| We have been coming here for several years as a treat and looked forward to our evening in late September with happy anticipation. We have many warm memories of the Ship in Distress, the warm welcome, good beer, fantastic fish, petit fours... ALL GONE :-( We got brisk, inefficient service with no smile, they did not care at all. Starters were served on chipped plates, hot main course on cold plates, beer was served in dirty glass and was not, I suspect, from clean lines as it was somewhat cloudy. The restaurant area has been redecorated and has lost much of its character. Felt ripped off and usually spend twice as much. Won't be back. derekthesheep - 2 Oct 2008 18:47 |
| A nicely decorated pub/restaurant with a friendly welcome, but with prices that exceed both the quality of food and level of service, it certainly doesn’t live up to its “award winning” status. Recommended wines had never been stocked, waitresses were forgetful and uninformed about the menu and one dish was served incomplete. It may well have been a one-off bad experience; however the manner in which a minor complaint was indiscreetly dealt with was highly unprofessional. Overall it seems that since the pub changed hands the left hand no longer knows what the right hand is doing. thehappyeater - 19 Jun 2007 10:23 |
| Under new ownership. In the past, you were either in the landlady's clique or you were not - and if you were not then your attempts to get served would often go unheeded! Much better now, and the range of ales has improved - but still with old favourites such as Adnams Broadside and Ringwood Best. BillyD - 15 Jun 2007 10:14 |
| Saw reviews on site and fancied fish for dinner,so gave it a try. The food was very tasty,but for what you get is way overpriced! Having spent the best part of £50 for plaice+chips,a pasta dish and two sweets,you shouldn't go home and have somthing to eat!!!!! Good pint of Broadside mind billieposter - 26 Jun 2006 09:26 |
| Friendly, decorated thgroughout with an astonishing array of nautically themed memorabilia. Has a well earned excellent reputation for it's seafood restaurant. Even if you're not hungry it's well worth a visit for their excellent cask ales (Adnams Broadside being a personal favourite). It's consisistent as well -I have visited regularly since Aug 05 beggarman - 24 Mar 2006 14:05 |
