| An excellent pub with friendly staff and great beer. ace1973 - 19 Jul 2010 19:23 |
| As Telford Wilkins Galbraith noted in his recent review, the Ship is a superb, unaffected country pub. This is a place of conversation, conviviality, fine cask ale, and, no doubt, delicious wholesome country fare. The landlady is a fine, chatty, diligent host, and was quite happy to engage in arcane discussion with two strangers. The ale choice is adventurous, though sticking within sensible strength bounds for a pub that requires either a bipeds' best efforts or a motorized chariot. In an area blessed with fine pubs (and breweries), the Ship stand out as one of the most authentic. This is a pub of its community, but one that extends the warmest of welcomes to those from beyond the bounds of Bishops Sutton. CJG - 3 Feb 2010 10:10 |
| A good, honest, down-to-earth country community local. There is no obvious over-emphasising of food, as is so often the case nowadays, and there is still room for the good old drinker. A friendly landlady presides over a comfortable bar in the middle, and at either end there is a large seating area that can accommodate a surprisingly large number of punters. The night I was there it was their Annual quiz night - which was a massive hit with the locals who had crammed into the pub to show off their knowledge (or lack of it!). I was amazed, although sadly for a Sunday evening this was not representative of the usual custom which would struggle to fill half let alone all the seats! Still, the place seems to have a loyal following and justifiably so. Ale-wise, up to 4 are available, and choices are varied judging by the clips on display. Palmers Copper Ale was absolutely superb, as was an offering from the Goddards brewery. Don't mess with the formula, as it seems to be spot on right now, and one that fewer rural retreats are following. TWG - 28 Jan 2010 12:53 |
| We've just been for a meal at the Ship and can thoroughly recommend it as an unpretentious country pub. The beer is good - we both drank Invincible this time although the choice of beers changes regularly. The menu has a selection of traditional pub food with specials on a blackboard - nothing really adventurous but when the food arrives you get what you expected - well cooked and tasty. If you are looking for a gastro-pub then the Ship may not be for you but if a country pub with a friendly welcome and a warm log fire sounds attractive then The Ship is well worth a try. jamesperrett - 2 Jan 2010 22:19 |
| Tried the Ship for lunch as it has changed hands a few times since we last visited,nice welcome ,nice and clean,lunch was not good value for money,the steak and ale was good but not enough of it for the price,plus the peas with my pie and chips were undercooked ,sorry thumbs down.will have to keep searching. vintageman - 28 Aug 2009 20:35 |
