I recently took my entire family to the old ship for lunch, including some family members I hadn't seen for years, the pressure was certainly on to pick somewhere nice.. I chose the ship because it had far more vegetarian options than any other gastro pub in the surrounding area but I was apprehensive because it has some terrible reviews online!
I wanted to rectify this, I wasn't at all disappointed with the old ship. The service was friendly and prompt even though we were a very large and indecisive group. The food was great, honest and locally sourced. The atmosphere is unpretentious and relaxed, perfect place to catch up with family. We all had a great time.

Looks incredible from Mare Street with it's amazingly narrow facade, but once you're inside it looks like a nice old pub that's been gutted of all character, and it stinks of not-very-fresh fish, too, from the kitchen. There are seats out the back and that's your best bet, if the weather's warm enough, as there's not much atmosphere within.

Had some Sunday lunch here, the food was great. There was a wedding party in the main eating area so we sat in the bar area. The beer was good, the food good, the atmosphere relaxed. Really enjoyed it.

One of those old pubs which has had a bit of flock wallpaper hung up and some Ikea sofas put in. Coupled with the obligatory gold baroque mirrors and candles, it has been magically transformed into a hip and funky bar!

I especially liked the way you could sit at a table eating your food and see into the gents - complete with urinals vacant and in use (isn't there meant to be some law about 2 doors separating a bog and food?)

But to be fair, on a VERY economical budget the place hasn't become too bad - the staff are friendly, the beer is fine, and the speakers -though tiny and tinny - were playing some decent tunes
