The Ship And Whale

Marcus Williams

Have to go place for Sunday Roast. (note - pre-booking a table is advised, tends to be full when it comes to walk ins.) There are 3 meats and a vegie versions. (Sunday Roast). The roast servings are a healthy side with a good mix of side veg.

🚇 Canada Water 🍺 £6.20 San Miguel ❤️ A splendid Victorian Rotherhithe remnant. . Nestled in a secluded street in Rotherhithe, just off the Thames Path you’ll find The Ship & Whale. The nearest Tube is Canada Water which is a ten minute stroll to get here. . The pub was originally built in 1767 and rebuilt in 1880 by Trumans. This used to be a dockers pub who toiled in now landlocked Greenland dock. . This is a one bar pub that is “L” shaped and is sumptuously decorated. The walls are painted a deep red and the ceiling a rich green, this gives the pub an opulent Victorian feel. There are plenty of tables and chairs plus a few chesterfields and wing chairs to relax in to. The stylish servery is located on the right hand side which has an ornate dark wood back bar. Around the walls are lots of prints and photos depicting Rotherhithe’s past. At the rear of the pub is a good size beer garden for the warmer months. . The beer line up had lots of mainstream choices and two cask ales were available. I decided on a pint of San Miguel, my pint was lively and price point a bit above average. The food menu is British pub grub and roasts are available on a Sunday. . I visited on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. The pub was fairly busy with a few couples, the odd solo drinker plus a large group in for a children’s party. The atmosphere was relaxed and chilled with a soundtrack of rock classics including Crosstown Traffic by Jimi Hendrix. The service was good, the lady who served me did so with a smile. I took a seat and couldn’t help but admire the decor here, it really sets a classy Victorian tone. . In 1969 Surrey Docks closed due to containerisation and the local landscape changed forever. Huge swaths of Rotherhithe were redeveloped over the next two decades and thankfully the @shipandwhale navigated the change. It was great visiting part of Rotherhithe’s heritage, I would definitely recommend a visit here. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 22.04.23
