Just passing through the area at lunchtime today with the family (three adults, 1 teenager) for a quick drink. At the bar we were asked what we wanted to drink, so far so good! However, after we put our drinks order in, we were asked if we had booked a table... (it was 12.30pm on a Sunday afternoon and the place was half empty), anyway needless to say we hadn 't booked a table... and that was it. The 'reserved ' table to our left was for 2pm and a few other tables had 'reserved ' on them but were empty. We were not offered any of these tables on a 'temporary ' basis and as we had no table to sit at, we had no alternative but to leave. If I were the manager of this pub I would be disappointed...
Spent a late Sunday afternoon with mates at the Ship, it 's a traditional locals pub, we were served two fine looking and sumptuous burgers, and a 'proper ' Sunday roast, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. This pub is frequented by a nice crowd, offers choice of board games plus outside seating area, also great banter from the lady serving. I would highly recommend this venue if you fancy great traditional pub fare at an affordable price.
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The beer was excellent as always, and I also tried the Sunday roast for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed my roast pork dinner, which had a generous portion of meat - something that many other pubs often lack. The gravy was plentiful and I left feeling very satisfied with my meal.
Sadly due to the train strikes I’ve made many fewer visits than normal. Short break meant I could visit twice and the beer as good as ever. Proper locals pub with a great atmosphere and a warm welcome. Highly recommended.

Had a takeaway roast beef this afternoon which was absolutely handsome. The beef was lovely and tender accompanied with crispy roast spuds. Smashing Thoroughly recommend it. Thank you Tim and Caroline Rich
Back after a pandemic break but the beer and everything else still as good as ever. Well worth visiting a haven of a proper pub in an area where tourism creeps in more and more.
This hidden gem of a pub, located near Fenchurch Street, is a delightful discovery. Adorned with countless ties hanging from the ceiling, the ambiance of the place is charming.
After being refused service at two other pubs in the area because of our dog, we were grateful to be welcomed at The Ship. The downstairs area was bustling, but...

Never had a bad pint here and good to meet up with friends on both sides of the bar again. COVID measures spot on. Always happy to drink here. Recommended
First visit since a March but great to be back. Sound COVID precautions in place. Beer on top form as ever and good to see everyone again.
