| Has the Ship been saved? nickrocks74 - 29 Jun 2010 10:51 |
| I've heard this pub is re-opening soon, by the same people who saved the Ship on Plumstead common vinnnie - 12 Feb 2010 17:15 |
| Looks like my last line was rather prophetic and my sources tell me that the pub is now once again boarded up. RogerB - 13 Aug 2009 13:21 |
| Whatever intrinsic charm or character I found in this place previously has all but dissipated since the place went through its temporary closure. The place is now little more than a hollow shell, still devoid of ambience and displaying all the attributes that put me off certain pubs to start with. Gone are the ale pumps and the old piano leaving a keg bar and a corner full of speakers for those dreaded DJ/Karaoke nights and intrusive loud music. The customer base was drawn from a mix of yoofs on the pool table (I almost tripped over their skateboard that had been abandoned at the bar), dodgy �who the fack are ya� types and bored looking families with their prams. The bar staff were toitally inept (the first short changed me but I didn�t initially notice as I was given the majority of my change in 2ps and 5ps, assuming of course that a pint of Guiness doesn�t cost �3.80!). My friend came in after me and ordered a bitter shandy and received a lager shandy. The floor and benches look like they haven�t seen a brush or a vacuum cleaner for weeks. All in all, the place is an extremely tried and sorry looking pub which is a shame because, as I had pointed out before, it has some good traditional features and a good layout. I think it�s a fair bet that this place will be added to the pub closure statistics at some time in the not too distant future (again!). RogerB - 23 Jul 2009 09:47 |
| Went past it last night on the bus - the shutters are off and the front door once again open! RogerB - 8 Oct 2008 14:12 |
