| Seemingly a locals pub. Had a good pint of Abbeydale Deception on my last visit. ng10 - 5 Dec 2011 20:35 |
| This week I paid a visit to the Ship, I have to say that all of the three real ales available (which I was told change on a constant rolling basis) were in excellent condition. We tried the food and it was very good, a good portion at a very reasonable cost. Traditional pub food served in a friendly atmosphere. The reviews of a surly landlord seem more than a little harsh, I found him knowledgeable and friendly, even giving directions to other local pubs. The locals at the bar let everone join in the general banter and a pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by all. All in all worth a visit ,should not be bypassed on the way to the more established trail pubs. Whitbymick - 22 Nov 2011 11:34 |
| Paid another visit to the Ship at the weekend, and am even more impressed by this fine pub. the Tiled frontage must really rank amongst the finest in the country, with its gleaming tiles and a fine ship model above the front door. Beyond, things aren't quite as impressive in the L-shaped room but the upholstery and ethos are that of a truly unspoilt pub. The pub doesn't trade on it's wide range of ales like its neighbours, remaining a proper locals' pub (unfortunately this is also reflected in the presence of karaoke on some evenings and the slightly loud piped music), but the ale range has improved, with two Abbeydale beers plus Greene King on my visit- a good sign. Despite its faults, you should try to get here if you've done all the Don Valley pubs or if you're a traditional pub fan. Carlurmston - 4 Feb 2010 12:50 |
| Although on the edge of Kelham Island this pub s not really a part of that real ale circuit even though it does do some decent beers. Instead it is a proper community pub that to this day is still the local for the old residents of St. Vincent's. This can mean that it gets very busy on Friday and Saturday night with it full of old local residents who all seem to know each other. This is all the more remarkable given that the vast majority of residents in St. Vincent's these days are city centre apartment dwellers. Where all these people come from I do not know. andyshire - 25 Jun 2009 18:28 |
| Fine traditional pub with a superb 'Tomlinsons Anchor Ales' tiled exterior. Tomlinsons Brewery was apparently based close to Sheffield United Football Ground and was largely destroyed in the blitz in World War 2. The pub now bears the logo of Hardy & Hansons Kimberley Ales of Nottingham. Interestingly, there's no Greene King beers, or evidence of GK ownership anywhere noticeable in the pub. The pub bears the Cask Marque symbol and I was pleased to see that the pub displays the local CAMRA Branch Magazine - "Beer Matters" - so I suspect that the surly landlord complaining about 'tickers' that a previous posting mentions has now moved on. The pub is carpeted with leather upholstered seats and has a comfortable traditional pubby feel. A snooker table is located in what appears to be an extension to the original building at the side. Note also the small metal plaque outside, revealing that, during the floods in 1864, two seamen drowned in a secret tunnel beneath the pub. A ghost of one of them allegedly now frequents the cellar. Having only the one real ale on, this pub will not appeal to the tickers in the way that certain other pubs nearby ( which I hardly need to name, I suspect !) do, but The Ship is a good honest community local and worth a visit in its own right, even if only for a brief stop JohnBonser - 19 Mar 2009 09:17 |
