The Ship and Whale, Rotherhithe

After being a loyal customer for many years, going to the New Year party and eating breakfast at The Ship regularly (see my review 2 Oct 2011), I was extremely disappointed to be told last Saturday by John the owner "tell your boyfriend to leave a good review or he's barred". And surprisingly not a joke. Apparently John and Basia thought that my partner (of 8 years who they have met on many occassions and who was with me for breakfast) had left a bad review on some review site - they based this on the reviewer having the same first name. Apology? Sadly not. Upsetting treatment from the owner and staff. This pub will no longer receive any recommendation from me or receive any further custom.

The Ship and Whale, Rotherhithe

Living near the Ship and Whale I probably don't go there as often as I should but that's being remedied now. I popped in last night for a quick drink with a friend and ended up deciding to eat. The tuna steak salad special was absolutely wonderful. Full compliments to the kitchen on a fantastic meal. Sitting outside in the warm atmosphere of the beer garden on a beautiful evening in October was a delight. Long may this surprise second summer in October continue and the Ship and Whale is the perfect place to enjoy it.
