Everybody has it's favourite pub for whatever reason and the Ship always ranks high in my esteem for many reasons.The staff are very friendly yet don't take any nonsense from drunken tourists and of course the food is excellant.I have however a soft spot for Louise the mangeress and I want her to wink at me when she serves me next if she reads this text or knows my signature.I also have a soft spot for the wife but it is on Bodmin Moor near Dozmary Pool!One of the reasons why I like the Ship and have been a regular for three years could have something to do that the snug by the corner window looked just like the living room of a house I once owned-sometimes I sit in it and either think or crave for the return of my house which I sold and moved to Cornwall for all the wrong reasons.

It is a bit run down, but not excessively so. Friendly staff and Landlord, and the Tinners is the best pint in Looe in my opinion. Much better than the Swan up the road, with it's fake hand pumps.

what a lovely place! very friendly staff, food was lovely (veggie lasagne was great!) and a lovely pint of rattler. vey quiet when we visited but we could not be made more welcome! keep it up, a lovely pub.

Gone downhill since St Austell Breweries decided to desert it and not pay for sky tv anymore. I am not a local but visit 5 times a year. All the ambience and locals have gone. A shame really.

I totally agree with the previous comments about the Ship Inn being quiet and lacking in atmosphere and that also it needs a refurb. It is a shame because the Tribute was superb, but the bad vibes made us want to drink up and move on, which we did, across the road to Ye Olde Salutation. Although the cleanliness (or the lack of it) has been commented on previously, it wasn’t a problem when we visited; everywhere including the toilets were clean, it’s just that the whole place is desperately in need of a bit of TLC …
|
Pubs in tourist traps are often a bit iffey with regards to service and quality but this one is OK. Nice drop of Tribute and good food reasonably priced and well served. Fairly quite for a Bank holiday week which suited us if not them.

visit several times each year, find it lacks atmosphere, Bar satff tend to be young and unenthusiastic. We used to go in for big screen sports but they stopped the SKY tv last year so is now off our list.

Decent landlord who serves in the pub, quite unusual in Looe. Staff don't listen to what you order and ask again and again. Not sure about the food.... and pub always seems quiet. However beer is ok. would score it higher if it had a bit of atmosphere
|
Great pub, the landlord is a legend!!!!!!!!

has gone down hill fast - decent choice of ales but the food is poor, the decor is badly in need of refurb and the tables are often dirty from the previous occupants
|
Excellent beer. Friendly atmosphere with a good range of entertainment (pool table, quiz machine, big screen sports.) Young female bar manager with what has to be the sexiest arse on the planet. Worth a 250 mile drive just to admire that for an evening. Spendid range of beverages too for those who prefer something less alcoholic. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
|
This is the nearest pub to a theme pub in the area but pleasant enough and serves the finest pint of Tinners I've ever had.
|
Staff ok , manager very professional, he must be a businessman rather than a landlord, they let you take beer to your room. Nice pub.
|
Excellent St Austell ales and good food. Friendly staff but the atmosphere is a bit "Harvesty". Worth a visit, though.
