The pub actually looks great, but best drink straight from the bottle (this applies to the Beer and wine).
If you order a pint of Peroni or Staropramen you can taste and smell a metallic tang. Try it !

This would be caused by the staff/duty manager washing all bar equipment in the glass washer and failing to clean out the machine after the service.

**Note for manager - You can order 'liquid diamond cleaner' from an extended order on your BRS system when placing your beer order to Coors. This will cost no additional money on the order and will not affect your P&L. At the end of the service use this product to clean out the machine, then rinse the machine at least 3 times.

Each week take the whole of the insides of the glass machine apart and soak the parts all dismantled in a bucket of water and beer line cleaning fuild, This will kill the mould build up which is occurring.
The result will be more drinks purchased=more buisness=more money=jiucy managers bonus.

**2nd Note. You need more staff during the summer,and staff that are very switched on. Get some Polskies.

**3rd Note. Pay the staff more. If the work 4 hours pay them for 6, so you play the budget game with Mitchell & Butlers 'Castle' channel.

To the membber of staff at The Ship. Who cares how much money was spent on a refit. I don't. Do you? This pub has always put the tourists and sailors ahead of the locals. It did in the past and it did the other night I went in. The range of drinks sums it up. Too many fancy bits of decoration here and there. Looks more like a set from an episode of Howards Way than a proper pub. Sorry, restaurant which is of course what it has become. Pub secondary. I can see Mitchells & Butler the new owners waving their fingers at the locals now saying "stuff you lot. This ones for the sailors". All in all a pub I try to avoid these days. A shame no matter how much money has been spent on it. Remember Ship member of staff, you can't polish a turd.

Please avoid visiting the Ship Inn, went for a drink in December 2007. Staff served me a bad pint of London Pride and after returning to the bar to get it replaced I was very rudely spoken to by two male bar staff who said my cloudy pint was due to condensation on the glass! Never again! I have since heard from friends the food and service is poor too!! Avoid!!

<<I am a member of staff here>>

This pub is now owned by Mitchells and Butlers who took over in December. They spent a million pounds on a complete refit, including the garden.

Inside it is completely different - no dogs/footballs shirts/caps etc. It is now clean, with well designed facilities such as showers and improved access. There is a large glass entrance, and the garden has been made level with the rest of the pub. Large french doors run alongside of the pub, providing light and fresh air.

The menu is a mix of traditional english with plenty of fresh fish and meat from the New Forest. A number of european beers are available on draught - Amstell, Stella, Peroni etc. London Pride Guinness and Speckled Hen for Bitter drinkers.

All in all a great NEW pub, what the town and location needed.
