Lovely setting by the river, the weather was too miserable to sit outside, but the pub inside is spacious and airy. The food was excellent both in quality and price. The portions were ample and there were plenty of fresh vegetables. I chose the sea bass, which was delicious. The lady who served us was lovely, she greeted us warmly and nothing was too much trouble.

This is a popular venue so booking is recommended. The staff are friendly and helpful and accommodated a small adjustment to my husband's order without any fuss. I had the homemade steak and kidney pie which came with an impressive selection of vegetables. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. There is a pleasantgarden at the back of the pub.

I called in on the off chance to grab a afternoon lunch at the Ship Inn not booking a table, Sarah an the girls fitted me without any problem I was very grateful, I sat outside in the garden because I didn't want to take up valuable table spaces that was reserved. I had the steak and kidney pie and pea's/chips what a great tasty pie plenty of meat & kidney juicy gravy. Thanks again everyone I much appreciated. See you again soon, kind regards Pete Nelson

Not been here for a while so was really looking forward to some nice food when visiting here again with our friends. We was not disappointed, our starters & mains were very tasty and filled the plate. The staff give everyone a warm welcome and always smiling. A special thank-you to Keri who looked after us and helped recommend our dishes
