| Not too bad. Agree with previous reviwer mostly. Still no glasses on match days thanks to the over zealous police at Spurs games. nickthefish - 18 Jun 2008 23:24 |
| According to the brief history displayed on the wall, the Ship was one of 4 Coaching Inns in Tottenham that serviced the London to Cambridge route. A pub was recorded here as early as 1610 and one of the original buildings was an impressive and presumably sizeable place described as having 6 gables. The current version is late Victorian and still retains a few fragments of its original past, notably the green tiled façade with its large lantern, ornate patterned burgundy ceiling, an impressive fireplace, some of the etched windows and some interior tiling although sadly much of this is now hidden behind the current seating. There are still some dividing screens near the doors but most of the original divisions have been removed leaving an open, walk round pub with an island bar. Some parts of the look a bit tatty and the promotional posters and dangling inflatable Guinness glasses cheapen the overall appearance. A magnificent Taylor Walker mirror graces one wall and there are a few oddments that attract attention. There is the usual plethora of pub entertainment: plasma screen, games machines, juke box, pool table and a dart board area (minus the board). A small snug recess can be found at the very back of the pub behind the pool table and there is a beer garden mentioned but I have never ventured this far. Naturally it can get busy on match days when plastic glasses only are used but the rest of the time, the customer base appears to be made up of card schools and semi winos. The beers are nothing worth noting and whilst there are 4 hand pumps, I have never seen them in use despite a teasing Burton Ale clip permanently turned round on one of them. Potentially this could be one of the best pubs in Tottenham but it needs to add a bit more elegance and class and steer away from the cheap end of the market to achieve this. Then again, the best pub in Tottenham is not exactly a hard target to aim for. RogerB - 24 Dec 2007 22:29 |
