| As a pub critic for the South East I would not recommend this establishment to friends and family. While the beer and ale are more then adequate the reception by the hosts and prices do not come up to scratch. I felt compelled to visit The Ship after mixed reviews from friends. I will not be frequenting The Ship again and recommend others to enjoy one of the many pubs nearby. Regards, SouthEast_Pubcritic - 20 Jan 2012 15:31 |
| Ah, the old 'we shut at three but stay open 'till four on a sunday' conundrum. You're not the first and certainly won't be the last to fall foul of that - Big Slim, Mick Hucknell, they've all done it. However, i should point out that your clear lack of wit, self loathing and intelligence suggests that you really wouldn't like The Ship, or infact any pub. Why not try a coffee or tea shop next time - i'm sure you'll get the faceless service you so require there. QModo - 13 Jan 2012 15:19 |
| I felt compelled to write a review after my experience at The Ship this afternoon. I came to visit Ripley for the first time and made the grave mistake of arranging to meet a friend at this pub, I arrived slightly early and was greeted by a man at the door with "YOU'RE coming in HERE? Are you SURE? Have you been here before?" At which point of course all the punters stopped in their tracks and turned to stare and smirk at me. I carried on into the pub but I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere and I couldn't decide whether it would be more awkward to sit down or turn around and leave. After a few seconds the landlady told me the pub was closed, gesturing for me to leave. An hour later I walked past again and it was obvious they were still serving. I do not understand how anyone can afford to turn away any business in this climate, it is just madness to me. When I came home I googled the pub and I am relieved to have found I am not the only person who has had such an unpleasant experience, I feel better knowing it probably wasn't just because of the colour of my skin. Either way the message is clear, The Ship does not welcome newcomers. So before you bother, save yourself the trouble and just go to any one of the other pubs. rubymay - 8 Jan 2012 23:10 |

| Into the stone flagged bar I go, A friendly smile, a fond "hello", Fresh foaming pints at bargain prices, Locals discussing other people's vices, All year round it's the place to be, The Ship in the High street in old Ripley, They smoke and chat outside the pub, Only one problem - there is no grub. pintoft - 29 Sep 2011 15:10 |
