Lovely pub with excellent food and service. Afternoon bar food is delicious.

The new owners have opened up the bar area and quickly turned around the decor. It's been done ok but not great but is an improvement. I had a glass of Malbec which was on tap and it was undrinkable. The bar staff exchanged it for a better one without any fuss. They served run of the mill ales and lagers. It would be good if they had a better variety of ales. I didn't have any food here so can't comment on that.

Quick Friday night dinner. Pub has just been renovated and looks great. Service was good, and pub (not restaurant!) is dog friendly. The moules were delicious, but the sausages were a little dry.

Bangers and mash was not good, the sausage was pretty gross, very tough skin and overpowering flavour which made it inedible. Gravy very salty, mash was okay and couple of peas and couple bits of cabbage was okay,

Not sure about the negative reviews - been coming here for a while and the refit was very overdue - it's been nicely done, good atmos and real fires, staff very friendly and food was well above average gastropub quality. Lovely dog-friendly seaside pub now.

We were really excited to see that the Ship had been taken over but at the same time thought the management were absolutely on it or would be over promising and under delivering by offering everything from breakfast..Went for breakfast to be greeted by the staff who went above and beyond to tell how they weren’t ready and at this point we should have left.First response when the hoover was turned off was - ‘breakfast!?’ There’s only enough for five full English today.Fast forward a good 45 mins and after our dog had been offered water twice and the main focus was lighting candles we got our drinks order (that didn’t include decaf coffee because there wasn’t any) not very closely followed by snotty eggs, overwhelming fennel sausages and all the other offensive bits of a breakfast that makes you want to go home and wish you’d never left the house. No butter for toast - asked for ketchup 3 times.. got told to sit down it’s coming . All in all a totally painful experience for nearly £50 and we definitely won’t be going back which is a huge shame.You have to pay when you order. Top tip, if it’s the weekend and the staff are complaining that much at 10.30am then run.. made it feel like a bad day at work but more expensive.

Promising refit. But a couple of weeks in it seems there's no ale on a Monday. Twice I've been told ooh

Cozy with a warm welcome, we didn't eat but the restaurant looked lovely and has beautiful views of the beach. The upstairs terrace is a lovely place to have a drink while taking in the scenery. It was a bit chilly and overcast when we went so I would love to visit again when the sun is shining, the only downside for me was parking, it was on street and would be difficult on a busier day so I would suggest a taxi.
