    The Ship was warm and cosy when we walked in and received a friendly welcome. The menu was diverse yet not overwhelming. Although we were disappointed (but not surprised!) that the pigs in blanket sharer was sold out, we had the bread and oils instead which were unbelievably good - it made us go home and try to make a similar bread! The best bread, butter and oils we’ve gad in a ling time. The mains came out - pie of the day (chicken and chorizo) and sausage and mash - and we were blown away. Everything was cooked so well and tasted amazing! The food was the best part of our entire weekend holiday and we would eat here again inna heartbeat!

    A lovely country pub. We sat inside but there are plenty of seats and outside area for children. Although busy the staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and arrived quickly, hot and on time. The lamb was delicious and the baked cookie dough dessert yummy.

    The food and staff were great. We were on a holiday in the area and had our dog with us. We found a comfy corner in the bar area as he’s a big boy. We booked, worth doing. Highly recommend the pub.

    Very good provision for dog owners. Lovely setting and characterful building. Good outside area for children and seating generally. Food is the main draw as the gastro pub fare was exceptional.
