   Overall good experience. Staff were excellent albeit overworked and could have probably done with a few more staff to assist over the 18:30 - 20:30 rush period with food and bar. As a result of this although when received food was very good , service was slow, acknowledge by manager who gave us a discount on our final bill due to that inconvenience. Will be happy to return

   Great service and food. Staff were extremely thoughtful as they had a supper with Santa that we did not know about, my daughter was very scared of Santa as she is only 2, so the safe moved us to an area that wouldn’t mean her seeing him. All the other kids loved Santa.

   Lovely experience, spacious dining room with good sized tables and chairs. The meal was excellent with just the right portion size for us. Wish we had selected the festive menu after seeing other tables though but good excuse to go again. Overall excellent, thank you

   Four of us had a 2 course lunch at an afternoon Michael Bublé tribute event. The food is good quality pub food, and the service was attentive. The Ship is an attractive pub in a lovely village and has recently been taken over by a lovely young couple who are trying hard to bring it back up to its former reputation. They are doing well so far and we plan to visit again soon. We had a very enjoyable afternoon.

   We returned after sometime for an evening meal. Lovely welcome from Joe and Amy and the Ship itself was decorated beautifully, the fire was on and music playing. All the tables were laid and it looked so inviting. Just what you need on a cold winters night. There were four in our party and we ordered calamari, pasta with chicken in a cream and white wine sauce, sea bass on a bed of risotto and gammon. The food arrived promptly after ordering and it was utterly delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The drinks were brought to the table along with the wine and we finished with cocktails and coffee. Nothing was too much trouble. Great atmosphere, wonderful hosts and excellent service. What a joy it is to have this beautiful pub back up and running so well. It will not be long before we are back for a return visit.

    Generally it was good, food was tasty and hot, wasn’t waiting around forever for it to arrive. However when the last plates are cleared from the food you ordered it appears they are of the opinion that they’re done. We never order dessert until the meal is finished just in case we ain’t got room for it. Eventually got someone to drop off the menu and yes we were going to share one. After waiting a long time and not seeing a single member of staff we decided to pay and leave. There is one vital bit of service they lacking which is checking that their customers are being catered for on every level.
