| Another example of what used to be a good village pub which no longer is. The Ship used to be a great place to get a cheap meal and a decent pint. Sadly, it no does neither of these things. Occupying a riverside village site in one of the nicest bits of Wiltshire, the Ship has a beautiful garden and pleasant, unspoiled interior. However, the food is now neither cheap nor wholesome, and the staff are not welcoming or helpful. A lady on the table next to me asked whether she could have a cheese sandwich and was told she could only have what was on the (rather pretentious and very overpriced) menu - so she paid over £9 for a ploughman's. I tried a pint of 6X and it was almost ice-cold. When I mentioned to the barmaid that it was too cold, she told me "that's because we keep it in the cellar". I didn't argue. An unenjoyable pint and a depressing experience which I will not rush to repeat until things change. ETA - 6 Oct 2009 06:52 |
| Turned up on a Saturday evening. "Have you booked?" No. Offered a tiny table next to a very noisy party, so we left. All the symptoms of a tarted-up gastropub. If that's what you want, fine. Otherwise... cato - 22 Feb 2009 16:23 |
| Stopped here by chance. I had two great pints of ale, Downton Journeys End, Goddards Best Bitter. Sat in the garden sun blazing down. I will stop here again. Recommend the ale. fivedaysfiveshirts - 9 Oct 2008 08:47 |
| Stopped here for the first time in 2 years not long ago. It HAS been transformed into a trendy gastro-pub, with the emphasis on the "gastro" part. While it was lovely for the (lunchtime) food, I don't think that I would ever consider it "a local"; its more for the Range Rover and Beemer crowd now. HenPen - 29 May 2008 13:27 |
| Every time I come down from London I have to visit this place, the location is beautiful and the food is always out standing, that's why they are in the Michelin guide. I dont know what the last reviewer is on about, I have had their roasts loads of times and you cant beat it. Keep up the good work guys treehouse1 - 13 Jun 2007 18:25 |
