| There’s not much that I can really add to the previous review except that there are three plasma screens, which is a lot for such a small pub. Also, along with the Bass there is a standard lager selection, Guinness and Magners on draught. I doubt that I’ll ever return here, but I would recommend it to anyone that is a horse racing fan or maybe has a penchant for Bass. Strongers - 17 Jun 2009 07:07 |
| Difficult to fathom why no one has posted on this pub for nearly 2 1/2 years. After all it's not exactly difficult to get to - it's not as though it's hidden away in the Welsh mountains or on some remote Scottish island. Previous reviews are not exactly damning, either The nearby Stags Head - which I'll be commenting on next - is just a couple of blocks away, is a less attractive pub in my view, yet has had half a dozen or so postings over the same period. Anyway, here goes. The Ship is a smallish, but comfortably furnished and carpeted traditional free house in that strange hinterland between Oxford Street and the Euston Road to the north. Inside are some fine old Bass and Wenlock Brewery mirrors and a copper surrounded fireplace. The Wenlock Brewery disappeared off the scene before I came of pub going age, being acquired by Charringtons in 1961. Outside high up on the wall are 2 old Wenlock Brewery plaques and painted plasterwork indicating that the pub was rebuilt in 1887. The bar has 3 handpumps, all sporting Bass pump clips. In the absence of any other pumpclips visible anywhere, I would guess that Bass is the only real ale that is ever on. The traditional ambience and decor is marred somewhat by the presence of some neon-lit advertising signs above the bar, advertising various lagers such as Rolling Rock and Labatts, which I felt looked a bit tacky and out of place. There's many pots and pans and implements hanging from the ceiling, which add a bit of character and interest, but do give the pub a slightly cluttered feel. On my early evening visit, there were a mix of locals watching the horse racing and other punters, who presumably work locally ( BBC House is close by, I think ) The presence of a very large notice in the window indicating that no money is kept on the premises overnight looks a bit foreboding, but is probably explained by the pub not being open at weekends. If you're passing by, it's probably worth popping in ( not weekends though!), despite the absence of any choice on the real ale front JohnBonser - 1 May 2009 09:56 |
| Hated this place. Booze prices were Scandanavian. However it did seem to be popular with some of my colleagues who used it as a meeting room. Zoe Ball used to be a regular. Closed at weekends. WaitorseBoyz - 7 Dec 2006 10:07 |
| Nice quirky little pub. Bass is the only beer on tap but is always in excellent condition. What more do you need? TheBeerMonkey - 2 Jun 2006 15:05 |
| This is a lovely, immaculately clean, family-owned place. Expecting it to be packed with folks on a Friday night is unfair. It fills a niche and does it well. BeerBlaster - 5 Apr 2006 16:24 |
