The Ship in City of London, Westminster

Pequeño pub encantador escondido en la calle. Gran ambiente y personal amable. La comida sin embargo llegó en diferentes momentos, pero era una buena relación calidad-precio

Excellent service. Reece in the upstairs bar is fantastic. Highly recommend The Ship, make sure you get upstairs for top service and service!

I booked the venue to host a drinks party for my key customer. Our barmaid Molly was amazing, and Tania was also very helpful. We had a great evening. Thank you!

Great food and atmosphere Thanks Katie

Great pub in London, very cosy great staff

The pub is fantastic and the food delicious! We particularly enjoyed Reece's service and the Christmas spirits of the staff

Nice little old fashioned London pub, worth a visit

Great food, atmosphere, matt (bartender)

True english pub with according atmosphere. Bartender was very responsive and nice to give us girls a try of beer. Food was comforting and delicious. Pie was tasty in particular! Tables for seating could be more though.

Solid choice for fish & chips. Tartar sauce tasted fresh and homemade.

Nice old fashioned pub, dating back to the great fire of London. Sells Camden Beer too!

Un buen rato con amigos para un trago rápido. Reece era fabuloso y bastante servicial con nuestras opciones de bebidas y muy amable. El lugar es agradable y acogedor. Volveremos pronto

Great little English pub, quick services fair prices 👌🏽

Very cozy, good food and very good service! 👍 Ordered a drink and some finger food in the form of nachos, sticky chicken and calamari which was super tasty. Received a G&T which unfortunately had an aftertaste of chlorine, probably due to the ice? I didn't have time to blink before this was exchanged for a tasty genuine British G&T 😘

Perfect to try authentic fish and chips! Great service and atmosphere.

Good buzz, but quiet enough we can talk easily.

Espresso Martini with golden coffee beans - delicious! Sounds far-fetched, but it's a solid, quaint pub on the side street. Absolute feel-good factor! Beer selection very good. We had fun!

Delicious old style meat pie.Great service by Molly.

Tasty, traditional pub grub in an historical city of London pub. The service was outstanding and Victoria, our server, was so welcoming and professional. A real asset to the pub

Had an amazing time!! The bartenders Reece and Shay were most helpful and welcoming despite going through what was a very busy service!! Would 100% come again!

Very nice place, good food and great service! Recommend for a nice pint and meal

thanking you so much for being so lovely xxxx

One of the worst experiences I have had already in my entire life. The attendant treated us very poorly, or rather, it seemed like we were not welcome at the place. When we went to order the beers, she got up from a chair extremely stressed and attended to us in a very aggressive manner. At no point did we behave inappropriately; we were simply looking for a place in London to have a beer after sightseeing around the city, as we are tourists. This was practically discrimination against us, just because we were not locals. I hope the service improves, because what they did to us was appalling.

Nice relaxed pub with great beer in a quiet street of central area near monument

Después de haber trabajado para Midland Bank Overseas Branch en 60 Gracechurch Street, mi viaje al barco fue el primero, ¡aunque el pub estaba a la vuelta de la esquina! Estaba con un grupo de ex-personal en el extranjero y encontré el pub gratamente ocupado. El ambiente era agradable y mi pinta de Five Points XPA estaba en buen orden. Sin duda lo volveré a visitar.

The pub has been built into a small alley, quite authentic and with some outside seating. Its location provides a small escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Friendly service.

Unfortunately, we had one of the worst service experiences we have ever experienced, especially in a city as welcoming as London. There were four of us (me, my boyfriend and a couple of friends) and we were completely ignored when we arrived at the establishment. We stood in front of the counter waiting for someone to serve us, but the attendant didn't even make a move to welcome us. When he finally decided to assist us, the situation only got worse. She was extremely rude and impatient, barely bothering to explain the options to us or answer our questions. The service was so bad that it seemed like she was angry at serving us (and we didn't understand why, as we had just arrived and were just waiting to be served, standing). In one of the moments, he grabbed the glasses so abruptly that he almost knocked over the others that were hanging and when serving the drinks, he hit the counter so hard that the drink spilled. My boyfriend, surprised by so much aggression, even asked if she was okay, but he didn't even receive an answer. As if that wasn't enough, in the end, she still charged the wrong amount (something we only realized later). This was extremely mean and dishonest! During our entire stay in London (and in other countries) we have never been treated with such lack of respect as in this place. We are tourists, Brazilians, and we talk in English all the time (we tried at least because communication with this woman was really terrible!!!!). We definitely do not recommend this place to anyone. A regrettable experience! We went on September 28, 2024, around 4:00 p.m. and the person who made us go through this embarrassment was a woman!

Miserable camarera. Sentí que la habíamos sacado pidiendo pintas. 22 libras por 3 cervezas fue un golpe adicional. Bonito pub a la antigua. Pero agradecería una cálida bienvenida.

I ate fish and chips here for the first time. A nice pub tucked away. The store was very busy.

En primer lugar, espero que tengas la suerte de interactuar con Ester! Ella era la persona más amable que conocimos en Londres con un alma hermosa! La cerveza y la comida era absolutamente perfecto! ¡Elige este lugar! No te arrepentirás...

Great little Nicholson pub with upstairs dining. Nice owners. Good selection of beers and ales.

Love the variety of drinks. Amazing atmosphere

Lovely little pub not too far from Monument train station. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is good and reasonably priced.

Scovato un per caso tra i palazzi della City, devo dire che siamo rimasti incantati dalla storia di questo posto che dal 1873 regala emozioni al luppolo. Ottimo il Fish & chips e prezzi accessibili. Consigliato!

As others have reported, this is by far the best fish and chips. You have to try it. Plus a wonderful ambience, as you would expect from an ancient pub in London. And super friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Ordered drinks and then they immediately started closing the bar, didn’t mention to us they were closing early

Came 45 mins before they were meant to close, ordered a drink and then they began immediately packing the bar up around us. No one said they were closing early so everyone was crammed inside trying to quickly finish the drinks they just brought

Thank you for the welcome and for the service, it was very nice to come here as a tourist

Very good experience, thanks for everything ! Very good french wine and the barman was awesome :)

the location was perfect the staff were so friendly and the toilets were clean

Went here for drinks, staff were so nice, especially Reeece, good prices and such good vibes! Great service and hospitality

reece was the best ever. legend lad !!!!!!!!

Amazing London pub, well worth a visit

This was one of the best places we ate in London. My husband and I love to find "holes in the wall" so we just tried to find a pub off the beaten path. This place was absolutely stellar! I had to knock its atmosphere down 1 star because of the weird tiny bathroom. Otherwise. PERFECT place.

Nice classic old pub with a good selection of different ales and beers. Good and atmosphere and nice service

City pub, nice staff. Can't complain.

Lovely place for a pint hidden away from the beaten track prices have gone up a lot

Lovely old pub tucked away down an alley way. Small seating area so mainly tall stools & a shelf to rest your beer on. An outside area in the alley to sit at table if the weather is good enough.

Great historic pub, delicious food, good service

Had a great meal and a lovely pint or 2. Friendly staff too. Will go again when next in this part of London

Great experience, delicious food, the pale ale pie and macaroni cheese worth recommending. They accommodated the change of the garlic flatbread to broccoli with no extra charge :) Nice selection of beers, very friendly staff.

We had such a good experience taking our family here. Even when something didn't come out of the kitchen quite right, it was quickly rectified. I think we were served by Vikki who was very good. We will visit again.

Classic pub with a nice cool room upstairs. Very kind waitress and excellent food

Great place for a beer. Busy with workers. Staff friendly and a clean crisp pint

I used to have lunch here once or twice a month but unfortunately I don't get into the Square Mile so often now. I still try to visit whenever I am there. Fish & chips is particularly good but this time I tried the chicken schnitzel and also enjoyed that. Decent range of gins. I'm not really a beer drinker but get the impression those are pretty distinguished too. Wine list is short but has some fine choices. One of London's most characterful pubs and one of Nicolson's best.

Superb welcome from the young waitress. The pub dates from the 17th century and is hidden in a parallel street, which makes for a great setting. I highly recommend 👍

Delightful pub. Friendly staff. Lovely old building, good atmosphere.

Esther and Katie have great service

Lovely pub, thank you Esther for the great service

There’s not enough money in the world to get a mini fillet here. But you will get the best pint in the square mile.

Served by the wonderful Esther - a delight to be served by someone as knowledgeable and friendly as her. She's a keeper!

Great pub and great service from Reece!

Good atmosphere and good guiness

Wow friendly service, a great atmosphere, would recommend

Lovely pub where you can TALK! It’s not filled with loud music, atmosphere is great, options are many. Recommended!

Reece behind the bar was amazing with his service and made us feel welcome to the pub. He was quick to serve the whole group of us with no issues

Reece is a top geezer, great service and good customer skills

Great service by Reece, good convo sound geezer

Great service by Reece, lovely atmosphere for after work drinks

Very nice pub, delicious food and drinks. Very nice staff. Thank you

Really fantastic service, by a young lady called Molly, who bear quite a resemblance to princess Charlotte, prince William and Kate’s daughter, friendly, couldn’t do enough for you, upsold , and made us feel very welcome , thank you Molly, great food too xx

Excellent customer service! Great vibe, great pub, great location tucked away up a little side street, a hidden gem! Great range of beers and spirits, plus delicious food! Katie and James were awesome! Made my visit super fun! Will definitely be returning! Also, great place to watch the footie! 👍

Great service, friendly bar staff. Served by Reece

Exceptional service from Prav, good environment and vibes

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Ship pub in Talbot Court, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The charming atmosphere, combined with the warm and welcoming ambiance, makes it a true gem in the heart of the city. One standout aspect of my visit was the impeccable service provided by Reece. From the moment I walked in, Reece greeted me with a genuine smile and a friendly demeanor that instantly made me feel at home. His knowledge of the menu and drink offerings was impressive, and he went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was perfect. Reece's recommendations were spot on, showcasing his expertise and passion for his work. Whether it was the perfectly poured pint or the delicious meal, everything was top-notch. He was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at the right moments to see if there was anything I needed. The Ship's cozy setting, combined with Reece's outstanding service, made for an unforgettable evening. It's clear that this pub prides itself on delivering quality in every aspect, and Reece is a shining example of their commitment to excellence. I can't wait to return and enjoy more of what The Ship has to offer. Highly recommended!

Reece was a friendly bartender really looked us at a work social

Lydia you’re the best great pour

The place is located at the end of a street, in the corner, therefore very characteristic in itself. We went for a beer around 5.30pm on a Monday and it was full of men in suits and ties, so I assumed it was a very local pub with people drinking a beer after leaving the office.

Would definitely recommend. The Nourish bowl salad with chicken was absolutely superb.

Prav Reece Katie and James provided amazing service

Great atmosphere, great bevvys and even better staff

Come down to watch the Scotland Switzerland game and honestly I'm having such a wonderful evening. Bar staff are all friendly and accommodating. I spoke to each one of them and they was all very helpful. Reece, James, Prav and Lydia couldn't have asked for a better environment to watch the Euros.Food and drink reasonable priced considering where we are located in the city. Would definitely recommend to friends and will be coming back myself.

A little boozer in the city, a little oasis in the urban jungle.

The staff are fantastic . Food very good. Can't say enough of how good the owner is.

Katie was the absolute best, What a legend:)

I was stranded at 1am with a dead phone and no way to get home. Luckily I was kindly let in the store after closing to charge my phone by the wonderful Beth and Tony. They were so kind to me and made me feel very safe. Thank you to them both!

Loved the vibe of the pub! The service was great and food really good - we just had padron peppers and pulled pork fries but they were delicious. Beers are expensive but that’s probably because of the central location just next to Monument Cool part is that they have some historical explanations on the wall about the building and you find out that this pub was burned during the great London fire and then rebuilt in its original form!

Served by Prav and Esther on my day off brilliant staff xx

Katie and Reece run a top pub. The ship is place to be after a hard days work in the city.

Great food & atmosphere & service

Enjoyed my time here, the vibe was nice and the bartenders were helpful, polite and friendly. Thanks to Reece, James and Esther.

I had a great experience here, the staff were very friendly. Reece, Esther and James were exceptional on the bar, next time I’ll bring more company.

So glad to have found this hidden gem. What a beautiful pub and such friendly welcoming staff, thank you to Reece, Esther and James you are all amazing!! All went above and beyond to make sure me and my group was well taken care of and had a great time. Can’t wait to return :)

Group of 8, we came to have a drink together. Bartender was one of the most impolite person I’ve ever seen. We came in, he told us to finish a drink that was already 95% done. Then when we asked for a drink he said with disdain that they were closing in an hour. Just poor attitude overall.

Good atmosphere, really nice food, great bar staff especially called Prav&Reece! Recommended!

Nice place! Thx for the shots!!!

Incredible service, everyone is charming, especially the woman who serves the tables upstairs. Typical English place, with delicious fish and chips, perfect for a complete London experience. Highly recommended!

What a lovely quaint bar. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back

Good beers, good Runny Scotch Eggs 🖤💛

Didn't eat here but service and beer and cost was excellent. Definitely be back again.
