Great carvery had today, beef was out of this world, cauliflower cheese was amazing, super cheesy. You could tell top quality ingredients and produce was used. The Staff were super friendly, even offering our little girl some complimentary cake after. Really cosy atmosphere, perfect for your Sunday. Will 100% be going back, what a gem to find

Went for the carvery today and wasn't disappointed! Tender beef and fresh tasting veg both cooked to perfection. I couldn't fault any of the food and all topped off with good beer, friendly faces and welcoming service. So glad this kitchen is back, up and running - this is what local pubs are all about 😀

Visited for the carvery, made aware on arrival that the beef was quite tough due to change in supplier, but it was really tasty and not too bad! The veg was nice, and the gravy was lovely. We didn't have a pudding. The alcoholic drinks we had tasted very watered down sadly, the pub is old and ful, tables were clean and staff friendly. Would like to try the menu during the week.

Hadn’t been here for a few years so booked for their Sunday carvery and looked forward to it. Sadly not value for money…..the beef was carved very thinly but that didn’t stop it from being very tough….the carrots were hard and the roast potatoes were not very good at all. I think many people will be of the same opinion as our group…..very disappointed and won’t be going back again !!!

Quick service when we entered, ordered drinks & paid for carvery before being given little tickets for the chef when going up for our meals. The tables were pretty full,but by the time we'd finished the place was empty!, even though we'd booked for 2 o'clock. The tables were so sticky our napkins had stuck to the table !, Food was ok, gammon & turkey was cooked very well & was lovely & soft, but beef was very chewy & couldn't eat it 😔. The Yorkshire puddings very impressive. Roast potatoes weren't really roast potatoes!, swede & carrot mix was watery, apart from that I enjoyed it,would go again if the place has been deep cleaned, new carpet & some paint would help a lot, plus more atmospheric lighting .

Goodness. We read the reviews and heard from others about the place and had high expectations. Too high unfortunately. Perhaps it was an off night, but expensive watered down drinks, slow food service and lacklustre. A shame, will perhaps try again another day, but not for us this evening.

Very disappointed with the carvery here. We paid £16.95 each for large carvery. Turkey was very tasty & soft, but not many veggies. And the place was absolutely filthy. Tables were sticky, carpet looked grubby. And the women's toilets were dire. Filthy. The doors were dirty, needed a good clean, we elbowed the doors. So 5/10. Not going there again.

This was a good carvery, I like that there's a small or large plate option rather than 'kids' and 'adults'. All of the trimmings were decent, tasty and fresh, nothing soggy or stodgy. A good variety to choose from. A nice rich flavoured gravy and well stocked sauces for the full works. There were three meats on offer (beef, pork, turkey) served with the nice option of crackling as well. Massive Yorkshire pudding which was delicious. It's a really easy carvery, well designed to keep things moving, we had no wait at all but it was very quiet when we were there.

A great little pub. The restaurant is always busy Sunday lunchtime. We booked a table for 1.00pm. The restaurant was full but the main bar was almost empty so we moved to a table in the bar. Plenty of space. The chairs were low and the staff gave my mother a cushion. The food was very good - plenty of choice. Good value for the money. The weather was good so we took our drinks to the tables outside. There is a garden with more tables across the car park. My mother took a shine to the glass she was given with her G&T; and asked if she could pay for the glass. She was given one for nothing. One of our favourite places for Sunday lunch.

The cutlery was dirty. The waitress was rude. Despite being first in and ordering, it took 45 minutes for food to arrive. The steak knife struggled to cut through the steak because it was so tough so wasn't eaten. When we asked to take it off the bill we were told it was 2 for 1 so I'd only pay for one anyway. I refused and eventually was offered to pay half price for one meal. The ship is walking distance and could have been somewhere to eat on a regular basis, as it is we won't ever go back there. And after discussion with the table of 8 next to us, neither will they. Avoid!

Came to The Ship on 25th March and bought two drinks. Unfortunately to find they over charged me when I checked my statement the following day. I paid with contactless pay so I did not check or was supplied with the card machine. I politely called them the following day to make them aware of their error and was accused by a gentleman called Mark that I must of bought more drinks. I asked him to review the CCTV should he dispute my claims and was told again in a rude manner that he did but not for £4.50. At the very least I would of expected a polite conversation. Luckily the bank are going to refund this amount and The Ship will ultimately have to claim this back.

We decided quite late 2.30pm whilst out on a Sunday to go out to eat. I checked the website and saw their serving times, knowing it gets busy I phoned up to check space. They had a table free and said no problem we'll hold it for you. We arrived, we were seated quickly and joined the queue for the carvery. Nothing ever seems to run low and food is constantly replenished. We weren't disappointed, a choice of 4 meats and veg selection. There's usually a lovely extra, this week was a sausage in mushroom and onion gravy, previously there's been a steak and onion gravy. We all left incredibly fat and full and happy.

On paying I was informed that the children's meals did not fall into the two for one and had to pay full price for mine an £6.99 for hers, I did protest and state that if she had ordered a burger from the main menu it would have been include. My advise to any adult going with a child order their meal from the main menu and save yourself £6.99.

Not been to the ships tavern for some time,pleasantly surprised the food was good and was very pleased to find out that when you buy one meal you get the other completely free.I would suggest that the meal deal is better advertised as it is great value.Worth a visit.

Came for a family meal on a Sunday and felt like we were imposing on a family by just turning up at their house and expecting food and drinks. The ladies behind the bar were unhappy and unhelpful, and sometimes rude like we were an inconvenience to them. The soft drinks tasted gassy but were replaced free of charge, my whole family felt uncomfortable at the bar and had to often repeat our orders even though it was fairly quiet and we weren't asking for anything unusual. The only positive things were the guy doing the carvery had a great sense of humour and the food was of a good standard. Not going to rush back as don't think I can be bothered with the hassle of feeling like unwelcome guests

One of the dearest pubs around, but a friend, who drinks here, recommended it some time ago, so one evening we MTBed it over from Woolwell.Once you get past all the scruffy smokers sat outside the front door, and the stench from the toilets, you're into the grotty Lounge area and on your way to the bar, if anybody lets you near it, that is.My inner self was shouting at me to turn back, but I'm an optimist.The staff can't seem to be ar5ed to dust the beer pumps, they are polite but unfriendly with customers.Oh well. Not a great start, but the food and drink will surely make up for it.Oh Christ. No!The Doom Bar ale was awful, so I swapped it for Otter which wasn't much better.The food isn't of very good quality, you must be an idiot to return and spend your hard-earned money there.Not only that but the kitchen staff stand behind the bar knocking shots back and swearing loudly at the end of their shifts.Pi55-poor behaviour.Nobody begrudges them an after-work drink, but this is too much.Having been previously a Pub and Hotel Owner, I have to wonder what sort of Management model is at work here.Are they trying to run the business into the ground?Never again.Never.Ever.Again.

Went this evening with all my family. They gave us a lovely big room, the carvery was on outstanding and tasted amazing and all the staff were so helpful carrying the older family's plates for them! My new favourite carvery destination 10 out of 10 thanks

2 4 1 off of the main menu (not the carvery) is great value for money and the meals are of a really good standard.Took some house guests their on a Sunday evening and they all said how much they enjoyed it as well.Always a friendly welcome.

Wow what a place , I thought I was in some exotic place on the Spanish / Italian coast. Great views and great food. Went for dinner and then came back the next day for brunch it was so good. Food is excellent and really well priced. Highly recommend the blue black burger, calamari, crab pot and patatas bravas and there are lots of options for kids aswell . Excellent venue, amazing view and delicious food , highly recommend visiting this place .

10 out of 10 for Dave, 9.8 for Dan and 55 of 56 for food. Family time with the family, priceless. Have you ever seen a meal and wanted to become a part of it. I have. I loved every single delicious bite! Great value for money.
