)

We had a 1 night stay at The Ship. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. We didn't stay for breakfast but we throughly enjoyed a 2 course dinner the food was outstanding. The bar is very well stocked and maintained . We can't wait to visit again . Thank you !

I stayed here whilst on a business trip and had and evening meal and breakfast here. The service from the staff was amazing, everything I wanted they bought to me. I did not have to wait very long for the food and it was amazing when it arrived. It tasted like it had been prepared by an individual rather than a machine. Everything was very well cooked and all of the food was fresh. The same applies to breakfast too which was incredibly nice and set me up for the day along with the individual cafetiere of coffee. I cannot fault the Ship Inn

2 nite stay just like to thanks yous all for your excellent food & service first class room nice & big & spotless shower perfect . George

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 stayed for bed, breakfast and evening meal, the evening meal was absolutely delicious.. Excellent.. (unlike my drunken behaviour!)

We stopped at this restaurant last week and were treated to a delicious lunch. My wife had the half pint of prawns with sourdough bread while I had the burger. Service was excellent and speedy.

Just back home after a FANTASTIC Sunday Lunchtime visit. The Food, was as Always Fantastic, the Service as Always was 1st Class and the Beer was Spot on. All in all EXCEPTIONAL...….we love it here , that's why we keep going back, without doubt the Ship is the Best place to eat for miles around !

Our first time here and not our last. I had the vegetarian option, Gnudi, and it's rare that my meal is as good as the meat options. Time and effort put into making a great original meal for this vegetarian and something I haven't had before. My husband's meal also top notch. Lovely lady looked after us. Can't recommend highly enough.

Wanted a good, traditional English pub B&B;, not a chrome and plastic disco, and we made it !!!! What a fabulous stay we had. Nothing "pushy", nothing too much trouble. Bright and cheery room, with a great bathroom. Buuuut.....it does not stop there...the food is superb. Well cooked, well presented, and so tasty. Unique.

this is a great pub with a big warm welcome and lovely rooms that serves delicious food and well kept beer. There is ample parking at the rear.

Lovely pub. Stayed here on our Hadrian's Walk. Very friendly welcome lovely room and superb Sunday lunch (we are Peceterians). Good choice of beer.

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!

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.

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.

The food was so good it made both my husband and I want to cry.

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.

Very small menu not much choice.

Visited for dinner with my partner and her mum. Great selection of drinks, a warm, friendly welcome. The service and food were nothing short of excellent. Will be back time and again, thank you!

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.

We stayed here with our friends whilst attending a wedding at Matfen hall.

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!

Visited last night to attend a unique event,with some friends. The idea was that the chef worked in partnership with a local business/ charity to upcycle food that would have been destined for waste. The food is donated to The Pickle Palace and usually goes to their pay as you feel markets. The aim of the event was to spread the word about the amount of food that could be used is wasted,and to showcase the skills of the chef. And oh did he do that! We were encouraged to all order different dishes to be shared,each one a delight. Prawn cocktail,hummus,ox cheek fritters,spicy chicken wings,bresaola to start. Then came pork and chorizo tagliatelle,Moroccan lamb stew and the most delicious faggots,all served with imaginative and different vegetables.Just when we thought we couldn’t eat another morsel,out came desserts ! White chocolate cheesecake,bread pudding with proper custard and apple crumble with gooseberry and elderflower ice cream. At the end of the meal we were invited to pay what we felt it was worth,which was’every penny!’We would all like to take our hats off to this clever and talented chef,and to The Pickle Palace ladies for the work that they do. Also worthy of a mention are the friendly,knowledgeable staff who made it all look effortless, though I’m sure it wasn’t.I hadn’t visited this restaurant before,but will most definitely return to sample the normal menu. Thank you all for a great evening.

This a cosy typical pub with efficient staff. Our Sunday dinners came with beetroot, cabbage, mashed carrot and separate leeks on a cheese sauce. Most of the adults enjoyed this but it was less popular with the kids. Be warned, the lamb and beef were very pink although the halibut was voted 'delicious'. Puds were lovely, if a little lacking in the custard department :-).

The pub in Wylam that we normally visit no longer does meals and the landlord whole-heartedly recommended The Ship instead. It's a lovely, well-appointed pub with an upscale menu and prices to match. The service was perfect, and we had the pub to ourselves. The drinks are way over-priced, but the food was very good. They offer the most authentic Caesar Salad that I have ever had complete with anchovies. My husband had a burger that was overpriced as it did not include a side like chips or salad. £30 for lunch is a bit dear for my purse, but it would have been fine for an evening meal.

Just home after an OUTSTANDING Lunch at the Ship...…..the Pickled Oysters were simply to Die For as was everything else we had to eat, Great Beers and FANTASTIC Service to, we can't rate the Ship Highly enough !

We visited today for Sunday Lunch and it was amazing. Great quality of food cooked to perfection and in a manner that you walked out feeling that you had eaten some incredibly tasty food. You also felt that the portion size was plenty for anyone. Your choice of meat or fish came with loads of vegetables which were lovely.
