I've been visiting the Ship for many years now but the present owners are the best! So friendly, amusing and attentive. They have improved the decor too and it's looking good, inside and out. We had lunch and the food was freshly made, exactly as we'd asked for and reasonably priced. It was quiet today (Thursday lunchtime) but I'm sure, that as the weather improves, this pub will be very popular with walkers (a lovely canal walk) and other visitors wanting good food and drink, great hosts and a beautiful setting.
Lovely welcoming staff. Nice environment. Really friendly waitresses. Went last night as a start to the bank holiday weekend. While we did wait a little longer than expected for our food the waiting on staff really looked after us and were fab. When the food arrived it was worth the wait. Been to the Ship a few times for food and last nights really stood out. Shame the bank holiday sun wasn’t shining as outside looks ready for summer. See you soon Ship Inn.
Had heard good vibes since Phil and Helen took over and did Thursday quiz night recently which was very good. So a sunny Sunday afternoon popped to beer garden. Plenty of room and choice of beers. Pleasant staff and very helpful. Opted to pub lunch from varied menu and from cheeseburger and fries for myself and wife on gammon egg and chips we thoroughly enjoyed. Very tasty, decent portion. Recommended to pop by whether a drink or meal.
Unfortunately a massive let down since I last came, long wait times and the food was below average. Seems to be understaffed, and staff looked incredibly stressed. The only plus from this trip was more drink choices since last time I came. Hope this is just a bumpy start for new owners and will sort it out soon as such a shame as a lovely pub and location.

Called in for lunch. Food very average. Service was unfriendly from someone who would benefit from some customer service training. What yous havin '? Very unwelcoming. Moved off a wobbly table to one slightly less wobbly and had to put my coat back on as pub was freezing. Couple on a neighbouring table seemed to have the same experience so not just us!
service was great, very friendly and the pub was beautiful and cozy, beautiful decorated for christmas. I was just disappointed by eating especially the steak was £16 and was small, fat and hard! my mother got gammon, which was okay, but nothing special.
We really did enjoy our lunch. We had Prawn sandwiches and the prawns were delicious and so many of them. And home made Sweet potato and coconut soup I would really recommend it . The service was excellent. And such a lovely setting right by the Canal.
hadn't been here for a while, but certainly wasn't disappointed. as always, the employees are as friendly and welcoming. came here for early silvester meal. we both chose the steak. could not fail. so delicate and perfectly cooked.
