| Great selection of ales, and really friendly staff. Very contemporary and well kept. I also stayed over night where the rooms were very much the same and well priced. yamyampublover - 14 Jan 2012 15:34 |
| Service has improved recently and they now have four rotating real ales (the waiter claimed they changed every 48 hours!) rather than the previously unvaried diet of Pride, Timmy Taylor, Deuchars and Doom Bar. Good food and the best pub by far in the Mare St area. mickeyphelansshorts - 14 Nov 2010 21:49 |
| 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. deborah28 - 3 Mar 2010 15:22 |
| 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. Greshon - 25 Nov 2009 14:39 |
