They are the tops . My 2nd visit in 6 months. I love it here. Excellent top customer service. They welcome you soon as you enter here. Lovely warm friendly welcome. Beautiful surroundings . Great traditional English pub & restaurant. Suitable for wheelchair users. Large free carpark . Great value for money. Good size portion meals . Very tasty. This is my ideal place to unwind, relax and enjoy . I definitely recommend visiting here.
So glad to see this pub back up and running! Lovely staff, very warm welcome. Food order arrived quickly, good quality and well presented. We had usual pub fare, but made so much nicer when enjoyed at the waters' edge. Highly recommend if you are after somewhere a little closer to nature and you enjoy boats.
Lovely little riverside mooring. Berthed overnight and enjoyed a meal in the pub. Jason was very helpful and made us very welcome!
Attentive service from their team on a Saturday afternoon. Sensibly priced drinks and delicious food.
Clean, comfortable surroundings. Toilets were spotless.
Extensive free moorings all the way around the building and easy access to the main entrance if arriving by boat.
Had hoped they would have been showing the rugby and/or horse racing. Didn't see any screens but advised that new free WiFi is being installed this week.
Dogs are welcome in a dog friendly area of the main bar.
Really enjoyed our first visit, and we are certain to return soon.
We were on a canal boat holiday and stopped here for dinner. The food was homemade and delicious, the staff very friendly and the inside of the pub was very cozy and quaint. There are good moorings available so we stayed in our boat overnight. After a busy day sailing along the river, we stopped here again for lunch. They also had a dog friendly area so we could take our dog Iwould highly recommend this pub.
Second time here and still very happy with our meal we had. Service was spot on even tho they were very busy. Great atmosphere and everyone makes you feel welcome. A really lovely place will keep going here for sure
Turned up by boat to The Ship, very nice inside for a drink, the restaurant is not that big but the tables are well spaced out and you can eat in the bar area just outside the restaurant.
We all had the Sunday roast the meat was very nice as was the roast potatoes the vegetables could have been a little warmer and kept topped up as I didn't have many broccoli florets to choose from and little mashed potatoe.
Service was good and price was reasonable, would we go back , yes.
Went for Sunday lunch to my old haunt as I used to run this pub in the late 80s and was well impressed.
Generous portions,fabulous apple pie crumble dessert.
The pub has gone through a massive transformation and it certainly has paid off.Friendly staff,vibrate modern interior,book yourself in,you will not be disappointed.I will be going back.
Lovely setting, great pub, very welcoming we will be back
We just stopped for a quick drink and sat on a bench outside overlooking the river. It was stunning! There were different boats and barges drifting by, it was such a lovely evening 😊
