The Ship Tavern

Great pub, now become the new local.Lovely staff and nice to sit outside overlooking the river.Food is really decent and generous.All in a great pub for family and friends.

Gave this pub a second chance but the service was just as bad. The place was empty we ordered food and after an hour and still waiting we left. We will definitely not be returning. So many great places around so avoid this one and go anywhere else but there. Just seen the reply I received and there was no one before us. There was 2 people at the bar 2 outside and us then 3 more people turned up 15 minutes after us. Maybe you should check your cctv again we waited an hour and then left.

Great place for food which is indeed cooked after you order it but be aware of the time implications of this. Our meal was excellent preparation took about an hour. Just needs to be taken account of when planning.

On arrival we were ignored until all the local drinkers had been served their beer.Then we ordered our food and the only member of staff was still serving beer to the locals 30 minutes later I said where’s are food and she hadn’t even told the kitchen staff. Another half hour and it turned up the worst food I’ve ever even tried to eat we just got up and left . The locals at the bar said nobody eats here anymore.

Went to the pub for a meal the bar staff didn't know how to serve a bitter shandy when it arrived it was not the best,we waited 20 minutes for someone to take our food order no one showed up so we left and found a far more friendly restaurant. Wouldn't recommend this place for food or service..

Great pub by the way, food was very good we had a Roast and it was very nice and there didn't be food until 1pm on a Sunday

Absolutely shocking service, we waited over an hour and a half for our food and it all came out wrong.When we arrived it was not busy and nobody was eating so there no excuse for the delay.The burger that came out is only what I can describe as a horrible looking islands burger which was £12.I would not recommend this to my worst enemy.I have eaten better ration pack in the deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq whilst in the military.

If I could give zero stars I would!If you are considering eating at this pub, don’t!I called them this morning too book a table for 3. I specifically asked what time they serve food until so we could make sure we didn’t leave it too late. I also informed them that my mum had mobility issues.We arrived about 10 minutes early and the pub was fairly busy in regards of drinkers however, the girl serving behind the bar literally ignored us for over 5 minutes. She avoided making eye contact with us until, I eventually had to say, excuse me, only to be told, I’ll be with you in a moment. I had already sat my mum down at this point due to the time we had to wait. I asked if the barmaid could just tell us where we were sitting, she took my name and pointed at a table on the other side of the pub.We moved while my husband ordered some drinks. He came back with a flat pint which he couldn’t drink. The two elderflower drinks were almost lemonade, they had no flavor at all.After approximately 10 minutes, I went to the bar, only to be ignored again. Eventually, I had to interrupt the barmaid as she went to serve someone else, who came to the bar after me. She confirmed we had to order the food at the bar so I did. After placing the order, she went on to serve someone else and the order sat there for a while longer.Some time later, our cutlery was brought out. It was freezing cold and dirty. I cleaned them myself. A young lady came out to ask if we wanted any sauces with our food. These came out a while later in the small paper cups that you would normally get In McDonald’s to put your ketchup in!A short while later, approximately 45 to 1 hour after we arrived, our roast dinners came out. We all looked at one another in disbelief. They have to be the worst roast dinner I’ve ever seen. I had turkey which was like rubber, as was the beef my husband and mother had. It was extremely small, with one slice of meat each. The potatoes were hard, verging on raw and the vegetables were appalling.It was at this point, we got up and decided to leave. I have never done this before in my life but to be honest, I just wanted to get out of their.My poor mum had to be helped out and the other customers made comments on how awful our food was and they would have done the same.From start to finish… it was awful. The Ship is 100% not a restaurant… it’s a pub and all staff need a lesson in customer service!

Great staff, lovely food and we thought the huts in the garden were a good idea especially with our unreliable weather. Will definitely be visiting again .
