Review The Ship - Reedham

We sat in the garden on a dry but cloudy day, watching the boats go by and the swing bridge closing and opening to let trains through. There is a little play park for the kids and an outdoor marquee for shelter when there is poor weather. We didn't sit inside as we ordered at the bar near the entrance and stayed outside, but it looked like a nice traditional pub inside. The service was really friendly and attentive even though we were outside. The food was really well cooked, my husband had Hunters chicken which he really enjoyed and I had a, "Small plate" of Bang bang chicken on a bed of rice." My chicken was succulent, really well spiced with a good bit of chilli heat and a lovely sticky sauce. As it was advertised as a small plate , I had a side of thick cut chips (but really for lunch, wouldn't have needed these.) They were however great chips, double cooked and really tasty. The choice of real ales was good, some from the local brewery and the ales very well kept. I would definitely revisit and recommend...even outside on an overcast day!

Wonderful atmosphere, lovely views, amazing service and really great food! The Ship has been one of our favourite spots when visiting Reedham for years now but the latest visit was so lovely, I had to review. The Ship has a perfect position on the river by the Swing Bridge. The atmosphere is always spot on. We go now with our young family as we appreciate the relaxed atmosphere with the added bonus of the beer garden with slide for the kids. Our latest visit was so so lovely. The food was seriously good, the current managers have really upped the game with the food! I had the jerk chicken burger off the specials. Sooooo good. 100% recommend The Ship.

I love this pub. Beautiful riverside location and great food. You may have to wait a little while for food as it's all cooked to order but the wait is worth it. They usually have a local beer or two on tap as well which is even better if it's from the nearby Humpty Dumpty brewery

Superb home cooled food, delicious specials and excellent value for money. A good range of cask beers and a couple of kegs. Staff were excellent, nothing too much to ask. Large beer garden overlooking the river with gazebo and shelters for when the weather is a little unpredictable. A delightful pub, in a stunning location that serves great food and drinks, what more could you ask. 😀

Our usual monthly Trekker walk was at Reedham yesterday and we had a fabulous lunch afterwards at the Ship Inn. It is situated right by the river which must be a perfect place for a summer's evening drink or meal. There is outside seating and a children's play area too! There were 10 if us eating and we all had a Sunday Roast which was delicious and plenty of it! There were four choices, Beef, Pork, Turkey or Nut Roast and each of us had one of those options and each one was equally as delicious! Priced at £13 for one course or a very reasonable £16 for two, this was incredible value. Unusually for a Sunday, there was the option to also choose from the regular menu too which is amazing! The staff were all really friendly and efficient, which was really impressive as there were two large parties in at the same time but neither group seemed to be waiting for any length of time. A good discovery which we will definitely return to!

What a great find. We're only on holiday but were treated like locals, such a friendly pub and village. Incredibly dog friendly. We haven't eaten here yet but definitely would and the menu looks good 👍

We had a fabulous meal, reasonable price for amazing ingredients. My sea bass was cooked to perfection. Staff were wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely love coming here, particularly the beer garden in the summer. One of those pubs you can spend hours at. Reasonably priced and food is good too.

Stopped here for lunch yesterday with our dog. Nice friendly pub, great service and nice food - we both opted for a pasta off the specials and both dishes were really nice. Decent pint of Aspall and a good rose wine - would recommend.

We had a lovely meal at the Ship on a Saturday evening. The food was reasonably priced, decent sized portions and delicious. We both rated the lamb shank.... Oh and the CHIPS! (not pictured) The chips were incredible. We ordered a side after seeing them on someone else's plate and don't regret it at all!
